Flexability fitness

Fantastic experience: I started flexibility fitness roughly 2 months ago reaching out to the owner Dan with the struggle I had. He welcomed me in with open arms and said I’ve got you we will do this and you know what I didn’t believe it would happen at first but what a place and what a owner he is he hasn’t just helped me lose weight and train with confidence but has changed my life for the better. I would recommend this gym & fitness session to anyone at all such a great place with a great team and background.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful

Fantastic experience: Did the 6 week kickstart course with Dan and his team. Lost 22lbs in that period. Great variety of classes and a good workout. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I previously trained at another HIIT Class, however came to Flexibility in June 2024 for a free week trial and haven't left. The trainers are not only supportive and friendly, they are incredibly knowledgeable. I have tried other gyms where on entrance I have felt overwhelmed an judged, however, Dan, Sam and the team have made me feel comfortable while encouraging you to push yourself to your best. The coaches assisting in getting the correct form without hurting yourself or adapting the movement if you struggle. The atmosphere is welcoming with everyone being friendly and there being no 'clicks'. in the short period of time attending, I have made some amazing friends, and reaches some goals I didn't even know I had.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Everyone is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Had such a positive experience joining Flexability Fitness. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and supportive. They make sure you feel comfortable while pushing you to reach your best potential. The atmosphere is amazing – there’s a real sense of community and everyone is so encouraging. It's a place where you feel motivated, uplifted, and inspired to do your best. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and energising environment to reach their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this gym and, in particular, the 'kick-start ' programme highly enough. Having recovered from heart surgery a year ago, I had completed my cardio rehabilitation and was looking for the next stage of my recovery. Thankfully, I'm part of Man Club in Durham, and together with Dan at Flexibility Fitness, we took part in his 6-week kick-start challenge. The atmosphere is like no other gym I've been in. The coaches are fantastic, and the attention given to help each individual there is a credit to the gym. Personally, I lost a stone in weight and 10 cm from my stomach on this 6-week course. Is it easy? No, do you need to commit to it? Yes. Give it your all, and you will get results. Thanks so much for your help but you haven't seen the back of me as I've joined this amazing gym for the next year.

Fantastic experience: Joined Flexability's 6week Kickstart program after years of avoiding gyms and accumulating many bad habits. Now in my mid40s and already slightly struggling with flexibility and mobility not to mention my mental health, I was starting to come to the conclusion it was only downhill from there. All I can say is what a brilliant, shot in the arm this place is! Dan and his experienced team are both knowledgeable and excellent motivators. Dietary advice and progress monitoring was top class and classes (usually 45min slots 05:45-18:30) are varied and a fully comprehensive workout. They cater the exercises to your needs accommodating for any existing needs/injuries (ACL knee in my case) very well. This is a gym where you go to work hard on yourself and help motivate others on their journey. Community feeling is strong, welcoming and super positive! Keep up the excellent work

Fantastic experience: Been an absolute fantastic experience meeting and training alongside each and every one of the gym members at FlexAbility Fitness. Can’t thank Dan enough for providing a safe and encouraging environment in order to put every person at ease from those regulars to those nervous amongst us who haven’t been to a gym in a very long time. No judgment, just 100% support and encouragement throughout. I took part in a 6 week challenge and not only has my fitness level improved, my self belief, confidence and mental health has increased significantly. Thank you Dan the owner and Paul the coach @⁨~Flexability Fitness⁩ who offer support, dedication to empowering others to raise their game, producing a fitter, healthier and more mentally stronger version of themselves. I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to continuing with my journey with the rest of your gym members

Fantastic experience: Dan and the team have been amazing and the results from the man club lads are a testament to the work they do. Mental health and fitness are 100% connected and to find a gym that promotes both is very special

Fantastic experience: Absolutely buzzing after doing a 6 week Kickstarter with Flexibility Fitness. Dan and the other PT’s are fantastic, really supportive and encouraging. Never felt intimidated in any way, no mirrors, just really good atmosphere and a friendly bunch of other gym goers all helping me along the way.

I was apprehensive of joining a gym but really enjoyed it.Dan and the other coaches were fantastic, not just to me but everyone that walks through the door.

