Forest Fit Clubs

Fantastic experience: I am approaching 19 years at Forest Fit Club, gyms just don't cut it for me. Joe really mixes up the sessions and really cares about what he does, offering alternatives if you have an injury. I go to the 6.15am sessions, fantastic bunch of guys n girls, great camaraderie. Totally inclusive, try it you'll love it, open sessions available on 1st September 2025.

Fantastic experience: Exercising outside in nature, guided and supported by a friendly and warm trainer (Joe), who gives personalised adaptations to ensure you get the best workout - what's not to love!

Fantastic experience: This is a very inclusive and welcoming training group, Joe makes training fun and is able to get everyone training together no matter their ability and in a way that no one is left feeling left behind. I would not hesitate to encourage people to join Joe no matter what your fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Forest Fit Club for 3 years and have found it's the first time I've managed to consistently keep going to a fitness class. Joe keeps it interesting with a mix of strength and cardio workouts and it's great getting outside year round. Much nicer than any indoor gym!

Fantastic experience: I was a member of Forest fit club for just over a year and decided to leave as my goals for 2025 (swim more) just couldn't be achieved. I did some research and decided to join a fairly big franchised gym that had a swimming pool and to my surprise also included a outdoor style fitness class. As I loved the style of forest fit club with the added benefits of working outdoors, I decided to give this new class a go. In hindsight, I wish I had never bothered. Nothing comes even close to what Joe and Morgan provide. The energy and devotion that they have is so special and unique. Every session is personlised to your own personal needs and they listen and adapt the sessions to ensure that you get the most out of your session. If they could build a swimming pool or have a open lake, I'd be back in a heart beat.

Fantastic experience: I joined Forest Fit Clubs almost 3 years ago and I am so happy that I did! Not being one for indoor gyms and sweaty rooms, I love the fact that our workouts are outside in all weathers. I have grown in fitness and in confidence since attending and learnt so much about how to stay healthy. The trainers are really supportive and knowledgeable and our sessions are always good fun. All round, a great club with wonderful people.

Fantastic experience: Forest Fit Club has been my go-to outdoor fitness class for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Exercising amidst nature has brought a refreshing change to my routine, and the trainers are top-notch, always pushing us to challenge ourselves while ensuring proper form. Not only have I seen significant improvements in my fitness levels, but I've also enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow members who motivate and inspire each other. If you're looking for a dynamic workout experience that combines the great outdoors with expert guidance, Forest Fit Club is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Forest Fit for two and a half years and it’s amazing. Brilliant instructors in Joe & Morgan who make the sessions enjoyable and fun. It’s that’s not enough to top it off a great bunch of friendly people to train with all why enjoying the fresh air and beautiful New Forest. Anyone wanted to get fit in a relaxed atmosphere should take advantage of the free 2 week trial before signing up to long term Gym commitments.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Forest Fit for nearly two years now, Joe, Morgan and all the people that attend are fab!!! Each session is different, hard but achievable and you can make it as hard or easy as you like depending on your fitness or general mood on the day but everyone spurs each other on. What's not to like its having two personal trainers who will push you, make it fun, surrounded by people who make you laugh and its in fresh air!!! Better than the gym!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Forest Fit Club almost a year ago. I'd tried doing running, gym etc on my own many times before and never stuck to anything. I nearly backed out of my first session as I was convinced I wouldn't be able to do it and would never keep up. I'm so glad I stayed, and even though it was pouring with rain I loved it. Every session is different with a mix of strength and cardio so they are never boring. Joe and Morgan are fantastic at making sure everyone is working to their best, and although you are working as a group  everything is tailored to your individual capability and level. They are so supportive and genuinely proud of everyone's journey. The other members are a friendly and welcoming group, nobody is judging you no matter your fitness level. It's an added bonus to be able to exercise outside in scenic natural surroundings. I would definitely recommend anyone coming along, if I can do it so can you!

Fantastic experience: I love this club. Joe and Morgan are both so accepting and encouraging whilst making sure you make the most of the session. I started at the club nearly 5 years ago and due to different reasons i have not been the best at attending consistently but they have continued to support me and I ALWAYS feel better when I have done my 2 sessions a week. I actually enjoy it in the dark in the rain probably the most as really feel like I have worked hard. Thankyou for helping me give myself something by not giving up on me. I can highly recommend this club to anyone who is worried about acceptance when getting in to fitness as every is so nice and non judgmental. They adapt to our abilities whilst pushing us to do our best.

Fantastic experience: I have ben attending Forest Fit for nearly 5 years ! That is a miracle in itself . It is great fun , lots of different age groups and abilities from runners to walkers , the trainers are great at tailoring the sessions for everyone attending. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. What more can I say come and join us .

Fantastic experience: Wonderful sessions. Fun yet challenging. Tailored to meet individual needs and demands. Superb setting. Couldn't wish for a more enjoyable fitness session. Sue & Steve

Fantastic experience: Joe is really great.. pushes you out of your comfort zone but with no pressure. Nice group of guys all there to support and encourage each other

Fantastic experience: Joe is a brilliant trainer and he is especially good at tailoring each session to everyones ability. I much prefer to exercise outside, far better than an air-conditioned gym.

