Bee Fitter

20/09/2026

So… you know who Mrs B is, but who is Mr B?

Well, every Queen Bee needs a Mr B, don't they?

This is Stuart — my husband, business partner and the other half of Bee Fitter.

Stuart has been into fitness for years and is a Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, with a background in cardio, strength & conditioning and functional fitness.

He loves a challenge, loves burpees and is a big fan of HYROX-style training — which is actually where the idea for Hive FX came from.

Our version.

He's definitely the one who likes making things a little harder.

"You can do one more."

Meanwhile I'm thinking…

"Really? Do they actually need to?"

We're quite different, but I think that's why we work well together.

I'm probably the one worrying about everything.

Stuart is usually the one saying:

"It'll be fine."

Together, we've created Bee Fitter because we wanted somewhere that's friendly, welcoming and a bit different from your usual gym.

No shouting.
No showing off.
No judgement.

Just getting fitter, getting stronger, having a laugh and hopefully enjoying yourself along the way.

So if you see me buzzing around the Hive, you'll probably find Mr B somewhere nearby.

And if he's telling you that you've got one more burpee in you…

You can blame him, not me!

Welcome to the Hive!

Meet Mrs B - The Queen Bee behind Bee Fitter

So, who actually is the person behind all this bee fitter madness, I'm Tracy, although you'll probably hear me called Mrs B or Queen Bee around the hive.

Bee Fitter started from something very personal to me; after my own experience with breast cancer and treatment, I discovered that getting back to exercise wasn't about changing how I looked. It was about getting stronger, rebuilding my confidence and feeling like myself again.

And that really changed the way I saw fitness.

I know that walking into a gym can be intimidating, you might feel unfit, nervous, unsure what you are doing or wondering whether you'll fit in with the crowd.

So I wanted to create something different:
No rows of machines
No mirrors everywhere
No shouting
No judgement
No pressure to look a certain way

Just a small friendly place where you can turn up as you are, have a bit of laugh, get moving and hopefully leave feeling a little better than when you arrived.

I'm a Level 3 Personal Training, Level 4 Nutritionist, Exercise Referral Instructor and Mental Health First Aider (amongst lots of other qualifications!) but most importantly I care about people.

I want Bee Fitter to be somewhere you can come whether you're already active, getting back into exercise, completely new to it or simply looking for somewhere that feels a bit more welcoming.

And yes I take fitness seriously.....
But I don't think we have to take ourselves too seriously :)

There'll be music, questionable dancing, plenty of encouragement, a few terrible jokes and probably the occasional reminder that getting off the sofa was an achievement in itself.

This isn't about becoming someone else, it's about becoming fitter, stronger and a more confident version of you!

So if you've been thinking about joining when we open but you are a little nervous, drop me a message, come along for a chat when we open and remember you don't have to be fit to join Bee Fitter.... you just have to be willing to start.

I would love to welcome you to the hive, to find out more drop me a message or email info@beefittercom

World Su***de Prevention Day

Today is about something that matters to us at Bee Fitter just as much as physical health — mental health.

We talk a lot about getting stronger, moving more and looking after our bodies, but sometimes the hardest battles are the ones nobody else can see.

The person laughing in class.
The person who always says they're fine.
The person who is always there for everyone else.
They might not actually be okay.

So today, check in with someone.
Send the text. Make the phone call. Sit beside them. Ask twice if you need to.

You don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes simply saying “I'm here, and I'm listening” can mean more than you realise.
And this is something we want to be part of Bee Fitter.

We want the Hive to be somewhere you can come as you are. Somewhere you don't have to be the fittest, strongest or most confident person in the room.
You can have a rubbish day.
You can have a great day.
You can be nervous.
You can be struggling.
You can just turn up and do what you can.

No judgement. No intimidation. No pretending you have it all together.

We will make sure that mental health support will be part of Bee Fitter, because we believe looking after people means looking after the whole person, not just how many reps they can do.

We're not here to fix anyone, and we're certainly not a replacement for professional help — but we can be a place where people feel welcome, listened to and part of something.

Every body. Every journey. One Hive.

And if you're struggling today, please tell someone. You don't have to carry it on your own.

You belong here.

