TWO sisters who launched a female-only gym are set to take their business to the next level - creating their own activewear line.
Maya and Cara Halliday opened Sorella Strength in Glasgow three weeks before the first Covid lockdown in 2020.


But despite being closed during the pandemic, their business has gone from strength to strength.
All classes had waiting lists when they reopened and personal trainers were fully booked.
Maya, 28, said: "We were the busiest that we've ever been after lockdown."

The buzz very quickly allowed the sisters to open Project Peach Studio, their second space, within a few months.
And the sisters say they feel very lucky to be in business together.
But Maya and Cara don't just work together - they are also flatmates and share a dog.
Maya told the Glasgow Times: “We do literally everything together, and we say every day how thankful we are that we get to do it together.”
Cara, 25, added: “Sisterhood is where it all started.”
And their gym name is a nod to the strong bond they share as siblings as Sorella means sister in Italian.
Cara and Maya leaned on each other for support in their own fitness journeys.
Now qualified personal trainers, they strive to recreate that support system in their own gym.
Cara said: “We wanted Sorella to be about finding a community and how important it is to have supportive women around you when you as a woman are training.

“We wanted to create that type of environment.”
The fitness-focused siblings are now planning to open Sorello gyms in other cities and are working on their very own gymwear line which is set to launch next year.
Cara said: “That’s taking our merchandise to the next level and having a platform separate from the gym.”
Maya added: “Everything seems to happen really fast and at once, and we forget that we’ve only been open for two years.