Fantastic experience: Five star coaching with five star coaches in beautiful surroundings. From total beginners to fit athletes, all are catered for and welcomed. The sessions are varied with each effort instinctively tailored to each individual by three very talented trainers. There are no posing lycra egos here, everyone is warm, friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I joined forest fit a few months ago, I turned up on my own and had a very warm welcome everyone was so friendly! I have loved every minute of it !!! Jo is brilliant always on the end of the phone to help with nutrition and anything else I’ve needed advice on !!! Can’t recommend it ENOUGH !!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Forest Fit Club - a great way to exercise and in the fresh air. Great classes and trainers who always push you that little bit more. Good banter too. FFC was also great throughout the lockdowns kept me going with their exercise videos 6 days a week. If anyone is looking for outdoor training classes then look no further

Fantastic experience: When you join a fitness club or a gym, the best you can hope for is that you become positively addicted to the process. However, I have found gyms to be a monotonous drag, in smelly poorly lit gyms, devoid of the ability to inspire me. So, when a friend suggested I try Forest Fit, I was mildly curious. I started with a generous no-obligation 14-day trial. By session number 2 I was hooked. I am now onto my third month. My weight is coming off. At the age of 51, I am building serious lean muscle definition without the bulk. My cardio fitness is through the roof. What I can run now is significantly longer and faster than 3 months ago. I sleep better. I am able to focus much longer and with a much greater intensity in my work than before I started at Forest Fit. Am I gushing? Yes, possibly, but I do so because the results warrant the praise. I think Forest Fit is a much more appealing alternative to a fitness regime than the traditional gym or personal trainer scenario. You get excellent value for money, considering you practically have a person trainer, for about £3 per session. You are outside, which is a perfect antidote to my inside life. You are exercising with a group of like-minded people, and friendships invariably blossom. There is nothing like working through a callisthenics program, interspersed with short bursts of run, together with 8 or more friends, as the rain gently pours down your face. That is the essence of an outdoor exercise experience, and that to me sums up what Forest Fit has brought to my life.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member of forest fit club for the last 2 years (since they started the Parley site) and it is the best and friendliest bunch of trainers and members ever. A hugely diverse range of ages and fitness levels and it works for us all. Hugely recommended !!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Forest Fit Club at Parley for 2 years now, and it is brilliant. I'm a regular with the early morning crew and Abbie, Joe and Beth are so welcoming and cater the experience to your fitness level. They also have alternatives up their sleeve when you're not feeling 100%, so you never miss out! Great bunch of people, and not a clique in site!

Fantastic experience: Forest Fit is actually an exercise class you can look forward to because it’s so much more than that. It’s fun, friendly and adaptable to your needs/abilities. The trainers are all so knowledgeable and motivating and it’s great to be part of such a mixed group. I was active before forest fit but I will never go back to the gym after exercising outside. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Forest Fit has helped me go from strength to strength. My confidence has improved along with my physical ability. Forest Fit have given me the motivation and tools to improve my fitness levels. The instructors are friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging! I couldn’t ask for more from a fitness club.

Fantastic experience: Early sessions works for me. Always leave feeling like I've done a good session! Its a winner!

Fantastic experience: This is were legends workout. The team have helped me encouraged metro get my fitness beyond what I though this hombre could get. It’s helped with my mental well-being as well. The people I train with are all super heroes. They have created a very friendly welcoming environment. I look forward to every session no matter the weather.

Fantastic experience: Joe Day is and has been such a great fitness instructor and I highly recommend Forest Fit Club for anyone looking to improve their fitness levels or manage fitness levels. Having never been one for sticking with Gym memberships, finding the FFC has been a life-changing experience for me as I have been consistent now for many years and am definitely fitter now in my 50's than I was when I turned 40!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Forest Fit club on and off across the last 10 years. There's a perfect mix of friendship, motivation and support. Joe is a fitness professional if ever there was one. The team had grown over the years and Beth and Abbie are awesome too! I hate the gym, and love the beautiful outdoors. I can't say I'm as regular in the winter months at 6.30am in the dark and cold, but there have been many mornings where the morning sunrise has made the squats, pushup and hill runs all worth it. My fitness has improved and maintained and my back problems from various horseriding accidents have healed with targeted core exercises.

Fantastic experience: What a great way to exercise. Outside running around in Somerley estate - no MTV, no gym heads posing in-font of mirrors. People are really friendly and Joe sets sessions individually to each person capabilities. Being outside and training is such a great way to begin or end the day.

Fantastic experience: Started a month ago Joe & the Ladies I train with at 6.15 am are very friendly and have made me feel really welcome. My journey had only just begun , but I wish I had started this years ago. It’s for all ages and levels of fitness. Come and join us you won’t be disappointed Best thing I have every done . Thank you Joe x

Fantastic experience: Great Club. Joe is excellent at keeping everyone going and giving people individual targets based on their fitness. Sessions are always varied, so it never gets dull.

