Our group training blends the motivation of a supportive community with personalised coaching—offering an affordable, effective fitness experience tailored for busy adults 40+ balancing life’s demands.
Many gyms let people sign up, pay fees, and never truly commit. Members skip sessions, take long breaks, and quit before they’ve seen progress.
That’s not how we do things. We’re different.
At Instinct, we know commitment and consistency lead to transformation. Our membership structure is designed to keep busy adults 40+ accountable and on track to get the results they deserve.

Whether you want to get stronger, improve your fitness, or tone up, we’ll provide a clear blueprint to make it happen. Our approach includes nutritional coaching, accountability check-ins, and coach-led small group classes with exercises proven to work — no flashy trends, just results.
It’s hard work, but you’ll have fun and see real change.
If you want to build confidence, increase energy, lose 10–20 lbs, drop a dress size, and feel like the old you again — this is where your comeback starts.
Remember: Membership is limited to 50 spots. Once full, we only accept referrals to preserve quality and community spirit.

Highly recommend Instinct Boxing & Fitness.
I came from a place where I genuinely didn’t enjoy exercise — it felt like a chore and something I just couldn’t stay consistent with. But since joining in November 2023, that’s completely changed. I now attend 3–4 times a week, and it’s become something I actually look forward to.
What I’ve gained goes far beyond just physical fitness. Yes, I’ve grown stronger and improved my endurance, but what’s been even more powerful is the boost in my mental well-being. I feel more positive, more capable, and more in control.
The classes are varied, challenging, and never boring. The coaches create such a supportive, non-judgmental environment that you never feel out of place — no matter your age or ability. Their encouragement and belief in you are genuine, and that makes all the difference.
And it’s not just the coaches — the other members are incredible. There’s a real sense of community here. Everyone celebrates each other’s wins, picks each other up, and creates an atmosphere that makes you want to keep showing up.
The culture at Instinct is something really special. It’s not just a gym — it’s a place that empowers you to become the strongest version of yourself, inside and out.

Instinct Gym is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. Whether you’re jumping into a coach-led class or using the equipment on your own, it’s always a great experience. The workouts are fun, challenging, and push you in all the right ways.
What really sets Instinct apart is the atmosphere. The coaches are supportive, knowledgeable, and bring just the right amount of motivation and humour. The members are friendly, encouraging, and make every session feel like you're training with friends.
It’s more than just a gym — it’s a welcoming, inclusive community that lifts you up. The facility is top-notch, the classes are spot-on, and the energy is unbeatable.
If you’re looking for a place that helps you grow stronger, feel better, and actually enjoy the process — this is it. Don’t wait. Sign up, show up, and see what it’s all about!
I joined Instinct in December 2023, and since then, it’s become a huge part of my weekly routine I’ve seen real improvements in my strength, fitness, and confidence. More importantly, I feel better in myself, mentally and physically.

I absolutely love the whole format at Instinct Gym. I have always been keen on exercise but not in a gym and have wasted so much money with gym memberships over the years because I don’t just want to turn up and use the equipment - I need the motivation, commitment and team feel I get from classes.
Instinct is more class based and offers a huge mix of exercise and targets your body fitness with strength as a whole rather than just cardio or just strength.
My favourites are circuits and boxing & fitness, but you can mix this up with strength and conditioning or martial arts if you want!
I joined in December 2024 - and since I have been going, I feel fitter, stronger and have lost weight! Thank you guys - you’re doing a great job!
