Ship Shape

So whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, tone-up or improve your stamina and overall fitness we can help you do this in an environment which is both relaxing and enjoyable. All our memberships are fully inclusive and you do not pay for training programmes etc. Ship Shape first opened in January 1987. Back then it was called Omega Sportplex, which incorporated both the health club and Kobe-Osaka Karate Club. It was a family run business, with Tommy and Steven Morris teaching the karate, while Gillian with some help from Kenny looked after the Health Club. In 1991, Kenny was working full time in various Glasgow health clubs as a coach and personal trainer. He was also pursuing his bodybuilding career and attaining his goal of winning Mr Scotland, which he achieved in 1992. He decided to focus all his energy on developing and improving Ship Shape, so major changes were implemented in order to keep up with the fast moving health industry. All the heavy barbells and loose weights were removed and replaced with state of the art, American designed Polaris machines. With the karate making way for the expanding health club, we decided to change the name to Ship Shape Fitness Studio, now known as Ship Shape Gym. Kenny was now solely in charge of running Ship Shape and has over seen many changes since then, including reintroducing our free weights and having a functional training/cardio area.
