A Personal Trainer for Arnold That Actually Gets It
Why people from Arnold train with us
Let's be honest: finding a personal trainer can feel awkward. Big commercial gyms can be intimidating, and it's easy to feel like everyone else knows what they're doing while you're just trying not to make eye contact with the squat rack. RB5 Personal Training was built for exactly that feeling. No egos, no pressure, no one judging your starting point.
We're based in Nottingham near Old Market Square, which makes us an easy trip from Arnold whether you're heading into town for work, hopping on the bus down Mansfield Road, or driving in. Plenty of our members travel in from surrounding areas because they've found something here that's hard to find closer to home: a gym that feels like a fitness family rather than a room full of strangers.
Personal training for every ability, not just the already-fit
Ricky and the team work with real people at every stage. That includes complete beginners, people coming back from injury, postpartum members rebuilding their strength and confidence, and our Fitness Over 50s members who want to stay strong, mobile and independent for the long haul.
You can train 1-to-1 with a personal trainer if you want fully personalised attention, or join our small and large group personal training sessions if you prefer the energy and camaraderie of training alongside others. We also run group fitness classes for anyone who wants a fun, structured workout without going it alone.
Whatever route you choose, the coaching is the same: results-driven, but human. We meet you where you are, not where a fitness magazine thinks you should be.
Fitting training around real life in Arnold
We know making a change is genuinely hard. Life is busy, motivation comes and goes, and the gap between wanting to get fitter and actually doing it can feel enormous. That's why we keep things practical.
We're open 6am to 8pm on weekdays, so you can train before work, on your lunch break if you're in the city centre, or on your way home to Arnold in the evening. Saturdays we're open 7am to 12pm for anyone who prefers a weekend session. Your personal trainer will help you find a rhythm that fits your actual life, not an idealised version of it.
Start with the 30-Day Trial
If you've been putting this off, the 30-Day Trial is the easiest way to find out whether RB5 is right for you. It gives you a proper chance to experience the coaching, meet the community and see how you feel training somewhere that genuinely wants you to succeed.
No hard sell, no pressure. Come as you are, and let's see what you're capable of. Members from Arnold and across Nottingham have started exactly where you are now, and the only thing they tend to regret is not starting sooner.

What does the 30-Day Trial involve?
