Welcome visitor,

We are an independent health and fitness organisation. Our Centre in Coventry serves the local community and is dedicated to offering effective fitness regimes, both on or off site, combined with personal care and attention.

The Centre had a well deserved reputation for excellence in Martial Arts , in particular Judo , having evolved from an Academy previously owned and run by Neil Adams (twice World Champion and Double Olympic Silver Medallist).

There is a well equipped gymnasium with the latest Johnson Cardio equipment run on a strict "no mirror, no Lycra - just results" ethos. The "dojo" provides a studio space with a low impact floor for a variety of classes / circuits. Several personal trainers offer a "bespoke" service for people with specialist requirements, such as rehabilitation , training , etc for a particular sport or job or who simply need motivation.

We welcome children and teenagers to their own beginner thru' elite Martial Arts classes or to the Teen Gym . The new Judo Plus courses will include additional crucial advice and skills for young people. Youngsters who want to have the "edge" in their chosen sport through a superior level of fitness can opt for our Effective High Performance courses. A new course is available for overweight young people to improve their fitness and confidence.

Seminars are run regularly on a variety of topics such as assertiveness / confidence building, Self Defence , Medical Rehabilitation (heart / arthritis) and Life Coaching. Continued 'One to One' Counselling on all of these topics is also provided.

( Seasonal courses such as fitness for skiing and children's school holiday activities are also available )

“I have been a member of Effective Fitness for 16 years. I really enjoy spending time in the gym.

We have some good equipment and the personal trainers are excellent. There is a great atmosphere and the people are friendly. During my time here I have met some great people who have become good friends. It’s not just about working out but there is a great social side too!”

“I joined Effective Fitness overweight, unfit and suffering with pain in my hips and knees. I attended 3 or 4 times a week for between ¾ to one hour, using the gym equipment I followed a gentle routine that had been planned for me personally taking into account my level of fitness and the discomfort I was experiencing in my joints.

Over a short period of time I felt able to increase the level of exercise and within twelve weeks I had lost 10lbs. A massive achievement for someone who is a serial dieter, with no real results!

I’ve still got weight to lose but I no longer wake in the night with aching joints and I feel I’m beginning to look better!

Staff at Effective Fitness are really pleasant, friendly and helpful. As for me I’m looking forward to the summer and a new wardrobe.”

So far i have been to three Mick Coup seminars held at Effective Fitness and have never felt dis-satisfied. I travel from the North East of England and it takes about 3 hours each way. Let me just say that every mile traveled is well worth it.

I'll start off by saying how friendly the staff from Effective Fitness are, they're more then helpful from greeting you, to sharing facilities. I've been to some seminars held at private gyms and they're not welcoming at all.

‘Before joining Effective Fitness I was 21½ stone, six stone overweight. Within a month of joining I managed to lose a massive 1½ stone and by six weeks I had lost a further 10lb. I have now been a member for 6 months and have lost around 5 stone. If you are committed, the six week plan can work for you too’
