Opening soon · Derby
Get strong in Derby without guessing what to do next.
Motive Fitness is a small-group gym for people who want coaching, not a turnstile. Every session is written, taught and scaled to the person doing it.
Why this gym
Most people quit the gym because nobody tells them what to do.
You pay for the membership, walk in, copy something you half remember, and stop three weeks later because nothing is obviously working. That is a coaching problem, not a willpower problem.
Motive runs the opposite way round. Small groups, a coach on the floor for the whole session, and a plan that carries on from the week before. You turn up and train. We handle the thinking.
What we run
Four ways to train with us
These are the formats we are opening with. The full timetable is confirmed at launch.
Strength
Barbell and dumbbell work in small groups, coached rep by rep.
Conditioning
Short, hard intervals on bikes, rowers and sleds.
Mobility and Recovery
Slower sessions for hips, shoulders and backs that sit down all day.
One to One Coaching
Private sessions when you want the whole hour to be about you.

Get your place for opening week
We hold you a spot in the format that fits and tell you the moment doors open in Derby.
What changes
Six months from now, training is just something you do.
You know your numbers. You know which session is on tomorrow. Stairs, kids, kit bags and long days stop being the thing that decides how you feel.
That is the whole point of coaching in small groups: enough structure to progress, enough attention that nobody gets lost at the back.
Booking
Hold your place before we open
Please call to book. Online booking opens with the studio, so for now a coach takes your place over the phone and answers anything you want to ask first.
Prefer not to ring? Text the word PLACE to 07939 532107 and we will come back to you.
