Fit20

After years of running my own personal training business, I realised it was limited by my time and capacity. The business was doing well, but growth relied heavily on having the right people in the right roles. It was clear we had hit a ceiling, and I began searching for a concept that could scale more effectively and help more people improve their health.

That’s when I discovered fit20. Initially, I was sceptical – how could just 20 minutes a week really make a difference? But after visiting a studio, seeing the concept in action, and experiencing the professionalism of the brand, I was convinced. fit20’s focus on scientifically-backed strength training, combined with its accessibility for people of all fitness levels, was something I knew could make a real impact.

I currently run two thriving studios, with plans for future expansion. The support from the fit20 UK team has been fantastic, from the initial setup to ongoing training and coaching. Knowing that the product and systems are already of the highest standard has allowed me to focus on building a business that changes lives. I’m proud to be part of a growing brand that’s making fitness accessible, effective, and enjoyable for so many people.

After 20 years in the health and fitness industry, I identified that while some gym members improved their health and fitness there were many that did not. This is disappointing, as those who did not get results are often the people who need it the most.

Fortunately, I heard about a new scientific approach to fitness – fit20. Being initially sceptical I went to the UK Head Office and asked to be trained in my suit (one of our USP’s is you do not need to shower or change) – I was ‘blown away’!
I researched the training and met members and it is the member’s stories and amazing results that convinced me to open my first fit20 studio in Exeter.

I now run two very successful studios in Exeter and Torquay and I am currently working on a 3^rd studio. It’s been great to see new franchise owners come on board in the UK. I have supported the head office team at many franchise events throughout the UK, as the best way to improve the health of more people is to get more studios in more locations in more countries.

As a dentist at Greenside Dental Care in Cleckheaton, I’ve always been passionate about health and well-being. My husband Loma, a semi-professional rugby player and certified sports massage therapist, shares that same passion. We’ve always dreamed of establishing a fitness studio that caters to those who feel uncomfortable in traditional gym settings. fit20 makes that dream a reality. The focus on low-impact, high-intensity training not only builds strength but also significantly improves overall health and well-being. It’s a concept that makes a real difference.

fit20 reflects the growing shift in mindset where people are prioritising health as a necessity rather than a luxury. For us, running a fit20 studio is more than a business – it’s a way to live our values and help others transform their lives. The support we’ve received from the fit20 franchise team has been incredible, giving us the confidence and tools to succeed every step of the way.

Being part of the fit20 family means so much to us. We’re not just running a studio – we’re part of a community of like-minded people, all committed to promoting health and wellness. It’s been an amazing journey, and we’re excited for the future and the impact we can make together.
