When I started at SF Fitness 8 months ago I was not in great physical shape. I had persistent shoulder pain due to an operation 10 years ago. I was also nervous having not been in a gym for years. John started me on a very gentle programme and literally within 3 weeks my shoulder pain was gone and I was feeling stronger and more energetic. My programme has progressed in leaps and bounds, and this is the best thing about SF - measurable progress. Apart from the improvement in muscle tone, I have also managed to lose 8kg in weight. While this was not my main objective (which was to feel stronger and more flexible) the weight loss has been a massive boost to my confidence and has made me feel 10 years younger. Thank you so much John, Sue, Dave and Alex. Less

Gym is rundown, roof leaking, toilets not serviced and cleaned, music coming from a tiny domestic stereo in one corner. Poorly lit throughout. Hands on trainers do the best they can in poor conditions. Not sure if place is appropriate for gym use at all.

What can I say. Lovely place trainers Alan John and Karl make you feel welcome and I never thought I could do it but it’s thanks to those guys.been in my late sixties I was made to feel that it makes no difference as to ability age etc. thank you lots for giving me the confidence.

I’m always so well looked after at SF Fitness- The coaches are so involved and interested and the owner John’s programming is first class. It’s tailored to my exact needs and wants and a few weeks in I’m seeing serious improvements. I can’t recommend them enough. 🙌🏻

From the moment I joined, I have found the trainers incredibly professional, friendly, approachable and so well informed with regard to fitness, training programs and general health both physical & mental. It has been such a refreshing change to past gym experiences & a place where I’ve meet the nicest, most genuinely friendly people! It’s a time that i look forward to, really enjoy when I’m there and feel great when I come out! It’s a win win from me!! Less

I joined SF Fitness over four years ago and it was the best decision I could have made for both my physical and mental health.

I joined SF Fitness over four years ago and it was the best decision I could have made for both my physical and mental health. Following a hip replacement, I was left with a lot of muscle loss, a lack of balance and had lost confidence in the strength of my body. Walking and going to a gym myself only got me so far and I knew I needed more direction. John, Ruth and all the team at SF Fitness have been amazing in their encouragement and commitment to all their members. I always feel I am in safe hands and we have great fun as well. The banter is a big part of the experience and you really do feel like you are a part of a family. This was particularly true during lockdown when our training sessions went online and we could borrow equipment from the gym to keep us going. One of my main goals in going to SF Fitness is to ensure that my body is as strong as it can be as I get older. Knowing that I am expected in the gym at a specific time with a trainer waiting for me ensures that I turn up and even on my most tired days, within minutes, I know that it is totally worth it. SF Fitness has definitely worked for me and I would highly recommend trying it out. Less

Having always felt ‘out of place’ and incompetent when it came to gyms, I am so grateful that I disvovered SF Fitness when I did!

Having always felt ‘out of place’ and incompetent when it came to gyms, I am so grateful that I disvovered SF Fitness when I did! From day one, they exuded a personable, warm, ‘You CAN’ attitude … and starting as a total beginner, I was made to feel confident and able from the minute I stepped inside the door. My programme was tailored to me, and the repetition of the workouts soon gave me confidence. The 1-1 guidance and company during each session is brilliant. There is always a coach on hand to correct your movement or increase the challenge etc! There’s a lovely sense of encouragement, support (music and chat too!) as you work through your session. There are no gym - bunnies posing for selfies … just real people, all in the same boat, on a consistent fitness journey! I would highly recommend SF Fitness - they are great at what they do. Happy client here! Less

I had tried gyms before but left feeling deflated and sometimes intimidated. I came across SF Fitness and thought why not give it a go! I haven’t looked back! The coaches look out for you and provide so much encouragement. The atmosphere is lovely and for the first time in my life I actually enjoy going to the gym! Sessions are booked in advance which is a big motivator for me. Don’t hesitate to check out the gym. You won’t regret it ☺️ Less

You get your initial programme which is regularly reviewed to meet your needs so you always feel you are progressing and building on your achievements. The benefits of being a member, for me, are many. I now have a healthy relationship with food, yo-yo dieting is a distant memory. I am stronger than I would ever have thought possible. The atmosphere at the gym is one of friendship and support. I see my sessions at SF Fitness as an investment in me and my future good health. If you are stuck in a rut, like I was, I highly recommend booking a complimentary session at SF Fitness. It could change your life. Less

I have osteoporosis in my spine and hips, and two wonky shoulders ( “No Spring chicken there “, I hear you say………and you’d be dead right).

I have osteoporosis in my spine and hips, and two wonky shoulders ( “No Spring chicken there “, I hear you say………and you’d be dead right). However, I joined SF Fitness early 2019 and I can safely say I’m a new(ish) woman! My personal programme which John and his team devised for me is about strengthening my joints and body. They “up the ante” every 5/6 weeks when they (and I) feel I’m ready and able so my aches and pains/ stiffness are a thing of the past. I honestly feel better than I did 20 years ago. Slow and steady is the motto in SF. There is a trainer/coach beside you on the floor at ALL times to ensure you know exactly what you should be doing…..and doing it correctly and effectively, therefore gaining the very best results from your efforts. They’re also very encouraging! (C’mon, you can do 2 more…..just 2 more) Easy for them to say!! Now that we all have to be COVID-wary, the system in SF is, I feel, very safe. On arrival, we sanitise our hands and take our temperature. Then everyone is in a marked -out pod of their own. All equipment is sanitised before and after you use it and all the coaches wear masks. This is a gem of a little “not a gym” Gym and if you want to make a very worthwhile investment…….in YOURSELF, I would highly recommend giving SF a try. I think you’ll find you’ll be staying! Since the very beginning, I have never felt out of place or unwelcome. Gyms can be a bit daunting but not this one. Less

I had joined many gyms over the years but never felt the accountability to go, I started to put on weight and knew I needed to change something - but I needed help! SF Fitness was the answer I needed - they made me accountable to attend,booking in sessions each week that suited my work/life balance, created a training plan that I could handle and talked me through the nutrition aspect of maintaining a certain weight. The trainers are professional and qualified, are there at every session to guide you through each excercise and answer any questions you have. There are only 6-8 people during any session so it is not an intimidating gym and there are people there of all shapes and sizes! It worked for me, why not try out a free trial and see if it works for you! Dave Less

I love the fact that your programme is unique to you and the encouraging approach by the coaches just keeps me focused.

I joined SF Fitness 3 years ago. I used to work out at several gyms in the past but over the years I let it slip. Then as I hit my 50s I decided to get back to some sort of fitness routine. I live only a 5 minute walk from the gym. I usually go 3 to 4 times a week for weights and heart rate training. I particularly like the fact that they change the routine every few weeks which keeps up my motivation. I have lost body fat since I joined and by booking my sessions every week it gives me a focus. They adapted to Covid-19 remarkably well and I am really glad they have managed to stay open. The pricing is reasonable given the high level of personal service and attention. I like the atmosphere. People are there to get fit. Less

Great attentive trainer.. Motivating. Really good to be a member of this gym.

Great choice to join this gym staff excellent

Love

Excellent coaches, knowledgeable and friendly. First time I've ever stuck at going to gym. Must be doing something right 👍

Joined SF Fitness middle of November ‘18. Despite Christmas and two holidays am losing body fat and building muscle. But most importantly as someone who has never been a member of a gym, I’m so impressed by the constant personal training and different routines. Trainers are professional friendly and encouraging. I’m very impressed.

Friendly coaches, personal attention, programmes tailored to suit your needs and abilities. Great place to train.

Great place, lovely fun people to train with, starts your day with that feel good factor, exercise and weight loss a bonus too!😍
