Question 1

Do I need to be fit to join?

Accepted Answer

No. Every class is scaled to your level. Harry coaches the technique, not just the workout — complete beginners train at HVPT every session.

Question 2

Can I try before I commit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your first class is completely free, no card details needed. Just pick a session, book it, and turn up.

Question 3

Do I need a membership to train at HVPT?

Accepted Answer

No — you can drop in for any class at £10 per session. You get full access to the Train HVPT app including booking, progress tracking, and the leaderboard. If you train regularly, a monthly membership saves you money and guarantees your spot.

Question 4

What happens at my first session?

Accepted Answer

Harry will introduce you to the gym, show you around, and pair you with the right class for where you are now. There’s no pressure and no expectation — just a chance to see if HVPT is right for you.

Question 5

Where is HVPT based?

Accepted Answer

The Engine Shed, Station Yard, Station Road, Sharnbrook, MK44 1PU. We’re in the heart of Sharnbrook with easy access from Bedford, Rushden, and surrounding villages. There’s free parking on site.

Question 6

What should I bring to my first session?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable gym clothes, trainers and a water bottle. Everything else is provided. Arrive 5 minutes early so Harry can run through any questions before the session starts. There are no showers on site.

Question 7

What class should I start with?

Accepted Answer

If you’re new, HIIT+RUN or More Mobility are the best starting points. Harry will recommend the right one based on your goals when you get in touch.

Question 8

Can I come if I’ve never been to a gym before?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that’s exactly who HVPT was built for. Harry coaches people from complete beginner to competitive athlete, and every session is structured so nobody gets left behind.

Question 9

What classes do you run?

Accepted Answer

We run four class types: HIIT+RUN (cardio-focused intervals), Peak Performance (athletic conditioning), Power Precision (strength and control), and More Mobility (flexibility, recovery, and movement quality). Check the Classes page for the full timetable.

Question 10

How many people are in each class?

Accepted Answer

Classes are capped at eight — twelve for the Wednesday and Friday 18:00 HIIT+RUN — so everyone gets individual attention and coaching. This isn’t a big-box gym; Harry knows every member by name.

Question 11

What if a class is full?

Accepted Answer

Join the waitlist in the app. If someone cancels, you’ll be automatically promoted and notified. If you booked an alternative class as backup, you can cancel it penalty-free.

Question 12

Can I attend any class on any plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All membership plans give you access to all class types. Train on whichever sessions suit your schedule and goals.

Question 13

How much does PT cost?

Accepted Answer

One-to-one personal training sessions are £42 an hour, £200 for a block of five. For more details on what’s included, visit the Personal Training page.

Question 14

What does a PT session involve?

Accepted Answer

Every session is built around your goals. Harry programmes your training, coaches you through every exercise, and adjusts the plan as you progress. Sessions cover strength, conditioning, mobility, or sport-specific training — whatever you need.

Question 15

Can I combine PT with group classes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many members do both — group classes for conditioning and community, PT for individualised strength work or specific goals. Harry can programme around both.

Question 16

How does payment work for group PT sessions?

Accepted Answer

Group PT lets you train with a partner or small group — sessions are available for 2, 3, or 4 people training together.

When you book, the lead booker pays their share at the time of booking. Every other participant receives a payment link via email and pays their share individually. The session is only confirmed once everyone has paid.

There’s a 48-hour deadline — if all payments aren’t received within 48 hours of booking, the session may be released back into availability.

Per person: 1:2 (pair) £27.50 each · 1:3 (trio) £25.00 each · 1:4 (group of four) £21.25 each.

Question 17

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Monthly class memberships start at £63 for eight classes a month, with 12, 16 and 20-class plans and the Ultimate Experience above that. Every price is published on the Pricing page — nothing behind a form.

Question 18

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Monthly memberships, the four-week trial and drop-in classes are paid by card through Stripe. PT sessions can be booked and paid by contacting Harry directly.

Question 19

Can I change my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your membership at any time. Changes take effect from the next billing cycle. Just let Harry know or update through the app.

Question 20

Is there a minimum contract?

Accepted Answer

Monthly memberships run month-to-month with no long-term contract. You can cancel at any time with 30 days’ notice. Pay-as-you-go has no commitment at all.

Question 21

How do I book a class?

Accepted Answer

Book any class instantly in the Train HVPT app. View the full schedule on the Timetable page, then open the app to book your space.

Question 22

What’s the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancel with 24 hours’ notice and your class is returned to your allowance. Late cancellations or no-shows use it. This keeps things fair for everyone on the waitlist.

Question 23

What happens if I’m late?

Accepted Answer

Sessions start on time. If you’re a few minutes late you can still join, but arriving on time ensures you get the proper warm-up and get the most from the session.

Question 24

What is the HVPT Academy?

Accepted Answer

The Academy is our youth training programme for ages 13–17. It builds athletic foundations — strength, speed, coordination, and confidence — in a structured, age-appropriate environment.

Question 25

What age can my child start?

Accepted Answer

The Academy is designed for young athletes aged 13–17. Sessions are structured by development stage, not age alone, so every athlete is challenged at the right level.

Question 26

Does my child need previous gym experience?

Accepted Answer

No prior experience needed. The programme starts with movement fundamentals and builds progressively. Harry coaches every session and ensures technique is developed safely from day one.

Question 27

Is HVPT responsible for lost or stolen items?

Accepted Answer

HVPT accepts no responsibility for the loss, theft, or damage of personal belongings brought onto the premises. Members are advised not to bring valuables to the gym. HVPT does not provide secure storage for personal items.

Question 28

What safety measures does HVPT have?

Accepted Answer

Your safety is our priority. All members must complete a PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) before training. Harry is first-aid trained and all equipment is regularly inspected and maintained.

We ask all members to follow safety instructions during sessions, wear appropriate gym attire, and wipe down equipment after use.

Question 29

Do you offer nutrition advice?

Accepted Answer

A nutrition tracking tool is coming soon to the Train HVPT app — calorie targets, food diary, water tracking, supplements guide, and daily tips. PT members get personalised guidance from Harry.

Question 30

I’m going through menopause — can I still train?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Strength training is one of the best things you can do during perimenopause and menopause.
