Eat Train Live ETL

You don’t need to get fit before you start.

Nobody who trains with us walked in knowing what they were doing on day one. Not one member.

Group training isn’t about keeping up with the fittest person in the room.

It’s about showing up. A coach walking you through every rep. People around you who are cheering — not judging.

Walk through the door once. We’ll take care of the rest.

Wait till you hear what they’re ACTUALLY thinking about…

If you’ve been avoiding the gym because you don’t know what you’d do when you got there — this is for you.

That’s not you being awkward. It’s the sensible response to a gym that hasn’t built anything for a first day.

We coach from session one. Someone knows your name. Someone tells you what to do.

30-day coaching trial. Coached from Day 1.

Comment TRIAL. Whatever’s stopping you — message us. We’ll work it out.

12 months ago she was terrified of walking into a gym.

“My perception of a gym was that it was full of people standing looking at themselves in mirrors and pumping weights. That’s just not me.”

Her daughter’s wedding was on the horizon. She’d tried everything on her own. Nothing was moving.

“It took me a lot to pluck the courage up to send that message.”

12 months later:

“Once I walked through those doors — I’ve never felt more at home.”
“I come 4 times a week. When I don’t come, I miss it.”
“I don’t weigh myself anymore.”
“I’m sleeping better. Eating cleaner. Still have treats. 100% better, stronger, healthier.”

12 months ago she’d have laughed at the idea of signing up to a fitness competition. Next month she’s on the start line at REVVED.

Her advice, in her exact words:

“Absolutely pluck the courage up and walk through those doors. You will not regret it.”

14 years.

That’s how long Fiona’s been with us at ETL.

She started as a 1-to-1 client after uni — mutual love of rugby was the first common ground, and it’s been good crack ever since. Through 1-to-1, group PT, classes, the gym — Fiona’s been part of the furniture.

Sadly she’s moving to Barrow, so she’s leaving us. Gutting.

She’s also the reason we do this the way we do it. It’s not about a flash-in-the-pan 6 weeks. It’s about building something you can still see yourself doing 14 years from now. A support network. Coaches who know you. Something that becomes part of your life — not just something you do.

Thank you Fiona, for all the time and the good crack.

Come back and see us any time. Or don’t — we’ll be proud of you either way.

It’s not your age slowing you down. 👀

It’s that no one’s ever shown you how to train for your body and your goals.

Here’s the truth we see every single week: our members in their 50s, 60s and even 70s are getting stronger, moving better and feeling more energised than they have in years. Not because they’re special — because they finally have coaching that’s built around them, not left to figure it out alone. 💪

Age was never the problem. The right guidance is the whole game.

The best core exercise you’ve probably never tried 👀 (and it’s brilliant after 50)
Meet the Pallof press hold. Forget endless sit-ups and crunches — they hurt your neck, hurt your back, and let’s be honest, nobody actually does them 😅
This is an anti-rotation exercise: you brace and stop the band pinging you back in. That’s how you build real core stability — the deep strength that gives you better balance, steadier footing and more strength for everyday life. Exactly what matters as we get past 50.
And if traditional ab work leaves you achy and uncomfortable? You’ll get far more out of this, with none of the strain. 💪
👉 If you’re 50 or over and feeling like you could use a bit of help getting stronger, we’ve just launched our Forever Strong programme. Comment STRONG below and I’ll send you the details 💚

Coach Michael on what actually makes ETL work:

“The atmosphere is just good crack. People catching up. People training and enjoying it — not that thing where nobody talks to each other.”

“Best part of the job is watching someone go from Day 1 to Day 100. From convinced the gym isn’t for them, to walking through the door without thinking, grabbing kit, asking for help.”

“To anyone thinking about it — just do it. The first step is the toughest one you’ll take. We’ve built everything around that.”
