Orbit4 has successfully completed an exhilarating 26-workout challenge in just 12 months, with their journey spanning from the south coast of Bournemouth to the hills of Perthshire in Scotland—and even to Sardinia, Italy!

The A-Z Fitness Challenge kicked off at the mighty V1be in Manchester, last April, with an action-packed Adrenal1ne class. With many amazing sessions in between, the challenge concluded on March 28th, 2025, at Cross-training Clitheroe with an intense DEKA session.
This nationwide (and international!) fitness adventure involved a diverse range of venues, including independent gyms, hotel gyms, private chains, and local authority Trusts. The initiative saw participants from all walks of life come together to champion fitness and well-being across the UK and beyond.

A Journey of Dedication and Passion
Daniel, founder of Orbit4, expressed his gratitude for everyone who helped make this monumental challenge possible: "A huge thanks to all those who supported the challenge - whether by taking part, hosting, or facilitating in any way. We’re deeply passionate about the fitness industry and the work we do to get the nation moving. It’s been a privilege to showcase the collective efforts of this incredible sector”. “A special thanks goes to Kev Forester, Orbit4 UK Business Development Manager who created the challenge and put so much energy behind the initiative”.

The Orbit4 team has certainly worked hard for this achievement, with a few aching bodies along the way, but the experience has been one of camaraderie and determination.

Industry Leaders Weigh In
The A-Z Fitness Challenge wouldn’t have been possible without the support and collaboration of fitness industry leaders across the UK. Here’s what some of them had to say about the initiative:

Andy Gill, Ethics Leisure:
"The Ethics Leisure team were proud to support the fantastic A-Z Fitness initiative by Orbit4, and it was a huge success with an outstanding turnout! We had an amazing time delivering our world-famous Total Gym Super Circuit workout. The teams from Brio, Orbit4, partners, and all participants were incredible. Our team put everyone through their paces, and they all completed the challenge brilliantly. Thank you for having us—we look forward to working with you again in the future!"

Tanya Hall, EGYM, said:
"It was great for EGYM to be featured in Orbit4's A-Z challenge, and we loved hosting Kev at Blackpool's Moorpark Leisure Centre. The challenge was an excellent way to showcase the many different ways people can train for better health."

Josh Costello, JD Gyms, said:
"Thanks a ton for choosing JD Gyms for the Orbit4 A-Z Fitness Challenge! It was amazing having you join our Bootcamp class in the new Hybrid Functional Zone at our flagship Wigan site. Kev and the JD Gyms team were put through their paces, making full use of the new kit we have on offer."

Simon Kilby, Third Space, said: “We were delighted to support Orbit 4 in their A-Z challenge. We welcomed Kev and Steve to our Clapham Junction club. Not only that, yet we managed to squeeze the Gents to attend a ‘Lift’ class with Will. We hope you had a blast!”

Global Fitness with Local Impact
Not only did the challenge span the length and breadth of the UK, but it also took Orbit4 overseas. In October 2024, a special session was held in beautiful Sardinia as part of the W3Fit event, where fitness enthusiasts gathered to celebrate health and wellness in an idyllic setting.
