We are confident we offer the best gym environment in North Bedfordshire.
Our “light and airy” gym environment has been created to make working out a pleasure. It offers high ceilings, lots of natural light and great views over the surrounding countryside. The gym is kept clean, our air conditioning is modern and effective, and we don’t pack our gym kit close together, so that each member has plenty of individual space.
Unlike most gyms, we directly employ our Personal Trainers and aim to ensure they offer a mix of different skills, experience and expertise. If you are looking for that extra push, then our Personal Trainers are available for individual PT sessions. They are popular because they get results!
Unlike most gyms, we directly employ our Personal Trainers and aim to ensure they offer a mix of different skills, experience and expertise.
Central to the gym floor is our Omnia Rig, a functional training system which optimises strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination and speed. It is designed specifically for small group personal training (4-8 people), to combine the individual attention of one-to-one training with the community dynamic of exercising in a group setting. Our instructors hold regular gym floor workouts which can be found on our studio timetable. These often also make use of our Wattbikes™ and SKILLMILLs™ making them sessions not to be missed!
We offer a full selection of cardio equipment, including the Excite Climb machines, Treadmills, Rowers, Bikes, Varios, and Synchros. These are all in the stunning top-of-the-range Technogym Artis collection with large screens and numerous entertainment options including Sky TV.
Add to this a functional floor space, a fully equipped strength zone including plate-loaded machines, Wattbikes™ and Concept 2 rowers and you won’t be short of options for your work-out!

I have worked in the fitness industry for many years across multiple gyms and have had the pleasure of working with people from all different areas of fitness. During this time, I have gained experience in and tested myself with different methods of training such as weightlifting, cardio or high intensity interval training. I have a strong background in martial arts and boxing which are both great for burning fat, toning the body and developing your confidence. I have helped people prepare for boxing matches including white collar matches and those that are fighting for local titles but have also seen great improvements in fitness from people that just wanted to get in better shape with this type of training.
I specialise in:
• Boxing/Pad Work
• Weight training
• Circuit training
• Fat loss
• Core strength

EXPERIENCE
My aim is to change the way you think about exercise. We are brought up in a system of working muscle groups and not movements, and often we feel disconnected from our bodies. Modern work and lifestyle patterns also mean we spend more time sitting and less time moving. Over time this can lead to chronic pain and injuries. I often see clients that are just finding ways to work through or around the pain they suffer and are not addressing the pain itself. My goal is to change that, and after an initial assessment, I devise a comprehensive and rounded plan.
I specialise in:
Injury prevention/Rehabilitation
Functional Training
Mobility/Stability
Pain free exercise
Movement Assessment & Screening.
“Mark is without doubt one of the best trainers I’ve met. He possesses an in-depth knowledge in his field of work and his passion comes through in all his sessions. Not only has he assisted me in recovering from a long standing back injury he’s also reignited my desire to train, but to train intelligently. I could not recommend his services enough and look forward to learning from and being trained by him in the future.“

EXPERIENCE
My previous experience as a performer in West End musicals during my younger days, taught me that a positive mindset can really help you achieve your goals and passion. This belief gave me the foundation to build my own physical fitness. Since 2014, I have been a certified Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, helping people to achieve their fitness goals. By being a positive driving force behind people, I help them to become the best version of themselves, physically and mentally.
I also teach circuits, Les Mills Body Attack, Body Pump, Body Jam, and LBT so you will see me in the studios as well! Keeping myself fit helped me recover quickly from my recent hip replacement surgery , I am back to being in top form and ready to inspire others with my story.
I specialise in:
- Core strength
- Weight loss
- Flexibility/mobility
- Cardiorespiratory endurance
- Goal-setting and motivation
- Building Confidence
“After months of injury and operations on my foot and knee, it was with some trepidation I signed up to my Gym induction with Garry.
But I shouldn’t have worried as he understood the mental and physical effects of injury and showed me how to use the equipment to strengthen my legs, and to build stamina. I followed his advice and now some weeks later I am on the running machine, swimming and doing weights. Quite apart from anything else he totally energised me and cheered me up, he is fabulous, empathetic and encouraging. He is also an amazing skater – he was in Starlight Express the show, in the West End and then took the show to Germany. What an amazing person to have in our midst.”

Now having met my goals, I wish to use my skills, my
experience, and my own journey to help others. I personally know how being overweight and unfit affects your whole life and I am passionate about being there for those who need help to meet their goals.
We are designed to move, and with my experience & qualifications I help people move better. To live better. To be better.

“I’ve never been one of those people who looks forward to exercise, I don’t have self-discipline or self-motivation, I was almost 20 stone and decided to join the gym, this is where I met Majia and my
love for training started, her sessions focus on fitness, strengthening and toning, I look forward to attending each week, since meeting Maija I’ve lost 7 stone and gained a level of fitness and flexibility I
never thought possible, I feel energised and confident, Maija has the ability to train you and make it fun, you can see the dedication she has, I highly recommend her.”

EXPERIENCE
My earliest memory of being involved in fitness was in infant school, helping to lead fitness classes with my dad in the school hall.. I never knew then how much those experiences would help to shape my life and career choice!
Ever since then health and fitness has always been a part of my life and this is a philosophy I like to share, as we all have a body that requires movement to keep it healthy.
I qualified as a fitness instructor in 2006 after gaining Exercise to Music, and by 2008 I had added Pilates, Circuits, Level 2 Nutrition, Gym Instruction and the Personal Trainer Award to my repertoire. I made the decision to enter the fitness industry as I was always being asked for fitness advice. By 2006 I had 4 children.. (I say had as I’m the mother of 7 now!) and remained fit, slim and healthy – and people wanted to know how to gain the same results.
I have many years of experience in the fitness industry, and I understand life’s demands and the necessary juggling in order to make your fitness needs a priority. My motivational skills are second to none! And I have the passion to assist you to achieve your goals, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.. together we will do this!
“My PT sessions have been fantastic. She builds up such a great rapport and always gets the best out of me. After only a few sessions I am already seeing the benefits of working with her. Although she is clearly pushing me to achieve my best she is always conscious of not pushing so hard that I injure myself. I cannot praise her enough. I am so pleased with my sessions that I have just signed up for four more – with Shanice of course!”
