What Entrepreneurs Say About

Guy Littlejohn
Founder
Hi, I'm Guy. In 2025, I shut down my Consultancy Business to start Function and it's honestly been one of the best journeys of my life. We're a growing group of Founders and Business Owners who train together, sweat together, and actually talk about the things that matter. There's so much more to come and I'm excited to keep building it across the region. Come and see what it's all about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Function for?
Function is for anyone who owns a Business and is looking to combine networking and fitness. All events are held in Greater Manchester or Cheshire so travel to the two regions is essential for anyone who wants to become an active member to ensure you get the best out of the network.
What happens on the Discovery Call?
This is a short meet and greet session where I can learn more about you and your goals for the upcoming 6 - 12 months. We encourage everyone to attend atleast two events before joining as a member so you have an opportunity to meet current members and make sure Function is right for you.
What actually happens at a Function event?
A Function event is a group of Founders and Business Owners, coming together in person to do a workout and talk about life / business. Some events are for example, a HIIT class, some we meet for Sauna & Ice, some padel, some runs. All are different - what remains the same is the calibre of people and the openness which comes from meeting outside of the office environment.
Do I need to be a certain level of fitness to join Function?
All levels are welcome and we proactively, mix up the events to suit our members needs. Some are very active and enjoy the HIIT classes, some are not so active and enjoy the spa days, sauna & ice trips or peer to peer breakfast events. We also have an inhouse PT for anyone looking to improve their fitness in any area.
