The company was founded when Ross Norfolk was seeking to attend a personal training course and asked Ross Knevett which company he would say is the best locally. After the conversation, both of us discovered that there are not any local training centres in the east that provide a professional and affordable package for personal training.. With Ross Knevett having extensive experience in the fitness industry with qualified teacher status and Ross Norfolk having a degree in Sports Management and experience in administration, here ABC Academy was born.
Both owners believe that ABC academy will provide the highest quality of training for members of the public, by using one of the top rated gyms in Essex and providing recognised professionals to deliver Active IQ qualifications.
