Great initial meeting, it's clear there's loads of experience and expertise and it's really friendly. All the information is very clear and relevant. I've signed up and I'm looking forward to getting fitter with the help of the team here.

Di is amazing and so are her team - I have never liked ‘normal’ gyms and always avoided them - they are not for me as all my life I have been into team sports like tennis doubles, netball and now I’m also a golfer. However Di has definitely won me over with thus style of personal fitness in small groups - these sessions are tailor made to you and great fun and Di is teaching me the importance of strengthening work so that I can continue playing the sports I love. She is a great motivator! I never thought I would enjoy these sessions but I do immensely- and I’m very impressed

I went along with my fella to train in a small group and found it a really good workour. The instructor was helpful and motivating and found alternative exercises for me to do when I struggled. I would recommend fit friends to anyone, beginner or experienced.

1:1 sessions with Di and Fit Friends with Elrick are great, really motivational. Have gone from feeling completely unfit after having three children to looking forward to training sessions and seeing results I didnt know I could achieve.

Brilliant gym and trainer! Have been going to Di for personal training since May 17, have now taken up a 12 months fit friends contract. Loving the training, the flexibility and results I am seeing. I feel I am pushed to do the best I can and beyond! Love the advantage of a personal trainer with maximum of 4 people in any one session. Great idea Di!
