About Physical Formula

Training that meets you where you are.

A coaching-led gym in Leamington Spa, built around structure, support and the kind of progress you can build year after year. From 2020, no shortcuts taken.

Our Story

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

Most people do not struggle because they are not trying hard enough. They struggle because they have never been properly coached, properly guided or given a plan they can actually stick to.

Physical Formula was built to change that.

We offer coaching-led small group personal training designed to help you move better, get stronger and feel more confident in the gym, without being left alone in a crowded room wondering what to do next. Every session has purpose, every movement is coached and every member is supported in a way that makes training feel clear, not chaotic.

The Journey

From an idea to a gym.

Built carefully, year by year, around members who wanted a better way to train and kept showing up for it.

Physical Formula started as PT in the Park, training outdoors in 2020
2020
Year 01. Where It Started

PT In The Park.

Physical Formula started outdoors. A flag in the grass, a wagon of kit, members training in a Leamington park come rain, frost or shine. One clear principle from day one: train people the way they should be trained.

Year 02. Coming Indoors

The First Floor.

The first indoor space. The members who trained in the park followed us under a roof, and the small-group, coaching-led model started to take its proper shape.

Year 03. Growth

The Floor Develops.

More equipment, more structure, more training options. Strength racks, conditioning kit, a proper performance floor. The coaching standard stayed at the centre while everything around it grew.

Year 04. Community

More Than A Place To Train.

The community moves from "people who train here" to people who know each other, support each other and notice when someone is missing.

Year 05. Performance

More Goals, More Confidence.

Members take on new challenges. First strength goals, HYROX races, returning to training, building consistency, proving what is possible with the right support around them.

Year 06. Now

Built For The Long Term.

Six years on. Members lining up at HYROX events, hitting PBs they thought were beyond them, training consistently year after year. Coaching, community and long-term progress, still at the centre of everything.

The Manifesto

What we believe training should be.

01. Coaching

Training should never feel like guesswork. We coach every session because good support helps people train safely, confidently and consistently.

02. Community

A room of people working alongside you can change everything. It makes training feel less intimidating, more accountable and easier to keep coming back to.

03. Progress

We measure what matters: strength built, confidence improved, capacity developed and habits that last longer than a short burst of motivation.

Our philosophy.

Four principles run through every session, every programme and every conversation. They are not slogans. They are how the gym works.

Coaching Over Guesswork.

Every session is guided, structured and intentional. You should not have to figure out what to do, when to do it or how to do it well. That is our job. Your effort matters more when it is supported by proper coaching.

Consistency Over Quick Fixes.

We focus on what works long-term, not short-term trends. Real change comes from showing up week after week with a programme that adapts as you do. No crash plans. No all-or-nothing pressure. Just steady work.

Community Over Isolation.

You are not doing this alone, and that is what makes the difference. Training next to people who care, who encourage you and who understand the process helps you stay in the room long enough to see real change.

Progress Over Perfection.

We build results step by step, session by session. You do not need to be perfect to start. You just need the next rep, coached well, and the one after that.

The Community

Better,
together.

At Physical Formula, training is built around a supportive, like-minded community. You will be coached, encouraged and challenged in an environment that helps you feel confident enough to keep moving forward.

The Founders

Meet the founders.

Physical Formula was built by two coaches who wanted training to feel personal again. Martin and Olivia lead every part of the floor, from the programming to the people, and they are the reason members feel supported, stay consistent and recommend us.

The Questions

Frequently asked.

Everything most people want to know before they walk through the door.

No. Every programme is built around the person, not a fixed standard. Whether you've trained for years or you're starting from zero, we begin where you are and build from there.
A maximum of eight per session. That's the line we hold, small enough that every member gets coached on every lift, large enough that the room has energy.
Structured warm-up, primary strength work, accessory work, conditioning finisher. Coached throughout. Every session is part of a larger programme, nothing is random.
Almost always, yes. We adapt programming around what you can do safely and work with your physio or specialist where needed. Most members come to us because they've been told to start strength training.
Two to four sessions a week is the sweet spot for most members. Consistency matters more than volume, three good sessions every week beat six chaotic ones.
