Find your January motivation with XF Gym 2 January 2026
Kickstart your best year with the coolest gym you’ll ever go to, XF Gym!
Priding itself on its ‘xperience focused’ approach, the UK’s first XF Gym takes fitness a step further with all the latest equipment in an open-plan workout zone.
There’s a wide range of large and boutique-style classes, luxury wellness facilities including a Himalayan salt spa and steam room, plus massage and tanning beds, and even a resident DJ!
XF Gym’s personal trainers are here for you no matter your fitness or personal goals – Grace, gym manager and PT, has inspired those she trains with her own journey.
Grace became a gymgoer after being put on blood pressure medication before she turned 30; she also wanted to be a role model to her daughter and live life to the fullest!
She says: “We need PTs that can be relatable, so I know what it’s like to have had a child, I know what it’s like to have been overweight.”
Watch this for more about Grace’s inspiring story, going from gym newbie to XF Gym trainer.

Ready to start your gym journey too? Here’s some top tips:
- Classes are the perfect place for beginners, with plenty of options based on your interests and goals. They’ve even launched new classes for 2026, including XF Reps (to learn how to lift weights), XF Rounds (boxing) and XF Unlocked (mobility).
- Join with a gym buddy – the perfect motivator, or just someone to chat to on the treadmill! But don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to come along with, as their community is all about making new friends too.
- Don’t feel pressure to push yourself too hard for the first few sessions – Grace says: “Do what you can and what you enjoy. Whether you come in for 10 minutes or an hour, just do what makes you feel good.”
- Book in a gym induction – each induction session takes place with a PT, who can show you the ropes and answer any of your burning questions.
