A Rosemary Conley keep-fit instructor who has helped hundreds of people lose weight is to be recognised for her achievements.

Kim O'Dell, who runs a Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs franchise in Brighton, is in line for one of the company's business development awards.

Kim, who lives in Crawley, has been running fitness clubs in Brighton, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Saltdean since August last year.

Rosemary Conley said the award was aimed at franchisees which had shown a significant improvement in their business performance.

She said: "Kim has worked very hard to make her business the success it is today. She has helped hundreds of members to lose weight and become fitter and healthier."
