About Us
Barnes Fitness is an independent group exercise, triathlon coaching and sports events management consultancy owned and managed by us, wife and husband team Ellie Barnes and Ian Gosling.
We’ve both always led active lives and we’re passionate about sharing our enjoyment of sport, fitness and the outdoors with others, which we now do through Barnes Fitness, offering individual and group training and organising events for runners, triathlete, duathletes and swimmers.
Running first brought us together — we met through Reading Roadrunners in 2008 and since then we’ve both been representing the club at local and national level, as well as coaching fellow members and marshalling at events.
And it was experiencing so many running, triathlon, duathlon and swimming races that inspired us to develop the Barnes Fitness Sports Events, taking all the best bits from everywhere we’ve been and creating friendly, welcoming challenges open to all.
