Who are We?
Polly
I trained as a 1-1 Personal Trainer in 2020 after I’d got back into fitness myself and wanted to help others on their health and fitness journey.
I started out online, and then in local parks and also in peoples own homes. I then worked from the Bank Fitness in Henleaze for 2 years before getting my own place on Kellaway Avenue at the end of 2024
I’m originally from Cumbria – yes that’s even more north than Birmingham !
In a previous life I’ve been a Christian Missionary, an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor, a Home Educator and a Bartender. (Though not in that order!)
Olivia (or Liv) joined us May 2025.
She’s been through quite an incredible health journey herself and has a particular focus and interest in helping those with post viral fatigue and who are neurodivergent
She doesn’t own a TV
She spent 10 years in South America as a film and documentary producer for trade unions and women worker’s rights; which included flying in a UN helicopter and meeting heads of state!
She hates bananas and loves marmite !
Naomi joined the team at the end of last year.
She’s had a long career in Wildlife conservation (including some time in Botswana and Namibia catching Leopards!) then mainly for charities in wildlife and environmental sector since then
She’s always been into fitness and sport – even forced her way onto the football team when girls weren’t allowed!
She’s experienced the transformational effect of exercise and feeling strong has had on her various stages of life; pregnancy, post natal, busy mum and now menopause.
Although she’s been living in Bristol for 25 years now – she’s originally a Brummy
What do we do and how do we serve our clients?
We work in small groups of no more than 6 people
We work with those who:
Have never done any structured exercise before (or it’s been a while!)
Know they need to do something more than walking and Pilates if they want to keep hold of their muscles
Want to be shown how to use weights properly
Know they need to go somewhere to make sure they actually do it!
Find commercial gyms unfriendly, overwhelming and generally not very inspiring!
How do we serve them?
By providing an all over resistance based training programme in a small group
Creating a safe environment for everyone no matter what their level of fitness is 
Inviting them to be part of a community of like minded individuals also on their own similar journey 
Regular social get togethers and member events
Providing access to our online resources including workouts; postural exercises, stretches, recipe packs and anything else to help support them between sessions 
Providing accountability, support and encouragement in a friendly atmosphere 
*What have others said about us?*

“Polly encourages us all to work hard and progress, no matter what our level of fitness. I’d definitely recommend her” Nikki, 54 yrs