Fantastic experience: Flexability fitness is a great gym to be apart of which caters for everyone regardless of their ability, size and age. The coaches are always available to provide advice and correct your technique when needed. The classes change from day-to-day so you never have the same class twice and there's always a good atmosphere and energy in the room. I definitely recommend the 6 week Kickstart Programme if you're looking to lose weight and gain strength, it's worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever been to (and I’ve tried a few!) I’ve never been fitter and stronger. The coaches are great and really encourage anyone who comes through the door. The classes are such a good atmosphere and there’s something for everyone no matter your fitness level. Can’t recommend the kick start enough.

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and great place to work out. Dan and the team are very supportive and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes at this gym, everyone’s friendly and encouraging, made me feel very comfortable throughout!

Fantastic experience: I had to leave the gym due to work commitments changing but after over a year away ive been able to return and have been made to feel welcome once again. Great trainers and a fantastic atmosphere

The classes are varied and really make you sweat! They’ve helped me become a fitter, healthier and happier version of myself. This is the friendly and inclusive gym you’re looking for.

Fantastic experience: If you are thinking about joining a gym, don’t put it off til tomorrow, join today. Day 1 is always the hardest but you won’t regret it. FlexAbility Fitness is a totally inclusive gym, the members are all ages, shapes and sizes and are so supportive of one another, praising one another as they achieve their individual goals. The instructors are so knowledgeable and can modify exercises to accommodate anyone with ailments or injuries whilst encouraging and pushing you to be the very best version of yourself. They each come from a different fitness background which makes for such varied and fun sessions. Dan Long along with your Wingmen Sam Mccormack and Ryan James Stephenson you have created a gym, a community, to be so proud of. I honestly couldn’t recommend Flexibility Fitness enough.

Fantastic experience: I Joined this gym 3 weeks ago, I was so nervous to step back into a gym after years out but Dan and his team made me feel welcome and comfortable straight away. They are so supportive and everyone is so friendly helping each other work towards their own goals. Every class is different and i love the style of training that pushes me on each session. I'm so proud of my results so far and cannot thank you all enough. I thoroughly look forward to each class! Best gym around, so much better than all these basic big gyms, this is a different, special, motivating community that i would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been at the gym for 6 weeks doing the build and beyond which is a structured weights programme with Dan. I’ve honestly loved it and managed to stay consistent and motivated which have been my main downfalls over the last few years. Weigh in day today and I’m chuffed that I’ve lost a total of 8cms and feel stronger. For me it’s not about losing weight tho but feeling stronger in my mind and body and Dan and the amazing team and members have certainly helped me to do that. I’ve signed straight back up for another 12 weeks.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic and friendly place for people who love to work out, strength and conditioning and more. Dan in particular is a genuine, approachable, motivational trainer who will push you to your limits for all of the best results. I've genuinely never looked back. Ive finally found somewhere that has lots of sessions throughout the week for me around my job. I lost my fitness and put on the weight, now im motivated thanks to flexability fitness and the people running the sessions. From HIT, circuits, boxing, yoga and strongman. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had been in a lot of pain and my first massage off dan relieved a lot of it thank you Dan

Fantastic experience: Great place and ran by great lads; Dan, Ryan and Sam are knowledgeable and will always get the best out of you. If you're close to Bowburn, Tursdale, Spennymoor etc, this is the place you should be training at!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Can't recommend highly enough. Dan and Ryan are amazing at what they do in running the gym and what they do with their clients.

Fantastic experience: Great Saturday morning Yoga session!

Fantastic experience: I joined FlexAbility to get back into exercise and help manage my mental health. The trainers are great fun but work you hard and know their stuff. I would be lost now without these sessions and I’ve met some lovely people in the last 6 weeks. Would recommend for anyone

Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t thank Dan, Ryan and Sam enough for pushing me and having the patience to put up with me. In the short time I was have been good the amount my health and fitness has improved is incredible. Their knowledge and understanding is too notch and I can’t recommend enough anyone who interested in improving their fitness/lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: A one stop shop for all round well-being! Physical fitness, mental well-being and as much nutritional support as you need! Dan always makes himself available and is surrounded by a strong team of PT’s focussed on individuals needs delivering cardio, weights, massage, yoga & nutrition. Highly recommend Flexability Fitness!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great people. Trainers have excellent knowledge and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. Brilliant environment to train in so pleased I joined

