A Bit About AinyFit and Me, Alison Fry

Hi, I’m Alison Fry - Founder of AinyFit Ltd and a very happy Fitness Instructor!

I’m Mum to three gorgeous grown-up children, married to the most amazing man, and lucky enough to do a job I genuinely love every single day.

A few things about me 💛

Things I love:

My wonderful family
summer sunshine
the south of France
a good red wine
curling up with my Kindle
music (especially the best rock band in the world — Scorpions — and the incredible Mika)
a legendary Saturday Feast cooked by my husband
relaxing with TV favourites
I also love walking, cycling, exploring new places — and of course every single member of my classes, past and present.

Things I don’t love quite so much:

winter… winter… and winter 😄
clothes shopping
housework
gardening
broccoli
bananas
daytime and reality TV
and yes — winter. Again.

How my fitness journey began 💃

My fitness story started in 2011, when I went along to a Zumba class simply for “something to do on a Friday evening” — after receiving a leaflet through my door and not even knowing what Zumba was! I quickly fell in love with it and became great friends with my instructor, who encouraged me to train as an instructor myself. I took the leap and I’ve never looked back.

The following year, with the support of two wonderful fitpro friends, I gained my ETM qualification. I strongly believe that anyone teaching fitness should be properly qualified and trained, ensuring classes are safe, structured, and enjoyable for everyone.

Growing, learning, and evolving 🧘‍♀️

In August 2015, I gained my Fitness Pilates certification so I could diversify my classes and give my participants more choice. I’m always keen to grow and develop, and I love keeping things fresh by training in new genres and ideas within the ever-changing fitness world.

Today, I specialise mainly in Fitness Pilates and DanceFIT, running well-established classes in and around Totton, Calmore, and Marchwood, near Southampton in Hampshire.

Why I do what I do 🌟

I love my work so much that after juggling two jobs for six years, I left my role as a pre-school practitioner to focus on fitness full-time. I formed AinyFit Ltd in May 2015, and I haven’t looked back since.

My aim is simple: To provide fun, friendly, non-judgemental, and inclusive classes where everyone feels welcome — whatever their age, ability, or fitness level — and leaves feeling happier, stronger, and more confident.
