At OPEX Bristol, personal training is more than just exercise—it's a fully guided experience rooted in trust, expertise, and long-term progress. Based in Bedminster, Bristol, we specialise in individualised fitness coaching that empowers people to build strength, boost energy, and move pain-free—all without the intimidation of a typical gym.

Forget one-size-fits-all sessions. At OPEX Bristol, every client is matched with a dedicated coach who gets to know your goals, lifestyle, and movement patterns. Together, you’ll build a programme that fits your routine and grows with you.

At OPEX Bristol, we feel that short term personal training has diminishing returns for your money. Any good personal trainer should be looking to keep their members for the long term, building a quality relationship and helping them achieve the best possible results.

Initial Assessment Session: This includes movement testing, goal setting, and a walkthrough of how we work.

BESPOKE PRIVATE GYM IN BRISTOL

Not having the kit available or having crazy busy times at a gym sucks. Our Bristol private gym is purpose built and will not have more than 8 people working out at a time.

ASSESSMENT

OPEX has a saying “Assess, don’t guess.” Whatever your goal is we need to measure where you’re at now and continually assess to make sure you get their. We go deep on assessment! Body Fat %, muscle mass, weight, hydration, visceral fat, strength, mobility, stability, aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness, power, speed... The list goes on. If your goal is related to it, we’ll test it continually through your time here. No personal trainer will shy away from testing, we’re confident in the results.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING

The fitness industry is hardly regulated and is full of low quality personal trainers. We spend £1,000’s each year on coach education and have 1000’s of hours experience.

ATMOSPHERE & FUN

If you dread going to the gym or just find it boring, you’ll never make it part of your lifestyle. The trainers and fellow members keep it fun. You’ll get to know your classmates pretty quickly and we also arrange social nights. What better way to get to know everyone than embarrass yourself after a few proseccos! (or let the coaches do that)

NUTRITION

You’ll get legitimate nutritional coaching. This is the key to weight loss and will be instrumental in any weight gain and bulking. If you want to change your body composition, this is the place to start!

CONSULTATIONS

Every month you’ll sit down with your personal trainer to discuss how it’s all going. Here we have honest conversations about nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress, etc.. How can you expect to get life changing results when your lifestyle doesn’t support it? You might like the idea of “6 week abs” but what happens at week 12? You’ve put it all back on again. Don’t be fooled by the “reach your goals faster” marketing ploy.

ACCOUNTABILITY/MOTIVATION

You’ll be assigned your personal trainer who will take care of you and your program. Behind the scenes they will keep you accountable and help guide you through it all.

LONG TERM PROGRAMMING

After your assessments and consultation your personal trainer will map out what the next 12 months might look for you. Then each month refine that program and plan the specifics. This style of properly periodised training program will be part of why you get the best results you’ve ever had and it will also help keep you injury free! Unfortunate to say but if you asked most personal trainers, they haven’t even planned their members next week let alone the whole year. This is a fitness experience that will look to your long term health.

FAQs About Personalised Fitness Training

No problem. We specialise in working with clients who need extra support or adaptations. Our coaches have experience with injury rehabilitation and will design a programme that fits your body and pace.

That was until she started working with OPEX Bristol Personal Trainer and owner James Grogan. Now she uses the gym to de-stress from work, create more balance and feel happier.
