What is Base Fit Ladies Gym?

Base Fit is Wakefield’s first ladies-only small-group coaching studio — a modern space created for women who want real results without the pressure of a busy gym.
Each session is coach-led, structured around your goals, and limited to a maximum of 8 ladies so you’ll always feel supported and confident.

All members get access to the Base Fit booking app, where you can easily book and manage your sessions for the week.
Simply choose the days and times that work for you it’s quick, flexible and keeps your training consistent.

Yes! Once you join, you’re welcome to pop in during the day for a relaxed intro session where we’ll show you around, chat through your goals, and make sure you feel totally at ease before your first workout.

Yes. Base Fit is exclusively for female members.

Our sessions are coached by father-and-daughter team Shane and Connie, so while the gym is ladies-only for members, Shane is one of the coaches you may train with.

Absolutely. Around 80% of our members start with little to no gym experience.
Every workout is adapted to your level, and our coaches focus on teaching correct form, building confidence, and helping you progress safely at your own pace.

No. You come to Base Fit to get fitter — you don’t need to get fitter before you arrive. Sessions can be adjusted to suit your current ability and experience, and you’ll progress from there.

Base Fit isn’t your typical gym — there’s no wandering around guessing what to do, no waiting for machines, and no feeling out of place.
Every session is coach-led, structured, and designed for real progress.
You’ll train in small groups, using our full range of treadmills, SkiErgs, rowers, Assault Bikes, weights, and cables, all guided by expert coaches who make sure every rep counts.
It’s everything you need from personal training — in a fun, motivating, and supportive environment.

Most ladies notice a difference in strength, energy and confidence within the first few weeks.
Over the 6-Week Foundation Programme, you’ll feel stronger, move better, and start seeing visible changes in your body and mindset.

It all starts with our 6-Week Foundation Programme — designed to help you kick-start your journey, learn the basics of strength training, and feel completely at home in the studio.

From there, you can continue with our small-group or large-group coaching programmes, where you’ll keep building strength, confidence, and consistency.

As part of your membership, you’ll also get access to our Health & Wellbeing Members Area — packed with expert guidance and practical tools, including:
💧 Hydration, sleep & habit tips to support your results
📈 Optional weight loss tracking to measure progress your way
📸 Private before & after photo uploads to see just how far you’ve come

It’s not just about fitness — it’s about feeling your best inside and out.

Absolutely. Many women join Base Fit with little or no strength-training experience. We’ll teach you the exercises, help you choose appropriate weights and make sure you understand what you’re doing rather than expecting you to figure it out yourself.

No. Our sessions have a maximum of 8 women so your coach can give individual guidance, correct technique, adjust exercises and help you progress. You still get the atmosphere of training with other women, but with much more personal coaching than you’d normally receive in a large exercise class.
