About Hello Fit.

A friendly, award-winning gym in the heart of Lytham St Annes. We are about creating a more confident you through fitness, community and expert coaching.

Everything You Need

Built From a Genuine Love of Fitness.

Hello Fit was founded by Rich and Lise Mitchell in Lytham St Annes. What started as a vision for a different kind of gym: one built on community, expertise and genuine care for every member, has grown into one of the most respected independent gyms in the North West.

We are not a big chain. We do not have a revolving door of members who never see results. At Hello Fit, members are known by name. Our coaches invest in your progress because we genuinely love what we do and care about the people we work with.

From a single training space to a fully equipped warehouse gym with group training, personal training, nationally recognised fitness qualifications, Hello Fit has grown by putting members first every single time.

Everything You Need

One Gym. Every Goal.

Whether you want to lose weight, build strength, learn a skill or simply feel better Hello Fit has a path for you.

Community First

We create a community of individuals who work together and strive to see each other succeed. It is not a gym where you put your headphones in and ignore everyone. Members look out for each other here.

No Judgement

Everyone starts somewhere. Whether it is your first time in a gym or you have been training for years, you will be welcomed and supported. There are no intimidating atmospheres or dodgy looks at Hello Fit.

Real Results

We get results because we genuinely invest in every member. From your first visit to your hundredth, our coaches know your name, your goals and what you need to keep progressing.

Serious Equipment

Life Fitness machines, dumbbells up to 50kg, a powerlifting platform, boxing area and functional sled track. We invest constantly in the gym so members always have access to quality equipment.

Nutrition and Lifestyle

Fitness without nutrition is incomplete. Our coaches understand that health is a whole-life commitment and provide guidance that works alongside real life, not against it.

Expert Coaching

Every coach at Hello Fit is fully certified, currently practising and committed to ongoing development. You will never be taught by someone who has not earned the right to teach what they teach.

I’m 3 stone down and mentally and physically so much happier. No judgement, no intimidating posers corner. Class sizes are small so it always feels personal. Thank you Rich and the whole Hello Fit team.
