Your Hitsona Congleton Coaches
Chris, owner
Owner and head coach at Hitsona Congleton. Chris’ mission is to help as many people as possible in Congleton and surrounding areas to exercise regularly.
“In my experience it’s time, motivation, belief and the right environment that are the main reasons people avoid exercise and Hitsona’s unique approach addresses all of these.”
Steve, coach
Laid back with a great sense of humour Steve always ensures that people leave with a smile
on their face – after they have got their breath back!
Steve has a great connection to the local community having previously played for Congleton
Town he currently helps run the reserve team as well as serving on the board.
Emma, coach
What better testament to Hitsona than to have one of our very own come through an epic health and fitness journey before deciding she would love to help others succeed?! Super committed in everything she does, Emma has been with us over 2 years and is now passing on the knowledge and experience she has acquired to ensure others can achieve their own personal goals.
Graham, coach
Brilliant at introducing new starters to exercise Graham also coaches at Congleton Harriers
helping people on their couch to 5k journey. A keen runner himself, it is not unusual for him to do over 100km in a weekend!
Favourite Workout: Snakes & Ladders, a fun twist on the board game – just stay away from
the snakes to avoid starting all over again!
Abi, coach
New to the team and also a qualified masseur, Abi was drawn to joining the Hitsona coaching team because it quickly became apparent to her that people of all ages and abilities could work out together. As a new mum herself, she appreciates how tough it can be getting back into exercise after taking some time out, so is on a mission to get help those who need our support.
Our Achievements at
Hitsona Congleton
We opened our doors in July 2020 and our founder member was Jan, who I am delighted to say is still with us 3 years later!
In 2022 we entered 3 teams into the Conquer Fitness Event that has 9 challenging stations across 8k and in 2023 this increased to 9 teams. 99% of the people who join us haven’t exercised in some time or at all, so it’s fantastic to see that they now have the confidence to give new things a try.
Having completed 2 Charity Fundraisers for local charities, including a marathon run & 1000 rep challenge, helped us raise nearly £2000. We have a 24 hour fundraiser planned for later this year and it’s great that our community can support the chosen charities of our studio members
Emma Brydges has been on a tremendous weight loss and fitness journey with us over the last 2 years and is in the process of becoming a Hitsona coach. Her achievements are amazing and I’m incredibly proud that her next steps will be helping fellow members achieve their goals.
I’m amazed that our members have helped create wonderful friendships. Our motto; big or small, old or young, fit or unfit, when you walk through our doors you’re one of us, sums it up perfectly.

No Mirrors, No Egos, No Posers, No Exceptions
We want all of our members to feel totally at home in our fitness studio in Congleton. So if you’re coming here to flex your muscles or show off your abs… you should maybe consider attending the local gym as we’re probably not best suited to you.

As we have taken a no egos approach to exercise, everyone can exercise together and all our members and coaches are friendly with a supportive attitude and at our Congleton studio and we pride ourselves on how different we are to the regular high street gym.
Our coaches are here to be your biggest cheerleaders in every workout you do and you won’t find any body builders or gym bunnies in our fitness facility.

3 Great Locations for Outdoor Exercise in Congleton
The Cloud
Wonderful views over the Cheshire Plain and beyond. This relatively short walk is really rewarding in terms of the wonderful views – and ascending from the Timbersbrook Car Park gives the opportunity for quite a workout in climbing the 136 steps up the steep side of the hill. It’s a good one for a summer evening after work or weekend with a picnic – plenty of flat rocks to sit on at the top!
Congleton Park
The impressive Victorian Park, complete with children’s play area, paths through the ancient Town Woods, river walks, ornamental gardens, bowling green, bandstand, toilets and Stock cafe & bar (sausage rolls to die for!) is just a five minute walk from the Congleton Town Centre! The park is owned by Cheshire East Council and maintained by the Streetscape team 365 days a year to make it look its best
Astbury Mere Country Park
Experience this 1.6-km circular trail near Congleton, Cheshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 25 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, running, and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. Dogs are welcome and may be off-lead in some areas.
