“I’m not really a gym person.”
Georgie was terrified on her first day. You don’t need to be fit or know the exercises: your coach plans every session and shows you each one.
Small group personal training · Scarborough
Training for busy adults who want to feel like themselves again.
A coached strength gym on Northway. You don’t need to know what you’re doing before you start, and we’ll never leave you guessing.
Is Barbelle for me?
Lots of our members never thought they’d join a gym.
Here’s what they told us before they started, and what they found. Tap a film to hear it from them.
“I never get any time for me.”
Sessions are 45 minutes, from 6am. Kate books the early ones, and sometimes she’s home before her kids are out of bed.
“I always end up quitting.”
Your coach checks in, and people notice when you’re not there. We’ve still got members who joined six, seven, eight and nine years ago.
“I want to get back in shape.”
No egos and no bravado. A plan, a coach, and mates who expect to see you.
“I want to stay strong as I get older.”
Fiona squats 25kg so she can lift her working dog over a fence. Strength for the life you’ve got.
“I’ve tried everything.”
Sam had. “If this doesn’t work, that’s it. I’m done.” Now she’s proud of her health.

What it’s like
Every session planned for you. Someone with you the whole way.
A big budget gym sells you access. Here, someone shows you how to do each exercise properly, knows your name and what you’re working on, and notices if you’re not there.
- Strength PT: small group personal training. 45 minutes, written by the coaches, adapted to you.
- Conditioning classes: Fit Conditioning, Metcon, Breathe, Move Mobility, Saturday Team Training and Barbelle Skills.
- Your own coach: every member has one, who checks in with you in the app and in person.
- One mirror: the focus is on strength and health, and on how you feel.
Strength. Community. Support.
Nine years ago we opened our doors in Scarborough with 10 to 15 clients. Today we’re a community of over 200 members.

Barbelle makes investing in my long-term health easy and enjoyable, without adding to my mental load - quite an achievement :) I've been at Barbelle for 10 months and I'm so glad I gave it a go. With young children and a busy job, I'm short on time and headspace, so being able to just turn up and…

What an amazing gym! The PT led sessions are a great way to keep me motivated and to get the support that I need for my workouts. When I’ve been to gyms before I’ve spent hours not really knowing what to do and unsure if I’m making progress. At Barbelle the coaches meticulously plan all the…

I joined Barbelle in November 2025 initially not knowing what to expect; I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have made. It is so much more than a typical gym - sessions are varied and tailored and each of the coaches are genuinely invested in you as a person. One of my main…

I've been a member of Barbelle since 2024, but towards the end of 2025 I made a commitment to attend much more regularly. Looking back, it's one of the best decisions I've made. The progress I've made since then has been incredible - I'm the strongest and fittest I've ever been and that's down to…

I joined Barbelle in April 2026 after doing the 6 week trial. I love the community and cameraderie as I feel part of a wellness family. I have been challenged to work out in a new way which is very fulfilling as I see the results. All the coaches are super supportive and push you to your best

Questions
Before you start.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. Most people start the 6 Week Programme feeling unfit, nervous or out of practice. Your coach plans every session, shows you every exercise and adapts it to you, so you start where you are.
What is small group personal training?
A coached strength session in a small group. Everyone follows a plan written by the coaches, and your coach adjusts each exercise to your level, your aches and any old injuries. You get a coach’s eye on your form for the whole 45 minutes.
How much does Barbelle cost?
We go through the 6 Week Programme’s price on your call, so you know exactly what you get. After that, memberships depend on how many sessions you want each month: see memberships. No sales tactics. No small print.
