Guy Hollis is the Founding Director of The Gym People Ltd with 18 years’ experience in the sport and leisure industry.

As a sport obsessed child and teenager, Guy played U18 academy rugby for Bristol Bears before helping set up Old Cliftonians FC. His fitness journey started when, as an inactive 24 year old, he noticed a dramatic decrease in the enjoyment of his life. The struggle of that period inspired him to lose 2 stone, get fit and inspire others to do so.

Guy started his fitness journey cleaning toilets and has since worked in every department in the fitness industry. He became a personal trainer in 2008 before building a team of personal trainers, setting up a members’ gym and branching out into management of other sites in the South West of England.

Nowadays Guy lives with his wife and two young children. He relaxes by reading and learning from inspiring people, getting out in the countryside and attempting to learn Italian.

Davina Bamber is the Operations Manager at The Gym People, with over 20 years’ experience in business and customer experience.

She is passionate about customer service and believes in providing an excellent customer journey with nothing left to chance.  She works closely with Guy to ensure that The Gym People continue to deliver a high level of service and that every client receives the attention to detail that they deserve.

Simon began his career training in carpentry in the late eighties and early nineties.

He worked in the commercial sector until 2009 before moving over to residential projects, specialising in carpentry and all aspects of small building projects.

Simon has a wealth of experience managing small teams and carrying out refurbishments.

When he’s not spending time with his wife Cath, children Robert and Gracie…and Denzel the dog,  Simon can mainly be found riding bikes down steep mountains!

Other interests include interior design, eating well and occasionally drinking well!

Pete’s background is managing major refurbishment projects in Central and West London, for both the residential and commercial sector.

Having worked his way up from apprentice tea maker to managing large teams on exclusive projects, Pete is well versed in all aspects of the building process.

A family friend of founder Guy for over 30 years, Pete grew up in Bristol and enjoyed the delights of The West Country before settling down in East London.

Pete is a keen sportsman and enjoys running, watching Arsenal (more recently!) and spending time with family in their holiday home in Exmouth, Devon.
