FAQs – The best personal trainer in Nottingham

What actually makes a personal trainer ‘the best’?
For us it’s about experience, safe coaching, and consistent results, not who can shout loudest or post the most selfies on social media.

How much does it cost?
One-to-one personal training starts from £45 a session, with discounts for block bookings. No hidden extras.

I’m unfit… will I hold everyone up?
Not at all. Most of our clients are initially unfit or nervous. We scale everything so you can start comfortably – and we don’t do group training, so there’s no pace to keep up with.

I’m over 50 — is it too late to start?
Absolutely not. We specialise in helping over-50s build strength safely and steadily.

Do you have parking?
Yes, plenty of free spaces right outside the door, and 24-hour access for members.

Can I try it first?
We offer a free initial consultation/training session to all new clients.

Even if you don’t want or need personal training, you can trial the gym completely free for 7 days

Every full gym member also gets a free guest pass each month for the gym.
