Chelmsford · Personal training for over 50s
Get stronger, lose the aches and get your energy back in small, coached sessions built around your body. No experience needed. No judgement. No long contract.
Free, friendly and no obligation. No hard sell, ever.
Sound familiar?
You're not too old.
You've just been doing it alone.
Stairs, gardening, getting up off the floor with the grandkids. It's all harder than it used to be.
Flagging by mid-afternoon. Weight creeping on, even though you eat the same as ever.
Loud music, mirrors and 20-somethings. You'd rather stay at home. So you do.
A dodgy knee, a new hip or a health scare. You don't know what's safe any more.
If you nodded at even one of these, you're exactly who we built Unique Results for.

150 members maximum, so your coach knows your name
Why Unique Results is different
This isn't a gym where you swipe in and get ignored. A coach is on the floor every session, and they know your goals, your history and your dodgy knee.
Never lifted a weight? Bad back? New hip? We adapt every exercise so you're challenged but safe. It's why people who swore they'd never join a gym end up training with us for 10 years.
Your coach knows you, your goals and your history. You'll never be a swipe card.
Total beginner, bad back or new hip? Every exercise is adapted so you're challenged but safe.
Strength, mobility, balance and energy. The things that matter most after 50.
No showboating. No judgement. Just people your age cheering you on.
Practical help from qualified nutritionist Shane Nugent. No fad diets, no shakes, no starving.
Start with 28 days or 6 weeks. Love it? Stay month to month. Most members do.
Real members. Real results.
Retirees, busy professionals, total beginners and people coming back from injury. This is what happened when they stopped going it alone.

“I've signed up and left so many other uninspiring, impersonal gyms in the past. Unique Results is a completely different atmosphere. It is a bunch of lovely trainers who absolutely have your best interests at heart.”
Jo PearceUnique Results memberLove this place!
“Having been a member of a very well known commercial gym in Chelmsford where my membership card never left my car, I can say Unique Results is the best ever gym. No uncomfortable moments, just welcome, and workouts tailored to suit every ability. Plus no posers!”
Jenny RetallicUnique Results memberBeginners are always welcomed and helped
“From the moment you enter you are greeted with “hello Paul”. Yes, they all know your first name, and that's not just the staff but also the other clients. Beginners are always welcomed and helped.”
Paul SouthgateUnique Results memberThe friendliest gym I've ever been to!
“Everyone, including the excellent trainers and members, encourages you to do your best! I never thought I would plan my social life around what I want to do at the gym, but I do now.”
Sally GatrellUnique Results memberThey adapt what they do!
“Trainers are brilliant. They adapt what they do to take account of all our little (and not so little) foibles, but we are all pushed out of our comfort zones. That doesn't happen in larger gyms.”
Jo LilliottUnique Results memberEveryone is so friendly!
“UR is much more than a gym, or a route to weight loss. James and the team genuinely have created a community. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and supportive.”
Matt WilsonUnique Results memberThe atmosphere is fantastic!
“The moment you walk through the doors the trainers make you feel so welcome and know you by name instantly. I have made lots of friends at the gym but also some very special lifelong friends. Who would have thought this would happen in my local gym?”
Wendy BartramUnique Results memberThey really do care!
“The time and effort ALL the trainers dedicate to the members is astonishing. Having a cap on the number of members means the classes are small and each participant receives targeted advice.”

A word from the founder
“I've worked full-time in fitness for over 25 years. In 2007 I opened Unique Results because I was fed up with intimidating, impersonal gyms that take people's money and leave them to it.”
What started as one room is now a 5,000 sq ft studio, and it still feels like family. Most of our members are in their 50s, 60s and 70s, and our coaches know every one of them by name.
My own goal? Still travelling, training and snowboarding in my 80s. Let's set you a goal like that.
James St Pierre Founder, Unique Results

Questions
Still not sure? Apply for more info and we'll answer your questions, with no pressure.
Book a consultationYes. This is exactly who we built it for. Most of our members walked in unfit, out of practice and a bit nervous. The Fit For Life Challenge starts you at your level and builds from there, with a coach adapting every exercise. You won't be thrown in at the deep end, and nobody will be watching you struggle.
In most cases, yes. Our Live Well Programme starts with a one-to-one strategy session so we can plan around your knees, back, hips or health condition before you do a single exercise. Tell us about it on your free call and we'll be honest about what we can help with. If you're under medical care, check with your GP before starting any new exercise.
No. But most of our members are in their 50s, 60s and 70s, and everything we do is built around them: strength, mobility, balance and energy for the decades ahead. If that's what you want, you'll fit right in.
A relaxed, friendly chat with our team. We ask about your goals, your health and anything you're worried about. We answer your questions and recommend the best way for you to start. No hard sell. If we don't think we're right for you, we'll tell you.
No. Your intro programme is a single payment with nothing to cancel. If you love it and want to stay, memberships are rolling monthly with one month's notice. That's it.
Because a cheap gym gives you a swipe card and leaves you to it. If that worked, you'd already be fit. Here you get coaching, a plan, people who notice when you're missing and a community that keeps you coming back. We cap membership at 150 so our coaches know every member's name, goals and niggles. It's why many of our members have stayed for over 10 years.
Yes, free parking anywhere on the Waterhouse Business Centre site. Between 9am and 5pm on weekdays you'll need a permit on your dashboard, which you can pick up from reception and use for the whole calendar month.
