Businesswoman Marnie, who landed Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment after winning 'The Apprentice' in 2023, has used the money to overhaul her gym in Camberwell, South London, allowing it to become an affordable place for those in the community to meet up, train, learn discipline and feel a sense of belonging.
Marnie hosted a red carpet launch on Wednesday night (24.04.24), which was attended by several 'Apprentice' stars, including fellow gym owner and winner Rachel, this year's 'Apprentice' runner-up Phil Turner, as well as their fellow candidate Tre Lowe.
Bronx’s mantra is 'Beyond Boxing' - and Marnie wants to continue to expand the work in the inner-city community, as well as provide a 360-degree service to help talented boxers and users to develop and fulfil their full potential.
Of the expansion, Marnie said: "It’s fantastic to finally be able to complete the renovation, which has involved adding a whole new level to the gym to provide state of the art facilities to all the members and the community.
"Lord Sugar has not just provided the investment, but he and his team have been on hand with advice and support all the way through and I can’t speak highly enough of the help he has given.
"We’ve added a fully equipped weight room, sauna, disabled-access facilities and a cafe - and I really hope this can become a valuable part of the community, and an opportunity for all to access boxing and fitness, along with the health benefits taking park gives."
Marnie was delighted to have her 'Apprentice' pals at the launch to support her.
She added: "I’m really excited to see the gym thriving, it fills me with so much happiness to see all the support, especially from 'The Apprentice' crew.
"Here’s to the future for Bronx Gym and bigger and better things to come."
