E-mail  krista@patch.com. This week we're catching up with Edmund Duah, owner of personal training gym Sculptor at Strength in North Chelmsford.

Q: When and why did you decide to start your business?

A: I had been in business for a while before opening this location at 51 Middlesex Street in December 2007. I had a mission and vision to create an experience, a comfortable yet intense atmosphere where people could learn and exercise without feeling inadequate and lonely...a place that allows and encourages total acceptance of one’s self image and to coexist with people without judgment. I wanted it to be full of respect, an experience you look forward to.

Q: What is your personal background in nutrition and training?

A: I studied Exercise Physiology at the University of Science and Technology of Ghana and I’m a Certified Fitness Trainer with International Sports Sciences Association with many years of sports performance training and nutrition.

Q: Describe the atmosphere of Sculptor at Strength for people who have never been there.

A: Well, Sculptor at Strength, just like the name is one of a kind. Most of our friends calls it “the sanctuary,” or “the experience." One must just come in to get a taste of it.

Q: What would you say to any potential clients interested in your gym?

A: If one is truly serious about learning and understanding proper exercise movements, program schemes, sensible nutritional and results, Sculptor at Strength is #1 on the planet. Our rates are also very attractive.

Q: Why did you choose Chelmsford and what do you like about doing business in town?

A: I use to do business out of Chelmsford/Nashua and so when the time came for me to open the “Experience,”  Chelmsford had a location and the structure that was situated in the center of a triangle from where most clients/friends came from. I like doing business in Chelmsford because I had no choice but to do business here. I also have come to understand Chelmsford is made up of many great, loving, beautiful, caring and respectful people.
