Ex-Swindon Town footballer star Mark Robinson has a new goal, having just opened a new fitness club in Oaksey, near Malmesbury.

The one-time centre-half, who saw eight seasons at Swindon Town, is now running Runway One a purpose built gym based at Oaksey airfield.

"We opened on January 3 and the response so far has been fantastic," he said.

Aged 35, Mark said he didn't really give much thought as to what he'd do once he left professional football until he was 33.

"At 31 I felt great," he said, "but by 33 my body fell apart. Which is when I started to consider life after football.

"All I knew was that I wanted to stay in the fitness and leisure industry."

After gaining a diploma in personal training and a year spent running a personal fitness business, MRPT Ltd, Mark says he's now getting used to being a businessman.

"It's exciting and frightening in equal measure," he said. "But in truth, I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning."

The gym is open from 7am until 9pm.
