Coach led personal training, Carlisle
Three purpose built training zones. A team of coaches who know your name, your numbers and your next goal. Training, nutrition and accountability in one membership.
Our standard
BC Fitness HQ is not a class timetable or a walk in gym. Every session is personal training, led by an expert coach who welcomes you in, coaches you through it and knows where you are heading next.
Training, nutrition, accountability and support from one team.
The facility is purpose built, so you book the session you need, when you need it.
Every membership starts at the training frequency it takes to change something.
Included with every membership, outside of coaching hours.
One building, three training zones
Zone 1
Barbells, racks and coached strength. Where body transformations are built, and where members go on to HYROX, athletics and competition.
Zone 2
Rowers, skis, bikes, runners and sleds. Structured conditioning with a result you can see week on week, not guessing and hoping.
Zone 3
Machine based strength in a calmer space. Home of PT Studio strength, Live Well 50+ and Vitality 65+.
Take the tour
Four minutes, every zone. See the Rig, the Engine Room, the PT Studio and the kit before you set foot in the building.
Who we work with
Whether it is a body transformation, or getting stronger and fitter than you have ever been, there is a place for you here.
Body transformation
For people who want a body transformation and to get stronger and fitter. Our body transformation is the photoshoot challenge.
See the photoshoot resultsAthletes
For athletes getting ready for competition. HYROX, ATHX, Hybrid Games, marathons, half marathons and ultras.
Our Threshold Tuesdays, Thursday Engines and Saturday Sends or HYROX specific sessions are designed to train every zone and make a complete athlete. Get run fit without actually running. Add your running programming to these and become a whole new athlete.

More on Live WellVitality 65+
As we age there are exercises and movements we need to work on, and some we should not. This is designed for that, at a slower pace.

Sarah trains on our Live Well 50+ programme. Press play and she will tell you where she started and what has changed since.
Vitality 65+
A strength programme designed for members aged 65 and over. The aim is simple: independence, longevity, strength, and feeling supported and valued every time you walk in.
The BC Fitness Method
Your coach maps your year across five phases. You complete one before you move to the next, so the result you earn is one you keep.
Learn the movements, set your nutrition and build the habit of turning up.
A focused phase with calories set for the job and training that protects your muscle.
Hold what you have earned and prove you can live there.
Calories come up for performance. Get stronger and add muscle.
Step back, restore and get ready to go again.
Then the loop starts again, one level up.
Education
Nobody can push flat out for twelve months. We plan your year in seasons, so you know when to focus and when to enjoy what you have built.
The last week of December is a Christmas maintenance block while the gym is closed.
Education
You are never off. You are always in gear.
Maintenance is not falling off. A car does not stall when it changes gear, it moves differently. The skill is knowing which gear you are in right now, and when to shift.
A regular touch point with your coaching team, so nothing drifts between sessions.
One to one and in person. Your wins, your next goals and your action plan for the next 12 weeks.
Calories and macros matched to the phase you are in, with protocols and support.
InBody scans track fat and muscle, so progress is measured and not guessed.

About BC Fitness HQ
Ben Crawshaw founded BC Fitness in 2019 and built HQ from an empty industrial unit into a purpose built coaching facility.
We have created more than a gym. BC Fitness HQ is a community of people with a common goal, to become the best version of themselves. We focus on confidence, resilience and belonging as much as fitness, because training should become part of who you are.
You will not find a one size fits all approach here. Everything is tailored to your goals and your challenges, and every milestone gets celebrated, big or small.
We train the next generation of coaches too. The Academy delivers Level 2 and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications on our own gym floor.
