Faction Heaton Mersey

Fantastic experience: I joined just before Christmas and could literally see results after 2 weeks.. each trainer has been awesome, really supportive and give U so much motivation and push you, as well as making you smile . It's actually a joy to attend rather than having the pre gym dreaded feeling, I look forward to attending . Really glad I joined ... Thank you faction

Positive experience: Nice place

Fantastic experience: A friendly and supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: Absolute vibes!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love my time at Faction. I have been going for nine months now. My health and fitness have really improved. The atmosphere in the classes is great fun and very inclusive. People of different ages and abilities are all really welcomed and made to feel at home. Robbie is a wonderful instructor and sets a great tone. The group works really well together and everyone supports each other. It is good exercise and good fun.

Fantastic experience: I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted from a Gym, I just knew that walking coldly into a large gym full of equipment that I wasn't entirely confident using wasn't something that would be sustainable long term and i'd find a reason not to go. Coming across Faction online, it sounded like something that could suit me. All of the benefits of professional coaching without the pressure or cost of a 'typical' 1-2-1 personal trainer. I joined almost a year ago and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their fitness. Whilst I am fitter and stronger for attending weekly, I would say it's the mental benefits that are the most significant to me. It is the most consistent form of exercise I have ever done and that is down to the coaches, most notably Robbie and the incredibly supportive ethos of the gym and by extension, the members.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I was always scared to go into the weights section of the gym but really wanted to improve my strength. Then I found Faction where Robbie and the gang are so welcoming and knowledgable. Sessions are small so you always get help and support with training. There’s no judgement, just a lot of fun and encouragement, and my strength has improved loads

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, great trainers, great atmosphere and lots of fun. Really love the sessions here. Robbie is best the trainer.

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue as I’ve been going to Faction almost since it opened in 2021. I couldn’t recommend Faction highly enough for anybody looking to improve their overall fitness. As somebody who had always previously struggled with consistency when going to the gym, I’ve now attended over 300 sessions in the past couple of years, and that’s thanks to the support of Robbie and team. Each workout is challenging but enjoyable and you’re always given that extra push when you need it. It’s a great atmosphere and I always look forward to every session.

Fantastic experience: I love everything about Faction. Robbie is super knowledgeable, makes sessions challenging and pushes every member to their individual level. It’s such a friendly gym, no egos, v welcoming and a real mix of ages and ability. I’m loving seeing progress in the weights I can lift and feeling stronger already. There’s plenty of laughs and I always come out of sessions happy. Would highly recommend Faction.

Fantastic experience: When I first signed up for the trial I secretly had no intention of staying. I thought of it as a 30 day fitness boost before a holiday. Little did I know Faction would become an essential part of my week. It's unlike any other gym I've been to. There is a true community/family connection. Robbie is awesome...a total asset to the company. We laugh A LOT...whilst becoming strong, fit and healthy ❤️

Fantastic experience: I joined FACTION about 6 weeks ago after moving to the area. The classes are well structured, led by excellent coaches (special shout out to Robbie) that explain & demo every exercise, and who are able to offer modifications for individual needs. This is a world-away from the large-scale gym classes and is a truly valuable training experience. The class size is capped at 10 people so you feel safe lifting heavy weights and the other people in the class are very supportive and encouraging! I would recommend FACTION to people that need accountability in their training, that want small group sessions - classes are suitable for beginners to enthusiasts who have been at it for years!

Fantastic experience: Excellent sessions. Great staff who take the time to help everyone out. Would really recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, great atmosphere.

Positive experience: Decent people.

Fantastic experience: Robbie is a brilliant PT and puts in the time to give you 121 advice and tips despite managing other attendees at the same time. He keeps you accountable and is very knowledgeable. The Faction community are really friendly too.

Fantastic experience: For someone who normally hates exercise I love the classes at faction. Robbie makes each class different and explains everything really well, he’s a real asset to the team. It’s such a fun environment to work out at, I can’t recommend faction enough.

Fantastic experience: I hated going to the gym - too busy, not knowing what to do... i joined Faction just over and month ago and it’s given me motivation. The trainers are friendly, people are great and everything is made super simple and fun. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great sessions and everybody is there to support one another regardless of what size you are, how heavy you lift. No egos, everyone is there to have a laugh and get fitter / stronger!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, Robbie (PT) helped me a lot with my lifting technique, and I saw progress very quickly! Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to start your fitness journey or you have tried before but couldn't make progress because you were lacking guidance, nutrition knowledge, a spot and maybe even personal accountability... You should go here.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. I've made so much progress in a short space of time it's unreal. All down to the amazing PT work from Robbie.

