Our Team

Leighann Jewitt

Leighann Jewitt

Owner & Personal Trainer

“Hello everyone I’m Leighann.

Let me start by welcoming you to the MyoFam, bringing me on to introduce my role as Myo Muscle owner (every time I say those words, I need to pinch myself).

My background is adult nursing and I am a naturally caring/supportive person and being able to see the journey of my members in the gym brings me a similar feeling to those back in my nursing days. Understanding that everyone is on their own path and the joy small steps can bring to a person not only making a physical difference but also the difference you are making with your mind, which I believe is as important, one really does compliment the other.

I have created a safe environment here at Myo which promotes participation, inclusivity and learning for all who attend, making sure we have the best equipment, the ethical no contracts and the absolute right staff who are always on hand to help and advice. I myself have an infectious enthusiasm and devotion to people, which is paramount to making your time at Myo enjoyable and of benefit.

I am a positive ‘can do’ person who is self-motivated and thrive from seeing great results. We all measure success in different ways, I measure success on being a good person and providing an environment people can flourish and meet their individual needs. That’s why in 2020 I knew it was my destiny to take over ownership of MyoMuscle. The blood, the sweat, the tears and multiple lock downs but wow was it worth it. If a ‘thing’ could reflect a person, the gym perfectly reflects me. It embodies hard work, determination, a never give up attitude and no matter the obstacles or life challenges we will always come out stronger.

I truly believe MyoMuslcle is the place to ‘level up’.  I am a qualified Personal Trainer with a wealth of experience and I have an adaptable approach and can tailor sessions or advise to suit your needs and lifestyle.

When you see me at the counter please come and say “Hi” and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

“I am Donna and after taking a five year career break I joined the fantastic Myo Muscle Gym.
I have ran my own successful business , but I felt like it was time to take a break to concentrate on being a Mum and I chose to  relocate back to the North East; thats when I was offered the chance to join the Myo team.
It has been a great way of getting back out a meeting new people in a lovely environment, with a great bunch of friendly faces and a fabulous team. The social beneifts always compliment the physical ones you can achieve whilst training here at Myo Muscle Gym.
I am keen to help you in your fitness journey and will support you in any way I can.”

Rara here,  I have come on board to help with the social side of Myo Muscle; updating the social media accounts, keeping us on trend with new ideas such as TikTok and the development of the new website.
You will see my smiling face behind the counter on a regular basis as I am keen to develop my role in the development of Myo with Leighann and the team and support you in your fitness journey.
Alongside Fusco Media and my husband Keith we aim to inject new and fresh images and content to showcase what being part of the #Myofam is all about, showing the real gym and what it has to offer.
 
I am approachable, friendly and sometimes too chatty! I can almost always be found catching up with other members of the team or encouraging gym members to follow, like and share the newest content on the pages.
 
I started my fitness journey at, Myo Muscle recently and now look forward to my workouts with confidence and the sound knowledge that my journey has a personal approach tailored to suit my abilities and strengths.
 
Just be careful,  I am often armed, phone in hand snapping behind the scenes moments from the gym, so remember to smile, grimace or wave.”

“My name’s Marie and I was first introduced to fitness and Myomuscle 4 years ago as a member.

Myomuscle staff and members made me feel so welcome. Since joining as a member I have been lucky enough to become a team member and I am very passionate about fitness and the benefits it has on your mental health.

I can be seen ensuring the finer details of the cleanliness and upkeep of the gym itself, maintaining a high standard of tidyness and hygiene at all times.”

“Hi I’m Nathan and I am a fully qualified Personal trainer here at MYO. I love to train hard and push my limit alongside clear and focused goals.

Gym Team Member

“Hi I’m Joe I’m the quiet member of the team and I have been with Myo for nearly a year.

I work many of the later shifts in the gym due to my other daily work commitments but I still find time to be supportive, offering tips and advice to members who may need a little more guidance.

 
I have been a keen Thai boxer since I was 13 and have fought internationally across the world. I do try to keep up with the training as often as I can.
I also played for Peterlee & Horden Rugby Club and enjoyed a junior career with this team. What position do you think I played?
 
I hold a A-Level in Physical Education which supports my knowledge and skill base in the gym setting.
If I can help you in anyway please just ask, I’m a mean DJ on the mix station.”
