Fk Fitness isn’t just a name or a company. It’s a feeling of community, teamwork, motivation, safety and togetherness.

I’m Arlene and I established FK Fitness back in the Zumba days when I’d not long become a group fitness instructor. Many courses and qualifications later I now offer individual and small group personal training, classes and rehabilitation exercise therapy. 

Group fitness changed my life. Genuinely! I was an active dancing child, a typical teen and a cider drinking student so when I found myself in my 20s and overweight I decided enough was enough! Many walks, step classes and a ridiculous “diet” later, I lost 3 stone and felt great again.

Then a marriage, a child and life. Realising I was even more overweight than before, I started again. Slimming club, some exercise and again, silly diets. Only when I discovered my love of group fitness classes did the health and wellbeing penny finally drop and I trained to become an instructor back in 2009.

Many years, classes and friendships later we found ourselves in 2020 and the world went into lockdown. Life changed for everyone and gym bunnies across the land went into panic mode! Zoom and Facebook live saved the day and as soon as restrictions eased and outdoor fitness was allowed, I was delighted to welcome my clients back to socially distant in person training. As things progressed I received more and more requests to put on classes so #backyardbootcamp was born!

Rain or shine, sunrise or sunset and everything in between, we’re there working on not only healthy bodies but, most importantly in these unprecedented times, positive minds. The power of fitness endorphins and a supportive group of like-minded people on our mental wellbeing is priceless. Come join the FK Fitness team for more than just a workout!
