Get Fitter. Get Stronger. Enjoy Exercise.
Start Again for the Last Time
Tried the gym before but struggled to stick with it? Started exercising at home only to lose motivation a few weeks later? Or perhaps you simply haven’t found a way of exercising that you actually enjoy?
You’re not alone.
At The Hive in Bideford, we’ve created a different approach to personal training and fitness. There’s no intimidating gym environment, no egos and no expectation that you should already be fit. Just friendly, professional support to help you exercise consistently, become stronger and feel better.
LiveWell Personal Training
LiveWell is our small group personal training programme, combining the structure and support of personal training with the encouragement and atmosphere of exercising alongside like-minded people.
Your exercises can be adapted around your ability and individual needs, while our coaches are there to guide you, help you progress and make sure you’re getting the most from your sessions.
It’s not about pushing yourself to exhaustion every time you walk through the door. It’s about exercising in a way that’s effective, enjoyable and sustainable enough to become part of your life.

- Build strength and confidence
- Improve your fitness at your own pace
- Feel better in your body day to day

- Enjoy exercising alongside supportive, like-minded people
- Make progress without feeling judged or out of place
Our aim is simple: help you get fitter and stronger – and make this the last time you ever have to start again.

Personal Training That Works Around You
There isn’t one definition of getting fit.
For you, it might mean feeling stronger, having more energy, improving your mobility or being able to keep up with the family. You might want to return to an activity you used to enjoy or simply feel healthier and more confident in your body.
That’s why our personal training starts with your goals, rather than expecting everyone to follow exactly the same programme.
Small Group Personal Training
LiveWell gives you the benefits of working with an experienced coach alongside the motivation and social side of exercising with others.
Sessions are structured and varied to keep things interesting, while exercises can be adapted to suit different abilities within the group.
That means you can enjoy the encouragement of exercising with other people without feeling that you have to keep up with anyone else.
Personal Training for Beginners
Never really exercised before? That’s absolutely fine.
You won’t be expected to know how to use equipment or perform exercises before you start. We’ll show you what to do, help you understand the movements and gradually build your confidence.
The aim isn’t to compare yourself with anyone else. It’s simply to keep making progress from your own starting point.
Returning to Exercise After an Injury
An old injury doesn’t necessarily mean exercise is off limits.
If you’re ready to exercise but need additional support, we can adapt your training around many common aches and previous injuries.
If you’re at an earlier stage of recovery, our Exercise & Injury Rehabilitation service may be a more appropriate place to start. You can then progress towards personal training as your movement, strength and confidence improve.
More Than Just Getting Fit
Regular exercise can help you build strength, improve fitness and stay active, but one of the biggest benefits of LiveWell is consistency.
Having a structured session, professional support and a group of familiar faces waiting for you can make it much easier to keep going.
Because the best exercise programme isn’t the hardest one.
It’s the one you can keep doing.

Personal Training & Fitness FAQs
Do I need to be fit before starting personal training?
No. You don’t need any particular level of fitness to start at The Hive. Exercises can be adapted around your current ability, and we’ll help you progress gradually as your strength, fitness and confidence improve.
What is small group personal training?
Small group personal training combines professional coaching with the motivation and social benefits of exercising alongside a small group of other people. At The Hive, our LiveWell sessions allow exercises to be adapted to different abilities while everyone benefits from the support and atmosphere of the group.
Is personal training suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Beginners are very welcome at The Hive. We’ll show you how to perform exercises, help you understand what you’re doing and adapt the intensity to suit your starting point. You don’t need previous gym experience.
Can I exercise if I have an old injury?
In many cases, exercises can be adapted around previous injuries, aches or limitations. If an injury is still affecting your movement or you’re not yet confident returning to normal exercise, our Exercise & Injury Rehabilitation service may be a better starting point.
How often should I attend personal training sessions?
This depends on your goals, circumstances and how much exercise you want to fit into your week. Many LiveWell members attend several sessions each week, but we’ll help you find a routine that’s realistic and sustainable for you.
