The Performance Zone

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and well equipped gym. Highly recommended. Also offers other services such as physio and personal training, group personal training classes.

Fantastic experience: What a great gym! I used it for the 2 weeks I was in Southwater. It has everything you need for a great weight training/resistance session. Very clean and not overly busy and very friendly staff. Matt also gave me a really great price! I fully recommend the gym, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: The Kickstarter programme was a great way for me to try everything out. The staff are friendly and approachable, the classes are the great and the gym is perfect for what I need. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great place to go to exersize! Good PTs which are helpful to suggest improvements. Highly recommend it if you want to loose some weight or put on some.muscle, great for both with a good variety of classes suited for everyone

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with quality PT's for group and individual sessions

Fantastic experience: Having spent 15 years in pain with occasional limited mobility and frequent expensive visits to osteopaths, after having a free consultation at the performance zone and a regular sports massage I have been pretty much pain free with the ability to live life how I want. I highly recommend this great team

Fantastic experience: Throughly enjoying getting back into the gym after a long time off with the added bonus of being able to do group classes. I have found the motivation I need to get summer ready!This gym is clean and professionally run. Throughly recoomend giving it a go

Fantastic experience: Finally southwater has a decent gym with decent classes! Can’t recommend enough, especially love the group PT classes

Fantastic experience: Lovely people, spotless gym and great value memberships. There's a really nice vibe at the performance zone, there's no judgement and always a space to book on to a class or group PT. The app never fails on me for booking which is great if you have a busy lifestyle (:

Fantastic experience: Having recently taken up running after a lifetime of mainly sedentary work I was really deflated when my knee gave up on me after just a few weeks. I booked a thorough assessment session with Matt - the advice and ongoing support and rehab plan we discussed has given me the confidence that I can get back to completing the Couch to 5k programme. I’ll never be a Paula Ratciffe but with Matt’s help and advice 5k along the Downslink is definitely possible. I definitely recommend Matt and the team

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving getting back into strength training at the Performance Zone. It's been a while since I've done that sort of training but the energy and passion Matt puts into each session is exceptional. Each one is different and uses a variety of machines/weights which keeps it really interesting and varied and I always walk away from the 7am session buzzing and set up for the day.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of a few gyms and have had a few PTs, but working out at the Performance Zone has been amazing and exercising with Matt honestly doesn't even feel like hard work! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and gym setup with new equipment. I love the group PT sessions making training more personal than classes but still affordable. Matt is fab at explaining new exercises and brings energy and fun to the sessions. I've also seen the other Matt in the injury clinic which helped me massively with my back. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been part of Performance Zone small group training sessions for over 4 months. I absolutely love Matt's dedication to all members of his gym, he is very creative with sessions and makes sure everyone feels welcomed and looked after. The gym has brand new equipment, never too crowded and a member of staff is always there to help. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a more personal fitness support.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place! Superb equipment and great group PT classes at great rates. Matt is a great coach, always encouraging and getting the best of you! Im a runner but his sessions have improved my overall fitness and I breezed through a 40 mile ultra thanks to my strength and core work. Plus he has great physios on site to help with injuries and they do great sports massages. Cant recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matt for several months and have found him to be an excellent trainer. I thoroughly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Matt for several years and not only have all of his sessions been thoroughly enjoyable, but he has taught me so much about fitness and nutrition. I can't recommend Matt highly enough.

Fantastic experience: After returning to exercise after 2 years and having a baby, Matt and the team have made something that was quite daunting actually fun and enjoyable! Would definitely recommend, and I think what you get is great value for money!

Fantastic experience: The performance zone is GREAT value!! This is not your 'average gym! Far from it. Great group PT sessions, which ensure classes are very small. This allows for a little competition, whilst working out under the expert direction of a highly skilled, motivational, and informative instructor! They also now have Zumba, yoga and Boxfit classes I love the holistic approach Matt has taken, bringing the physio, group PT sessions, classes and open gym, all under one roof, allowing for you to train smarter under their expert supervision. It's different, but in a very good way!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Performance Zone for a couple of months and I’ve enjoyed going to the group and 1-2-1 PT sessions. The group sessions are high energy and push you to doing exercises you may not of tried or out of your usual comfort zone. The studio has all the equipment you need and I’ve never had an issue with waiting for equipment I’ve wanted to use unlike my previous gym. My confidence and knowledge of the equipment has grown massively. I love how simple Performance Zone makes working out

Fantastic experience: I have been using Matt and The Performance Zone for a few years now and have always had brilliant service with a friendly feel. In the past I was normally having PT session which have always been productive and had made vast differences to my form and results. I recently sustained a back injury and The Performance Zone were very quick on getting me in for a consultation and check and I received the start of my treatment very shortly after. On top of that they were kind enough to create a rehabilitation training program to assist with my recovery, and have been there for my training to make sure my form and technique were correct. I highly recommend Matt and the team at The Performance Zone.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Matt for well over a year now. After sustaining a spondylolisthesis in 2014, I was scared to work out because my entire body hurt constantly. I came across Matt and after one sit down together I knew I had found the right trainer. He has a great knowledge base and knows how to put together workouts that strengthen and support an injury! I worked out with Matt throughout my entire pregnancy, right up to a day before I gave birth. I felt strong the entire time and Matt supported me in ensuring my nutrition was correct and helped me to manage my bump with my back problems. If you're looking for a trainer who 100% has your best interests at heart, I absolutely recommend this guy!

