The Gym

Body by Selena began in January 2002 in a small studio room in a townhouse where I lived on 41 Cherry Drive. After 5 months of training one on one and two at a time, I realized the potential of the classes and moved into a larger studio, which I created out of the house where I resided for three years on 7 Oliver Crescent. This is where the business really began to take shape as the classes were established and my reputation really started to grow.

In 2005 I moved into the gym’s current location in Millsborough, where an enclave of three studios has been incorporated into the rear section of the house where I reside and work out of. Next year will mark the tenth year of Body by Selena offering one hour total body workouts, weight loss solutions and nutritional guidance. The location is not only convenient with an atmosphere that is fun, its garden setting is unique and its instructors are consistent and first-class.
