TESTIMONIALS
I watched a Programme on television regarding the elderly at the Gym, and the benefits that they've gained.  I am in my early 70s.  Having to get a referral from the Doctor, Louise then sorted an individual personal fitness programme that has improved my flexibility and that is easily adapted as I get fitter.
My wife has helped me regain my diet, and coming to the Gym three times a week I've managed to lose a few pounds.  Losing the weight has been a bonus.  The atmosphere in the gym is very friendly and Louise our fitness expert is always there to help.

"I love the option of the evening gym time.  I commute a long distance and this is an ideal time to unwind after a long day and get fit again.  Louise has designed a programme that matches my ability and is easily adjusted as I get fitter.  This is a great community facility."

"Only recently joined the Gym and I love it, got me motivated, excellent work out programme for me.  Staff and atmosphere lovely."

Been struggling with acute back pain for months.  Louise prescribed me a set of stretching exercises twice daily and I do believe it's doing the trick.  Pain levels well down and occasionally none at all.

First visit this evening and totally loved it - Louise the trainer was very welcoming and helpful, totally changed my opinion of "gyms".   Can't wait to go back again next week - fantastic opportunity for any locals wanting to try a gym without the pressure of a big mainstream facility and it's cheaper than a Costa Coffee !!!!   Win, win

As a late 60's male who has taken part in many sports over his lifetime, a few niggles plus a 'frozen shoulder ' had reduced me to an 'also ran' in the human race. Fortunately thanks to a sceptical visit to the gym, and some very helpful programming by a fitness expert by the name of Louise, I am now leading a much more hectic life.  (Mental note: Must go back for a rest!!!!)  
Highly recommend going, as others have said, good atmosphere and no pressure to impress.  Keep up the great work.

I was never a ‘sporty’ teenager or young adult.  A friend inspired me to go to the gym, and I arrived with much trepidation.  Louise immediately put me at ease and designed my first programme; I enjoyed the fact that there was no competition with other users.  After nearly two years of regular visits to the gym, I am fitter, a better shape and, probably more importantly, more confident in my own abilities.

"I have been going to the gym for a while - not having done exercise for years so having very low fitness levels.  Louise is excellent - puts you at ease and always on hand to help. She has created me an individual fitness programme which is easy to follow.  The atmosphere in the gym is so friendly - not at all intimidating as I find regular gyms to be!  A real range of ages - the older members often putting me to shame with what they can do!  Would thoroughly recommend locals to give it a go!"
Louise Innes


I've been using the gym since it opened and look forward to going, it's friendly and easy going, but best of all ........ there's no mirrors!! :-)
