🔹Our Bouldering Wall is Evolving 🔹
At the Hampshire Fitness Centre, our bouldering wall is becoming a spray wall – a dedicated training wall designed to be inclusive, creative and fun for everyone.
We believe no one climbs wrong.
Everyone climbs differently, and that’s exactly how it should be. From complete beginners to experienced climbers, there’s always something new to try on our ever-developing wall.
👨👩👧👦 Perfect for the whole family (ages 6+)
👟 Shoe hire available – book online or speak to reception
🤝 Great for work socials and team-building
😄 Climb with friends in a relaxed, supportive environment
It’s the perfect way to work out without it feeling like a workout… and no one leaves without a smile.
Come and climb your way.
Thanks to for these action shots!

✨The Hampshire Fitness Centre Team ✨
Coming to the end of the year and looking forward into a new one… we thought it would be nice to do a little introduction to who we are and what we do.
👋🏼 If you don’t know us….welcome and hello!
🫱🏻🫲🏼 We are a Husband & Wife partnership, John & Chrissy Ruffell. We have grown up in Overton & Whitchurch and have enjoyed helping our local community for the past 6 years!
💪🏼 We are both Personal Trainers, Fitness Instructors and specialise in different areas of health and fitness. From Strength and Conditioning to Pre and Postnatal Health.
💙 When we are away from clients or paperwork we dive head first into our sports, not only maintaining strength in the gym but into multi disciplines such as swimming, cycling and running!
Outside of the gym ….
John’s Favourite thing to do ➡️ Read his exercise Data & Cook delicious meals
Chrissy’s Favourite thing to do ➡️ Get lost in a good book or watch a TV series
Bottom line is we love doing what we do and sharing it with the local community… which is you! 🫶🏼
Thanks to for this great shot of us both!
