A NEW fitness supplement shop in Trowbridge hopes to promote a healthy lifestyle in the town, after being officially opened by Trowbridge’s champion boxer Nick Blackwell on Saturday.

New Body Supplements, which is located in Roundstone Street, will provide a range of supplements for stamina and recovery, pre and post workout, diet and weight loss and joint care.

Owner Ozzie Derfoufi, who previously worked at LA Gym in Bristol, said the new shop offers a large variety of high end health supplements and sports nutrition, supporting both amateur and professional athletes.

Among the brands provided by New Body Supplements is BioTech USA - with NutriStrength also set to be in store soon - while anyone is welcome to visit the store to talk about creating an exercise or diet plan.

Mr Derfoufi said: “I have been in the gym industry for many years and I have seen many people buying protein supplements but not being sure what it does and how to incorporate it into routines.

“Some people will buy stuff off websites which is cheap and doesn’t do what it says as it is fake, so I thought why not open a shop that provides all the information people need about the different supplements on the market.

“It is almost like a kind of consultancy and if you come in saying, for example, that you play football and have injured yourself we can find something tailored to that particular type of recovery.

“It is not just for guys that want to bulk up. We have supplements for both men and women and there really is something for everybody, so anyone who comes in can discuss exercise or diet plans and we can find the right product for them.”

New Body Supplements is located at 30 Roundstone Street. To find out more information, contact 01225 753047 or visit the store’s Facebook page.
