You don't have to be a 'gym person'

A 30-day coached personal training experience in our private Carlisle facility.

Coached through every session — never left to work it out alone
A private facility, not a busy commercial gym floor
Most people here started exactly where you are

Does any of this sound familiar?

01You've driven past a gym and thought, 'that's not for people like me.'
02You've joined somewhere before, felt lost on the gym floor, and quietly stopped going.
03You don't know what half the equipment does — and you'd rather not have to ask.
04You'd genuinely rather be shown what to do than left with a keycard and good luck.

None of that means fitness isn't for you. It means nobody has ever properly taught you.

How it works

What happens after you send your details

Step 01

A friendly phone call

A relaxed chat to find out more about your health and fitness, what you'd like to achieve, and whether we'd be a good fit to work with each other.

Step 02

Come and see the place

An in-person visit to the PT facility. You'll meet a member of the team and watch a session in action. If it matches what you're after, we book you in for your movement onboarding.

Step 03

Your movement onboarding session

A session designed to establish your starting point and how your body moves. Nobody moves the same way, so this gives us a clear picture of what you actually need to get results.

Step 04

Book in your weekly sessions

Use our booking app to book into any of the hourly sessions — Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm, and Saturday 8am to 12pm.

What people say once they walk in

As a middle-aged woman I'd avoided gyms because I had no idea what I was doing. BMPT is so different — I absolutely love it.

KS
Kathryn S.
★★★★★

I signed up when I turned 60 with knee and back pain. After a few sessions the aches were gone and everything felt stronger.

GB
Graham B.
★★★★★

My aches and pains have gone and I'm so much more alert. I even look forward to going, which I'd have thought impossible before.

CP

★★★★★

It's the coaches that make the difference. They motivate you, correct your form and genuinely care about your progress.

★★★★★

The trainers are so friendly and encouraging. Eight months in I'm stronger and fitter than I've ever been.

You don't have to be a 'gym person' to get strong again

A 30-day coached personal training experience in our private Carlisle facility.

You are not the exception

Almost everyone here felt the same on day one

The hardest part of what we do has nothing to do with weights. It's the walk from the car park to the front door — and we know it, because we've watched hundreds of people make that walk.

So we built the opposite of an intimidating gym: a private space, small numbers, a coach beside you telling you exactly what to do and how to do it. You never have to look like you know what you're doing.

As a middle-aged woman I'd avoided gyms because I had no idea what I was doing. BMPT is so different — I absolutely love it.

The 30-Day PT Experience

Exactly what happens after you send your details

Four straightforward steps, so you know exactly what you’re saying yes to before you commit to anything.

Step 01

A friendly phone call

A relaxed chat to find out more about your health and fitness, what you'd like to achieve, and whether we'd be a good fit to work with each other.

Step 02

Come and see the place

An in-person visit to the PT facility. You'll meet a member of the team and watch a session in action. If it matches what you're after, we book you in for your movement onboarding.

Step 03

Your movement onboarding session

A session designed to establish your starting point and how your body moves. Nobody moves the same way, so this gives us a clear picture of what you actually need to get results.

Step 04

Book in your weekly sessions

Use our booking app to book into any of the hourly sessions — Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm, and Saturday 8am to 12pm.

What’s included

Thirty days of proper coaching — not a gym pass

2–3 coached PT sessions every week
Proper personal training with a coach beside you — not a programme emailed over and left to you.
Unlimited large-group PT sessions
Train as often as you like alongside a friendly group of members mostly in the same age bracket as you.
A movement onboarding session
A simple session to help us understand and establish your starting point before you begin training properly.
A private facility, not a gym floor
Our own dedicated space in Carlisle. Small numbers, familiar faces, nobody watching you learn.
Support between sessions
Someone who knows your name, notices when you're missing, and helps you keep going when life gets busy.

You'll be able to see it's working

Your movement onboarding session establishes where you’re starting from — so the change you feel over the next thirty days is something we can actually show you.

Strength
Standing up from a chair, carrying the shopping, managing the stairs — strength is what keeps ordinary things easy, and it protects your joints, bones and independence while it does it.
Fitness & energy
How much you've got left at the end of the day. Better conditioning means walks, gardening and full days out stop costing you the following morning.
Balance & how you move
How steady you are on your feet and how freely your joints move — the difference between a stumble and a fall, and between reaching for something and thinking twice about it.

Hear it from someone who felt exactly like you

Real members, no scripts — including people who swore the gym wasn't for them.

The bit you’re worrying about

I'm really unfit. Am I too far gone to start?
No. We start from wherever you actually are — including from very little activity, aches, or years away from exercise. Every session is scaled to you, and we'd rather start you too easy than too hard.
Will I be the oldest or least fit person there?
Very unlikely. A large part of our membership is 50, 60 and 70-plus, and most of them arrived nervous. You'll be in good company.
What if I can't do the exercises?
Then we change them. A coach is with you the whole time — that's the point of coached training rather than a gym pass.
Am I signing up to a long contract?
No. The 30-Day PT Experience is a 30-day experience. At the end of it you decide what you'd like to do next, and 'nothing for now' is a perfectly acceptable answer.

The hardest part is sending your details

Do that, and we'll ring you for a friendly chat about where you're at. No pressure, no pitch, no obligation to book anything.
