A FITNESS expert was swept off her feet at the opening of a new health and fitness centre in 1988.

Lena Few was set to run the Oraton gym and health studio, in Polden Street, with brother Phil Notaro and nephew Antonio DeSena.

And the official opening saw World Championship bodybuilders Sean O'Reilly and Dave Allmond bring their knowledge to town to help the venue's first visitors.

The facility was officially opened by Bridgwater mayor, Cllr Trevor Donaldson.
