Who are fitMK ?

The History

fitMK began boot camp sessions in 2007 on a Thursday evening in Campbell Park by Chief Drill Instructor and personal trainer Simon Williams. It was initially a group that were going on holiday and wanted to lose some weight and feel a bit fitter. The results were fantastic and when they came back from holiday they asked if they could continue the training.

As the weeks and months went on, more people joined in and got the benefits of group training and as the number of people coming started to increase, Simon decided to add new sessions to help spread the numbers and give more people the opportunity to experience this form of fitness training.

Variety has always been a huge part of the success of fitMK so the company expanded by introducing other trainers with different skill sets and got an agreement with Whitecap leisure to start running the sessions from Willen Lake. As well as this new classes were introduced as well as Boot Camp and we have never looked back.

fitMK has now got over 20 classes running a week and boasts some of the best personal trainers that Milton Keynes has to offer.

What is fitMK?

fitMK is the ultimate outdoor fitness training company that will help you to kick start your new fitness regime, aid you in continuous consistent training or push you to achieve your goals.  It is diverse from indoor gym training and indoor fitness classes whereby you are continuously motivated not only by the fully qualified personal trainers and drill instructors but also by the other fitMK members. 

You will be amazed how much you can achieve and how much you can push yourself to another level that you’ve never been able to achieve by training on your own at the gym.  No matter which training session you decide to choose or whether you mix them up you will always feel that sense of achievement at the end of each session and when you are back home you will be really glad you trained.

Where can I find fitMK?

fitMK is exclusive to Willen Lake South, Milton Keynes.  Our meeting point for all Willen Lake sessions is at the fitMK Banner between the south lake car park and the L A fitness gym. 

We also hold sessions at Campbell Park and the meeting point for these sessions is outside the Cricket  Pavilion which is on Silbury Blvd at the end of Campbell park.

Both Campbell Park and Willen Lake are great venues for outdoor training.  At Campbell Park you have the beauty of Beacon hill which can be a great challenge to run up especially at the end of the session.  When you reach the top you feel a sense of great achievement along with great views of the park. 

Willen Lake is already one of the country’s leading adventure sports centres.  There is a real energy about the place and we thrive on that. The sunrises and sunsets at Willen Lake are something to admire even whist you are hard at work!  It makes training here  all worth while.
