I’ve never really been a big gym-goer and was honestly quite nervous about joining somewhere new. But after losing a substantial amount of weight and being on a big health kick, I decided to give it a go — and joining Real World Fitness was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Living in Colwick, the location is perfect for me as it’s literally only a 3-minute walk from my house, which makes staying consistent so much easier and takes away any excuse not to go! The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it never feels overcrowded or intimidating. Everyone is respectful, which makes it such a comfortable place to train, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. The gym has a fantastic range of equipment, especially for weightlifting, and everything you need to properly progress. A huge shoutout to Derran as well — his experience, knowledge, and encouragement have been amazing throughout my fitness journey. He’s genuinely helped me build confidence and push myself further than I ever thought I could. Six months ago, I would never have imagined myself deadlifting, squatting heavy weights, or going to the gym 4–5 times a week. Now I can honestly say I love it, and I’ve got Real World Fitness to thank for that. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to start or get back into fitness.

I can’t recommend this gym enough. Living in West Bridgford, I was looking for somewhere nearby where I could train consistently, and it’s been the perfect fit. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s more than just a gym—it really feels like a community. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and there’s a genuine “family” atmosphere that makes a huge difference. Derran, the owner, is such a big part of the gym's "family" atmosphere — he’s incredibly approachable, always has time for a chat, and genuinely cares about everyone who trains there. He’s created such a positive, supportive environment where you feel comfortable straight away. The facilities are excellent. The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and really well-equipped with a great range of machines and weights. Even with all the equipment, it still feels spacious, so you never feel on top of each other while training. Having toilets and a proper changing area on site is also really convenient. One of the things I’ve noticed most is how comfortable I feel training, no matter the situation. Whether I’m working out at night on my own or training around other people, I always feel safe and confident being there. That’s something I didn’t have before, and it’s made such a difference to my consistency. It’s just a genuinely great place to train. I’ve felt more motivated, more confident, and much more at ease in myself since joining. If you’re looking for a gym with great facilities, a welcoming atmosphere, and an owner who truly cares, this is definitely the place to be.

Hi, I’m Chris. Like many people, I was never a sports star in school and only started my fitness journey in my forties when I realized I needed to lose weight.

My first step was an aerobics session at a local leisure center, and from there, I explored a range of different classes. But it was weightlifting that truly ignited a passion in me. I’ve been on my own journey of discovery, and I understand what it feels like to be at the very beginning. My goal is to help you find your own path, build confidence, and discover a form of exercise you genuinely love.

Hi, I’m Chris.

Like many others, I was never a sports star at school and only began exercising and using a
gym, in my forties when I realised I needed to lose weight. I started my fitness journey at a
local leisure centre’s aerobics session before trying a range of different classes and then
discovering a passion for weightlifting.

At the age of 50 I was encouraged by a trainer to take part in a kettlebell sport competition
and won my first ever medal! That was followed by winning many more medals, breaking
British records and eventually representing England at international level. As running is
assistance work for Kettlebell Sport, I also ran two half marathons and was a regular face at
Colwick Parkrun until 2021.

Needing more challenge, I changed direction in 2020 and began exploring powerlifting,
competing with some bigger weights!

I am a parent and grandparent and taught in primary schools for 32 years, retiring from
teaching very recently. This gives me an understanding of the challenges of finding time to
work, care for family and exercise. My teaching skills help me break new ideas into bite size
pieces and support individuals to make progress at their own level.

All the above gives me understanding about how it feels to be a beginner and new to training as well as how to train at a high level. I have more than 20 years’ experience of using gyms and training. Many individuals feel nervous and uncertain about how to use weights in a gym – I did too when I was getting started.

My aim is to introduce people of all ages to the gym, show them how to lift safely and develop their own exercise habits leading them to feel physically and mentally strong long into later life.

I had a personal trainer before and didn’t notice any progress…but training with Derran has been a completely different experience.

Claire

I started to feel the benefits immediately, and now my shoulder is fixed!

Gregg

The thing that I value most about the PT aspect is the individuality

Peter

I’ve lost 33kg working with Derran at RWF!

Matt

I’ve already seen significant improvements that had previously evaded me no matter what I tried.

Andrea

I’m now walking again pain free!
