Boot Camp
Our signature boot camp program combines high-energy workouts with community support to deliver measurable fitness results. Small group settings ensure proper form correction while maintaining social motivation. Participants benefit from scalable exercises that accommodate all fitness levels while building strength, endurance, and accountability through structured programming.
Semi-Private Training
This program merges individualised attention with group dynamics through 4-6 person sessions. Certified coaches create customised training plans while leveraging peer motivation to enhance results. Members receive technical feedback during workouts while maintaining access to self-directed gym facilities for supplementary training outside scheduled sessions.
Reformer Pilates
Led by physio-trained instructors, our Reformer Pilates sessions focus on core stability and controlled movements. Small class sizes allow for detailed posture analysis while equipment-based training improves flexibility and muscle balance. The program integrates rehabilitation principles with performance enhancement techniques for comprehensive physical development.
TFS Restore
This holistic recovery program combines movement therapy with emerging technologies to optimise physical regeneration. Current offerings include guided Pilates sessions while upcoming additions like infrared sauna and compression therapy will expand recovery options. The program addresses both athletic performance recovery and general wellness restoration needs.

The team at The Fit Shop have been amazing, they have been able to support all levels of fitness during lockdown, offering a great selection of live online classes, still allowing them to monitor ability, fitness and give feedback on technique to ensure a safe workout for everyone. A great crew.

I have been a member for over 7 years, which I feel is a great recommendation. There are members who have been longer than me. The owners Brad and Carley are amazing as well as the trainers. They all pride themselves on making everyone welcome and feeling part of this wonderful exercising family.

The Fit Shop is hands down the best gym I have ever been involved with. The people I have met there make my week better! They motivate and support and provide a safe non judgemental friendly environment to work out and push yourself. Offering awesome support with varied classes, technique, nutrition and helping you with what you want to change or improve on you feel guided and challenged to be a better version of yourself. Highly recommend.

I recently joined the tribe at The Fit shop in Cheltenham and have not looked back! This place is nothing short of amazing. The owners (Brad & Carley) know there stuff. They are supportive, inspiring, hilariously funny and prepared to work with you to achieve your individual goals. You want to be pushed, they will push you! You want to meet new friends - that's a given as there are some amazing members who are also ready to support you! You want nutrition advice, or help with setting out some goals - they will have your back! They have accommodated tenfold during these lockdowns to keep us

Such a professional gym brilliantly run by Brad, wife Carly and their amazing, caring staff. There is terrific atmosphere and a great vibe for all ages, shapes and sizes. I felt more than welcome from the moment i walked through the door. I couldnt recommend The Fit Shop highly enough.
