about
Phoenix Fitness opened in 2001 and has become a well-established fitness centre located in Chard, Somerset. The proprietor, Simon Lunn, has overseen the gym's development from the outset. In 2008 Phoenix Fitness moved to new larger premises, which are located at the bottom of Fore Street.
Phoenix Fitness is a purpose-built gymnasium comprising of two floors: The downstairs, hosting a spacious and bright fitness suite, and a personal training and class studio, and the first floor, which has a fully equipped free weights area. More user-friendly air resistance machines are also available in this area. In addition, Phoenix Fitness has extensive changing and showering facilities.
Here at Phoenix Fitness we cater for everyone, from absolute fitness beginners to regular gym users. Male and female fully qualified personal trainers are on the floor to help motivate and support members with their workouts.
As well as personal training, we also specialise in weight management and can give dietary advice of the highest quality on a one-to-one basis. If you have specific injury rehabilitation requirements, we are here to help you.

fitness Classes
Our class timetable changes each week. Members can view and book classes through the BookFit app.
​
Our weekly classes include:
​
The Hour of Power (HoP) - A whole body workout with low weight and high repetitions. Ideal for shaping, toning, fat loss and fitness improvement. Ideal for all fitness levels.
​
Spinning - Cardiovascular workout performed on stationary bikes.
​
Rebound - Think of a traditional aerobics class performed on mini trampolines (trampettes) and you've got Rebound. The most important part of this workout is that it's fun!
​
HiitStep - Not your traditional step workout. HiiT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This involves short bursts of hard work followed by rest all incorporating a step.
​
Circuits - In this class, you'll find various stations with a range of exercises. Each exercise is performed for a certain amount of time or repetitions and then followed by a short period of rest.
​
Tabata - Exercises are performed for 20 seconds with maximum effort followed by a 10 second rest. Exercises are own body weight or using a 2.5kg/5kg plate.
​
​
Bar-Belles - A female only weights class. Perfect for those new to weights, who want to learn the correct techniques, or those that are fully experienced wanting to train with like minded ladies.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
JASON & OLIVIA SWARBRICK
We have been members of Phoenix Fitness for over 10 years and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
In the last year, we have been regulars of the Hour of Power class and our fitness levels have never been higher - we love it!
It has helped with weight loss and gives us time away from our very busy and stressful lives.
NICKY OSBORNE
Since joining Phoenix Fitness, I feel much fitter in my body and mind.
The great support I have received in the last four years has helped me lose weight, drop two dress sizes and tone up.
The classes and personal training sessions keep me motivated, and if I'm unable to attend a class, I always feel disappointed. Thanks guys!
WALLY WESTACOTT
Since joining Phoenix Fitness, I have lost over two stone in weight and feel a vast improvement in my fitness and general well-being.
The flexibility in my joints has improved, particularly my right hip, which had been troubling me for some years.
Phoenix Fitness is a friendly place to work out and I would like to thank all the staff for their help and knowledgeable advice.
