You don't need to be fit before you come to us

Coach, The Transformation Rooms

One of the things we hear more than anything is, 'I need to get a bit fitter before I come to you.' We understand why. If you haven't exercised for a while, the idea of walking into a studio can feel like you're turning up underprepared.

But helping you start is part of our job. You don't need to train first to earn your place here.

The worries people quietly carry

People tell us they're nervous about holding everyone up. Or not knowing what to do. Or being the least fit person in the room.

Here's the honest truth: most of the people training here felt exactly the same before they started. You won't be the odd one out — you'll be in very familiar company.

What would make it less intimidating?

If you're unsure, the thing that usually helps is knowing what to expect. Who's going to meet you. What you'll actually do. And that you can take it at your own pace.

That's why we run open mornings. You can come and have a look, meet the coaches and ask anything you like — in your normal clothes, without doing a single exercise.

You set the starting point

When you do start, nothing is decided for you. We talk through your experience, what you're comfortable with and what you'd like to achieve, and we build from there.

You don't need to be ready. That's what we're here to help you with.
