Eley Fitness

Eley Fitness is a personal training and group fitness studio in Bakewell, specialising in bespoke fitness programs. The studio takes a supportive, and community-driven approach to health and wellness. The services include one-on-one personal training, small group fitness classes, and specialised programs designed to promote long-term health and strength.

With the help of the £4,379 Small Business Daptation Grant, the company was able to invest in state-of-the-art equipment that aligns with the specific needs of their members, including those in the 45-60 age group who often seek specialised guidance and equipment that prioritises functional strength, injury prevention, and overall well-being.

Additionally, the grant allowed them to introduce new training programs that cater to diverse fitness levels, including beginner-friendly options and advanced classes for dedicated fitness enthusiasts. By doing so, they have been able to attract a broader demographic, including clients who may not feel comfortable in a traditional gym environment. Overall, the grant helped them to achieve their vision of creating a fitness hub that not only supports physical health but also nurtures a sense of community, resulting in a significant increase in membership and a rise in positive feedback.

Ed Eley (Director) says:

This grant has been brilliant for our business. It’s allowed us to transform our fitness studio into a space that better meets the needs of our members while staying true to our values of community and personal connection. The upgrades we’ve made are already having a significant impact, and we’re excited to continue growing and supporting our local community.
