Fit Farm - Gym in Astley, United Kingdom

Derbyshire Fitfarms. Food was amazing! Nutritionally balanced and prepared by our talented chef, Stephen, who explained the benefits of each dish at every meal. Dave ran motivational exercise classes and workshops. Really supportive and encouraging. The right amount of recovery/downtime/social time/shower time between classes to reset. Lovely cottage accommodation. We had a really friendly group where everyone was so positive and just made the most of the opportunity. Great combination of nutrition, exercise and workshops. I will continue to implement the strategies and hope to come back again at some point as it's enjoyable and really welcoming. It's not often we put ourselves first and take dedicated time out for our health and wellbeing. Appreciated that. Nice walks to Chatsworth House to explore the area. Really happy with my results. Loss of 7.92 pounds over the week. Ultimately, if you are prepared to work hard, remain positive and just have a go, then you will certainly be content with your results. The experience has given me more energy, contentment and peace. Thank you Fitfarms!

I attended the Portugal Fitfarm in early November and had a brilliant week for kickstarting my fitness and weight loss plan. I lost weight and inches and met a great group of people. This was my second fit farm -the first was in England - and I thoroughly recommend them!

I spent a week at the Norfolk Fitfarms. It was exhausting, but I super-seeded my health goals by a long way. I have come home lighter, fitter and feeling so much stronger in only 5 days!!! It was not easy, but everything was planned out for success. Early starts with very small, low calorie, well balanced and timely meals by Stephen ( see pics below). Followed by gruelling fitness classes by Gosia and very details nutrient talks. I enjoyed the accommodation, other than the single beds in the shared rooms which were a bit too small ( my feet hung over the edge). Each house, has a great comfortable common area with comfy coaches, tele and log fire. Also, ample fridge space ( so took home lots of super healthy and wonderful local produce), The outing was wonderful, a lovely beach walk ( the rain even held off for us). I plan to go back and take my family there at some point, No swimming on site, but the little local private pool was a treat. Exceptional tuition from all of the instructors who joined us ( Pilates, dance and yoga). The Pilates and yoga teachers were really very skilled and offered very high standards of teaching, giving plenty of advise on modifying the exercises and checking in with everyone in their class to make sure we were doing the exercises properly. I felt in very safe and expert hands. The yoga was very restorative and so needed after a long hard day. Also, Jane was on hand for massages in the evening to revive those tired muscles. She was very good at pinpointing the pain and breaking down the aches and pains. I followed it with a sauna under the stars, which was a lovely soothing experience ( like a heated body wrap) with eye pads, music and light show. Great way to relax, recharge and get ready for much needed sleep , In summary, it was a chance to kick start my health. I never dreamed I could achieve as much as I did in such a short time, it truly inspired me. Thanks again Fitfarm team for bringing me, one step closer to my fitness goals. Following my stay, you have both re-enforced the things I have been doing well and you have taught me new skills. I feel I have re-evaluated my well-being journey and I am well prepared and ready to introduce new healthy changes into my daily routine.

I visited Fitfarms in Norfolk for 5 nights starting 11th March 2022. I had been to Fitfarms three times in the past and had always enjoyed myself, but one thing I have noticed is that the time spent there seems to get better every time. The choice of activities certainly pushed my ideas of what I could do, as I tried everything that was offered. I have some issues, as I have had two partial knee replacements, but I managed to do everything and not feel any pressure if I had problems, just help and support and perhaps alternate moves. The food has always been a worry, but this time the food had definitely improved and despite smaller portions and healthy food, I didn't feel hungry and enjoyed the meals. The one plus for me was that coffee was available, which on earlier courses it hadn't been. The staff were all lovely, helpful, and fun, so my thanks to them. In five days, I lost several centimetres, body fat and 5lbs in weight. I would so recommend visiting Fitfarms, it not only helps your body, but really gets your mind on track. I left there feeling a million dollars and really sad to be leaving the friends I had made. Thanks to everyone who was there.

I've just got back from my 7 night stay at Fitfarms Derbyshire and I feel so much more motivated, encouraged and supported. I'm grateful that the people and experience have given me the tools to get my health and fitness back on track for the long term and massively improve my relationship with food. I was in such a mess with food and had terrible body image problems before going that I almost chickened out of even going as I hated the thought of even wearing gym clothes, let alone exercising in front of other people. I'm so glad that I went! It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was lucky enough to meet and share the week with such a wonderful bunch of people. We had so many laughs and everyone was so supportive and encouraging. The instructors are absolutely fantastic. I cannot praise Gossia, Kim and Andrea highly enough. They seriously know their stuff!! Such a refreshing, inclusive, no-nonsense approach and it is obvious that the whole Fitfarms team genuinely care and want you to enjoy the experience. I was shocked to discover that I went from dreading it and being full of self-doubt that I would be able to do the classes, to enjoying every single one of them! The food is tasty, creative and beautifully presented and I learnt so much valuable information from Gossia's nutrition sessions. The whole package is holistic and they recognise that the biggest barrier to changing habits long term is usually our mindset. I can't recommend Jane's treatments highly enough. I had a lovely Indian head massage and targeted hot stones massage and they were both utter bliss. She made me feel so comfortable. Even going for a massage can be daunting when you don't feel good in your own skin. To Stephen, Jane, Gossia, Kim and Andrea- I can't thank you all enough for such an enjoyable and helpful week. I loved the people and I loved the beautiful Countryside location. Big belly rubs to the lovely team mascot Bella who trots along on all the gorgeous walks. If in doubt, I say "go for it". I wouldn't hesitate to go back and would actually really like to in the future. Trust me, no-one is more surprised than I am at this!
