Absolute Training & Nutrition Get started

Absolute Training & Nutrition · Barnstaple

Six weeks to tone up, get fitter and feel more energetic.

We're a private small group personal training gym in Roundswell, Barnstaple: no more than six people in a session, a coach with you every time, and nutrition coaching alongside. A lot of our members came to us not at all confident in a gym.

The 6 Week Challenge: up to 18 small group PT sessions over six weeks, a programme built for your goal, and nutrition targets set for you.

Each intake has a fixed number of spaces

01 What changes

Where the six weeks get you

Weight off, strength on

Caroline wasn't confident in a gym. With our coaches she lost weight and got consistent with strength training, in the small group sessions.

Confidence in a gym

Linda always thought people in gyms were looking at her. “I can honestly say it’s the best thing I have ever done,” she wrote.

Never left guessing

A personal trainer coaches you at every session, and the exercises are tailored to you if you have an injury or any limitations.

02 Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Wayne

I founded Absolute Training & Nutrition back in 2005, and before that I was a critical care nurse. That job taught me that by the time most people take their health seriously, they're already in a hospital bed. I wanted to work at the other end of that.

I started Absolute out of the back of my car, driving round North Devon with a boot full of kit. Twenty years later we coach people out of two private facilities, here on Lauder Lane in Roundswell, Barnstaple, and in Braunton.

The 6 Week Challenge is how most people start with us: a one-to-one induction with a 3D body scan and a movement assessment first, then up to three coached small group sessions a week, with nutrition coaching alongside. We don't do hard sells. If it's not right for you, we'll tell you.

03 Your first step

A chat on the phone, or come in

After your details, you choose. Either way it's a chat about what you'd like to change, and you can ask us anything.

I'm only 3 weeks in to the 6 weeks challenge and I can honestly say that I was apprehensive to begin with… I'm currently going through menopause and have found it difficult to exercise. The help, encouragement and support and great advice that I have received at absolute is outstanding

As someone who was not confident in a gym situation, Absolute was the right place for me. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and have encouraged me to push myself. With their help I have been able to lose weight and develop consistency with strength training through the small group training sessions and gym.

I did the 6 week Small class personal training sessions. Within these sessions you get to learn how to lift weights and also how to manage your eating habits to make them better… Highly recommend this 6 week course to kick start a new healthy, stronger you.

The small group training is amazing, no more than six at a time. The staff are very professional and know your name which shows you are not just a number.

At nearly 70 and never having been in a gym before, I joined Absolute Nutrition about 2 months ago after having been unwell earlier this year. But already the results are clear to see
