About Us
HG FIT was originally born Hot Gates cross-fit, however, in 2020 rebranded to HG FIT. HG FIT is a well-established, independent functional fitness gym (known as a 'box'), based in Kempston just outside of the heart of Bedford's city centre. The central location makes this gym perfect for anyone living or working in Bedfordshire, or surrounding areas such as Milton Keynes and Luton. Our location makes the gym accessible for those who travel by public transport but still allows us space away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city centre, especially during summer where some of our workouts take place outside.
Our vision for HG FIT is to be the best independent functional fitness gym in Bedfordshire and we do this by creating a competitive, fun, and engaging place to train. We pride ourselves on the community we have built and we guarantee you'll never be short of a workout partner. Our coaches strive to inspire and teach challenging and progressive workouts. We ensure that we have created an environment at HG FIT where every athlete is given the tools and training to achieve their fitness goals.

I have my CrossFit L3 qualifications, as well as British Weight Lifting L1 and L2.

COACH TOM
I was instantly crazy about the energy of the first class I took at HG FIT and how friendly everyone was. I love functional fitness because there’s so much to learn and the workouts are always challenging and engaging, which makes you work even harder.
