Fantastic experience: I went to my first group circuit session yesterday & really enjoyed myself. Chris who took the class was so friendly & the other members of the group were very welcoming . Afterwards I felt as if I’d pushed myself without having overdone it. A more experienced member than I am, told me that, 3 months into her Transformation Rooms membership, she feels far stronger & more flexible than she did before she joined. I’m looking forward very much to taking more classes.
Hey Julia, thank you so much for a lovely review. We try and give every member and new member the best welcome possible, we are glad you really enjoyed yourself and we can't wait to see where this journey takes you. Team TTR.
Fantastic experience: I've had a stiff shoulder for months, painkillers, deep heat, deep freeze, nothing helped. Then I Came across TTR and booked myself in for a massage with the wonderful Tina. All I can say is WOW!! What a friendly welcome, the staff are amazing. Very helpful. Great communication before and after your booking. The massage was in a lovely quiet room, tranquil music and relaxing. I came out a new man. Very quickly booked my next appointment. Absolutely recommend this gem of a place, 5 stars plus.
Hey Craig, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice review. We are so glad that your shoulders much better now and that Tina is doing a great job. Remember keep up with the treatment and don't let it slip or you will be back to the start again. Hope to see you again soon, Team TTR.

Fantastic experience: Every session is a blast! Not only do I get to crush it with my personal training sessions, but now with the addition of boxercise classes, I'm doubling up on the fun. It's a win-win—I'm hitting the gym twice a week, incorporating cardio and core work seamlessly into my routine. Both the PT and boxercise sessions are top-notch workouts, hitting every muscle group with gusto. It's like a party for my muscles—I leave feeling pumped and energised every time! Cheers Sam and Chris

Hi Carol, we are glad you found the stress management workshop useful with Ian. We hope to see you at the next one we put on at The Transformation Rooms - Personal Training Studio in Kirkby Stephen.
Fantastic experience: Just attended the breathing and stress management workshop arranged by Chris at The Transformation Rooms. Wasn't sure what to expect but it really was worth attending!! The trainer was very calm and knowledgeable and took us through various breathing techniques to improve our oxygen intake and aid stress relief!! I was so relaxed I could have nodded off. He also explained how breathing can help make you aware of your body and where the tension is and how to alleviate it! Going to incorporate these into my daily life!! Thank you again Chris for arranging this!!!
Thank you so much Pauline, we want people to feel comfortable at our gym in Kirkby Stephen. We offer regular events to members and non-members.
We have spent a lot of time over the years trying to build a great community and making it a good place to be.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday I attended a Breath Work and Stress Management workshop at The Transformation Rooms. I am somebody who, with a permanently racing mind, can NEVER totally switch off! The teacher took us through some valuable breathing techniques and exercises and before I knew it I was totally relaxed (almost out for the count) and completely oblivious to anything going on around me. The techniques taught will now stay with me and I will endeavour to practice them on a daily basis knowing how good they are for both physical and mental wellbeing. Thank you so much to Chris for facilitating yet another wonderful workshop and to Ian the talented instructor. If you should get the chance to attend one of these workshops you should go for it. I'm so glad I did!
Delighted to hear about your positive experience at The Transformation Rooms' Breath Work and Stress Management workshop!
It's fantastic that you found valuable techniques for relaxation. Remember, incorporating these practices into your daily routine can contribute to both physical and mental wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I have been going for nearly two years which is probably the longest I’ve stuck at an exercise regime! I enjoy the mix of exercises and am impressed with how much I can now lift. Always feel great afterwards and any aches don’t last long. I love that it’s local and I’ve enjoyed getting to know Chris and all the other clients.

Fantastic experience: I started attending the transformation rooms to strenthen my leg and the workouts have done just that. I have also met many people there. The gym is about a community of people who would always encourage you to push yourself as further Although I started my diet before joining the transformation rooms. I have lost 8 lbs in 2 months and my shape is also improving. I also love the fact you are guided in the type of foods to choose if you eat out. Dont just think about it come along and try and you will be surprised how much ypu will enjoy yourself. Chris will assess ypu and produce a work out geared to you.
Thank you for leaving a great review, we say this all the time but our personal training studio in Kirkby Stephen prides it's self on our community.We have options for people to help with their nutrition and out Ultimate eat out guide is great for this.once again thank you for taking the time and keep showing up, it works.

He is able to cater to all ages, body types and fitness levels and creates individual programs that are specific to each person’s abilities and goals. He is also a really good guy - very approachable, good fun and completely without judgement.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first session at The Transformation Rooms after signing up... it was great! Was warmly welcomed by Chris and another lady Sam who was working out. Got straight into it with a warm up then controlled exercises, then ended with a quick HIIT then warm down. Chris guides you how to do things properly and really encourages you to give your best. I'm really looking forward to the next sessions and to getting back on track with my weight and fitness!!
Fantastic experience: First training session with Chris this morning, really enjoyed it ️♂️ My journey is just beginning and I am excited to see results over the next few weeks.
Thank you Rachael, you were GREAT. Remember keep showing up - It works! See you at your next session :)
Fantastic experience: I had never done any gym stuff before but Chris is so encouraging and supportive I quickly felt relaxed. I would definitely recommend Transformation Rooms for that whole person and individual approach. The additional add-ons that are free to members are really great. I got so much out of the mind set academy. Chris has also supported me with nutrition and what I should and shouldn't be doing food wise. I have lost weight, gained strength and am much fitter than when I started 10 months ago.
Hey Hanna, Thank you so much for such a nice review. We hope you have a great time with us and keep smashing those sessions.
Fantastic experience: Had a great first session with Chris, was harder than I thought it would be but I really enjoyed it. Didn’t realise how out of shape I have let myself get. Chris was a great instructor, very encouraging and pushing me where as if I had been on my own in the gym I would have given up. Looking forward to my next session. Highly recommend if like me you need that extra push and motivation.

Thank you so much Alison for the review. We try our hardest to tailor everyone's training to meet the needs of the client. Glad you are seeing results.
Fantastic experience: I have avoided doing any type of fitness training for the last 2 years due to a nasty attack of sciatica. I felt confident that Chris, at CJH Fitness, would be able to create a training programme that would take into consideration my sciatica ( and a dodgy shoulder!) and I was 100% right! All the exercises were tailored to accommodate by aches and pains. Chris was very professional, helpful, explained things clearly and kept me motivated. I am definitely making trips to CJH Fitness every week from now on. What a buzz for me to finally get back into training! Thank you Chris!
Hi Kate, thank you so much for taking that first step back into fitness. You put your all in to the session and I can't wait to have another session. WELL DONE.
Fantastic experience: Booked my first sports massage with them today for long-term issues with my back and shoulders relating to an injury some years ago. It was highly effective and I will definitely be booking regularly. I also appreciated the advice given concerning exercises to do at home.
Hi Jonathan, thank you so much for the review. Just remember to keep stretching as the advanced stretching works really well.
Fantastic experience: I was anxious about starting a training programme and put it off for a long time. However I took the plunge and Chris made me feel at ease with a tailored programme which took my physical limitations into consideration. I left motivated and wanting to go back for more!
Hey Emma, thank you so much for the review. You did really well today for the first session. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to join you on this journey.
