As a lifelong Non Sporty Person, I was alarmed when my GP suggested I join a Gym. However, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying my sessions since joining FBD 4 months ago! The trainers are very attentive and take care to tailor the routines to each person’s ability, resulting in safe, steady progress. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, and certainly not boring. Highly recommended.

Joining this gym has been a 100% positive experience for me. I especially value the individual attention that Colin and his team pay to all of the members. I know that if I was just left to my own devices, I wouldn't have maintained the same level of commitment. The trainers are cheerful and friendly and ask you what you want to concentrate on in any session. They are very knowledgeable about different physical conditions so are able to tailor the activities to suit you. My strength and fitness have improved dramatically over the year. Thanks!

A recent holiday convinced me how much fitter I've become since joining Fitness by Design. It was a short city break but it involved a ton of walking plus climbing loads of steps. Not only that but I had to keep up with my very fit daughter! So a big thank you to the trainers at FBD, who are so friendly, helpful and professional.

I have been attending Fitness by Design for 6 months now and I love the set-up and how it makes me feel - something that I’ve never experienced from a gym before. The team are amazing: friendly, motivating, helpful and understanding in equal measure. I have not enjoyed exercise since leaving school but FBD I do. I’m so grateful to have found it and very, very grateful to Colin and his wonderful team.

I love my 45 minute personalised training twice a week, I always leave feeling better than when I go! The trainers are really inspiring and I have fun whilst I am getting fitter. Having an appointment time in the week to go to the gym ensures I get there and don't find excuses ;)

Fitness by design has transformed the way I thought about the gym. I love it, & actually look forward to going!! The trainers are lovely people, very encouraging, motivational & most of all fun! It has a friendly & welcoming atmosphere & there is always lots of chatting & laughing between gym goers. I have increased muscle & lost body fat since staring & I feel much better knowing I’m exercising & improving my mobility, balance & strength. I would thoroughly recommend starting your gym experience here.

Joined last September. Not like any other gym I’ve been to before. Personal trainers motivate and encourage! They make you feel comfortable and at ease. Really enjoy my visits. Such a great team!

Great gym & fantastic, friendly staff who teach, encourage & motivate! My husband & I joined in Dec 2023 & have been attending fitness sessions twice a week. We're both feeling fitter & stronger and have lost 1.5 stone between us already. Would thoroughly recommend.

My husband and I have been attending Fitness By design for approximately the past 8 yrs. We cannot praise the high quality of care and motivation we have received consistently over that time. Each staff member has a group of no more than 5 members at each session, enabling them to tailor the session to the specific requirements of each individual within that group. The high caliber of staff ensures the sessions are varied, always encouraging each of us to reach our best potential and most importantly, developing a feel of camaraderie and good humour between the staff and members.

I have recently joined the Fitness By Design family, I wish I hadn’t taken so long! The Staff are highly knowledgeable and show professionalism at all times, make you feel at ease and set the standards high. I have enjoyed every workout (maybe not always the DOMS) I have made some lovely like minded friends who share the same passion for exercise. The benefits to my physical and mental health have greatly improved and that’s because I’m growing in confidence after each session. I can highly recommend Fitness by Design to all levels of ability.

Fitness by Design has been a wonderful addition to our lives and has helped us gain strength and fitness in a wonderful friendly environment. All the trainers are so lovely and encouraging and helpful. Our gym sessions are always very enjoyable and we love the concept of the personal attention and then the group stretch sessions- it works so well and is brilliant! Thank you all!

I only joined the gym just before Christmas after changing jobs and starting to put on weight. Since joining I have lost 5kg already and my energy and mood have improved as well. Colin and the team are brilliant and set the training for you personally. I really enjoy the group sessions and joining is the best thing I've done for a while.

I've avoided gyms for most of my life as I find them intimidating and have always worried about neck and shoulder issues. What I love about Fitness By Design is that they really look after you and take away any barriers, especially the ones in your head! They alleviate the over-thinking and indecision and adapt to whatever your needs and goals are, overall or on the day. So really all you have to do is show up ;) A friendly, supportive and very competent bunch of instructors and us willing victims have a laugh too! I can highly recommend it and it's value for money, especially when you consider your long-term strength, mobility and establishment of good wellbeing habits for life, Thanks a lot :)
