What our clients say
Real people – real results! With over 15 years of experience, helping hundreds of people to realise their goals, we have a few stories to tell! But it means more coming from the clients themselves, here’s what they have to say…
Meet Alex
“I felt seen, I felt heard… this home here became a home from home and a new tribe.”
Alex is a much-loved part of our FPT Community. She came to us looking to build strength, manage the challenges of menopause and feel better in herself. Through expert coaching, ongoing support and the friendships she’s made along the way, Alex has found a new sense of confidence, joy and belonging.
Watch Alex share her story and what being part of FPT means to her.
AMY
"After being one of the “sporty” people in school, I struggled to get the motivation to continue with my fitness. I gained over 4 stone in two years. I knew I needed a challenge to get my competitive spirit back in focus! FocusedPT really managed it, setting a challenge to lose 10kg (22lb). I have never felt better! I have now lost 23lbs (in just 14 weeks) in the lead up to Christmas and plan to continue into the new year. If you get the opportunity to work with these guys just do it, brilliant bunch of people!"
Grace
"After having 3 babies in 4 years, my body was not what it used to be and I wanted to take back control of how I felt. I felt heavy, awkward, and self conscious. Training at Focused PT has taken big strides back to how I was, not only before my most recent baby, but all the way back before I had any! I have never felt self conscious in the gym because the small group members are all so supportive and quick to comment when they see the positive affects the work is having on my body and fitness. I feel a part of the family there and love my workouts. I feel like me again - and have so much more energy to play with my little ones. You should be ready to put the work in… but with all the tools and accountability Focused PT give you, half the battle is already won!"
Lou
"Motivation has always been my biggest issue and the Focused PT trainers are great at pushing and supporting every client individually. I only joined 6 months ago but can already see and feel a significant difference in myself. Never did I think I'd enjoy going to the gym so much I'd happily arrange my social life around sessions!
A fantastic studio with a fun and supportive community feel. Would highly recommend Focused PT to anyone looking for that extra push, they're worth every penny."

You’ll train in groups of up to six people with expert coaches who get to know you, adapt exercises to your needs and help you progress. With structured training, individual support and a welcoming community, we’ll help you build strength, improve fitness and develop habits that last.
Focused PT is for everyone! If you have tried it all before or never stepped in a gym before – this is the place for you. We help people who want to improve their health and fitness with expert guidance and support, whatever their starting point. Whether you’re new to exercise, returning after a break or looking for a more structured approach than a traditional gym, we’ll help you find your feet, work towards your goals and build confidence along the way.
Not at all! You don’t need to get fit before joining us — that’s what we’re here to help you do. Our coaches will meet you where you are, adapt exercises to your current ability and help you build up gradually. You can start at your own pace, with the guidance and encouragement you need to feel comfortable and make progress.
First you will have a personal consultation with the member of the team who learn all about you, your goals and to see whether we are a good fit. You can then try us on for size with our 28-Day Launch Pad where you get unlimited, access all areas training plan to kickstart your journey before exploring our longer term programmes.
There’s no need to feel nervous – we’ll help you settle in. Your coach will explain the session, guide you through the exercises and make sure you understand what to do. You’ll be training alongside a small group of friendly members, with support available throughout. There’s no expectation to know everything or keep up with anyone else; the important thing is getting started.
Small group personal training combines the individual attention of personal training with the motivation of training alongside others. Sessions have up to six people, allowing our coaches to provide guidance, correct technique and adapt exercises to individual needs. You’ll follow a structured programme designed to help you get stronger and fitter, while working towards your own goals.
In a typical fitness class, everyone often follows the same workout with limited individual coaching. At Focused PT, you train in a small group with a coach who can get to know you, understand your goals and adapt exercises to suit your ability. You still benefit from the energy and encouragement of the group, but with a more personalised approach to your training.
Yes. Our coaches can adapt exercises to suit your current fitness, ability and goals, offering progressions or alternatives where appropriate. Whether you’re building confidence, working on mobility or gradually increasing your strength, we’ll help you train at a level that challenges you without expecting you to do more than you’re ready for. Please tell us about any injuries or relevant health concerns before you start.
The right training frequency depends on your goals, experience, schedule and recovery – we recommend 3 sessions per week. We’ll help you find a routine that fits your life and gives you the consistency you need to progress. Rather than trying to do everything at once, we focus on building a sustainable routine that you can maintain in the long term.
Your support goes beyond the gym floor. You’ll have a dedicated accountability coach to help you set goals, review your progress, stay on track between sessions and build healthier habits.
Everyone progresses at a different pace, depending on their starting point, goals and consistency. You may notice changes in your energy, confidence or how you feel during everyday activities before seeing more measurable changes in strength or fitness. Our focus is on helping you make steady, sustainable progress rather than chasing quick fixes.
Of course – fitness is for everyone! Building strength, maintaining mobility and improving fitness are valuable at every stage of life. Our coaches are experts in training all abilities and age groups, and can adapt exercises to your individual ability and goals, helping you develop strength, balance, stamina and confidence at a pace that suits you. Your age doesn’t have to be a barrier to getting started.
You’ll be coached by our friendly, knowledgeable team who are here to help you feel confident, build strength and make progress towards your goals. Our coaches get to know you as an individual, offering guidance, encouragement and adaptations to suit your needs. Get to know the team and find out more about their experience on our Meet the Team page.
