Who we are
girlsup4fit caters for women of all ages and all lifestyles providing fun, energising and varied outdoor workouts! No more one size fits all. Workouts are tailored to help address female specific areas whether it’s that spare tyre, thunder thighs, bingo wings or just that everything seems to be sinking south!
We will assist you in achieving your goals. It could be a 5km fun run or marathon race, an elegant wedding, an exotic holiday or simply to slip back into those slim legged jeans or little black dress!

Why we like outdoor workouts
We all know the scene; your local gym is bursting at the seams, the queue for your favourite aerobic machine is a mile long, it’s stuffy, sweaty and you’re confined to a small corner of the gym floor with a few measly dumbbells……………
Outdoor workouts provide a challenging yet invigorating environment. Every session will be different and fun:
- Diverse and innovative – dips on a park bench, step-ups on rocks, ball games, interval and hill runs. Outdoor workouts are more stimulating and challenging, developing not just general fitness but also posture and balance. Try new workouts that you won’t find or be able to do in a gym environment.
- Creative – exercising outdoors gives you the energy to challenge not just your body but also stimulate your mind.
- Invigorating – enjoy the sense of freedom with no limits on space or exertion levels.
- Refreshing – revel in the fresh air and lap up the natural sunlight. Hot or cold, rain or shine, every session will provide a fresh workout.
- Motivational – positive and motivational sessions. Regular fitness testing with simple to understand and meaningful results!
