Ben Naughton

Ben has been a personal trainer for over 5 years, coaching everyone from complete beginners to seasoned gym-goers around Harrogate. He founded Fiver Fitness to make sure price is never the reason someone doesn't get started.

"I want the gym and fitness to feel welcoming and accessible for everyone. Price — especially today — shouldn't be a blocker for anyone. That's why I created Fiver Fitness."

What we stand for

Accessible

Honest pricing, no contract — nothing that prices you out or locks you in.

Inclusive

Beginners, returners, total first-timers — welcome exactly as you are.

Encouraging

Properly coached, genuinely cheered on, never made to feel behind.

How a class runs

Strength

We start with strength work — usually one upper body and one lower body movement. Simple but progressive, so it fits whether you're brand new or years in.

Conditioning

Then it's onto conditioning. No crazy or complicated exercises — just simple, honest, hard work to get a sweat on, get fitter, and feel good.

Bonus

Last up, a few minutes just for you. Could be technique on the rowing machine, a bit of mindset, stretches you can use at home — things that are going to help you most.

Come and say hello

First class is exactly the same as every class — no pressure, no fuss.
