Thank You for an Incredible Launch Night at Unleashed Performance Reading!
Last night was a huge success, and we want to thank everyone who joined us to make our launch event such a memorable evening. Bringing Unleashed Performance to its new location has come with its challenges—but as with fitness, nothing worthwhile comes easily.
Unleashed Performance (formerly Progressive Fitness) has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, forging extraordinary relationships along the way. Last night was a testament to this community spirit, with familiar faces from the Boot Camp days and our first gym in Tilehurst joining us once again. This community goes beyond just current members; it’s about everyone who’s been on the journey with us. By setting people on the right path and transforming health and fitness, we create strong bonds. Our mission at Unleashed Performance Reading is to keep changing lives and bringing people together through fitness.
We owe a massive thank you to the incredible friends, coaches, and partners who helped get this project off the ground. Their support made last night possible—and most of them gave their time simply because they care.
Special thanks to:
Friends and Helpers: Luke Howroyd, Phil Beeney, Mark Dyson, Scott Willmott (and his team), Pauline Whittaker, Phil Stevens, Jim Clifton (and Smart Impressions), Lee Carnaby (who also used his artistic skills), Tony Charles, Rahul Karavadra, Will Morris.
These people moved the gym and helped set it up at Apex. The work was truly backbreaking, and we couldn’t have done it without them!
The Unleashed Performance Coaches for their constant dedication to our mission, always willing to go the extra mile.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. Here’s to the future, the community, and the incredible transformations ahead!
