Built on standards.
Built for training.
Family-run, independently owned, obsessed with quality. No chain. No compromise.
A gym run by people who genuinely care about getting it right
RP Fitness was built around a straightforward belief: that standards matter. Not just the equipment you train on, but the atmosphere you train in, the cleanliness of the space, the way members treat each other, the feeling you get every time you walk through the door.
We're not part of a chain. There's no head office cutting costs to hit a quarterly target. When something needs improving, we improve it, because this is our gym and we genuinely care about it.
The result is a relaxed, well-maintained space where members of every fitness level train alongside each other. No ego, no pressure, just people showing up, putting in the work, and getting on with it.
What you can expect
Everything we offer is maintained to the same standard as the day it was installed.
Why members stay
"After previously training at the PureGym in Cambridge and 1 session at the Gym Group I transferred over to RP Fitness. The membership price is more but you certainly get value for that extra investment. Very refreshing not having to always wait around to get on a piece of kit."
"Absolutely blown away. Had heard about RP a few times but didn't believe the hype — decided to give it a go and it's wonderful. Clean, well maintained equipment, everything you could need for both cardio and weights, and a private car park with 24/7 access. I'm happy I made the switch."
"One of the best gyms I've ever been to. Super clean and well-maintained premium equipment. Great experience every time. And everyone is respectful. Recommend!"
"The best gym in Cambridge. I should have joined a long time ago. Great equipment and never too busy during peak hours. The gym is clean, with the weights and overall equipment always in order."
Where it started.
Why it still matters.
Brothers Richard and James Patman started training in their parents' shed. The kit was basic, the space was small, but they'd invite mates over, train together, and spend hours just enjoying it. The company, the banter, the shared effort. That was the point.
That spirit is what RP Fitness was built to recreate at a proper scale. In 2015 they took the risk on a large Cambridge warehouse and built the gym they'd always wanted: two floors of serious, well-chosen kit covering free weights, strength, cardio, functional training, a studio and HIIT, all maintained to a standard they could be proud of.
More than a decade on, Richard and James are still hands-on, still reinvesting, and still raising the bar. The shed is a distant memory. The drive behind it never went away.
