The Difference

A gym you don't have to figure out alone.

Most people don't need another workout to copy. They need someone in the room showing them what to do, how to do it well, and how to keep making progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Physical Formula was built for exactly that. Through coaching-led small group personal training, we help people move better, get stronger and build confidence in a gym environment that feels focused, supportive and genuinely welcoming.

You do not need to arrive confident. That is what we help you build. Whether you have trained elsewhere in Leamington before or you are stepping into a coaching-led gym for the first time, you will be met where you are.

Why Group Training Works

The power of training together.

Group training is not a budget version of personal training. Done properly, it can make training feel more motivating and easier to stick with. It is the difference between trying to do it alone and having a room that helps you stay in the work.

A Note From The Floor

This isn't a chain. It's a floor we built because we were tired of watching people train without being coached, paying for sessions where nobody actually watched what they were doing.

Every member here gets coached every rep. We programme it, we adjust it in real time, we hold the standard. That's the whole formula. If that's the kind of training you want to be part of, come and find us on the floor.

I have just completed 6 weeks at Physical Formula and could not recommend it more. I’ve seen such a huge difference in my strength but also my overall wellbeing. Olivia and Martin have created a really welcoming, cohesive and structured small group training environment. They are amazing coaches who take the time to check in during sessions, and you never need to think about what you are doing as you are told. Looking forward to staying at PF and seeing where it takes me. I never thought I’d look forward to a 6am HYROX session, but I do.

The best decision I have made was joining this gym. What I thought might be something I join for a few months to kickstart getting back into the gym has ended up with me still being here 3 years later. Stronger, faster and doing things I never thought I would ever put myself forward for. All down to the expertise, support, motivation and welcoming gym environment Martin & Olivia have created. A community feel where we train (hard!), sweat and still look forward to coming back to the next session.

How to Feel Confident in the Gym, Starting From Zero

Where gym anxiety comes from, and the honest route past it, from coaches in Leamington Spa.

Read
Before You Walk In

Questions, answered.

Most people ask the same nine questions before they start. Here are the straight answers.

Small group personal training is coached gym training in a small cohort of four to seven people, led in person by a qualified coach. Every session is structured around the individuals in the room: their goals, their movement patterns, their level. At Physical Formula it is the format most members start with.
Three things. Every session is coached in person, not self-led. Sessions are programmed: you follow a structured strength and conditioning programme that progresses week by week. Cohorts are capped at seven so the coach can actually see everyone. Most commercial gyms in Leamington Spa run on a self-led model with optional classes. Physical Formula is the opposite: the coaching is the product.
No. The whole point of coached training is that we meet you where you are. We've coached members who hadn't trained in twenty years through to athletes prepping for HYROX. Walk in. We'll programme it.
Forty-five minutes, coached, programmed. You'll warm up, work through a strength piece, then a conditioning piece. Loading and intensity scaled to where you are that day. Coached every rep, never just supervised.
Three sessions a week is the sweet spot for most members, enough to make real progress without overcooking it. Two is the floor. Four if you're chasing something specific (HYROX, strength PB, post-injury return).
Yes. Physical Formula is an official HYROX Training Club, and HYROX coaching is one of our three training routes, backed by race-spec equipment on the floor. We programme HYROX blocks for athletes preparing for a race, and we coach the eight stations as part of the wider strength and conditioning programme.
Our model is coached small group training, never more than seven people, which gives you a coach's eyes on every rep without the one-to-one price tag. If you need fully bespoke programming, or you're returning from an injury that needs careful loading, drop us a message and we'll talk you through the right route.
Membership-style monthly pricing, less than personal training, more than a budget gym, because what you're getting sits between the two. Everyone starts with a free fifteen-minute discovery call, followed by the 6 Week Experience, a paid six-week block in which every session is coached. The details are on the Start page.
