Supporting him, his husband James brings expertise across marketing, customer engagement, and local brand execution, ensuring the Richmond studio delivers a strong sense of community while maintaining the elevated standards of the FACEGYM brand.

The Jameses decided to launch their own studio after experiencing the facial workouts themselves. After multiple visits to the studio, the couple became dedicated advocates of the brand and found themselves wishing the experience was closer to home.

Following one particularly session, they began exploring the opportunity to bring FACEGYM to Richmond, combining genuine passion for the concept with operational and financial expertise to create a destination tailored to their local community.

James Culley-Harris said: "Richmond has a strong wellness culture and a highly engaged community, so bringing FACEGYM here felt like an incredibly natural fit.

"We became genuine converts to the brand through our own experience and immediately saw the opportunity for a studio that could deliver something innovative, energising, and results-driven within South West London.

"Our ambition is to create a destination that not only delivers exceptional treatments, but also becomes part of people's lifestyle and wellbeing routines."
