WHO THIS IS FOR

Who This Is For

Elevation Training Club is not for everyone. It is specifically built for:

  • Men and women aged 35 to 55 who want structured coaching, not a building to wander around
  • Busy people with full-time jobs and family commitments who need a programme that fits around real life
  • People who have tried commercial gyms, felt lost or let down, and want something genuinely different
  • Anyone who wants to lose weight, build strength, and feel physically capable again with the guidance of coaches who know what they are doing

If that sounds like you, you are in the right place.

THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE

Why Elevation Training Club is Different From Any Gym You Have Tried Before

We coach. We do not cheerleader.

Every session at Elevation is led by a qualified coach who understands your goals, corrects your movement, and builds your strength progressively. You are not left to figure it out. You are coached through every session.

Small groups. Real attention.

Our 12:1 coaching ratio means your coach knows who you are, where you started, and where you are going. You get the quality of personal training within the cost and energy of a small group.

Built for your stage of life.

We specialise in the over 35s. We understand the demands of a full-time job, a family, and a body that does not bounce back the way it used to. Our programmes are designed around your life, not the other way around.

Results that are documented.

John lost 20kg in 12 weeks. Becky lost 15kg in 8 weeks. Nigel has lost 12.5 stone since joining. These are real members from Portsmouth who came in with real problems and left with real results.

Desr Sean, I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to you, your gym, your coaches, and all the members who have supported me throughout my journey. I am truly committed to my success, and I recognise that I would not be where I am today without all of you. It has been an incredible journey—one that has challenged me, strengthened me, and helped me grow in ways I never imagined. Through injuries and difficult moments, the support and encouragement I’ve received from you and everyone at the gym has meant everything to me. You have all played a vital role in helping me push forward and stay focused. I say this wholeheartedly—if it wasn’t for you, your gym, your staff, and your members, I would not be here today. The experience of training with you has been nothing short of life-changing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Yours sincerely, Nigel

I took the leap and joined Elevation 6 week programme last year, approaching the big six oh I knew I needed to do something exercise wise! I’m not a gym bunny and fortunately Elevation isn’t just a gym, it’s a great club where you are welcomed by the team and members who support and encourage you all the way, it’s personal training, adaptations are made for any injuries or health issues, I happily joined as a member, going to sessions are a choice not a chore, the coaches encourage and advise, I have made changes to my diet (more protein! Less alcohol!) and I definitely have more energy and able to do a 6am session and feel great for a 12 hour shift after, something I never thought was possible! My strength has improved massively and my shape is changing, I have hip bones again and tiny biceps!!!! Highly recommend Elevation Training Club no matter age or ability.

Elevation Training Club is a close knit community of like minded people. Sean and his team are first class coaches with a wealth of experience between them. The club caters for everything from weight loss goals, recovery, to competition preparation. The programs are always fresh, interesting and as challenging as you make them. The coaches always have alternative exercises up their sleeves if there is something you’re unable to do for what ever reason. I thoroughly enjoy going, and highly recommend that you give them a try too.
