Why Fundamentals
A strong base makes progress possible.
I started Fundamentals in 2017 with one belief: get the basics right and progress follows. How you move, how strong you are, what you eat, and whether training fits your week.
We coach you on that base. Then we hand you the key, so you can keep going on your own.
Why
Everyone deserves a strong base to build a healthy life on.
How
Personal coaching first, then the freedom to train on your own.
What
Personal training, a 24/7 open gym, small group classes and in-house physio.
Coached.
Or on your own.
Most members combine the two: one session a week with a coach, the rest in the open gym. Good coaching, at a price you can keep paying.
Personal training starts with onboarding. Choose Kickstart or Experience to meet your coach, assess your starting point and build a plan around your goal.
Personal training starts with Kickstart or Experience. Find the start that fits you, then decide what comes next.

Close to home. On purpose.
You won't find us on an industrial estate. Every Fundamentals sits in the middle of a city or a neighbourhood, because a gym is a place to meet people. Closer means easier, and easier means you keep showing up. More locations are on the way.
Enjoy life, and balance it out. Work, training and food that fit together.

Three one-hour sessions with a personal trainer. We start with an intake and a physical assessment, then build your training program and cover the basics of food. After the third session we look back together and you decide if and how you continue.
The open gym is for people who can train safely on their own. New to training? Start with a Kickstart. Your coach will tell you when you're ready for the key.
No. All packages and memberships can be cancelled monthly. The open gym has no sign-up fee.
Yes, and most members do. Train once a week with your coach and on your own in between. It keeps good coaching affordable.
You can choose one yourself or let us match you. We look at your goal, your schedule and your location.
