FUNDAMENTALS
About Fundamentals · since 2017
A gym built around coaching.
Our mission is to make personal training achievable and affordable for a large group of people. We do that by combining one-to-one coaching with an open gym and group classes.
Why we exist
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. That combination makes good coaching affordable, and it lets us build a lasting relationship instead of a quick fix.

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, an open gym, group classes and physio, in three gyms.
What it's like here
Serious training. Plenty of laughing.
Personal first
Coached training is the standard here, not the exception. You'll notice many people train the same way and help each other.
No long contracts
We know our members, never work with long contracts and tailor everything to you.
Knowledge is shared
A professional gym where people train seriously, but also laugh, share what they know and feel at home.
The coaches
Specialists, matched to your goal.
One vision, different specialties. The match between you and your coach matters most, so tell us if you have a preference.