Fantastic experience: These classes really put me through my paces. I was a little apprehensive about starting group training so soon after childbirth, but Robbie really put me at ease and he made the classes so much fun - even providing alternative exercises to manage the discomfort I was experiencing following my c-section. My fitness has improved so much since joining and I'm always looking forward to the next session. I really cannot recommend Faction Heaton Mersey highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Faction since they opened in April and can’t recommend it enough! The plan is varied and there are plenty of options to suit everyone’s abilities. Usually I’d have given up on the gym by now but Robbie and the team are so encouraging and professional, and the rest of the people who come to sessions always support each other! Just wish I didn’t look so red faced on all the insta photos!! Thanks guys :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve always been very active but never been a gym bunny. I’ve joined Faction last month and ansolutely no regrets. Super friendly atmosphere! Robbie (PT) is absolutely amazing tailoring the exercises to your abilites. They combined professional training with fun, that makes all the difference. It’s always sweaty but it’s always fun. After a couple of weeks I already feel stronger, more confident and even happier! I look forward to every session. Massive thanks for the pain and the giggles, respect! :)

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Faction since April, the plans are not only fun and varied, but tailored to suit each individual clients requirements. Robbie the PT is very good at adapting exercises to coincide with your own personal abilities, whilst encouraging and pushing you physically too! The group at Faction are of all ages/abilities, which is really refreshing. The group is very welcoming and all have a laugh alongside burning the calories. Faction don’t only offer 3 group sessions a week but have monthly check ins and weight loss seminars completely included in the plan. The online booking system is very beneficial too as it allows for flexibility and last minute cancellations which is fab!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Faction for 3 weeks now. Love it, structured training. Fun and friendly. #trainhard #nopainnogain.

Fantastic experience: Fun enjoyable work outs with amazingly friendly trainers who push you hard, but not to an uncomfortable level!

Fantastic experience: Started 2 weeks ago and really seeing the benefits. Great atmosphere and a real community. Expert trainers .

Fantastic experience: Started at Faction a few weeks back and loving the setup. It has a community feel already. The planning that has gone into the workouts shows through and the coaches are great. Really friendly place for all levels

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! For someone who hates working out and struggles with motivation I find myself looking forward to each session! From the moment I walked in on day 1, they have been nothing but encouraging and supportive! They talk you through the entire program step by step and always offer you guidance! Definitely recommend Faction to everyone!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a really friendly atmosphere. The coaches are very good. They put a lot of effort into planning the workouts and make sure that you do the exercises properly.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Faction since they opened and I've loved every session. I don't often use a gym, however was immediately made to feel like I fit in. The quality of training and sessions is top class, and love the community they are building. If you're thinking about joining, definitely give it a go. You'll feel stronger after just a few sessions!

Fantastic experience: I honestly didn’t think a gym would be capable of such a great feel of community. I’ve always fallen into the category of going to a commercial gym for a few weeks maybe a month or 2 tops, pretend to work out, run on the treadmill, maybe attend a class or 2 and hate every minute of it till I cancel my membership. Rinse and repeat. Faction is built differently though. As soon as you walk into the door you are greeted by the trainers who are super knowledgable, patient and most importantly for me. Encouraging! They explain each session in detail before the start and demonstrate all the exercises, showing you levels of easy to hard so you can start at a level what suits you but if they think you are capable of more, they’ll encourage you to push yourself further but will also provide ways of making it easier if needed. I’ve been going for 3 weeks now and already seeing a difference, I lost around 6 pounds in my first week and see myself becoming stronger with each session. I managed 3 sets - 16 reps of east/west push ups in the last session and the reaction from both trainers was super motivating, it just makes you want to keep pushing yourself. All egos left at the door as well as all the members I’ve met so far are super friendly and the more confident ones are as encouraging as the trainers. It honestly feels more like a team sport then a gym session

Fantastic experience: I started at Faction as soon as it opened and was so pleased to get back to training! The space is great, the kit is perfect and the coaches are so friendly and knowledgable. I’ve been training for a few years now but after a year of lockdown the support and advice was much needed and has really helped. It’s not your average gym, it’s got structure and you can easily see how well you’re progressing, not forgetting the nutritional support and info that comes with the membership! Definitely recommend for anyone at any point on their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at many gyms with group personal training and this is by far the best. Sessions are well planned and organised and coaches are supportive and encouraging. Whether your a beginner or advanced the sessions are designed to meet every ones individual goals. Sessions are fun with groups of lovely people! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is the first time I've joined a gym like this and I'm absolutely loving it. Lloyd and Robbie offer great encouragement whilst also ensuring you do the exercises right. Sessions are really enjoyable and I'm really happy that I decided to sign up. Looking forward to seeing what I can do.

Fantastic experience: I recently started at Faction and was made to feel welcome from the first minute i walked through the door. The guys talk you through the program step by step and regardless whether you are a complete novice, or have been in a gym before, they are always there to offer guidance. Top atmosphere, professional attitude to training, and most of all gets you fit . Would definitely recommend you give these guys a try!

Fantastic experience: Having never done circuit training before, I was nervous about starting at a specialised class like this. I soon realised I had absolutely no need to be. The two main trainers, Lloyd and Robbie, are really patient and understanding and while they encourage us to go out of their comfort zones, they're really good at providing alternatives if there's something stopping me from getting there. For example I twistsd my ankle earlier this week while out on a walk. In my first session back, they gave me exercises to do which gave me the same results as the regular exercises but took all the weight off my ankle. I've been going for three weeks now and I already feel much stronger (despite the ankle). Can't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: The team at Faction have managed to create a focused, results driven, fun programme balanced with a strong sense of community spirit and partnership which makes this business unique. It’s a joy to attend the sessions at Faction where you see real results and enjoy the spirit of this unique fitness community. Would certainly recommend faction to support diverse fitness plans and goals for all.
