Olympian grandmother launches Sunderland fitness studio to raise spirits and confidence through weightlifting

Weights and Cakes is preparing to launch in Nile Street once lockdown eases, with Olympic weightlifter athlete and coach Zoe Chandler at the helm.
The 48-year-old has set up the Community Interest Company (CIC) to run classes, encouraging those who might shy away from fitness venues and sports to strengthen their bodies and mental health.
