testimonial

What our members have to say.

Have been with Fortis close to two years – having dipped in and out of training previously. Without exception, a first-class gym. Now stronger and fitter than I have ever been, weight has dropped by over 20lb, and remained off. Damian’s initial assessment is forensic, takes account of client goals and programme developed accordingly. Certainly not your ‘one size fits all’ type of place. Great to have a Strength and Conditioning Coach who is informed by science, physiology and who understands nutrition. Experience is good, but compounded with ‘knowledge’, it’s rare and exceptional.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Where are you based?

We’re based in Springtown, on the Balliniska road Google map.

When can I train?

"See our timetable below. As we grow so does our timetable but at the moment there's enough room for everyone (we have a membership cap)"

What is small group personal training?

At FORTIS we split the difference between 1:1 training and larger group fitness classes, creating small groups of 6-8 people at a time led by an expert coach. This allows us to provide as much attention as you would experience in a personal training session but with a bit more fun and a lot more affordable.

I'm an absolute beginner, can I join?

At FORTIS all fitness levels are welcome and absolute beginners are encouraged to join. After your initial assessment your program is tailored to meet you at where you are right now. Nobody is thrown in at the deep end.

I've been going to the gym for a while myself, is this too easy?

At FORTIS we have an eclectic mix of members. Since we’ve opened our doors we’ve had professional and amateur athletes train alongside our beginners. We also routinely have strength & conditioning coaches and personal trainers join to sharpen their skills and give themselves another level of accountability. We take training seriously and if you do too we're probably the place for you.

I've got a sore back/knee/hip/ankle. Can I still join?

We mostly work with older professionals so aches, pains and niggles come with the territory. Our programs can be manipulated in such a way that we can give you a training effect whilst avoiding unnecessary pain.

We routinely see people regain range of motion and pain free movement at FORTIS. We also consult with local physiotherapists to give you the best tools to train around pain.

How do I book my sessions?

Once you've completed your initial 12 weeks to see the full benefits of the program, we offer packages that range from a monthly recurring membership to 6 month commitments (with discounts for longer term commitments).

Whilst many people train with us for years, many chose a monthly recurring membership.

What if I miss a session?

We get it, life gets in the way sometimes and don't worry you'll have adequate time to cancel via the app. However If this becomes a regular occurrence you’ll have a coach on your case to keep you accountable

How long do I have to commit?

Once you've completed your initial 12 weeks to see the full benefits of the program, we offer packages that range from a monthly recurring membership to 6 month commitments (with discounts for longer term commitments).

Whilst many people train with us for years, many chose a monthly recurring membership.

Do you offer an open gym?

We offer up to 16 coached sessions weekly at multiple times throughout the day, however if you can't make a session you can use the gym during off peak hours to catch up.
