Our Story
Founded by Karen Hughes in 2021, The Wellness Group was created with one simple mission: to help people feel good, inside and out.
What began as The Wellness Room, operating from a single hired treatment room in the heart of Trimdon Grange, started with a passion for bringing beautiful spa-style treatments to our local community. From those early days, our vision was always about creating a welcoming space where people could relax, recharge, and prioritise their wellbeing.
As demand grew, so did we.
In 2024, The Wellness Room evolved and we moved into our own dedicated premises, allowing us to expand both our space and our therapist team. This exciting growth meant we could offer even more luxurious treatments, create more beautiful experiences, and welcome even more wonderful clients through our doors.
In 2025, our journey expanded further with the launch of Feel Good Fitness, following Karen’s training as a Personal Trainer and Gym Instructor. This natural next step brought movement and fitness into our wellness offering, with energising and inclusive fitness programmes designed to support all abilities and lifestyles. From Clubbercise and Aquafit to our empowering Women’s Wellness Circuits, our focus has always remained the same—helping people feel stronger, healthier, happier and part of a supportive community.
Our newest addition, Sole Sounds, has quickly become one of the most joyful parts of The Wellness Group.
These uplifting Silent Disco Walk Experiences are all about movement, music, confidence, and connection. Combining walking, dancing, and classic feel-good tunes through silent disco headsets, Sole Sounds creates a completely unique wellness experience that encourages people to move more, improve fitness levels, boost mental wellbeing, and simply have fun.
More than just exercise, Sole Sounds is about freedom—embracing who you are, letting go of judgement, and finding confidence in movement, laughter, and community. These experiences have proven to support overall health and wellbeing, reduce social isolation, and positively impact mental wellness in a genuinely uplifting way.
At The Wellness Group, we believe wellbeing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Whether you’re seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, fitness, friendship, confidence, or simply a little time for yourself, our growing collection of treatments, classes, and experiences is designed to support you every step of the way.
And we’re only just getting started.
With new treatments, classes, and wellness experiences being added all the time, The Wellness Group continues to evolve—always with the same heart, purpose, and passion for helping our community feel their very best.
Welcome to our world of wellbeing.
We can’t wait to welcome you to one of our beautiful experiences very soon.