Fantastic experience: Started working with Matt this year and have been really impressed with the results. Each workout is different and tailored to me, but not so different I don't feel the improvement. After only a few months I'm already feeling stronger, fitter, and it's given me the push to get back into running and healthy eating. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Matt has been coaching me through my own personal training qualifications this year and it has been extremely enjoyable. Matt is very knowledgeable and has made things easy to understand. Without his support and knowledge, I definitely wouldn’t have got this far!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Matt highly enough. Having been with him since January the confidence I’ve gained in the gym is completely down to him. Cannot imagine having anyone else as my trainer. He’s always giving 100% whether it’s replying to one of your messages or motivating you to finish that last set. Thank you Matt!

Fantastic experience: Matt has been my mentor for the past year and he really knows his stuff. I would highly recommend The Performance Zone for outstanding advice and support. Very motivating and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I began training with Matt 7 months ago when my workouts in the gym started to get repetitive and I felt that I had started to plateau. His training sessions introduced me to a tonne of new exercises and different ways to perform exercises that I already knew. Also, his knowledge and advice added valuable context to help me target my exercises to the areas I wanted to improve. I would 100% recommend Matt to anyone looking for me guidance or to take their training to the next level.

Fantastic experience: Matt makes you feel comfortable, excited and motivated to reach your goals. He provides a friendly but professional approach with his PT sessions and his workout plans. Definitely recommend Matt to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Been trying with Matt for about 1.5 years now! I can honestly say he’s the best PT I’ve worked with! He’s very knowledgeable and plans the workouts to precision detail! Matt uses an app to log/plan/track sessions which is genius, he constantly has a eye on how your training! One thing I noticed while training with Matt is when you book a session with him, the hour is totally yours! There is no playing or checking phones, he’s totally dedicated to you. Also he is qualified and very good at sports recovery and therapy. I would happily recommend him to anyone. Thanks Matt!

Fantastic experience: I have joined gyms before and even have exercise equipment at home but always struggled to self motivate and each time gave up before getting the true benefit, so decided it was time to get a PT. Having linked up with Matt, it has really worked for me - friendly and motivating, the work out is always varied and we'll judged to push my capability further each time. Matt always takes time to describe new excercises and ensures the technique is explained too. Amazingly, not only have a I managed to keep this up weekly but I have found I enjoy it - the benefit of losing some excess weight and toning up is great but I think it also helps with a healthy mind.

Fantastic experience: Loved working with Matthew. I look forward to continuing working with him on more sport specific sessions in the future! Thank you !

Fantastic experience: I had a patella tendinopathy that needed rehab. Matt has been brilliant in bringing it back to full strength. He’s also brought my general fitness back where it needs to be. I highly recommend Matt and his team for both rehab and PT!

Fantastic experience: Since beginning personal training a year ago with Matt, I feel healthier, more toned and much happier in myself! Matt has pushed me to achieve goals but with encouragement and praise, which is really nice! He has also helped me with a lower back problem I've had for years, following a horse riding incident. He's helped with massage and working specific exercises into our weekly workouts! Would recommend Matt to beginners (like me) as well as more advance 'gymers'

Fantastic experience: Asking Matt to be my PT last year was one of the best decisions I made in terms of my health and fitness. He quickly identified my strengths and weakness' and designed workouts which instantly motivated me. Every week is different and I always look forward to training even after long hours at work. Matt is a great listener and really takes his time to understand what's best for you and explains this clearly. Before training with Matt going to the gym was a big no for me. I hated the idea. Matt has given me the self confidence and knowledge to learn to love the gym. He is an inspirational PT and I cannot thank him enough for the support and self confidence he has given me. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with him in the new year. Thank you Matt!

Fantastic experience: I can't rate Matt highly enough. He's the best trainer. Thank you so much for encouraging and helping me get where I am now. I really do appreciate it.

Fantastic experience: Matt is the best trainer ever. He is motivating, encouraging and makes you work hard in a fun way. I genuinely believe I wouldn't be where I am without him now. He's helped me lose three stone and taught me so much about nutrition and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Matt's an excellent PT. He clearly knows his stuff and is always doing more research to improve his knowledge, and keep his workouts interesting. Always gets back to you promptly with any issues or questions and keeps you working hard. One of the best PT's I've had!
