Expert 1-to-1 personal training tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and your goals not a generic gym plan.
If you’ve tried gym memberships, YouTube workouts, or DIY programmes and still aren’t where you want to be, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. Most fitness content is built for the masses, not for you. That’s where a dedicated personal trainer in Balham makes all the difference.
At Core & More Fitness, we specialise in bespoke 1-to-1 personal training in Balham programmes designed around your body, your schedule, and your specific goals. Whether you want to lose weight, build lean muscle, move without pain, or simply feel stronger and more confident, we’ll build a plan that fits your life, then hold you accountable every step of the way.
Our approach is evidence-based, honest, and built on the understanding that sustainable results come from smart training not from punishing yourself every session. We work with clients across Balham and nearby areas including Clapham, Streatham, Wandsworth, and Tooting, and we’re passionate about helping South London residents take real ownership of their health.

We believe the fitness industry has overcomplicated something that, at its core, is straightforward: move well, recover properly, eat in a way that supports your goals, and be consistent. Where we come in is building the structure, knowledge, and accountability that most people are missing.
Our approach to personal training in Balham is rooted in science not trend cycles or social media fads. Every programme we write is grounded in strength and conditioning principles, progressive overload, and an honest understanding of how your body responds to training over time.
We take the time to understand your lifestyle, your history with exercise, what’s worked for you before and what hasn’t. That conversation shapes everything we build together. And because life isn’t static work gets busy, injuries happen, energy levels fluctuate we adapt your programme as you go, so you’re always working with your circumstances rather than against them.
The result? Clients who don’t just hit their goals they sustain them, build on them, and feel genuinely different in their daily lives.
Sarah M. — Balham
“As a busy professional commuting into the City, I needed a trainer who could work around my schedule without compromising on quality. The sessions are brilliant — challenging, focused, and I’ve added 40kg to my deadlift in 5 months. Genuinely the best investment I’ve made.”
James T. — Wandsworth
“After having my second child I felt completely disconnected from my body. The pre/postnatal programme was exactly what I needed — safe, encouraging, and incredibly effective. I’m stronger now than I was before pregnancy. I couldn’t recommend them more.”

Look for a fully qualified PT with a recognised certification (such as a Level 3 Personal Training qualification or above), real client testimonials, and a coaching style that resonates with you. At Core & More Fitness, we offer a free initial consultation so you can meet us, ask questions, and decide whether we’re the right fit with absolutely no obligation to commit.
Pricing depends on the type of programme, session frequency, and duration. Personal training in London typically ranges from £60–£100+ per session. We offer several packages to suit different budgets, and our free consultation will give you a clear picture of what’s involved. We believe great coaching is an investment and one that pays dividends in your health, energy, and confidence for years to come.
We train clients at selected gyms in and around Balham, as well as outdoors (including Tooting Bec Common and Clapham Common when conditions allow). We can also discuss mobile PT options travelling to a client’s home or preferred outdoor space depending on availability. Get in touch to discuss what works best for you.
Absolutely. Many of our most successful clients came to us with zero gym experience. Working with a personal trainer from the start actually gives you a huge advantage you’ll learn correct technique, build safe habits, and avoid the common mistakes that slow progress or lead to injury. We meet you exactly where you are and build from there.
Most clients notice meaningful changes in energy, strength, and confidence within the first 4–6 weeks. Visible physical changes typically begin to show between 8–12 weeks with consistent training and good nutrition habits. The speed of progress depends on your starting point, goal, and consistency, which is exactly why having a coach to guide and adapt your programme makes such a significant difference.
Yes fat loss and body composition change is one of our most common client goals. We take a holistic approach that combines structured training with practical nutrition guidance. We don’t believe in crash diets or unsustainable extremes; we focus on building habits and a caloric framework that lets you lose fat steadily while actually feeling good day to day.
