What an incredible journey visiting the Gladiators Experience at the NEC Birmingham. 🫶 Honestly felt like stepping straight onto the set of Gladiators. Such an amazing opportunity for members of the public to have a go at the iconic games themselves and go head-to-head on the Eliminator. 🏃🏽‍♂️ The whole experience is brilliantly set up and really well organised, with different sections for adults and children, loads of opportunities to play the games, dress as contenders, and fully immerse yourself in the Gladiators world. ⚔️ And then heading into the vault… wow. That really felt like going back into the 90s and seeing where it all began here in the UK. So much nostalgia. 🕰️ Huge thank you to the team for inviting us down we had an amazing time. ✨ If you’re a Gladiators fan, definitely go check it out 🏹 ✈️ 🎥 @iamjemmacox 🫶

When the 90s and 2025 collide 🤯 Iconic Gladiator Jet (@jetloves ) backstage at the @GladiatorsLiveTour , surrounded by the current era of arena icons. Among the moments captured is Jet’s reunion with Andrew Norgate - part of the original 90s production team and Assistant Referee and now Tour Consultant on the 2025 Live Tour. The arena never forgets 🙌 Be honest… how tempted do you think @JetLoves was to climb The Wall again? 😂 And just for fun - which 90s Gladiator would you love to see again? 👀⚡️ #Gladiators #GladiatorsTV #GladiatorsLiveTour

Gladiators ready…..can you hear the voice… I can!! Some of you have already met Diane, who has been actively involved in the studio and classes this summer. For me it’s pretty surreal to collaborate with someone I admired and thought of as my original ‘Strong Woman’ growing up in the ‘90s! Many of you may know her as “Jet” from ITV’s original Gladiators, but she’s even more impressive and wonderful to work with as Diane a professional therapist and well versed woman in dance, movement and fitness. Diane spent 4½ years on the popular show before leaving due to an injury. With over 40 years of experience, she has had a diverse career in dance, choreography, and fitness, having trained at London Contemporary Dance School and London Studio Centre. She was also part of the National Youth Dance Company and National Youth Theatre. In addition to her performing career, Diane achieved her dream of becoming a Counsellor and Psychotherapist (BACP) and is now also a lecturer, training future therapists to help people in need. She developed the ‘Core Philosophy Programme,’ a workshop that blends psychology, nutrition, and fitness, delivered to colleges, businesses, law firms,the NHS and to pupils in schools and more and will be offereing this at the studio as a special introductory workshop in October, bokking will be live for this event on Gymcatch. Diane continues to inspire through her fitness and dance expertise, specialising in Zumba and Pilates. She’s passionate about outdoor activities like walking, and will be joining us on future wellbeing walks and wild swimming events. Diane is thrilled to be working alongside me and our vibrant movement community to help grow The Space, Melissa Black Method Tynemouth. Together, we’re collaborating to design new programs aimed at supporting the health, social, and psychological well-being of teenage girls in schools, these should be ready to go in the New Year. In addition to her group classes at the studio, Diane is also available for 1:1 training sessions and therapy appointments. You can contact her directly for further information via this email [email protected] Contenders… ready! #originalgladiator

We had an absolute blast stepping into the arena as Guest Maze Masters at @thecrystalmaze last week! It brought back so many epic memories from the 90s when we were battling it out on Gladiators. 💥 Naturally, we couldn’t resist getting competitive and jumping into a few games ourselves! Crystals, nostalgia, and a Gladiator’s spirit 💪 #startthefansplease #crystalmazelondon

Check it out! #Gladfans #Gladfam ❤️💥💪
