Thousands of people from different walks of life around Manchester have been exercising with MF since 1999 (formerly British Military Fitness Manchester). Every session is led by our ex-military instructors and works to the ability of the group, so whether you're starting from scratch or already train, there's a group at your level..
Each session is suitable for all abilities from absolute beginners to keen fitness enthusiasts. Our coloured bib system enables us to break you into groups with people with a similar ability level and allows our highly skilled instructors to provide the appropriate exercises and intensity for each individual.

BLUES (Beginners) For people that currently do little or no exercise or are returning to fitness training after a break (i.e. following injury, illness or post natal). We work to the ability of the group. Nobody is ever left behind.
REDS (Intermediate) For those who have worked their way up from a Blue bib or those joining us who have a reasonable standard of fitness already. Intermediate classes are a great way to challenge your speed, strength, agility and stamina and take your fitness to the next level.
GREENS (Advanced) Not for the faint hearted. This is where we challenge the fittest participants to their max. Separate advanced classes are run at most of our venues. The classes are highly rated by our seasoned members, who are now fit enough to be pushed to their limit and beyond
