The best way to understand fit20 is to experience it yourself. We offer a Free Introductory Training Session.

1. What is fit20? 
fit20 is an innovative full-body workout guided by a personal trainer in a private studio. The workout is 20 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time as the training is focused and intense. You will be given a regular appointment at the same time every week, which eliminates waiting, saves you time, and enhances your consistency and results. 

2. How does fit20 work? 
fit20 is a science-based unique training method. We train your muscles in a smart and safe way to their maximum potential. This type of training produces a very strong signal for your muscles and other body systems to improve; to step up their game. This is the essence of fit20: training your muscles not only to increase your strength and endurance, but also to improve your overall health. We have adult clients of all ages who are benefitting from fit20 training. 

3. Why does it only take 20 minutes? 
fit20 training is short but highly efficient. We use 6 specialised machines to train all your major muscle groups. It is a true full-body workout. Since your trainer guides you to reach your maximum effort in about 2 minutes, you complete the entire workout in just 20 minutes. Training longer with this method would not give you greater benefits.

4. Why only once a week? 
Because the training is intense, your body needs 5–7 days to fully recover and build strength. After your training is when your body starts turning your training effort into improvements. More frequent sessions aren’t necessary and could even be counterproductive. 

5. How is fit20 different from other fitness programmes? 
Above all, fit20 is personal training. You work directly with your trainer who coaches you through the fit20 optimised training program. You train by appointment, with no need to change clothes or shower. This saves time and eliminates hassle. You will not find mirrors, music or crowds at fit20. It is a distraction-free environment where you can focus entirely on your training. 

6. What does my fit20 trainer do? 
Your trainer ensures you have an optimal training experience every week. All you have to do is show up and give your best; your trainer takes care of the rest. They set the machines to your ideal settings and coach you to your maximum effort. This way you get the best results. They also record your performance and track your progress over time in our fit20 trainers’ app. Ultimately, your trainer is your partner in achieving your health and fitness goals. 

7. What kind of results can I expect? 
fit20 is a full-body workout. Well-trained muscles give the whole body a health boost. You will therefore become stronger, more resilient and fitter.

Most members report feeling significantly stronger and more energised within a few sessions. Over time, you may also notice:

  • Improved posture and balance
  • Fewer aches and pains, especially in the back and neck
  • Better endurance and stamina
  • Enhanced immunity and quicker recovery from illness or surgery
  • Improved sleep, reduced stress, and a more positive outlook
  • Increased confidence and mental clarity


fit20 has also been shown to improve metabolism, muscle tone, hormone balance, and even help manage chronic conditions. The results are not just physical, they benefit your whole quality of life.


8. Do I need to do other exercise too? 
Because fit20 is intensive, your body needs time to recover. Rest is a determining factor for your results. Non-intensive exercise such as daily walking, cycling, golf, yoga, or recreational sports can be a nice addition to your weekly fit20 training. 

9. Is fit20 right for me? 
fit20 is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. We have 18 year old members and 94 year old members. Some members enjoy exercise while others don’t, but they still want the health and wellness benefits in the most efficient way possible. fit20 is also ideal for people with health conditions like diabetes, MS and high blood pressure.

10. Is fit20 only available in the UK? 
fit20 began in the Netherlands and now operates in over 10 countries, including the UK. Studios exist in corporate settings, hospitals, and local communities around the world. Our mission is to add strength to the lives of people no matter where they live. 

11. Is fit20 expensive? 
fit20 is not to be compared to a gym subscription. It is a weekly personal training session, always under the guidance of your expert fit20 personal trainer. Considering the health benefits and the expert coaching, many members see it as a valuable investment in long-term wellness. Feeling stronger and more energetic is priceless.
