Two personal trainers coach at Iron Institute on Hollands Road: Sean of Bear Pit Fitness and Grace of Grace Pierson Fitness. One-to-one sessions start at £30, and both offer a free first consultation. Book with the trainer directly, or message us and we'll put you in touch.
A qualified personal trainer and England Rugby coach. Sean coaches functional strength, mobility and conditioning for busy adults in their 30s to 60s, and every client follows a 6-week programme written for them.
Grace comes from a sporting background and works with everyone from people new to exercise to aspiring athletes, in one-to-one, shared and small-group sessions at the gym, plus online coaching.
Each trainer runs their own business and sets their own prices. The prices above were taken from the trainers' websites on 22 October 2026, so check with the trainer when you book.
Both trainers coach pairs. Sean offers 2:1 personal training at £45, and Grace's shared sessions are £25 per person for 45 minutes or £35 for 60. Grace also runs small-group sessions at the gym for up to 6 people, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8am, 11:30am, 6pm and 8pm, from £15 per person, subject to availability.
