One-to-one private appointments are also available. These last for one hour and are priced at £25 per session or ten sessions for £200.

Happy customer feedback!
Larry, aged 75, said of joining the gym...
“After a lifetime of back and hip problems, and more recently COPD, I was using a wheelchair regularly. I was apprehensive (about joining) at first but my concerns were completely unfounded. A more gentle, compassionate, and capable professional I could not have hoped to meet. As my time at the gym increased, my mobility, balance and strength have improved dramatically, and it has greatly enabled confidence in my future. I can’t thank the team enough.”
Another member, Sylvia aged 69, joined the gym to improve her fitness levels and balance, to lose weight, and to keep up with her grandchildren. She said...
“I broke down crying when first speaking to my Personal Trainer. I was experiencing problems with my balance, and had fallen a few times - the last time fracturing my kneecap. I was also overweight, and didn't have the strength to get myself both out of the pool or negotiate the steps. The PT really listened to me, and I booked a session which led to courses of very worthwhile, tailored sessions specifically for my needs. I am so much more confident in myself now. I have lost 22 pounds in weight, my clothes fit better, and overall, I’m a lot stronger than before. I feel the need to share my story and hope that many people will pluck up the courage and join the gym to reap the benefits for themselves.”
