At Real Good Fitness, we talk a lot about showing up, doing the work, and building strong, capable humans.

At Real Good Fitness, we don’t just throw together random workouts. Every drill, every class, and every term is designed around our Pyramid of Performance.

“Smug” isn’t usually a compliment. It makes you think of someone bragging, showing off, or looking down their nose. But at Real Good Fitness, we believe there’s one type of smugness that’s not only acceptable — it’s encouraged.

We’ve all had those days. The alarm goes off, the weather’s grim, and the idea of a workout feels about as appealing as cold porridge. But here’s the truth: the most important step in your fitness journey isn’t the perfect rep, the heaviest lift, or the fastest sprint—it’s simply showing up.

Every January, gyms fill up with fresh resolutions. Yet statistics show that around 80% of new members quit within a year.

We might be biased, but we believe the best training space doesn’t have four walls.

Five years ago, we set up a few kettle bells in a park, not entirely sure where things would go.

There’s a dangerous myth floating around gyms, parks, and Instagram captions everywhere, and it goes something like this:

“I’m drenched. Must’ve been a good workout.”

At Real Good Fitness, we love outdoor training. Fresh air, sunlight, and the freedom of space support not just your physical health, but also mental clarity, resilience, and connection.

At Real Good Fitness, we don’t believe in random workouts or generic fitness plans. We believe in training with intention.

At Real Good Fitness, we believe fitness should be more than just turning up and breaking a sweat. It should be measurable, purposeful, and personal.

One of the biggest fitness myths? That a workout is either too easy or too hard. In reality, any workout can be adapted to meet your level—and evolve with you as you grow stronger.

We’ve all seen it—or maybe even done it ourselves: that person smashing through 100 burpees, gasping for air, launching up and down like a human metronome. It's intense. But is it effective?

On Saturday 17th May we spent several hours getting sweaty at the Long Ashton Community Centre - but no, it wasn’t for our usual outdoor small group fitness sessions, this time we wielded shovels instead of kettlebells and spent the day giving the flower beds of our beloved centre a face lift. 

At Real Good Fitness, we’re all about purposeful training.
We coach small outdoor groups (maximum 8 people) so everyone gets individual attention while still enjoying the energy of a supportive community.

...And Why Maybe They Should Stop Missing Out

Let’s have a moment of honesty, lads.

Let’s get one thing straight: gyms are great—but they’re not the only way to get fit. At Real Good Fitness, we believe some of the best workouts don’t happen under fluorescent lights or on squeaky treadmills—they happen outdoors.

At Real Good Fitness, we champion the benefits of outdoor workouts—not just for the invigorating fresh air and scenic views but also for the profound physiological advantages they offer. Training amidst nature doesn't only feel good; it enhances your body's endurance and recovery capabilities.​
