TFP started in the parks. 💛
For years, I worked for other companies running bootcamp-style sessions, and somewhere along the way I realised people weren’t just turning up for fitness — they were turning up for me and my sessions.
It wasn’t always busy. There were sessions with one person there, and some with nobody at all. Cold evenings, wet parks, cheap kettlebells and bands in the mud. Too many online morning sessions.
The winters kept coming, and the idea of better equipment, a little warmth and a space of my own started to feel possible.
After a few months in a rented space and a few more members joining, I started to believe I could really do this myself. Going from 1 session a week, to 5 and now 14.
I’m still a full-time secondary teacher, chasing my own fitness goals and bringing up my two amazing little boys, but I wanted to create something different.
A place with like-minded, quality people. A place where fitness worked for real life, without the crazy price tag.
Within one two-week half term, I transformed a space and launched TFP with just 11 members.
I had a number in my head I needed to reach to make it work, but it was never really about numbers. It was about people, effort and building something that mattered.
Two years later, plenty of people have come through the doors, more coaches have joined the team, and TFP has become a genuinely special place to train.
For our pack, it has become part of their identity. Somewhere to belong.
And now we’re about to grow again.
To level up. To improve. To begin the next phase — our next phase.
Building a training facility that brings more to your life than just fitness.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey.
And to those few people who were there at the beginning, slogging it out in the park with me and still here now — thank you.
A coach might not always express the gratitude in reverse, but this is exactly that.
You lot have changed my life.
You have all been on your own journey of change, growth and transformation.
Now it’s TFP’s turn.
It’s time for TFP to transform — for you.
