You Don't Lack Motivation — You Lack Structure

If you've tried and failed at gyms and diets in the past, and you've landed here having tried many times before, you're probably still struggling with:

  • No structure or routine to your fitness
  • No guidance on the right types of exercise, and nutrition for your individual goals
  • Nowhere to go when life gets busy and your health falls down the list of priorities

Most people over 40 don't struggle because they don't care. They struggle because there's no clear plan to follow, gyms feel intimidating, and life gets busy.

That's not a you problem. That's a system problem. And that's exactly what we fix at Transformation Fit — a private personal trainer in Leicester.

What we are

This Isn't A Gym — It's Coached Personal Training

Let's be clear about what Transformation Fit actually is:

  • Not a gym membership
  • Not open-access
  • It's personal training — sessions are capped at 10 people and always coached
  • And yes, we have free secure parking on-site

You are never left in a corner to work it out on your own.

Two formats, one programme

Two Ways To Train (We'll Recommend Which Fits You)

Everything funnels into the 90 Day Transformation Program. Same structure, same coaching approach.

The only difference is how you train:

1-to-1 Personal Training

What it is

  • Private sessions, one-to-one with your coach
  • Full attention every session
  • Every rep, every set, adjusted for you

Works well for

  • People who want privacy
  • Nervous beginners
  • Anyone with injuries or ongoing niggles
Learn more about 1-to-1 Personal Training

Small Group Personal Training

What it is

  • You train in a small group (max 10, average 6)
  • Same session structure, coach adjusts for each person
  • Coached personal training in a group—not a class

Works well for

  • People who like training around others
  • Those who want accountability and community
  • Anyone who's graduated from 1-to-1 and wants a different vibe

The first 90 days

What Happens In 90 Days

This isn't about transforming into someone you're not. It's about getting back to feeling capable again.

In 90 days, most people notice:

  • You lose excess weight (and keep it off)

    Not through extreme diets. Through consistency and structure.

  • Health markers improve

    Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol—the numbers that matter.

  • Less aches and pains

    Movement becomes easier, not something you avoid.

  • You walk upstairs without getting out of breath

    Simple tasks stop feeling hard.

  • You tie your shoelaces without your back hurting

    Flexibility and strength come back.

  • You keep up with your kids or grandkids

    Energy comes back. You’re not exhausted by 3pm.

  • You feel confident instead of self-conscious

    You know what you’re doing. You stop second-guessing yourself.

  • You actually stick to it

    No more stopping and restarting every few months.

That's what structure does. It removes the guesswork so you can just show up and train.Book a free consultation

What People Say When They Start Unsure

Most members don't walk in confident. They start nervous, unsure, out of practice.

Here's what a few have said after sticking with it:

Michael (40s)

“I didn't realise how bad my health had got... until the numbers forced me to face it.”
Michael hadn't trained in years. Started with 1-to-1, now trains in small groups.

Gemma (40s) — Lost 7 Stone

“Exercise saved me — physically and mentally.”
Gemma joined feeling completely lost. Training became her anchor. Seven stone lighter, completely transformed.

Surendra (60s) — Reversed Type 2 Diabetes

“I'm only just getting started — bring it on.”
Surendra came in with Type 2 diabetes. Followed the plan. Blood sugar normalised. Doctor took him off medication.

Ranju (60s)

“This is my me time. One hour that's just for me.”
Ranju trains in small groups. Loves the routine, the structure, the hour where she focuses on herself.

David — Couldn't Tie His Shoelaces

“Since I joined Transformation Fit I've got more energy in myself, I'm happier and lost 8 kilos!”
Had osteoarthritis, couldn't bend down to tie his shoes. Started slow, built strength, regained his mobility.

Maria (70s)

“I've got a life back now that I'd lost through ill health!”
Overcame crippling sciatica and disability due to ill health. Can walk unaided now and has reduced her medication.

And from our Google reviews:

This really isn’t a gym, to call it ‘just a gym’ is really rather disingenuous. It’s a whole support system built around you. Fabulous people, tailored made packages to suit, flexibility and results go hand in hand. My ADHD has meant that sometimes ‘stuff’ can be difficult, TF (Josh in particular) has fully taken my ADHD into account and I have something that works. And if you want results, well I’m 90lbs down, at 60 that’s not to be sniffed at. Give TF a go, you won’t regret it.

I love the amazing team over at Transformation Fit. Last year they helped me lose 30kg and worked around my physical disabilities. They didn't push me over to the deep end of exercise, they understood my needs and catered to me every step along the way. This is how you do personal training, and I am really grateful for the kind support I received.

The group personal training sessions offer the perfect solution to inexperienced people who want to get fit, but are scared of the gym or aren't sure what they are doing. The gym offers structure and support for trainers of all levels as well as a friendly community spirit.

FAQs

Questions People Ask Before Booking

I’m 50+ and haven’t trained in years. Is this for me?

Yes. Many people join with little or no recent training. Everything is scaled to your starting point.

I have a dodgy knee / bad back / old injury. Can I still train?

Yes. We adjust exercises so you can train safely and make progress without aggravating existing issues.

I’ve failed at gyms before. Why would this be different?

Because you’re not left to figure it out alone. You’re coached every session. Structure removes the guesswork.

How much does personal training cost in Leicester?

Programmes start from £50 per week, depending on whether you choose 1-to-1 or small group personal training in Leicester and how often you train. We discuss exact pricing during the free consultation — no surprises, no hidden costs.

Do I need to commit to anything before the consultation?

No. The consultation is just a conversation. No pressure, no obligation.

Is this actually personal training or just fitness classes?

It’s personal training. If you choose small group, you train alongside others, but every person is coached individually. It’s not a class where everyone does the same workout regardless.

I'm nervous about training around other people.

Start with 1-to-1. Build confidence. Graduate to small groups when (if) you’re ready. Plenty of people start nervous and stay 1-to-1 long-term. Both work.

How quickly will I see results from personal training?

Most people notice early wins in energy and how they feel day-to-day within 2-3 weeks. Visible physical changes follow as consistency builds.

What happens after the 90 days?

Most people continue. The 90 days builds the foundation — strength, routine, confidence. After that, training becomes part of your life, not a temporary fix.
