About Designer Fitness

Designer Fitness is a family-run business founded and managed by David and Simon, who personally oversee every project from concept to completion. With over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry, both are sports science graduates who have worked across a wide range of fitness environments.

Their extensive expertise—spanning gym management, personal training, strength & conditioning, and athletic performance coaching—enables them to design spaces that are both functional and inspiring. Driven by a shared passion for health and fitness, Designer Fitness was created to deliver contemporary, bespoke gym environments tailored to each client’s specific goals.

​

What Makes Designer Fitness Unique

1. Independent and Experience-Led

We are not sales-driven and not tied to any single manufacturer. David and Simon personally test equipment from major global brands as well as emerging manufacturers to select the best options for your needs. Every design focuses on functionality and practicality, not just filling space with expensive or unnecessary equipment.

2. Transparent Equipment Sourcing

Designer Fitness does not sell equipment directly. Instead, we source the most suitable kit for each project and pass trade discounts directly to our clients, often achieving savings of up to 40% off retail prices.

3. Clear, Fixed Pricing

We operate with a transparent pricing structure starting with a free initial consultation. After reviewing proposed costings and 3D design concepts, pricing is fixed based on the size and scope of your project.

Example:

• Double Garage / Outbuilding (36 sqm)

  • Designer Fitness Fee: £700.00

  • Equipment Cost: £12,000.00 – £16,000.00

  • Typical Savings: £2,000.00 – £4,000.00 off retail prices

This ensures our service provides exceptional value and complete peace of mind.

​

4. Unrivalled Industry Expertise

With over four decades of combined experience as personal trainers and strength & conditioning coaches, we bring deep industry insight to every project. We listen carefully to your vision and provide expert advice on equipment selection and layout to maximise performance and usability.

​

5. Complete Project Management

From design to installation, Designer Fitness manages every aspect of your project. Our integrated team—comprising a buildings manager, interior designer, and engineer—ensures a smooth and professional process from start to finish.

6. Ongoing Support and Training

For home clients, we offer a complimentary personal training session in your new gym to help you get familiar with your equipment. We also provide optional long-term support, including bespoke online training programmes tailored to your facility and fitness goals
