Your Premier 24/7 Fitness Destination in Dorset
Founded in 2014 by Craig Bernhardt, B! Health & Fitness is a family-run business dedicated to transforming lives through accessible, community-focused fitness solutions. Our journey began in Lyme Regis in 2015, where we established a limited-membership gym to combine cutting-edge facilities with a welcoming atmosphere. Expanding to Honiton in 2018, we introduced innovative training zones and state-of-the-art studios, maintaining our commitment to exclusivity and personalized service. With over a decade of combined expertise, our CIMPSPA-registered team delivers tailored personal training, diverse group classes, and nutritional guidance, ensuring every member feels supported.We prioritize mental and physical wellbeing beyond workouts, evidenced by our 35,000+ charity contributions. Our 24/7 gyms feature hybrid training equipment, functional zones, and hybrid classes like Studio Cycle and CORE-X, catering to all fitness levels. By limiting class sizes and membership numbers, we guarantee individual attention while fostering a non-judgmental environment. Our 4 Week Challenge, with a 91% success rate, exemplifies our results-driven approach. As lifelong fitness advocates, we continually adapt to industry trends while upholding our core values of community, inclusivity, and holistic health.
