The company
We believe that taking the time to improve both physical and mental health fosters a happier and healthier life.
The concept of Fit Friends was developed to combine physical and mental health, and we believe that being fit contributes greatly to health. However, people didn’t generally enjoy working out alone and often give up after a short time of trying to engage with the gym. Additionally, we also believe that friendships and social contact alleviate many low level mental health issues.
During the difficult financial crisis people looking for personal training may have found the cost of 1:1 PT restrictive, we developed a number of options to help lower the cost of good quality coaching from personal trainers.
Members of Fit Friends can choose from 32 small group classes with a maximum of 4 in each class, we offer strength, cardio, functional and specific older adult classes. All members also get access to half price counselling, as we feel mental health is as an important part of well-being as physical health.
