Safety & rehab


We regularly help clients train safely around back, knee, hip and shoulder issues. If you’re post-physio or returning after surgery, we’ll liaise with your medical team (if you have one) and progress you carefully, taking into account their advice and guidance. We don’t just ignore the input from other professionals.

Results our clients tell us they value


• Moving without aches and stiffness


• Climbing stairs and hills with ease


• Feeling stronger and steadier on your feet


• Sustainable weight loss without crash diets


• Confidence to enjoy life — not just the gym
