Somewhere, right now, a gym membership payment is leaving someone's bank account.

They haven't been since February.
They've forgotten the locker code.
They're not entirely sure where their membership card is.

But the direct debit?
Alive and well.

Now that's scary. 👻

Happy Halloween from fit20.

How does fit20 actually work? Let me show you. 👇

In this short video, I explain the approach behind fit20 and give you a look at what happens in the studio. If you’re curious about fitting strength training into just 20 minutes a week, this is a good place to start.

Losing too much muscle as we age can eventually affect things we barely think about.

Standing up from a chair.
Walking comfortably.
Opening a jar.
Carrying the shopping.

Age-related muscle loss can reduce strength and mobility and increase the risk of falls.

That's why maintaining strength isn't about becoming brilliant at exercise.

It's about keeping ordinary life ordinary for as long as possible.

You've done your fit20 session.

You've walked into town.

You've carried the shopping.

You've been on your feet all morning.

Your watch: perhaps you should move?

Thanks for your concern, tiny wrist dictator.

We'll take it from here.

Tried different types of exercise but never quite found something that sticks? You’re not alone.

In this video, one of our members explains why fit20 felt different. She wanted to build muscle, but needed something that fitted around a busy life. Twenty minutes a week felt achievable, and the welcoming studio made training feel less intimidating.

Finding a routine you feel comfortable with can make all the difference. If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, send us a message to find out more.

A lovely write-up from our friends at BNI City Wall after Duncan spoke to the group last week, including a bit of the story behind why fit20 matters so much to us. 💪
If you've been meaning to get stronger but gyms just aren't your thing, come and see us. It really is just 20 minutes a week.

For Duncan Attwood of , helping people become stronger and healthier is personal.

Duncan struggled with his own health as a child and originally wanted to become a doctor. But discovering an active lifestyle - in particular white water rafting 🛶 -changed his health and ultimately led him down a different path.

At our latest ** ** meeting, Duncan explained why Fit20 is very different from the traditional gym experience. In his words, it's **strength training for people who don’t like gyms**.

One supervised **20-minute strength-training session each week**, in a calm, quiet studio environment, suitable for different ages and fitness levels. Duncan compared it to **taking your body in for a regular service** - investing a small amount of time consistently to maintain strength for everyday life 💪.

There is also compelling research behind the Fit20 approach. A study using training data from nearly 15,000 Fit20 participants reported average strength improvements of around **30–50% during the first year**, across different ages, genders and starting fitness levels.

That makes fit20 particularly appealing to **busy people aged 45–65** who struggle to make time for conventional exercise, as well as older people who want to maintain strength as they age.

Duncan now operates studios across fit20 Exeter, fit20 Torquay and a new studio in .

A fascinating presentation - many thanks Duncan 👏

Spending large amounts of time sitting isn't as harmless as it feels.

Higher levels of sedentary behaviour are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and premature death.

For anyone whose working day happens mainly in a chair, it's a good reason to make movement part of life outside it.

You don't need to become a fitness fanatic.

But your body was definitely designed to do more than move between the office chair and the sofa.

Trainers.
Towel.
Shower gel.
Change of clothes.
Water bottle.
Padlock.
Headphones.
Spare socks for reasons nobody fully understands.

Or...
..just wear what you're already wearing.

No special kit and no post-workout shower means going to fit20 doesn't require packing as though you're spending a weekend in the Lake District.

Twenty minutes later, you're on with your day.

“Do I need to do any other exercise?”

It’s a question we often hear at fit20 Exeter. But exercise doesn’t have to mean choosing between strength training and the activities you enjoy.

Whether you love walking, cycling, swimming or playing sport, building strength can help support a more active life.

In this video, Duncan explores where fit20 fits into the picture.
