ABOUT US
NF Fitness was created to offer something different from the traditional gym experience. We believe fitness should feel supportive, inclusive, and enjoyable, not intimidating or overwhelming.
Our approach focuses on all-round fitness for body, mind, and spirit. We work with people of all ages and abilities, including those who are new to exercise, returning after injury or time away, managing pain, or simply looking for a more welcoming environment to move their body.
At our gym in Porth, we deliver Strength and Conditioning, Boxing-Based Fitness, and Personal Training in a supportive, non-intimidating setting. Alongside this, we run community-based classes across Gilfach Goch, Tonyrefail, and Ely, Cardiff, including Chair-Based Exercise, Pilates-Style Sessions, and Dance-Based Fitness, ensuring our services are accessible to a wider community.
We also recognise that wellbeing goes beyond physical movement. NF Fitness offers mindfulness sessions, alongside sports therapy, massage, and lymphatic drainage treatments, supporting recovery, mental wellbeing, and long-term health.
What truly defines NF Fitness is our community. We are proud to have built a welcoming space where people feel supported, encouraged, and valued. Progress is celebrated at every level, and no one is made to feel out of place.
Our team is fully trained, insured, and professionally accredited, but above all, they are people who genuinely care. We focus on building confidence, connection, and consistency, helping our members feel stronger both physically and mentally.
Our work has been recognised through multiple awards, including Personal Trainer of the Year, Fitness Class of the Year, and Gym of the Year (First Place) at the Welsh Fitness Awards, CEO Business of the Year at the South Wales Business Awards, and First Place for Community-Focused Exercise Programmes awarded by Global Health & Pharmaceuticals (GHP).
NF Fitness is more than a gym. It is a community-led approach to health and wellbeing, built on trust, inclusivity, and genuine care.
WHY CREATE ALL THIS?
Not everyone loves the gym. I know that feeling personally.
I have walked into fitness spaces feeling out of place, self-conscious, and unsure of myself. Feeling like just another face in the crowd. Wondering why I was even there. Not knowing the moves, feeling watched, and questioning my own ability. Getting fit felt difficult, not because of my body, but because of my thoughts.
The same applied beyond exercise. Even something as simple as booking a massage felt out of reach when confidence was low and self-belief was missing.
Those experiences shaped everything that NF Fitness has become.
They led me to create a different kind of fitness environment, one built on understanding, encouragement, and connection. A place where fun and camaraderie sit alongside effective training, and where people feel supported rather than judged.
Every class is designed to help you feel safe, included, and part of something. This is a space where confidence can grow, at your own pace, without pressure.
Every one of our instructors and therapists shares this same vision. Many have lived through similar experiences themselves, which is why we are so passionate about removing barriers to fitness and wellbeing, and creating opportunities for everyone to have a positive, fulfilling experience.
Beyond the classes, NF Fitness is a community. We come together for things like cold water swimming, mountain hikes, coastal walks, beach barbecues, and the occasional mystery trip. These moments matter, because connection does not stop when the workout ends.
NF Fitness exists to prove that fitness can feel welcoming, enjoyable, and genuinely life-enhancing
