Muscle loss after 40 isn't inevitable.

It's preventable. And it only takes 20 minutes a week.

Numbers don't lie.

Two inches off the waist. Eight stone lost. Pre-diabetes reversed. Back pain gone.

These are real fit20 Stocksbridge members sharing their real results. No scripts. Just what happens when the right method meets consistent effort in 20 minutes once a week.

Can you get an effective workout without sweating? At fit20 the answer is yes.

The studio is kept below 18 degrees. The method is slow and controlled. Your body temperature doesn't rise to the point where sweating is needed to cool you down. Excess heat actually gets in the way of achieving the full results from the session.

Effective training isn't measured by how much you sweat. It's measured by how hard your muscles work. At fit20 every rep is precise, controlled and pushed to the right end point. Which is exactly what produces results week after week.

If you've been wondering whether fit20 can work without the sweat, the short answer is: it's designed that way.

fit20 members train for 20 minutes.

Their bodies keep working for the other 10,060 minutes of the week.

Next in our series introducing the fit20 kit — the AB machine.

Most people think of core training as something you do for aesthetics. The reality is your core is involved in almost every movement your body makes and most people's is weaker than it should be.

The AB machine targets the abdominal muscles responsible for posture, spinal support and the kind of deep internal stability that keeps your body functioning well day to day. Whether you're lifting something heavy, sitting at a desk for hours or simply moving around, a strong core makes all of it easier and safer.

Izzy puts it simply, you're using your core 90% of the time in everything you do. This machine makes sure it's strong enough to keep up.

Next in our series introducing the fit20 kit, the adduction machine.

It targets the inner thigh muscles and hip flexors, a small muscle group that most people overlook but one that plays a bigger role in everyday life than you'd think. Getting in and out of the car, protecting your knees during walking or running, maintaining stability and balance as you get older. The adduction machine quietly supports all of it.

Don't be fooled by how it looks. It's one of those exercises that seems straightforward until you're a few reps in and your inner thighs are burning.

One of Izzy's clients noticed a dramatic improvement in his skiing performance after working on this machine consistently. That's the thing about strength you build at fit20 it shows up everywhere else in your life.
