Friday Night Doubles Takeover — what’s it all about? 🤝🔥

Tonight we kicked off our very first Doubles Takeover to close out the working week!

Once a month we’ll be running this special partner session — designed for fun, teamwork, and a seriously positive vibe in the studio.

You and your partner move through 10 exercise stations, completing each one before heading to the next. Work together, push each other, and enjoy the buzz of training as a team.

Massive shout-out to Caroline, Jolene, Jess, Bex and Dimitris — you put your all into it and absolutely smashed it! 💥

Can’t wait for the next one!

Meet Angela 👋
She’s been training with us for a while now and the difference she’s feeling in her day to day life is huge.

Less joint pain when she gets up in the morning.

More confidence.

And her words- “not a chance she’d keep it up without the friendly classes and set times to keep her on track”.

If you’re ready to feel the benefits too, come try a session with us. You’ll be so glad you did 🙌

The Ouch Potato Mission

Hi - I’m Steven. My journey as a personal trainer started with a passion for fitness, but not only that, I wanted to offer a fun and relaxing experience, free from the pressure of large gyms.

We are focused on inspiring people of all ages to have a healthy lifestyle. We want to create a space where people of all ages can have fun getting fit together, from mum and baby to family fitness. ultimately we would like to support people with their fitness goals throughout their entire life.

We understand that gyms and classes can be very intimidating which is why I’m trying to change that. Our whole ethos at Ouch Potato is built on friendliness, making people feel comfortable and empowering them to feel proud to be getting fit.

We're not like normal gyms so you won't find over filled classes and overly tight vests but what you will find is a discreet setting where you can build up your confidence and have a laugh.
