Private gym in the heart of Hove
Beginners welcome. No judgement
App supported workouts between sessions
Training in action
Coaching that happens beside you, not from across the room.
Sessions are hands on, calm and personal. I watch how you move, adjust the plan in real time and make sure every exercise feels clear before we progress it.
- Technique explained in plain English.
- Training adapted around confidence, injuries and starting point.
- Enough challenge to move forward without feeling thrown in at the deep end.
The approach
Coaching that fits your real life, not a 12 week template.
Every plan is shaped around your body, your goals, and the time you actually have. Strong, sustainable, and built one session at a time.
02
Personalised workouts in your pocket
Every programme is delivered through a private app so you can train solo with confidence between sessions, never guessing what to do next.
03
Nutrition you can actually keep up
No fad diets. Practical, evidence based nutrition coaching that fuels training, supports your goals and survives a Friday night out.
04
Support between sessions
Your plan does not stop when the session ends. You get structure, accountability and clear next steps so you know exactly what to focus on between appointments.
05
Mobility, stretching & recovery
Targeted stretching and mobility work to improve how you move, reduce niggles and keep you training comfortably for years, not weeks.
06
Beginner friendly. Judgement free
If you’ve never set foot in a gym, you’re in the right place. No burpees if you hate burpees. No running if running isn’t your thing. Promise.

Friendly, welcoming, and a little bit obsessed with helping people fall in love with how good their body can feel.

I have been training with Timmo for nine years and before that I'd never been to a gym. I was taken aback by a friend's stunning transformation and she recommended Timmo so I contacted him for a consultation.

FAQ
Common questions about training in Hove.
If yours isn’t answered here, drop a message and Timmo will reply personally.
Where is the gym in Hove?
The gym is on New Church Road in the heart of Hove, easy walking distance from Hove station, the seafront and most of central Brighton & Hove. Full address details are sent before your first session.
I’m a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Most new clients haven’t trained before, or haven’t for years. Sessions are private, paced to you, and there’s zero judgement. We’ll start with the basics and build from there.
What’s included in the monthly fee?
Your 1:1 personal training sessions, a personalised workout programme delivered through an app, nutrition guidance and support between sessions, all in one transparent monthly price.
Do I have to do burpees and running?
Only if you want to. If you hate burpees, we won’t do burpees. If running’s not your thing, we won’t run. Sessions are built around exercises that work and you can stick with.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients feel stronger and more energised within the first 3 to 4 weeks. Visible body changes typically follow at 8 to 12 weeks, depending on starting point and consistency. We track meaningful markers, not just the scales.
Do you offer single sessions or pay as you go?
Hove Personal Training works on monthly coaching packages, Silver, Gold and Platinum, because consistency is what actually creates change. The first consultation and trial session are free, so you can talk through the right level of support before making a decision.
Can I train between our sessions?
Yes, and you should. Your app gives you a personalised programme to follow on solo days, so you’re never guessing what to do next.
