# Village Green Gym, Braintree
Village Green Gym is a fitness facility in Braintree offering specialised personal training and group fitness classes designed around the needs of busy people, particularly parents. Founded by trainer Lara, the gym has built a reputation for creating inclusive, judgement-free fitness experiences that adapt to individual circumstances and goals.
The business primarily serves parents with young children, offering innovative Buggy Fitness classes that allow clients to bring their babies along to workouts. This unique approach removes a significant barrier to exercise for new parents. Beyond this, Village Green Gym provides personalised one-to-one training with bespoke exercise plans, small group sessions for 2-4 people, and high-intensity Bootcamp classes combining cardio, weights and core work.
What sets Village Green Gym apart is Lara's genuine understanding of her clients' lives and constraints. Testimonials consistently highlight her professionalism, adaptability and caring approach—she tailors sessions for specific goals (like ski preparation) and modifies exercises for those managing clingy toddlers. The atmosphere is described as relaxed yet challenging, welcoming to all fitness levels whilst delivering real results.
The gym has expanded beyond Braintree to Saffron Walden (Debden Barn), suggesting strong local demand. Rather than following a generic gym model, Village Green Gym solves real problems for real people: enabling parents to maintain fitness without childcare barriers, offering flexible training options, and creating genuinely supportive communities around exercise.