Our Hive Recovery suite is starting to take shape; we'll be launching this alongside Bee Fitter, giving you a dedicated space to relax, recover and look after yourself after a great workout.

We are planning on including compression therapy, massage chairs and a few other exciting bits & pieces to help you recover, recharge and feel ready for your next session.

This is all part of our plan to make Bee Fitter more than just a place to exercise - somewhere you can move, recover and look after yourself, all under one roof.

There is still a lot of work for us to do on the upstairs room but we are getting there and we can't wait to show you what we have planned.

Hive recovery is coming soon.......what would you like to see as part of the recovery room?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas .... only joking but it is beginning to look a lot more real at Bee Fitter.

While it will be another 2-3 weeks before we hear our decision on planning permission, we are still hopeful of opening in a BER month so October / November / December - maybe I should have a competition on the opening month lol.

On a serious note, Bee Fitter is coming together, and things are taking shape are we are now looking at ordering some equipment for all our lovely members to use which makes it feel even more real.

There is still a lot to do behind the scenes, painting and cleaning to name a few lol, but rest assured the Hive is coming and we would love to see you all there.

As a bit of fun why not comment on what month you think we will be able to open and there may even be a prize for one lucky person :)

If you want to find out more about classes etc please send me a message or email [email protected]

Have you ever said but I am not fit and thought:
“I’m too unfit.”
“I haven’t exercised in years.”
“I can’t run.”
“I won’t be able to keep up.”
“I can’t do burpees…” (Well… neither can I. I hate burpees!)

And for the ladies of a certain age (of which I am one lol)…getting down on the floor and getting back up again is practically a workout on its own!

Especially when you have to work out how you're getting back up before you even go down!

But seriously, you don't have to be fit to come to Bee Fitter.

You don't have to run fast, lift heavy or do everything everyone else can do.

Everything can be adapted.
Need a rest? Take one.
Can't do something? We'll find a way.
Only manage a little? That's still a win.

And here's the thing…We're always looking at someone else thinking: “I wish I could do that.”

But there could be someone looking at you thinking exactly the same thing.

I don't think I'm the fittest person in the room either but I know I've come a long way from where I started.

So don't compare your beginning to someone else's journey, start where you are. We'll go from there.

That's what I want Bee Fitter to be about.
No judgement.
No shouting.
No “DROP AND GIVE ME 20!”

Just getting fitter, getting stronger, building confidence and having a bit of craic along the way.

And because looking after yourself isn't just about exercise…Hive Recovery will also be part of Bee Fitter — somewhere to slow down, recover and look after yourself but more on that coming soon!

So if you've been thinking… “I'm too unfit for Bee Fitter…”
Maybe you're exactly who we're looking for.

Want to know more? Drop me a message or email [email protected].

And yes…
I still hate burpees.

I’ve seen some content on socials recently of fitness instructors and “motivators” using derogatory comments and swearing as a way of motivating people. Personally, that would have the complete opposite effect on me!

So at Bee Fitter, you won’t hear instructors raising their voices, shouting at you like a Sgt Major, swearing, belittling people or making inappropriate comments.

I know some people like that kind of environment, and that’s absolutely fine — it’s just not what Bee Fitter is about.

I want everyone who walks through our doors to enjoy the environment, the company, the exercise and, most importantly, have fun with functional fitness.

And I know how hard it can be walking into a gym or fitness studio for the first time.

The first time I walked into one was as part of PARS for rehab after cancer treatment and, trust me, that was a BIG deal for me.

So I know what it feels like to walk through those doors and wonder if you belong there.

That’s why Bee Fitter isn’t about dropping dress sizes, bulking up or being the “best”.

It’s about feeling like you belong, having a go and doing your best.

And everyone’s best is going to look different.

And hey… that’s OK as some days you’ll smash it and some days you’ll take it a bit easier.

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

We’ll encourage you, support you, challenge you and hopefully have a good laugh along the way!

And because sometimes it’s not all about physical health, We will also have access to a Mental Health First Aider because sometimes we all need someone to listen, and I want us to look out for each other.

That’s the kind of fitness studio I want to create.

Functional fitness, good people, support, belonging and a lot of fun.

It might not be for everyone — and that’s OK.

But that’s what makes Bee Fitter, Bee Fitter!