Fantastic experience: Best way to get fit without question. Instructors are approachable yet professional, feels like a real community within the club. Highly recommend for all levels of fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Forest Fit Club for over 10 years, thoroughly enjoy it and it maintains a good level of fitness for me.

Fantastic experience: Love this group, everyone is so friendly and Jo adapts every session to each individuals needs, so everyone's workout is taylored to their fitness and ability. Plus you have the bonus of getting fit in the beautiful countryside

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this club! Really friendly and very helpful. Was made to feel welcome from day one. And they make fitness fun rather than a chore. Highly recommend this group.

Fantastic experience: Wasn't sure that i would see the benefit of Fit club, knowing that i currently play sport. My mum encouraged me and my fiancee. Joe was able to push us in the class while catering for other fitness levels in the group. Smart Training here, in the great outdoors. Keep it Up. We loved it!!

Fantastic experience: I joined fit club 10 months after giving birth to my baby. Joe adapted the exercises to my fitness levels and helped me get my body back in shape. I love training in the Forest with the fresh air, horses and nature.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this group . I joined a year ago and never thought I was a sporty person . The forest environment is such a unique experience in exercise and joe is so encouraging. Every session is different and you feel so fantastic afterwards . The atmosphere is really friendly and it feels a lovely way to socialise but also getting fitter at the same time . It has transformed the way I view fitness now.

Fantastic experience: FFC is brilliant! The group is friendly, non-threatening and supportive. Joe is a real master at tailoring the training for individuals within the group taking account of injuries and abilities. I'd thoroughly recommend it, especially for people who are nervous about joining an exercise group, you'll be made to feel welcome and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend using forest fit club whatever your fitness goals are. Whether it’s losing weight, getting toned or just generally being healthier, Forest fit club will help! It’s so much fun exercising in the great outdoors and the boot camps are full of variety- you never get bored. The memberships are really good value for money as well. It really is a no brainer!

Fantastic experience: This is a great way to excercise , love getting fit in the fresh air. always good fun and never boring like going to indoor gyms .I cant recommend this enough. Forest fit club really helped me get fit and loose weight. great fun too !!

Fantastic experience: A friendly fun way to get fit with the added benefit of topping up your vitamin D levels as it's all outside. Jo is a great trainer for all levels of personal fitness, if you are a beginner you feel as much a part of the team as you do as an improver or fit fiend. The sessions vary so there is never a dull moment and when tackling the more challenging bits there is always someone to encourage you. You find a good sense of achievement quickly and I always look forward to attending. I Thoroughly recommend it, much more fun than going to a gym.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Forest Fit Club. I started over 6 years ago and now the rest of my family have joined too. A lot of different sessions to choose from so you can always fit in around busy lifestyles. Joe and his team tailor the sessions to suit individuals so you are worked to your own ability. Somerley Park is a lovely place to get fit in so much nicer being outside than in an air conditioned gym. We are very lucky to have found Forest Fit.

Fantastic experience: Joining Forest Fit has been life changing for me. The group is very friendly and attended by every age and fitness level. I have never enjoyed group training and fitness activity before but Joe is brilliant at setting the right level of excercise for each individual and everybody is very encouraging and friendly. Before forest fit would have been my idea of 'hell' but a friend suggested I try going and reassured me that there were people there of all different sizes and fitness capablities. Slowly but surely I began to regularly go and then I started to feel amazing every time I trained and now I can see the difference too. Being outside in the forest is amazing and its beautiful to see the seasons change. I've even enjoyed the sessions in the rain! I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Fantastic experience: FFC is a great group, fun enthusiastic and for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Joe manages to keep everyone on their toes and judges how hard to push each individual. I have really benefited from attending, lost weight, fitness has improved and helped improve my cycling. I have recommended it to others and they are already seeing the benefits.

Fantastic experience: Forest Fit Club is the only fitness that I have enjoyed enough over the years to keep going with! It is the combination of the lovely outdoors, good group of people and Joe’s ability to work you as an individual in a group of varying abilities. It is a great way to exercise and keep fit in the outdoors in a fun way!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over six years and it never gets dull or repetitive. Over the years I have joined most indoor gyms in the area and always lose interest after a few months but never with FFC., there is something exhilarating in working out in all weathers. Joe has a handle on every members fitness level and adapts the exercise accordingly. The club has a great group of friendly people and I felt welcome and at ease from day one.

Fantastic experience: I joined Forest Fit Club last summer after years of working out indoors and I love it! even through the winter. The variety of classes, locations and exercises makes it a fun and a motivational way to keep in shape. I go to morning, evening and weekend sessions everyone is friendly and encouraging, nothing beats working out in the fresh air.

Fantastic experience: I nearly lost all hope of exercise, a close friend recommend Fit Club and I couldn't be happier with the training and look forward to seeing the results.
