Description

The story of inspirational personal trainer Javeno McLean, who from the age of 16 has dedicated himself to helping others. Born in Jamaica in 1985, Javeno was raised in the Blackley and Crumpsall areas of North Manchester. Early on, he achieved his goal of becoming a top-flight professional cricketer, but soon realised that his true passion lay in helping and encouraging others to achieve. He began his new career running Manchester City Council funded community exercise classes, before deciding to open J7 in 2015. "I hate the word 'gym' that's why it's called the J7 Health Centre. A gym can be a lonely intimidating place. I wanted to create an environment for people to feel safe. I wanted somewhere anyone could come in and feel welcome, somewhere where no one is watching you and judging what you're doing."
