Work with the best

Sam Hanney
Sam has a mission to craft a fitness studio like no other.

Members love his big heart, disarming honesty, technical expertise and unwavering loyalty.
Helen Gribble
Helen is the experienced and extensively trained lead coach and personal trainer at U Fit Studio. She started her journey as a client on a weight loss journey that transformed her into someone she had only dreamt of being before. Bouncing from diet to diet for several years, not seeing results and not understanding how she could make a change, being a member of U Fit helped her transform not only her body but also her mindset. Her journey from client to personal trainer has given her an insight into how change feels and the passion to share that knowledge with others. Her drive is to help others see their own potential just as she found hers. Members love her high energy, honesty, loyalty and humour.
Luke Williams
Luke was raised in Leicestershire and after college studied Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Bath. His dissertation specialised in the accuracy of physical activity monitors. For a time he was strength and conditioning coach at premiership rugby club Northampton Saints until he became a trainer. Luke studies nutrition deeply and in his spare time he enjoys playing rugby and watching sports. Members love his warmth and openness, his easy manner and enthusiasm for helping people succeed.
Our coaching methodology
Our coaches are experts at building a powerful supportive relationship with you.
Change isn't just about information — it's a partnership with your personal trainer. The "coaching alliance" is your unique bond of trust.
Quality coaching from a personal trainer isn't about perfection or years of practice. It's about feeling heard and supported.
Struggling to turn knowledge into action? You need a human touch. At U Fit, a dedicated team is in your corner, making change not just easier but more likely.
In 3 simple steps we take you on a life-changing journey:
At U Fit nothing is generic – our members succeed because their journey is unique
Long lasting success in fitness is the outcome of more than one factor. Exercise is just part of the equation. Support from your personal trainers and a feeling of belonging is another part. Accountability and education is the final part of the equation. Each reinforces the other, and together they put lasting success within your reach. At U Fit we make sure you get all of these consistently.

Going the Extra Mile
Join us on a transformative journey. Coaching isn't just a service - it's your key to lasting change
Every one of our personal trainers is local to Leicester and brings energy and style to each session. Their individual expertise creates a unique experience, unlike any gym you’ve tried before.
Getting fit is an art as well as a science, which is why our Leicester-based personal trainers come with both accreditation and experience. Throughout your journey we will share detailed insight into nutrition, personal growth and technique.
We believe that effective training and great nutrition is crucial to the quality and well-being of our lives. However, daily demands and responsibilities can easily get in the way of achieving those goals.
Each U Fit personal trainer is here to keep you organised, focussed and accountable even when life gets in the way.

At U FIt Studio, everything is planned around your fitness, weight loss and health journey. The coach you will be accountable to will be assigned based on our assessment of your specific needs to help you get most smoothly to your goals. All of our coaches are trained and experienced personal trainers working cohesively as a team to help you get to your goals.
At U Fit Studio, we work more seamlessly than most gyms. Although one coach will set up your goals and assist you in achieving them, you will be trained by all the coaching team at the studio. This means you are not limited by your coach’s availability. And because we track your progress, each coach who trains you will know your current needs and goals.
Yes! Helping you stay on target is a crucial part of how your program will work. By touching base with you between your sessions, your coach will help you manage food, stress and other obstacles. As a team working together you will build up habits that get you to your goal. With all the personal trainers working together, you get the benefits of a whole team, amounting to more than 25 years experience guiding you to your goals.
For many of our members, training by themselves is an important part of their progression. Your coach creates and updates your program regularly. Once trained on your program you are then also able to come in by yourself to use it. The coaches are always around to assist you and we make it as easy as possible with our support and our technology.
The Front of House team will be a part of your journey from the very start. Booking your initial visits, registering your details, helping you feel at home, setting up your sessions, arranging your parking (if you choose that option), making your shakes and coffee and just generally taking care of you each visit.
Personal Wellness Sessions are not needed by every member, so they are extra to your membership. However, they are discounted to members, affordable and available if life should throw one too many curve balls your way. They can help if you’re stuck in an emotional or behavioural rut from which you can’t seem to shift. Or you just need to kickstart some aspect of your life and don’t know how.
