The Workshop Fitness Studios

Based in Narborough, Norfolk, The Workshop Fitness Studios provide a range of fun, feel-good fitness classes and personal training.

Here at The Workshop our main aim is to provide fun, feel-good classes where regardless of your fitness levels or abilities you can enjoy a great workout.

Sam who runs the studio says “I wanted to create a place where anyone could come and feel safe, welcomed and relaxed. For some people starting a fitness journey can be quite scary. Here at The Workshop Fitness Studios we are a friendly bunch and whatever your abilities I would like to think you would be comfortable to try any of our classes and be happy knowing that you are being looked after and getting a fantastic workout.”

Bootcamp is a circuit based workout featuring cardio and resistance exercises. The class uses a wide range of equipment including sand bags, Bosu balls, hula-hoops and punch bags. Its a fun, not too serious, whole body workout. Like all classes, you can tailor this to your ability. Just starting out? Not to worry, just go slower and use lighter weights.

This is a class unlike anything else available. It is a routine based class that is crossed with aerobics and dance. The music is varied and so are the steps. You don’t need to be a dancer to do this class. Its just a fun and different way to workout.

Our Over 60’s version follows the same principles as the normal class except it is non-impact with a little less shimmying and shaking. The music is tailored to suit the age group.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a popular way to workout and normally short and to the point. Our class is longer than your standard half-hour class, but don’t panic, its not all HIIT. They are structured into a warm up, the HIIT workout, followed by core exercises and then we end with a stretch. In the classes we do at The Workshop, easier and harder options are always given so no need to be super fit to start with. Expect to be a little challenged though.

This is The Workshops own version of Body Pump. It’s a resistance based class to music. We use a mix of barbells, dumbbells and steps. This is the perfect class for getting fitter and also toning up. This class will be sure to get your muscles pumping and also increase your strength.

Wow classes are based around a legs, bums and tums style workout but with some added arm exercises. This class has slightly more weights versus cardio, however each week is different. What you will get is an all round workout that is ideal for beginners but also people who like a bit of a burn. Expect to use bands, dumbbells, steps, sliders and exercise balls.

Move, breathe, relax and feel better. This is what Sharon’s yoga classes are all about. As well as a deep stretch the class helps you relax and switch off. Sharon teaches a flow based yoga class suitable for all abilities.

Pilates is the latest addition to the timetable at The Workshop Fitness Studios. Sam’s Pilates classes are based around the original 34 mat work Pilates moves but with modern twists to bring them in line with current exercise guidelines. The classes work through the 6 principles of Pilates to strengthen the core, upper body and glutes while also focusing on breath work and flexibility.

J.A. All of Sam’s classes are great. Her commitment to ensuring everyone is enjoying the workout is evident. Her approach is gentle, positive encouragement and with different options available you can make the exercises as challenging as you want to. The classes are all friendly. I find coming here is perfect for me as I can mix up the classes during the week according to my work pattern – not many places offer that option! I’ve been coming to her classes for over 2 years now and it’s made a big difference to my general health, stamina and soul!! If you’re thinking of trying a class, then do it

H.S. I have been coming to a couple of Sam’s classes each week since June last year. The gym is not for me but I absolutely love coming here! Sam has different options for all abilities and all classes are very friendly. The classes keep me motivated, would highly recommend anyone giving them a go!!

J.B. Sam is amazing! During our class she always explains the exercises and differs them for the various abilities. My exercise group is friendly and I really enjoy going. Would highly recommend.

N.N. I’ve been coming here for 3 years now and still enjoy every class. I always feel like I’ve had a good workout and there are always options in classes to do beginner/advanced so its catered for everyone. Sam is brilliant and helps me reach my goals. I absolutely love this place.

G.T. Fab purpose built fitness studio in a lovely location with plenty of parking. PAYG so no membership fee to join. Have been going for a while now and can recommend ALL the classes. Every ability catered for by Sam who is lovely. The classes are all very friendly whether you go on your own or with friends. Male or female, young or old. The workouts never get boring and the best bit is they really work! My fitness level has increased and I have seen changes in my body from defined arms to more toned legs. Would not hesitate to recommend the Workshop Fitness Studios. Thanks so much Sam!
