Uplift Your Fitness

ABOUT US

Uplift Studio was created with one simple goal: to help people feel stronger, more confident, and genuinely supported on their fitness journey.

Founded by personal trainer Tom Billson, Uplift is more than just a gym. It’s a welcoming space built around progress, balance, and community. Whether you’re training 1:1, taking part in a small group session, or following one of our hybrid or online programs, everything we do is designed to make fitness work for your life, not the other way around.

After years of coaching hundreds of clients across Kent, Tom wanted to create a place that combined expert training with a positive, uplifting atmosphere. The result is Uplift Studio, a modern training space where everyone is encouraged to grow at their own pace and celebrate every win, big or small.

About

WHAT WE OFFER

We're going to be offering a wide range of services at Uplift Studio, where there'll be something for everyone! Below are just a few of what we'll be starting with!

1:1 Personal Training

Tailored sessions designed around you. Whether you’re lifting for the first time or refining your strength and technique, every session focuses on progress that fits your pace and lifestyle. You’ll build confidence, improve form, and actually enjoy your training again.

Hybrid + Online Coaching

Our coaching programs are built to fit real life. Giving you structure, accountability, and results without needing to live in the gym.

The Hybrid Program blends in-person sessions with app-based training, nutrition support, and weekly check-ins, so you stay focused both inside and outside the studio.

Our Online Coaching gives you the same guidance and accountability, full training plans, progress tracking, and direct coach access wherever you are.

Classes + Workshops

Train together, grow together. Our small group classes are built around strength, confidence, and community, giving you expert coaching in an upbeat, supportive environment.

Alongside regular classes, we run workshops that dive deeper into topics like lifting technique, nutrition, mindset, and recovery. Helping you understand your body and training on a whole new level.

Training in a class doesn’t mean watered-down coaching. At Uplift Studio, classes are structured, intentional, and designed to get real results.

Our weekly classes include:

🏋️‍♀️ Ladies That Lift
Strength training in a supportive environment, build confidence, learn how to lift properly, and feel strong without intimidation.

🔥 Circuits
Full-body sessions to improve fitness, strength, and conditioning, efficient, challenging, and scalable for all levels.

🦵Lower Body Sculpt
A targeted class to strengthen and shape the legs and glutes with controlled, effective movements. Expect a strong burn, improved stability, and a confident finish!

🧘‍♀️ Yoga
Improve mobility, flexibility, recovery, and stress levels, the perfect balance to strength and conditioning work.

Class pricing:
Classes are £7.50 pay as you go, or £75 every 4 weeks on a class membership.

Why the membership is the better option:

• Early priority booking:
Members get first access to class bookings before pay-as-you-go spaces are released.

• Guaranteed routine:
You’ve got regular sessions locked in, which makes staying consistent far easier.

• Better long-term value:
If you train regularly, membership works out far better than booking one-off sessions.

• Community feel:
Train with familiar faces each week and build confidence in a supportive environment.

Classes at Uplift aren’t about just sweating for the sake of it. They’re about getting stronger, moving better, and enjoying training again.

If you want structure, consistency, and priority access, the class membership is for you! Drop us a message to find out more and say you’re interested!

A proper intro for anyone new here 👋

I’m Tom, a personal trainer based in Kent, and I’ve been doing this for just over 8 years. I work with people who want to get stronger, fitter, and feel more confident without turning their whole life upside down.

Most of my coaching is about building routines that actually stick. Training that fits around work, family, and everything else going on, not something you dread or burn out from after a few weeks.

I work mainly with people who want a bit of structure, accountability, and support, whether that’s in-person training or a more flexible setup alongside it.

If you’ve been here a while, thanks for sticking with me. If you’re new, welcome. And if you’ve been thinking about getting started let’s get you going in Uplift Studio!

#personaltrainer #staplehurst #upliftstudio

Things are starting to feel real now…

Shower and toilet, DONE.
Mirrors, DELIVERED and ready to go up.
Founding Member sweatshirts, finally in hand.
And all the equipment I’ve got so far… moved in 💪

Quick reminder, the Founding Member offer is LIVE 🚨
That’s how you lock in your spot, your rate, and yes, that’s how you get one of these sweatshirts too.

