Absolutely. Many of our members walked through our doors having never stepped foot in a gym before. Every FORTIS class is coach-led and fully adaptable, regardless of your current fitness level, experience or confidence. Your coach will guide you through every movement, help you choose appropriate weights and scale exercises to suit you. You don't need to "get fit before you join". That's exactly what we're here for. If you'd prefer a gentler introduction, our FORTIS FOUNDATIONS course is the perfect place to start. Designed specifically for beginners, it teaches the fundamentals, builds confidence and helps you feel completely at home before joining our regular classes. If you're pregnant or recently postnatal, our specialist BUMPS & BABIES programme offers safe, supportive coaching alongside other mums. Alternatively, One-to-One Personal Training is a great option if you'd like some individual coaching before joining classes. However you choose to begin, we'll meet you exactly where you are. You belong at FORTIS.

Your first class at FORTIS is completely free. Simply follow the booking instructions here to create your account and reserve your space. We recommend arriving 5 - 10 minutes before your class so your coach can welcome you, show you around the barn and answer any questions. During the class, your coach will explain every movement, help you choose suitable weights and adapt anything that needs adjusting. You won't be left to figure things out on your own. After class, you'll have the opportunity to chat through the different membership and training options available and decide what feels like the best fit for you. We can't wait to welcome you to FORTIS.

We offer a varied timetable of coach-led classes designed to help you build strength, improve your fitness and enjoy your training. Whether you're lifting a barbell in GRAFT, pushing your limits in ENGINE, throwing combinations in BOX:CON, chasing a pump in BUILD or taking on one of our signature WOW workouts, every class is thoughtfully programmed, expertly coached and adaptable for all abilities. Not sure where to start? Check out our CLASS DESCRIPTIONS here or just ask. We'll happily recommend the classes best suited to your goals, experience and confidence.

We recommend bringing: A water bottle (we have a refill station) A small sweat towel for our more energetic classes Please arrive dressed ready to train. FORTIS is based in a beautifully converted barn on a working farm. We have two spacious toilets but no dedicated changing rooms or shower facilities, so most members simply arrive in their training kit.
