Personal training is the single fastest way to reach a fitness, body-composition, or martial-arts goal. Group classes are brilliant for community and consistency, but they are, by definition, built for the average of the room. One-to-one coaching is built for one person only — you. At Billingshurst Mixed Martial Arts Nova Forca, our personal training service brings together gym work, weight loss, muscle building, nutrition, martial-arts conditioning, and private Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing under one roof, right here in Billingshurst, West Sussex.
Why Personal Training Matters
The reason most people stall on their fitness journey is not a lack of effort — it is a lack of direction. Generic plans pulled from the internet do not account for your body, your injuries, your schedule, or the way your life actually works. A personal trainer removes the guesswork. Every session is planned with a purpose, every set and rep is there for a reason, and every week builds intelligently on the last. That structure is what turns effort into results, and it is the difference between training hard for months with nothing to show for it and seeing genuine, measurable change.
Accountability matters just as much as programming. Knowing someone is waiting for you, tracking your progress, and adjusting your plan is the single biggest factor in whether people stick with it. Our coaches keep you honest, celebrate the wins, and quietly course-correct the moment things drift. For busy people juggling work and family in and around Billingshurst, that structure is often the thing that makes consistency possible for the first time.
Gym, Weight Loss & Muscle Building
Whether your goal is to lose weight, build lean muscle, or simply feel stronger and more capable, we build a structured gym programme around exactly that. For weight loss, that means a smart mix of resistance training and conditioning that preserves muscle while stripping body fat — no endless, joyless cardio, no crash diets, just a sustainable approach you can actually live with. For muscle building, we focus on progressive overload on the compound lifts, clean technique, and a plan that adds weight and volume at the rate your body can recover. Every programme is scaled to your starting point, so a complete beginner and a seasoned lifter both get exactly the challenge they need.
Diet & Nutrition Plans
You cannot out-train a poor diet, which is why every personal training package at Nova Forca includes practical nutrition guidance. We do not hand you a fad diet or a list of foods you are never allowed to eat again. Instead, we build a realistic nutrition plan around real food, your tastes, and the reality of your week — including meals out, busy days, and family life. The focus is on sustainable habits: enough protein to recover and build muscle, the right energy balance for your goal, and a handful of simple habits that compound over time. The result is a way of eating that supports your training for the long term, not a four-week crash that rebounds the moment you stop.
Conditioning for Martial Arts
If you already train BJJ or kickboxing, or you want to, general gym fitness will only take you so far. Martial arts demand a specific kind of fitness: a deep gas tank for repeated explosive efforts, the mobility to move freely on the ground and on your feet, and the resilience to train hard without breaking down. Our sport-specific conditioning builds exactly that. We work on aerobic and anaerobic capacity, rotational and hip mobility, grip strength, and the explosive power that makes the difference in a scramble or a striking exchange. Whether you are preparing for a competition or just want to stop gassing out halfway through a roll, this is the conditioning that carries over onto the mat.
Private BJJ & Kickboxing Sessions
Sometimes the fastest route forward is one-to-one time with a coach. Our private Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions let you focus entirely on your game — deep-dive a position, fix a weak spot, or sharpen a competition game-plan with an expert eye on every detail. Private kickboxing classes are perfect if you want to learn to strike without the pressure of a group, build fitness with real technique, or work on self-defence at your own pace. Both are available to complete beginners and experienced martial artists alike, and both can be booked around your schedule here in Billingshurst.
Everything we offer — gym work, weight loss, muscle building, nutrition, martial-arts conditioning, and private BJJ and kickboxing — is delivered in person at our gym on the Billingshurst Industrial Estate, an easy drive from Horsham, Pulborough, Wisborough Green, and Petworth. Your first consultation is free, so you can meet the coach, talk through your goals, and leave with a clear plan before you commit to anything.
