On the day I’m visiting Saints Health Club in Nairobi to interview its CEO Patrick Namwambah, his phone barely stops beeping. Tens of clients are calling to enquire about equipment, both for hire and sale. At one point, Patrick excuses himself to demonstrate to a customer how to install an indoor cycling bike at home.
“I’m decommissioning 50 percent of the equipment,” he says as we settle down on planks in an empty room that normally serves as the fitness studio.
