FBC HARROGATE / NEW HERE?
First visit?
You're in good hands.
Walking into a new gym can feel like a big step. At FBC Harrogate, you'll find friendly faces, practical coaching and a place where you can start at your own pace.
YOUR FIRST SESSION, MADE SIMPLE
Here's how it works.
There are no secret gym rules to learn. Just three simple steps, with support whenever you need it.
Choose a session
Start with the free 7-day trial, explore the timetable and pick a session that fits around your day. Not sure where to begin? Ask us and we'll help you choose.
Come in and say hello
Find us at Provincial Works in Starbeck. Arriving a little early gives you time to settle in, meet your coach and mention any concerns or experience you'd like us to know about.
Give it a go
Your coach will explain the session, show you the movements and offer suitable options. You don't need to keep up with anyone else — it's your session too.
WHAT TO BRING
Just yourself.
We'll help with the rest.
No special kit or perfect fitness level required. A few small things will help make your first visit comfortable.
- Comfortable clothes you can move in
- Trainers suitable for indoor exercise
- A water bottle and, if you like, a small towel
- A little extra time before your first class
- Any questions — they're always welcome
Tell your coach before training about any injuries, limitations or concerns so they can discuss appropriate options with you.

THE QUESTIONS WE HEAR MOST
It's OK to ask.
If you're wondering about something, chances are someone else has too. Here are a few answers to make the first visit easier.
Do I need to be fit before I join a class?
No. FBC welcomes different fitness levels. Coaches can guide your technique and discuss appropriate exercise options so you can build up gradually.
What if I don't know how to use the equipment?
That's what the coaches are there for. They'll show you how movements work, explain equipment and help you get comfortable.
Can I try more than one class?
Yes. The 7-day free trial is designed to let you experience a range of sessions and get to know the FBC community. Check the timetable and booking details for available sessions.
Will I be pushed to sign up?
No pressure. Use the trial to see how FBC feels and ask questions. If you decide you'd like to continue, the team can explain the membership options.
Where can I park?
Free parking is available at FBC in Provincial Works, off The Avenue in Starbeck. Use the map above if it's your first time visiting.
Can I speak to someone before booking?
Absolutely. Call 07891 802482 or email info@fbcharrogate.co.uk with any questions.
