What our clients say
fitandhappy gives an excellent individual service. Julia is a lovely person to spend time with, totally listens to what you want, and then designs unique approaches that fit with your life. I am already feeling stronger and more energetic!
I never imagined how much I could achieve in such a small space of time. fitandhappy helped peel me off the sofa and squat jump into my new, healthier life. Amy has been an incredible support throughout my weight loss journey. I can’t recommend fitandhappy enough, they have turned my life around in so many ways!
I started with Julia just over a month ago. I have lost a stone and have learned how to eat a balanced diet. No calorie counting... no cravings anymore ( that took a few weeks to pass) and no binges. Julia has changed my attitude to food which I didn't think was possible.

Don't want to go it alone? Buddy up for Group Personal Training
2:1 Personal Training
Train with a buddy. This option makes it more affordable and can be a good choice for those who like to work with a partner.
The programme is slightly less individualised but works well as you have to be accountable to your buddy.
If desired you will be given a monthly home workout programme that you can do by yourself or with your friend/partner/husband.
Choose your preferred workout space. Often the outdoors work best for this as we are not restricted by space.
Train once, twice or up to five times per week
Small Group Training
Less personalisation but more affordable and best suited to those who like to work in a team.
Skip the cappuccino and muffin and meet in the park for a workout instead. It's great fun working out with your friends and it ensures you are being surrounded by supportive and likeminded people. People who try to lose weight in a group often see the best results.
If desired you will be given a monthly home workout programme that you can do by yourself or with your friends.
