It features a premium training kit from the specialists AlphaFit and is designed to match The Bod’s hot pink branding.
But, Sophie says, some former fans criticized her decision to buy a room to use as her own personal gym. She has been called “out of touch” because no one else can access the gym.
“I haven’t always had the ability to work out in a gym and I understand the battle many women face when it comes to working out,” she told the Daily Mail.
She says the new space, which cost her about AU$100,000 (about £53,000), will allow her to share her fitness expertise with busy women around the world who may not be able to get to a gym.
“To make sure I can provide new workouts and challenges for all The Bod fans online, this will be a space where I can show them how to train, work out virtually together and more,” she says.
