Abi came to us looking to rebuild a consistent training routine and improve her overall health and fitness. Since joining, she’s settled into a steady rhythm and now trains three times each week, even with a demanding job in the mix.

Her strength has come on quickly — especially in our lift sessions — and the effort she puts in shows. Yes, we’ve noticed physical changes, but what stands out most is how she now carries herself in the gym. She looks confident, composed, and genuinely comfortable in the space. That was a priority for her, and it’s something many people tell us they want before anything else.

It’s been an excellent start for Abi at BMPT, and we’re excited to see where she goes

If you’re someone with similar goals like Abi and you’re not seeing the results you want or feel like you’re in the wrong environment, we would love to help.

One of the greatest achievements as a personal trainer is witnessing clients gain the confidence to train independently, even while on holiday.

You might wonder why this is so significant.

Simply put, we have done our job exceptionally well.

What do most people struggle with when it comes to fitness?

- Understanding what to do in a gym
- Feeling confident training alone without support
- Staying motivated and comprehending the importance of strength training
- Maintaining accountability to stick to a routine

This photo was sent to us by members Simon and Diane, who have been training at BMPT for almost five years. During this time, they have achieved numerous results that far exceed their initial goals. They continue to return to BMPT because of the added benefits that come with training in a supportive environment.

Here are a few of those benefits:

- Personalised coaching and corrective advice from our training team, who adapt and challenge you throughout sessions.

- A sense of belonging and care; our training team knows your name, hobbies, and lifestyle factors—something you typically don’t receive in a traditional gym.

- Accountability and support from fellow BMPT members. Our approach to fitness is inclusive, which contrasts with the experience of training alone in a traditional gym.

If you have tried the traditional gym approach and found it hasn’t worked or stuck for you, it may be time to consider a different method. At BMPT, we offer expert coaching, a supportive environment, and a proven path to achieving results.

Many people struggle in gyms because of the lack of support. Usually, after an initial induction, members are left to manage on their own. Amanda is an example of someone who desired more guidance to boost her confidence in lifting weights, aiming to strengthen, tone, and enhance her mobility. After five years, she serves as a testament to our commitment to helping people in the Carlisle area improve their health and fitness.

Meet Mike.

In his 70s, he turns up at 10am, three times a week, without fail.

After suffering a stroke in the past, Mike made a decision: he wanted to add years to his life, not just days to his calendar.

His consistency, attitude, and determination are something special. Every session, he shows what strength training can really do — not just for muscles, but for health, independence, and confidence.

For people in their later years, lifting weights isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about keeping bones strong, protecting balance, improving heart health, and maintaining the freedom to do the things you love.

Mike is living proof that it’s never too late to start — and that showing up, week after week, can genuinely change the course of your health.

Well done Mike!

If you’re looking to build muscle, keep joints healthy and stay physically active then BMPT is a great place to help you achieve those results!

Why most fitness journeys fail...

No sense of belonging

No sense of community

No reason to keep coming back

For those who’d fit in at BMPT, these things are a game-changer.

Forget about spending endless hours on a treadmill or feeling like everyone is watching you in the mirrors. That kind of vibe can quickly make exercise feel negative. Instead, you want a place where you can enjoy working out without all that pressure.

On Saturday and Sunday, members exercised together and enjoyed each other's company. Something which a lot of them wouldn't have thought about doing if going to a commercial gym on their own.

If you're someone who is looking to improve your fitness, self-confidence and enjoy exercising in a safe, welcoming place where you're treated with care, then BMPT is the perfect place for you!

Trevor has been a member with us for 3 years; in that time, he has not only improved his overall strength and fitness, but also made sessions a non-negotiable in his weekly routine, prioritising his health and fitness.

His commitment to training, attention to detail, and willingness to push himself in every session have stood out. Even when life presents challenges, he still finds the time for his sessions and is a regular name in our Magic 12 club.

Why BMPT has worked for Trevor over the last 3 years?
✅ Support
✅ Community
✅ Structure

These key aspects have allowed Trevor to improve in his training, build strength and take those steps to becoming the best version of himself. He is a regular at our social events, showing that BMPT is more than just a gym to him. This shows in his sessions, Trevor is a positive person for other members and helps them to enjoy training too.

A massive well done, and keep up the great work 💪

If you're someone just like Trevor who wants to get stronger, enjoy exercise, build consistency and have support through exercise, BMPT is the place for you!

Graham decided to leave behind the traditional commercial gym approach. Instead, he opted for organised and structured support for his health and fitness. This change has allowed him to regain his fitness and strength, enabling him to return to rugby. Additionally, he has noticed an improvement in his rugby refereeing skills as a result of this new approach.

Every personal trainer or facility has a slightly different approach to how they help people with their health and fitness

Some focus on quick transformations.
Some chase numbers and progress photos.
Others just hand you a plan and send you on your way.

At BMPT, we do things differently.

Our mission is simple — we help people:
✅ Feel good about exercise (even if they’ve hated it before)
✅ Build confidence in a gym for the first time
✅ Stick to something for longer than a 6-week challenge
✅ And most importantly, feel younger, stronger, and add years to their life

Who we’re a great fit for:
✔️ Busy professionals or parents/grandparents who’ve lost their spark and want to feel like themselves again
✔️ People who value accountability, structure, and a supportive community
✔️ Anyone who wants results that last — not another short-term challenge

🚫 Who we’re probably not right for:
❌ Those looking for a “6-week shred” or crash diet
❌ People who want to train 7 days a week or do it all alone
❌ Anyone who isn’t ready to commit to small, consistent changes

Here's what truly matters...

What we can do — and what truly changes lives — is to coach and educate you to move well, train smart, and enjoy exercise so much that it becomes part of who you are.

When we do that, everything else follows:
Strength is gained
Confidence increases
Health improves
Energy returns

That’s why at BMPT, we focus on what’s within your control — building consistency, strength, and a positive relationship with exercise.
Because when you enjoy the process… the results always take care of themselves.

If you’re ready to train smarter, feel stronger, and finally make fitness fit your life and you feel you'll be a good fit for BMPT, we would love to help you.

💪 Over 5 Years of Progress for Sue!

What you see here is a lady performing a chin-up — an outstanding display of strength and confidence.

But what you don’t see is what Sue was like five years ago when she first stepped into BMPT.

Back then, Sue was full of self-doubt.

She feared even stepping foot inside a gym.

Her confidence was so low that she asked her daughter to come with her just to look around.

Those feelings could’ve easily held her back.

Like many others, she could have let anxiety, fear, and self-doubt dictate her future and stopped before she even began.

But Sue made a different choice.

She decided to trust the process — and trust us.

She showed up, one session at a time, and started building not just physical strength but mental resilience, too.

Fast forward five years, and the same woman who once doubted herself now walks into every session with quiet confidence

She’s fitter, stronger, and happier than ever.

At BMPT, our team help people like Sue take that first step, overcome the nerves, and discover what they’re truly capable of.

If you’re ready to start your own journey — no matter your age, fitness level, or fear — send us a message today.

Because five years from now, you could be the next success story we’re celebrating.

🏃‍♂️ BMPT Run Club! 🏃‍♀️

Autumn and winter nights are closing in — and there’s no better way to spend a Monday evening than getting together for a run!

The darker months can be tough, but being part of a group keeps you accountable, social, and moving forward rather than sitting in watching the evenings disappear.

Not a runner? No problem — our PT sessions are on at the same time!

If you’re a runner looking for a bit of structure (and a great group to keep you consistent), drop us a message for more info.