From an empty unit to something that actually looks and feels like a proper training space. Still plenty to do, but this week was a big one.

If you’re thinking about it, now’s the time..

Episode 3, we’re getting there!

Plumber’s been in, shower going in, toilet moved, the unglamorous but essential stuff that turns four walls into a proper studio.

On top of that, the PT uniform has landed, another piece of the vision becoming real. Still a long way to go, but this is progress stacking up.

#upliftstudio #studiobuild #staplehurst

Week 2 on the build and it’s really starting to come together 👀

Walls are almost finished, fresh paint everywhere, and the alley out the back now has proper lighting installed. Small details, big difference.

This is the part where it stops feeling like an empty unit and starts feeling like a studio. Still plenty to do, but the vision’s becoming real now.

#UpliftStudio #PTStudioBuild #StaplehurstFitness

Day one and there’s no shortcuts!

This is the very start of building Uplift Studio, from bare walls to a space built with intent.

I’m documenting the whole process, the graft, the decisions, the wins, and the setbacks, so you can see exactly how this place comes to life.

This is episode one. Plenty more to come over the next few weeks before opening!

#UpliftStudio #BuildingInPublic #StaplehurstFitness

Here it is… the official opening weekend for Uplift Studio!

On 31st January and 1st February, the doors will finally be open for you to come in, wander around the space, ask anything you want, and actually see what we’ve been building.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to join, this is it.

We’ll be signing up Founding Members over the weekend if there are still spaces left, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Make sure you’ve joined the email list through the link in our bio to be first notified on when these spots first become available (there’ll only be 50 of them!)

Come down, meet us, see the studio, feel the vibe, and get yourself set for a strong 2026.

Let’s make this place the home for your training!

See you there 👊

#upliftstudio #staplehurstfitness #staplehurst

We’ve quietly started our countdown to opening!

Opening date is secured.

Location, nearly ready to announce

Uplift Studio is coming early 2026, and you’re going to want to be here from day one…

Make sure you’re on the pre-sale list in our bio to be one of those first!

#upliftstudio #staplehurstfitness #personaltraining

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster behind the scenes lately, but one thing’s for sure: Uplift Studio is still coming…

I’ve had a few people asking when doors will open, and while the plan was to launch sooner, it’s now looking more like end of January or early February.

There’s still a lot happening though. The equipment’s being finalised, the space is coming together, and the team is quietly growing behind the scenes 👀

It might be taking longer than planned, but I’d rather do it right than rush it.

Big things are coming. New faces, new energy, and the same community feel that’s always been at the heart of everything I do.

If you’re local and want to be one of the first to train here when we open, keep an eye out. We’ll be dropping a few early access spots before launch 💪

I’ve coached hundreds of people over the years...

But one thing has always stuck out, something was missing. A space that actually feels like home.

Not a gym full of mirrors and ego. Not a place that makes you feel small.

That’s what I’m building with Uplift Studio. A space built around you, not the numbers. Where training feels kind, progress feels earned, and the environment lifts you, not gives you anxiety going in.

The goal isn’t just fitness.
It’s confidence, consistency, and community.

If that sounds like your kind of place, you’ll want to keep watching this space and join our waiting list in the bio!

If you’ve been following this journey, now’s the time to get involved, this is where the community starts.

What will we offer at Uplift Studio?

From 1-1 Personal Training and small group classes, to hybrid and online coaching, and even community events, Uplift Studio is more than a generic warehouse gym.

It’s a space to feel confident, strong, supported and celebrate you being the best you can be!

Which one are you most excited for? 👇

Early Concept Art!

Here’s the very first look at how Uplift Studio could look when the doors open in Staplehurst. This sketch-style concept shows the vision coming to life with our boutique design, premium equipment, and a space built for strength, confidence, and community.

From day one, we knew Uplift had to feel different. Too many gyms are dark, cramped, and even a bit dirty. The kind of place you just want to get in and out of.

Uplift will be the opposite: light, clean, and welcoming. A space that lifts your mood the moment you step through the door.

This is just the start, but we’re building something special here!

P.s. Founding Member spots will be announced soon, which will be limited spaces with lifetime pricing.

Join the waiting list now through the link in bio to be first in line.
