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.
Riz Ahmed - 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.”
Fit For Films is well established in the film industry for its role in supporting actors, directors, producers, stunt performers and other crew members. Helping them look, perform and function at their physical and mental peak.

After his successful competitive acrobatic Career, Dave went straight into performing and has never looked back in the career that is now spanning over 18 years.
He has been a professional Stunt Performer for nearly a decade and you will have no doubt seen him on screen being set on Fire by Khaleesi’s dragons in Game of Thrones and as a Stormtrooper in the recent Star Wars movie.
Dave has also doubled for some of cinemas biggest stars including Jonny Depp, Michael Fassbender, Colin Farrell, Ewan Mcgregor and Sam Claflin. This gives Dave the unique insight into the film industry and the demands it has on the stunt performers to stay in good shape, acquire skills and stay focused so they can perform the stunts for the people you love.

Andy Pilgrim - Stunt Performer
“After multiple breaks in my tibia and fibula, having an operation where smashed up cartilage was removed from my ankle and 19 pins speared through my leg to scaffold my bones I knew pretty much straight away that the jam sandwiches on offer in the hospital ward weren’t going to get me fixed any time soon. I needed to get back to work and that would only happen after some serious bone growth… Enter Fit For Films who advised me on the best food choices for inflammation and healing and top quality supplement choices to speed up recovery. They were both empathetic and extremely knowledgeable to my case and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any nutritional needs that I have.”
