Fit 4 Ever

In Loughborough, Leicestershire, Fit Friends is a gym, studio and wellbeing centre built around small group training. Classes are led by personal trainers and capped at four people, with a broad mix of session types across the week. It welcomes all abilities and ages from 14 upwards, and members can also access discounted counselling with an in-house qualified counsellor, offered face to face, by phone or over Zoom.

Small group training generally suits people who want more guidance than a standard gym floor offers without booking one-to-one sessions. Working in a tiny group usually means form gets checked, workouts can be adjusted to your level, and it is easier to stay motivated alongside familiar faces.
