Where it started?
Our founder, Ben Goulding has always had a passion for fitness and particularly lifting weights, but it wasn’t until he was diagnosed with type one diabetes that the importance of good health and being fit really hit home. Ben was hit with the realisation that blood sugar levels affect everything, something which isn’t always obvious to those who don’t have diabetes. It also became clear that as far as being fit and healthy is concerned, one size doesn’t fit all, that fitness looks different for everyone and needs to be accessible to everyone. It was at this point, in 2011, that Ben started his venture to make this happen and began sourcing a small variety of fitness equipment which he could offer at affordable prices available to all and so, Workout For Less was born. Gradually this grew and the premises expanded. Today we stock dozens of brands in dozens of categories catering for everyone - from those new to fitness to athletes striving to be top of their game and everyone in between. We also cater for gyms, schools and a variety of other commercial environments.
It’s about the people
Our belief is that it’s not just about the equipment we sell, it’s about our customers. We realise that fitness is personal and is different for everyone. That’s why we aim to provide the best customer service, tailored to the needs of each and every individual we have contact with. We want to ensure our customers have the best experience when shopping with us. We have an expert team who are here to help and advise you with any questions you may have. If you are unsure about a product, or unsure of what to choose, let us know and we will do all we can to help and advise.
Our products
When it comes to the products, we know that our customers want quality and we are not prepared to compromise on that. We know that every purchase made has been made with thought and consideration and with an expectation that it will not only perform as described but will last. Hence, we only offer quality products from top quality brands which includes exclusive distribution of equipment from HXGN and Azure.
Our ethos
At Workout For Less, we believe that fitness is for everyone and that is at the heart of what we do. We realise that being fit is individual and different for everyone. That was Ben’s belief at the beginning and we continue to this day with that as our message. Our team is here for you. Together we can make fitness not just a possibility but a reality for all.
