Having never stepped foot in a gym before I am a total novice. With a long journey ahead of me to get where I want and need to be physically, I know I have made one of the best decisions of my life in joining. I was nervous to start but the coaches are amazing and every single one of them have put me at ease as well as making sure I'm doing things safely while I'm getting a sweat on. Exercises are adapted depending on your strengths and they are all planned ahead of you arriving so all you have to do is turn up and do what your told. Each session is different so there is no chance of getting bored. There is lots of help and direction with nutrition and handy apps to keep you on track with the food side of things, which is amazing for me after years of yoyo dieting. There are people from all walks of life there and everyone is so friendly. It is a hidden treasure and my only regret is not joining sooner. Absolutely love it. Less

Real Life Fitness is hands down the best gym I’ve been a member of. Having relocated to the area a few years ago I found it hard to get into a rhythm and find like minded people. However, as soon as I walked through the door of RLF I knew this was different to all the other gyms. Not only have I seen real results from the programmes they run, but even more importantly I’ve found a family. That sounds cheesy but trust me, it’s an amazing place to train and make some great friends. Mike and the team are fantastic and have created something special here. Less

Excellent fitness space. Great vibe and very helpful and caring instructors/coaches. Enjoyed the small group training aspect and much better than a ‘conventional gym’. Coaches are great and a really supportive crowd of people all there for the same goal of improving and having a good time. Less

I've had a background when younger in team sport as well as Track and Field, so the world of the gym was not unfamiliar to me. The novelty - and real benefit - for me in Real Life Fitness is the input from the coaches. With maximum groups of 6 people with each coach, it's like having a personal trainer with the added bonus of working out with others. The expertise, enthusiasm and encouragement of the staff is excellent, as each individual is supported to work towards their personal fitness goals. The facilities and equipment are good, and the gym works hard and successfully at seeking to create an enjoyable community to be part of. It is not the cheapest gym available, but for me the cost represents extraordinary value for money. I am so glad my daughter and wife - both current members- encouraged me to get involved. Having just moved back to Cheltenham, it's been one of the best decisions I've made in recent years. Less

I’m not used to gyms but have been made to feel welcome - even at my low level of fitness! It’s challenging in a good way and the exercise is really tailored to me. Everyone is very friendly. Thank you - a great experience. Less

Working out and doing exercises was never something I enjoyed. I had completely stopped going to gym since 2019. However, ever since I joined RLF, I look forward to every session. The trainers are brilliant! They make you feel comfortable no matter what your experience and fitness level is. They are very knowledgeable and know how much to push you and also provide support if you have injuries. The vibe is amazing, very positive and friendly. Thanks to RLF and all the trainers, I love how I feel physically and mentally every day. I look forward to achieving my fitness goals with their guidance. Less
