Where the work comes from

Why introductions flow for a personal trainer

Your best referrals don’t often come from cold advertising. Instead, they come from people who already talk to busy professionals and people returning to fitness – often right at a new year, a wedding or a doctor’s warning. That’s why physiotherapists, chiropractors and sports therapists make natural referral partners for every personal trainer, in Ongar or anywhere in Essex.

Getting there from Ongar

Ongar is a historic market town with a long, independent High Street, the Epping Ongar heritage railway and, close by, Greensted’s church, said to be the oldest wooden church in the world.
Ongar is about 15 minutes from the meeting along the A128.
By train: Ongar has no mainline station, so most members drive in; Brentwood and Shenfield stations are the nearest.

How our meetings work

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day gets going. Every week you get at least a minute to tell the room about your business – far more than many other networking groups allow. Outside the meeting, you’ll book one-to-one catch-ups to understand what each other is looking for, and there’s a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Keeping it affordable

Visiting is free. If you’d like to join, all fees can be paid monthly, and there’s a 6-month trial option to start with, which keeps it affordable for newer businesses.

Questions

Does the personal trainer have to be based in Ongar?

Not at all. Our members come from across Essex, so a great personal trainer nearby is worth recommending.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

Not at all. Visiting costs nothing, with no pressure to sign up. Join us one Thursday, see how the meeting runs and decide for yourself.
