⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 4 years ago

Moved to Wakefield over a year ago, I tried a few other gyms but never really enjoyed it or been able to achieve my goals. My goal was to loose weight and tone up. I had been trying to loose weight for past 3 years, lost some but kept hitting a brick wall. Started with the classes first, which i really enjoyed. The coaches in the classes are great and make you fit right in, regardless of what stage you are at being a beginner or not. Later on with the classes I started to get regularly one to one sessions with James, which make a huge difference. Now It doesn’t feel like a chore I always look forward to the classes and training here. If it wasn’t for this gym I would have given up and not been able to look as good as I look now. Thank you, you don’t know how much you have changed my life.
