Navitas Fitness

Experienced personal trainer based in Bristol, known as Navitas Fitness. The name “Navitas” reflects the energy that movement should bring, rather than take away. Navitas Fitness aims to help individuals explore and restore their natural strength for the long-term, so that they feel strong, confident, and capable.

The training approach at Navitas Fitness revolves around shorter, focused sessions that deliver results. Simplicity is emphasised, with a focus on repeating and practising good quality movements that may be simple, but not necessarily easy. This approach allows clients to unlock their true potential and build a solid foundation of strength and mobility.

Navitas Fitness places a particular emphasis on connexion and foundations. Many people suffer from aches, pains, and mobility issues due to poor foundations, and Navitas Fitness seeks to address these issues through breath-work, groundwork, and core strength exercises. These elements are vital for improving long-term posture and mobility, enabling individuals to remain active and athletic.

Strength training is viewed as a skill at Navitas Fitness, rather than simply moving heavy weights from point A to point B. Kettlebell training is the primary approach employed, as it offers a uniquely powerful and versatile method of training. Kettlebells can be used to build strength, muscle, and mobility, all in one. Clients can train anywhere, making it a flexible and convenient option.

In addition to strength training, Navitas Fitness also recognises the importance of nutrition. With a strong background as a professional chef for 15 years, the personal trainer understands the impact that food can have on overall health and fitness. Clients who want to improve their diet can work with Navitas Fitness to develop strategies that align with their goals.

Navitas Fitness aims to deliver a range of results to clients. These include a more complete, lean, and athletic physique, improved work capacity and general physical preparedness for specific sports or occupational demands, and improved total health in terms of mobility, mood, energy, and sleep. The ultimate goal is for clients to empower themselves by understanding how to maintain, improve, and continue their practise beyond their sessions with Navitas Fitness.

Robbie Harrison, the founder of Navitas Fitness, has personal experiences that have shaped his approach to coaching. Having faced back pain, injuries, and the mentality of high-intensity training, Robbie understands the physical and mental toll these issues can have. Through his own journey, Robbie discovered the StrongFirst training certification, which helped him find passion, strength, and energy. Now, his goal is to guide others on a smarter path to strength, where individuals can feel strong without being destroyed after each session.

Robbie is a certified SFG2 kettlebell instructor from Strongfirst, which serves as the foundation for the training approach at Navitas Fitness. Their principles prioritise building form, function, strength, and resilience. Robbie is also a fully qualified and experienced personal trainer, equipped with the knowledge and skills to guide clients towards their fitness goals.

Navitas Fitness provides a unique and effective approach to personal training in Bristol. With a focus on strength, mobility, and nutrition, clients can expect to achieve a stronger, healthier, and more confident version of themselves.
