Shed & Shred Fitness
Shed & shred
The shed office, or “shoffice”, is being replaced by the “shym”, the shed conversion that allows us to work out whatever the weather, in the privacy of our own homes. What was seen as an indulgence, pre-COVID, is now normal. Ditch the gym fees. All you need is a spare square of land and a shed, plus some of the latest equipment on offer.
