RECLAIM YOUR FITNESS & CONFIDENCE
At Elite we believe in a client centred approach meaning you, your wants and your needs come first.
At the heart of this approach is the Three C’s:
CLIENT
COACH
Worried about coaches who don’t understand you or what you need? Who might push you beyond your limits, leaving you sore for days – or even worse, injured? What you want is a team of coaches who truly listen and understand. Coaches who know how to meet you where you’re at, and are ready to support, guide, and direct you every step of the way.
COMMUNITY
No mirrors, no tops off, no gym bunnies. Train alongside people just like you, who are ready to take control of their health and fitness and get more living out of life. Even if you’re not a gym person, the combination of a supportive coaching team and a warm, welcoming environment means that you might even have some fun along the way.
WE'RE READY TO HELP YOU!
We’re so confident that you’ll love what we do, that if you’re not 100% satisfied within your first 28 days, we’ll give you a full refund - no questions asked.
WHAT MAKES TRAINING AT ELITE GYM DIFFERENT?
We understand that every person, and everybody is different. That’s why we work with you as an individual to ensure you get the direction and guidance you need, in a way that works for you, and fits seamlessly into your life. You are not simply joining a gym. You’re investing in yourself, your health and your own coaching journey.
What you can do in your 40s isn’t the same as in your 20s, but that doesn’t mean it should hold you back. We believe in taking a smarter, more sensible approach to health and fitness – one that leaves you stronger, fitter, and feeling better than ever. We’ll encourage and challenge you in a positive direction, without pushing you beyond your limits.
In our tailored small group sessions, you’ll receive the same expert attention, guidance, and results as one-on-one personal training – plus the added benefit of training alongside people just like you. Others on a similar journey, offering support and motivation, and having the craic along the way.
With over 36 years of combined coaching experience, we’ve worked with people from all stages and walks of life. Over the last decade, we’ve specialised in coaching men and women over the age of 40. Whatever challenges you’re facing, we’ve seen it before – and will meet you where you’re at and be with you every step of the way.
We’ve all been there. Quick fixes, fad diets and crazy intense workouts in the hope of seeing results. Low carb, low fat, keto, paleo, detox – you name it. While these may work in the short term, they often leave you burnt out or right back where you started. It’s time to break the cycle and take a more sustainable approach. We’ll help you get the results you want, but more importantly help you keep them.
At Elite, you’re not just a number. Our close-knit community and dedicated coaches are here to support you on your journey. We understand how hard it can be to prioritize your health and fitness, especially when life gets busy. Whether you’re a parent, a full-time professional, or running your own business, we’ll help you stay focused, overcome obstacles, and build the lasting habits you need for success.
REAL REVIEWS
Don’t just take our word for it! Swipe across to see how our clients feel.
Elite is an incredibly warm and welcoming gym, not at all intimidating and there’s always a great atmosphere. Each member is given their own specific program to meet their individual needs and goals. The coaches offer guidance, structure and encouragement at all times (they have much more faith in me than I do!). They’re very realistic about day-to-day life stresses and challenges, they don’t overcomplicate things and just focus on improving people’s quality of life. They’re also very patient and happily answer all of my silly and annoying questions!
I joined Elite about 4 years ago, I go 5 times a week without even thinking about it, it’s just part of my day now. Quite simply, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I also appreciate the very knowledgeable approach to designing a program to suit post-menopausal women, with lots of awareness for the different requirements and needs for this age group and individual circumstances.
All the coaches are consistently supportive, helpful, and amiable, contributing to the gym's warm and relaxed environment. Elite gym is a very friendly neighborhood and family setting, and a perfect fit for someone like me, and it's comforting to see 'normal people' at this gym. The absence of mirrors and the non-pressurized environment are particularly appreciated; everyone is exceptionally welcoming, supportive, and encouraging, and other clients are all doing their own program, so no comparisons with anyone else!
The program is managed through the TrueCoach app, and feedback and communication also followed up via the app, but of course also personally through the coaches in the gym.
Now, I find myself looking forward to my exercise sessions instead of dreading them.
The personalized attention from the coaches is also noteworthy. When travel required me to be abroad for a few weeks, Holly prepared a customised personal 'exercise from home' program for me, allowing me to maintain my routine without gym access.
I'm very impressed and motivated, and enjoying exercising for the first time in my life, and think I'm there for the long haul!
I can only recommend to any woman like me over 60 to give Elite a try, you'll find yourself in good hands and company!
Along with the coaches, there is the community at Elite, my fellow gym-goers have been very supportive and welcoming. It is a great group of people and for someone who is thousands of miles away from my family and friends they have really made me feel at home.
I have been going to Elite since June 2023 and it has been the most consistent stretch of working out I have had since I was in my 30s. In the year that I have been there I feel like I have substantially improved my level of fitness and have a good foundation for further gains. I will really miss Elite when I return to the Boston next month. There's nothing like it there, so I will have to work hard to find an alternative.

We’ve worked with total beginners who have never been in a gym, never played a sport, and don’t like exercise. People who used to be fit, but life got in the way and they’re ready to take their first step getting back into it. People getting back to training post injury, postpartum and post surgery. And top level athletes who have won European and World Championships. No matter where you’re starting from, we’ll meet you there and support you every step of the way.
Similar to how you don’t wait to get better before you see a doctor, dye your hair before you go to the hairdresser or clean your car before you get a valet, you do not need to be fit to get started with Elite.
We’re here to help you get fitter, stronger and feeling better regardless of your starting point.
The best training schedule is going to be the one that fits your life. We work with real people who have busy schedules, so we’ll always ask, ‘How many days can you train – realistically and consistently?’ and create a programme to help you make the most of that. Most of our members train 2-3 days per week and see great results.
Coaching is at the heart of what we do here at Elite. You’re not just joining a gym, you’re investing in yourself and your coaching journey while becoming part of a new community.
As such, you will never be on the gym floor without a coach, you won’t be left to your own devices and we do not expect you to know what you’re doing or have all the answers.
Remember: we’re here to help.
