Ben is a supportive, experienced coach who works hard to make his classes interesting and challenging. I particularly enjoy the random fun activities he pops in as a warm up and the social Aspect with other group members. In addition to this Ben has written a detailed gym plan out for my daughter to use independently. All in all fabulous !

I joined BAM 6 months ago and have the privilege of working with Ben. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goals. He has worked with me on a personal level, getting to know me, my goals, and working around my specific health needs. Before joining BAM I had little to no experience in the gym outside of running and rowing and Ben has helped me learn techniques and build confidence in every area of fitness. Alongside training I was also put on the right path with a tailored nutrition programme and provided the guidance and motivation necessary to keep me on track. Coming to BAM has instilled a sense of fulfilment and discipline that has spilled over into other areas of my life and I couldn’t recommend a better place or person! Less

I love the community Ben has created at BAM - everyone is incredibly supportive and friendly no matter where you are in your fitness journey which always helps as it can be really nerve wracking to start something new! Thanks to BAM I feel stronger, healthier and happier. Less

As someone in my fifties with a history of back problems, Bam has been amazing. I've been using muscles I didn't know I had and my core is so much stronger.

I started training with Ben at Base Fitness, since Jason and Liv found a new direction, I followed Jason’s recommendation to seek out Ben’s new gym, BAM. For me personally Ben has worked with my individual circumstances, which has been massive for me as a mother of two.

It's been really nice seeing how Ben has developed BAM from the ideas he had a couple of years ago to the great gym it is now.

It's been really nice seeing how Ben has developed BAM from the ideas he had a couple of years ago to the great gym it is now. His hard work and enthusiasm have ensured that the atmosphere is never judgemental, whatever your age or ability and you always feel comfortable within the group. 🤗 Now that I'm a bit older I want to maintain strength and flexibility whilst staying injury free and Ben's extensive knowledge and the small classes ensure you receive the best attention. I love the cheerful, super positive way Ben delivers the training and the encouragement of your fellow members always pushes you to go that little bit further than you thought you could go!💪I always feel set up for my day after a session!🤸‍♀️ Less

Awesome strength based gym and community. Ben is a great coach and fantastic at getting me to fully understand how to train so I don’t injure myself.

For over a year now; I keep turning up, 3 or 4 times a week, keep getting stronger, keep being challenged, keep being motivated and never get bored. All thanks to BAM, the best gym in North Devon, Ben's excellent workouts and the welcoming, friendly and non-judgmentle atmosphere here. It's not like any other gym you've tried, I would recommend anyone to give this a go.

I have been having Personal Training sessions with Ben for a year. He had adapted training to suit my ability, allowing for exercised to strengthen my knee after an injury which is now doing a lot better after our sessions. Ben is very patient and knowledgeable which instills confidence. I cannot recommend Ben and BAM Training enough.

Best gym in North Devon

There are gyms...and then there's BAM. Ben's patience, knowledge and coaching has transformed this middle-aged creaky man into a much stronger, happier version of himself. Every session is different, so there's no danger of getting stale, and each training block pushes you on. It's a great community to be part of and I'd recommend to anyone who knows they should be doing strength and resistance t... More

Ben will listen to your expectations and create an exercise plan that will see you reach your desired goals with respect and true dedication. Whatever your goals are, Ben strives to create a holistic environment that is guaranteed to get results. 100% recommend you take his classes or 1:1 PT private sessions.

I have been going to BAM Training twice a week since Ben opened last summer. I have chosen 1 - 1 sessions because I like the close attention that gives me. The activities are challenging but not exhausting and Ben has a lot of knowledge of the body muscles, skeleton and joints. For me, the best gym in North Devon!

Great

I've really enjoyed training with Ben, he is very knowledgeable and pushes me to test myself (in a good way 😆)

Ben’s knowledge and attention to detail is unmatched, best gym in North Devon! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic gym, well thought out sessions with excellent progression and individual focus. Really helped refine my strength training. Best gym in north Devon!!!

I love coming to this gym. It has a really friendly atmosphere, and each session is different so it never gets boring. I'm getting stronger and I'm not worried about injuring myself as the group sizes are small so there's enough support and coaching for everyone. I would definitely recommend this gym to others.

Really feeling the benefits of BAM and it's small group personal training sessions!

The personal training coach you can’t be without. We train regularly with Ben, his knowledge and understanding of our training needs is excellent. Keeps us fit, strong and injury free as I continually commit us to a challenging adventure ❤️

Great coaching and atmosphere. Best gym in North Devon.
