EVOLVING FITNESS ACROSS
THE NORTH WEST
MEET THE FOUNDERS
FORM was founded in 2017 by Libby Smith and Ben Wood, who shared a vision to redefine the fitness experience. In an industry often seen as intimidating, they set out to create spaces that felt like a second home — welcoming, empowering, and focused on real, sustainable results. What began in Manchester as a space dedicated to personal coaching has since grown into a leading boutique fitness brand.
Today, FORM offers a diverse range of fitness and wellness experiences, from 1-2-1 personal training and small group sessions to mindful practices like yoga, pilates, and barre — all designed to help you thrive inside and outside the gym.
OUR EVOLUTION
MORE THAN JUST A GYM.
Driven by the founding vision to challenge the fitness industry and make a lasting impact, FORM has evolved into a multi-location boutique fitness brand. With thriving spaces in Manchester and Leeds, and plans to expand further across the North West, FORM continues to create dynamic, community-driven environments that prioritise long-term health and well-being.
Our RESET Studios in Manchester and Leeds offer calming spaces for yoga, pilates, and barre, helping you disconnect from daily stresses and reconnect with your body and mind. At our Riverside Gym in Manchester, you’ll find expert-led 1-2-1 personal training, small group personal training, and corporate well-being programmes — all designed to challenge and support you.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
FITNESS WITHOUT THE INTIMIDATION
At FORM, we believe fitness should be inclusive, empowering, and sustainable. Libby and Ben built FORM with a clear mission — to create spaces where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re pushing your limits in a group training session, focusing on personal goals with 1-2-1 coaching, or finding stillness in a RESET yoga class.
We focus on long-term, meaningful results that align with your lifestyle. It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about progress, confidence, and feeling your best in and out of the gym.
