About Any1 Active

How We Started

Craig Porritt is the founder of Any1 Active. Professionally accredited Level 2 in Fitness Instructing & Level 3 in Personal Training. Fitness is a passion he made a part of his everyday life, eventually turning this pastime into his profession. For him, fitness was a tool to not only improve his physical health; but also supporting his mental health and well-being.
 
Craig worked as a fitness instructor for a national gym chain. From there, he went on to open his own Functional Fitness Studio based in Middlesbrough, Riverside Business Park. His mission is to create a community to support you becoming active. Whether you’re someone who is new to fitness, or experienced and wants to be pushed to the next level of your fitness journey. 

What You Can Expect

Craig wanted to create an environment to support his customers, especially for those who avoid gyms, as the idea of stepping into that type of environment makes them feel overwhelmed. He believes that ‘Any1’ can be ‘Active’, once they are given the right guidance and support within the right environment. He has been through a similar journey to his customers in the past, all too aware of what it’s like to feel out of shape, to struggle with confidence, and to fear judgment. Any1 Active is not just another gym; we’re a community. Our trainers guide you through the process with a personal understanding of the pressure and fears we face, supporting you with both the physical and mental aspects of your transformation.
