We believe. You achieve.

Bello Fitness exists to get Londoners who are out of work into fitness careers, using funding that means the training costs them nothing.

Seve's story

Nearly a decade ago, Seve Bello was offered a funded fitness course through a job centre. It changed the direction of his life, and he has spent the years since handing that same chance to others.

He founded Bello Fitness to support people referred by job centres: learners on benefits, people changing careers, and people with barriers to employment, including those who have been through the criminal justice system. Funding from job centres, local councils, colleges and charities means learners pay nothing.

The goal is bigger than a qualification. We mentor learners through the course, arrange guaranteed interviews with leading gyms, share candidates with recruitment teams at gyms like PureGym, and stay in touch until people are working.
