Silverback Gym teams up with Highland Coast Hotels to offer gym facilities at Brora’s Royal Marine Hotel
Highland Coast Hotels’ Royal Marine Hotel has joined forces with Tain-based Silverback Gym to open the third venue in its growing portfolio, which already includes gyms in Tain and Dornoch.
Silverback Gym was founded by Jim and Ruth Gagan in 2016 after years of dreaming about a better local fitness facility.
Inspired by their love for working out and a desire to create a welcoming, community-driven space, they transformed a joiner's workshop in Tain into the Silverback Gym.
Today, they continue to operate the family-run gym with a focus on fitness, inclusivity, and the spirit of togetherness.
As part of the new partnership, Royal Marine Hotel in Brora is now able to offer complimentary access to the gym for its resident guests during their stay at hotel, including a range of weight training equipment, as well as cardiovascular machines.
Silverback Gym is also offering weekly, monthly and drop-in memberships for people in the local community, as well as drop-in day passes for visitors touring the North Coast 500, which can be purchased on the day.
The new gym at Royal Marine Hotel in Brora can now be accessed 24 hours a day, allowing inclusivity and flexibility for people working on different schedules.
Billy McKechnie, general manager of Royal Marine Hotel in Brora, said:
“Our partnership with Silverback Gym offers a new state-of-the-art wellness facility to Royal Marine Hotel here in Brora. This collaboration allows us to offer our guests a unique experience in the Highlands that blends relaxation and fitness during their stay.
“Whether visiting in the winter or throughout the year, our guests will enjoy complimentary access to the gym, 24 hours a day, making it easy to stay active and refreshed. We’re excited to enhance our guests’ overall wellbeing with this fantastic new facility.
Ruth Gagan, co-founder of Silverback Gym, said:
“We’re excited to launch our third Silverback Gym venue at the Royal Marine Hotel here in Brora, driven by the strong demand from the local community.
“It was important for us to partner with a business that shares our values of community and wellness, and the Royal Marine Hotel offers the perfect space with a welcoming atmosphere.
“Together, we’re able to provide a facility that not only supports fitness but also enhances the overall guest experience year-round, as well as providing a well-needed facility in the Brora community.”
