The Butterfly Factory is an independent fitness centre launched this year by Maija Bissett, a professional nutritional consultant and personal trainer. Located in the iCentre on Howard Way, Newport Pagnell. 

The Butterfly Factory’s philosophy is what sets it apart from traditional gyms. “We are passionate about health and wellbeing, as well as fitness,” says Maija. “We believe that wellbeing begins from within and radiates outwards.” 

A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing

Rather than just focussing on exercise, The Butterfly Factory sees health and wellbeing as a lifestyle choice and offers holistic support to its local customers. They create a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for those who want to better themselves, whether that’s wanting to run for longer, change up your training or simply understand how food impacts your body.

Exercise at The Butterfly Factory isn’t just to lose weight, or to bulk up on muscle - it’s to help you achieve your potential. “That should be the ultimate goal of any training program.” The important thing, according to Maija, is that your plan is tailored just to you. “There isn’t one best training program for everyone, there are better choices for you based on your goals and needs.” 

Training for Warriors 

 An exciting new addition to The Butterfly Factory’s training programme is Training for Warriors; recently launched as part of their fitness package.

Training for Warriors is a programme that’s both a fitness and lifestyle guide, designed to help people find their own way to their ideal wellbeing level. As well as receiving dedicated coaching to develop your body, the programme develops your mind and psychological attitude towards health and wellbeing. “We define warrior as anyone that is prepared to work hard and develop. Students learn valuable lessons in mastery, discipline and self motivation and apply them to fitness!”

The programme combines The Butterfly Factory’s focus on mental and physical well being and this effective combination promises to produce some powerful results.
