About Us

You Don’t Need to Be a Gym Person to Get Stronger, Healthier, and Happier

If you’ve ever felt like traditional gyms weren’t made for people like you, you’re not alone.
Many of our members once felt uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. They wanted to tone up, feel more energised, and take better care of their health, but never found the right environment or support.

The truth is, the problem isn’t you.
It’s the fitness industry’s one-size-fits-all approach that leaves real people behind.

That’s why we created True Personal Training.

A Personal Training Gym That Feels Different

At True Personal Training, we specialise in working with people who haven’t trained in years, who feel out of place in mainstream gyms, or who simply want expert support without the pressure.

Whether you’re starting again after a long break or looking to finally make a lasting change, we meet you where you are, with no judgement and full support.

With our Shared Personal Training model, you’ll receive:

  • A fully personalised plan designed around your goals, injuries, and lifestyle
  • Coaching in every session (no classes, no guesswork)
  • Unlimited PT access – book sessions flexibly, six days a week
  • Regular check-ins and accountability to keep you on track
  • Nutrition support included in every membership

It’s real fitness, done differently, so you can finally feel stronger, more confident, and in control of your health.

From Personal Struggle to a Mission That Matters

Our founder, Ed Rycroft, began his own health journey over a decade ago by losing a significant amount of weight. In the process, he discovered just how confusing and full of misinformation the fitness industry can be.

True Personal Training was born from his desire to create the kind of gym he and his mum would feel comfortable walking into – a place that’s friendly, professional, and focused on helping people improve their health for life.

That vision now lives on in our Wetherby and Guiseley gyms, delivered by a highly trained team who genuinely care about each person they work with.

What We Stand For

At True, we believe:

  • Everyone deserves expert, personalised coaching
  • Fitness should feel accessible, not intimidating
  • Real progress comes from support, not extremes
  • Age should never be a barrier to feeling your best

We’re proud that more than half our members are over 50, and that many have been with us for years. We’re here for the long game – helping people create routines, results, and confidence that last.

We're Different

You’re Closer Than You Think

You don’t need to feel “fit enough” or confident to get started.
You just need a place that understands where you’re at and knows how to help.

We’re ready when you are.
Let’s talk, and see if we’re the right fit for your goals.
