Get ready to bring the heat, Newcastle! This week’s community spotlight is all about Bailey, the firecracker behind the highly anticipated studio, The 108, opening its doors today.

Bailey’s journey to wellness started in the U.S, where an active upbringing sparked a lifelong interest in movement. But it was her MSc in Psychology in Newcastle that gave her fascination a new depth. “I used assignments to study the powerful effects of nutrition on mental health,” Bailey explains. “I’ve been fascinated with how a clean diet supports not just physical vitality but mental clarity and gut health; it’s so important to nurture that vital connection between mind and body.” Her holistic approach forms the backbone of The 108, a studio that’s about far more than fitness, empowering both men and women to connect with their strength on their own terms.

When Bailey describes The 108 Studio, she talks about more than just heated yoga classes and pilates. She envisions a full sensory experience, where heat, music, and movement come together to create an environment that’s grounding, meditative, and yes, a bit of a party. 

For Bailey, this isn’t just about teaching classes, it’s about creating a space for people to connect with their inner strength and break free from traditional ideas of fitness. With a tagline like "Health is Hot", and her gritty, no-nonsense approach,  she’s created an atmosphere where feeling “hot” is less about temperature or vanity and more about tapping into a deeper kind of power.  The 108 is a studio where “hot” is defined as an inner fire, a kind of energy that fuels you, ignites confidence, and pushes you to discover strength you didn’t know you had.

With her relentless schedule, Bailey needs the energy of a bee to keep up her momentum. Her Bee Boost & Cacao Smoothie, made with power-house ingredients like Organised, royal jelly and cacao, has become her go-to fuel.

“I have Organised every single day,” Bailey says. “To be able to get a high-quality protein source & organs as well is literally amazing to me. I’ve noticed clearer skin, which is so special to me. I also feel satiated and well-fuelled with sustained energy levels after having it".
