Our Story
Why Altytude Fitness exists
It started with a workout that worked. Everything else grew out of it.
Altytude Fitness is independent and coach-led. It is run by someone who trains here, alongside the people it was built for. If you want to talk to us, email hi@altytude.fitness.
And it will not all be training. Fridays end with a glass, once a month a DJ takes the floor and socials run through the year where you are welcome to bring your own bottle. The full picture is on What’s On.
I walked past the gym for years before I ever walked in
It was my son that finally got me through the door. He trained Muay Thai on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and while I waited I thought I may as well do something useful with the time. I was coming back from injury, so I kept it simple. Low impact, weights, nothing that would set me back. Just rebuilding.
The gym I found myself in ran a format built around treadmill and strength work. Structured enough to follow, hard enough to mean something and it worked in a way that general gym sessions never quite had for me.
What happened after that I did not expect.
The training changed me. Low impact became hybrid. I started turning up differently, pushing more, recovering better. My strength went to a level I had not seen in years and my fitness followed. Things I had quietly written off started coming back.
But it was not just the training. Training alongside people who are there for real reasons, not to be seen, just to put the work in, changes the way you show up. It fortified my attitude. Made me more consistent and harder to knock down. When the studio we trained in closed, I was not prepared to let that go.
That is why I am taking this on. Altytude Fitness is built around the same format that worked, tread and strength and we are adding functional strength work within the Strength zone because we believe that is where the next level is.
