The studio has made significant strides in transforming the lives of over 300 Southampton residents through its personalised fitness coaching programmes.
Starting the week commencing 12th August, Focused Personal Training is excited to launch a new 6-week Total Body Reset Plan designed to lift the mental load of fitness. The programme aims to create a supportive community where participants can find their tribe, overcoming the feeling of isolation often experienced in gyms. At Focused Personal Training, the belief is in celebrating successes together and understanding the common barriers everyone faces.
Participants start with a 1-2-1 session to assess their current fitness level and map out their goals and the steps needed to achieve them. The focus is on achieving results quickly to maintain motivation, with a coach working with participants for three hours each week. Each participant receives a specialised plan designed for optimal results, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way. Weekly coaching on behaviour change related to health and fitness maximizes results. At the end of the 6 weeks, participants have another 1-2-1 session to review their progress, celebrate successes, and develop a long-term plan.
Since its inception, Focused Personal Training has been dedicated to helping individuals overcome various health challenges, regain physical independence, rediscover their energy and confidence, and reclaim their ability to live life to the fullest. The studio's Founder, Megan Batchelor, a seasoned competitive powerlifter and personal trainer with over a decade of experience, established the facility out of a deep passion for empowering individuals through strength and resilience.
Angie, a 44-year-old client from Shirley, shared her experience: "After nearly 4 years away from the gym, surgeries on both knees, and having a baby, I was hesitant to start personal training. However, training with the FPT team has brought about noticeable changes. The trainers adapt exercises to my level and use various techniques to help me progress. The environment is welcoming and supportive, creating a sense of community with fellow trainees."
Despite the thriving community of dedicated individuals who support and inspire each other, Focused Personal Training faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 20, 2020, the studio had to close its doors indefinitely due to the nationwide lockdown. Amid the uncertainty, the founder’s two sisters, both NHS doctors, were on the front lines, adding to the emotional toll of the period. Just two days into the lockdown, the founder received the news of her third pregnancy in three years, further intensifying the sense of an uncertain future.
The pandemic underscored the importance of social connection and highlighted the irreplaceable value of in-person workouts. Although the studio adapted by offering online coaching, it became clear that the essence of their mission lay in the power of community and shared physical experiences. The loyalty and support from the client community during this time were profoundly touching, demonstrating a collective resilience and commitment.
The global health crisis reinforced the critical need for physical resilience and proactive health management. Recognising the necessity to expand their reach and impact, the founder committed to growing both the team and her own leadership skills. This dedication has led to the recruitment of compassionate and experienced fitness coaches who share the mission of transforming lives through fitness.
In the three years following the final lockdown, Focused Personal Training has expanded its influence, growing from assisting dozens to hundreds of individuals in their journey toward improved health and quality of life. The studio continues to uphold the belief that fitness is about freedom—empowering people to live their lives with confidence, energy, and without limitations.
The Impact Award at Big Business Events is a testament to the studio's significant contributions to the community and its unwavering commitment to making a difference. Focused Personal Training remains dedicated to fostering a supportive and vibrant community where fitness is not just a goal but a way of life. As the studio looks to the future, it aims to continue making a positive difference, one person at a time.
