A High Quality Online Personal Trainer – Real World Fitness

💪 Online Training Backed by Real Experience

The online training industry is exploding — but most “online-only” coaches have little or no experience training people face-to-face.

At Real World Fitness in Nottingham, we run 500+ in-person PT sessions every month. That’s why our online coaching is different: every plan is built on real gym experience, not just theory.

  Real World Fitness is a great gym with a great community. If you're not a fan of the big commercial gyms I highly recommend you try this place out.

  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.

“I used to chase quick fixes. Various apps, meal plans, online diets, but nothing ever stuck. With Derran’s online coaching, everything finally made sense. He built me a simple, realistic plan that worked around my job and kids.

I committed to three 30 minute sessions a week and made steady progress. I was never guilt tripped, and didn’t have to put up with things that made no sense to my life. There was no nonsense, which was refreshing.

A year later, I’m two dress sizes smaller, stronger than ever, and finally feel consistent. I don’t track every calorie. I just train, eat well, and feel good. This online training is the first thing that actually worked for me!”

Sarah, 39
Fat loss and confidence building

“After a back injury, I thought my training days were over. Physio helped a bit but I still felt fragile. Derran’s online coaching started slow. I think it even felt TOO slow at first. But he helped with mobility and stability and I rebuilt myself properly with clear, simple explanations.

Six months later, I was squatting, deadlifting, hiking again, and pretty much pain-free. At 52, I’m stronger than I was in my 40s.

It’s not “rehab.” I tried that and it bored me to tears. It’s real training, it feels intelligent, and it gave me my confidence back.”

Mark, 52
Back rehab, strengthening and confidence

“When I started with Derran, I had no structure. He taught me technique and how to progress, not just copy random workouts. Weekly video feedback really helped me to make everything click.

In six months: squat 145kg, bench 105kg, deadlift 190kg from a small home setup that Derran even helped me source and design. There are no gimmicks with RWF, just simple programming and lots of accountability.”

Josh, 27
Strength and clarity of programming

“I’d spent years dieting and getting nowhere. With Real World Fitness’s online programming, I stopped chasing the number on the scales and trained for strength instead. I got three short workouts a week and realistic nutrition. That’s it – I thought it was too simple. Turns out I had been overcomplicating things for years.

The results are annoyingly good (only because I wasted time faffing around over the years and could kick myself not doing this sooner). I’m down a dress size, stronger, leaner, and feel finally in control. No more yo-yo dieting.

I don’t dread social occasions and dressing up anymore. I train, live my life, and feel good in my clothes.”

Claire, 45
Fat-loss & confidence

“After retiring, I felt stiff and “past it.” Derran built a programme around my limited dumbbells and bands, and probably more importantly, my limited mobility. We started small and I steadily gained strength and confidence.

Three years on, I lift, carry, climb stairs, and move mostly pain-free. Even my GP noticed the difference and I haven’t used my painkiller repeat prescription in months.

At 63, I feel younger than I have in decades. Derran’s online training gave me back my independence and I can’t thank him enough.

Alan, 63
