It’s a really good gym they have helped me correct my form and adjust my workouts when I need to. It’s a really good gym and set up.

Great trainers. Great people. Great atmosphere. Go through the door you won’t regret it. I have been going to fortitude since it opened and I love it, I’m not a super fit athlete I don’t do competitions I go simply to keep mobile and strong I’m 59 now and stronger than I’ve been for years, training is tailored to fit the individual so the only person you need to compete with is yourself and you will be supported by everyone no matter what level they are at. Walking in is the hardest part so take a deep breath and just do it .

The Best Gym I have exercised in. Have to say in all of my years of visiting gyms on and off (Bristol inc) Fortitude absolutely hits the right spot.I am certainly no gym king but visiting 3 x week keeps me where I want to be. The coaches/team are 10/10 and certainly encourage you at whatever level you may be.There is No pressure only support, understanding and guidance. I have done and totally recommend Fortitude Gym to anyone who wants to help their physical and mental wellbeing as we get older/go through life.Go on - come and have a look - you will not regret your decision 😊

I'm so pleased that fortitude was the gym I chose, the support has been incredible and each coach has something different to give! There's a huge sense of community and everyone is super friendly. I look forward to sessions, building strength and ability session by session, there's no pressure and it's always a good laugh. The variety of sessions makes it easy to maintain consistency too.

Fortitude is a great place to train! The sheer variety and number of sessions make it so easy to stay consistent, even with a busy schedule. The coaches are next-level—super supportive, incredibly knowledgeable, and always pushing you to be your best.What really sets Fortitude apart is the atmosphere. It’s so welcoming and positive. Everyone—from the coaches to the members—is friendly, encouraging, and genuinely happy to see you.On those days when motivation is low, just walking in and being greeted with smiles and hellos instantly lifts your mood.Honestly, my progress so far has blown me away. I’ve achieved way more than I ever thought possible—and I’m only getting started!

I joined Fortitude because apparently training once or twice a week with no semblance of a plan wasn’t the most “sustainable” way to live. Who knew? One or two mega sessions left me broken for days and not exactly smashing it at work either.Enter Fortitude. The coaches actually know what they’re doing (shocking, I know), and the structured programmes mean I don’t have to wander around wondering what to do next and I can just turn up and have fun! The regular check-ins are also very handy for when I start wobbling...The atmosphere? Honestly, it’s insane. The coaches genuinely care, the members cheer so loud for you, (when really you’ve just survived burpees) and River (the emotional support spaniel) gets a special mention too 🐾.YEARS on, strength is up, I may still hate running (and probably always will), but the biggest surprise is that I actually enjoy training now. Wild. Staying consistent in one gym for YEARS is a crazy idea, but hey - its happening!!So, if you want structure, accountability, and a bunch of people who make suffering through a workout feel fun, Fortitude is the place. Big shoutout to the coaches who somehow manage to keep us all motivated while pretending to enjoy our pain.Ps. Do I get my t-shirt now, or is cardio a requirement? Asking for a friend. 😂
