Our Experience
We have worked on numerous movies, supporting actors, directors, producers, stunt performers, costume, hair, makeup and more, and we understand that the film industry can be tough, with very demanding schedules.
It is not uncommon for us to hear stories of physical and mental deterioration, perhaps even “burn out” as a result of the intense nature of film work. We see people passionately battling through a movie, often sacrificing their health for the sake of that production; only to fall ill during or immediately after the production has finished.
Whilst this seems to be common we do not think this is normal. It is our role to change this, and to help you feel as good or better when you finish a production as when you began.

ACTOR
“Fit For Films are amazing. Their holistic approach, range and depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and clarity and simplicity of methods make them a brilliantly effective guide in any process of body transformation.”
Bennett McGhee
PRODUCER
“Fit For Films were great to work with. The preparation, execution and after care were always sensitively and professionally handled as well as spelt out in as much detail as needed so that all engaged felt reassured and comfortable with the process of changing physical states in a short space of time. The results were fantastic and I look forward to working with them on many more projects to com.”
Finn Wittrock
ACTOR
“Fit For Films was absolutely crucial to nearly every member of the cast of Unbroken. We all had to achieve an emaciated look for the film, while still maintaining the energy to act for months of 12-plus hour days.”
How does it work?
Your first point of reference is Fit For Films Director and Functional Medicine Practitioner Steve Grant. Steve offers the ability for you to discuss your needs for your next or current movie production. At this point we can establish your goals and expectations and discuss how we intend to meet these.
You and/or your team will then undergo a thorough health, nutrition and lifestyle assessment. Where necessary specific lab tests will help to determine your current state of health, and areas of consideration will be discussed.
We then plan out the support we think you might need to help you on this journey. Instead of health professionals sitting around on set all day we aim to provide access to experts on a flexible basis, with the ability for them to come into the film studios and work with you at a time that suits you. We will then liaise with you or members of your team to arrange appointments and to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.
By working this way we keep costs down for you whilst still giving you regular and focused access to experts in their fields such as nutritionists, functional medicine practitioners, osteopaths, physiotherapists, doctors, mindfulness and meditation, coaching, catering, food delivery services, exercise and physique specialists and more.
