History of Gym Geek

The website started as the personal blog of Ben Stone, providing tips and advice about working out, fitness and gym-life in general.
Over time, Gym Geek expanded into a comprehensive resource for workout routines, exercise guides and more, with contributions from Simon Walker and Jane King.
