Fitness Farmyard

At Fitness Farmyard , you never quite know what your workout will include.

One minute it is a HIIT class, the next Peter is nipping off to help a cow calve… and the whole gym follows for a front row seat.

“You don’t get this at David Lloyd.”

For Peter Eccles, movement, farming and community all go hand in hand. It is real life, real work and real wellbeing, woven into the rhythm of the farm.