Fantastic experience: Been to a lot of gyms over the years and I have to say this one by far beats them all, the team at flexibility are second to none and could not ask for more. They are very invested in each person who walks through the door and it’s safe to say this will be the gym I stick with for sure. Could not ask for more if I tried, thanks lads

Fantastic experience: I recently joined as a way to get back in to fitness and for my mental health being alone a lot of the time. I love it already and it's only been 3 weeks, Dan and the boys are so friendly but make you work hard!! The classes are great and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to up their fitness or just for a chat and a laugh!!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this gym anymore!! Dan and the lads are fantastic instructors and keep you motivated throughout the sessions. There’s nothing pretentious about the gym and it’s such a friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for a welcoming environment to workout in then Flexibility Fitness is for you!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to. They have a variety of programmes and this is the first gym I have never gotten bored. In the past I have joined a few gyms including commercial, CrossFit, powerlifting and many other independent gyms. Generally I stay at a gym for around a year at most before moving on for various reasons. However since joining this gym I have not had 1 thought of leaving. This is the first gym I have found which I know genuinely cares for it’s members. Coaches all know there stuff and push all members to reach there goals. There are no cliques, no gossipers and honestly everyone is very supportive and very encouraging of one another. This is a real gym community . So pleased I found your gym Dan and thank you to all the coaches and members for providing such a positive experience. I am definitely going to stay

Fantastic experience: Wow…what an experience! Having been a member of Flexibility Fitness over the last year I can honestly say what a fantastic Team, environment, and membership collective Dan Long has created. Originally a member of his unique ‘Transform’ Program the results that I saw and experienced were amazing. It was great to step into such a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, Dan and his team push you, but make it enjoyable, inspirational, and really create a sense of achievement. No session was the same, combining strength, Yoga, strength, conditioning and ‘good ol calorie burning’, as well individual and team sessions. Dan’s philosophy, culture and way of working is very much around supporting you to be your best self, providing coaching and support in not just fitness, but well-being, and also nutrition. Aside from the fitness side of things, Dan has worked hard to create a community, that also supports local charities such as St Cuthbert’s Hospice. I’ve had a brilliant time with Flexibility fitness and would thoroughly encourage and recommend anyone popping in to see Dan and the team.

Fantastic experience: I first started training with Dan as soon as it became possible following the lockdown easing. Since this time I have learnt a great deal in relation to all areas of fitness and nutrition. My plan on attending was to get fitter to return to working as a mountain guide. Whilst thinking at that time I was not too unfit how wrong I was. Since training with Dan three times most weeks I have lost around two stone in weight and my fitness has improved no end. I have returned to guiding and have also undertaken further outdoor qualifications. The work I have done with Dan has certainly created a functional fitness which crosses a number of disciplines. When first attending the gym at the age of 51 I did so with some trepidation. I need not have worried Dan is extremely welcoming as are all of the other gym users. Classes are set to cover different abilities and are always underpinned with a supportive environment created by Dan and supported by all other gym users. I have tried other avenues for fitness but this is the first one which I have made real progress with. I can certainly recommend Dan Long as a personal trainer and Flexibility Fitness as a gym without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: 5 star gym and a proper community. All of the trainers, Dan, Ryan and Sam are amazing and knowledgable to ensure you as an individual reach all your fitness goals. Go on take those first steps you will not regret it - your first steps back to fitness

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym to anyone. Beginners, intermediates, people of all fitness levels. These guys really know their stuff. Classes are an absolute buzz and you can’t help but want more. I’ve just finished a 6 week kickstart programme and went from 3 classes per week to 5 and loved every minute. My only regret is not going sooner. Well done Dan, Ryan and Sam

Fantastic experience: Had to leave this gym due to moving to Scotland but can safely say it’s the best gym I’ve ever been to! Dan, Sam and Ryan are fantastic trainers, extremely accommodating and encouraging and the gym has such an amazing can-do atmosphere! Dan even offered to give me a free month training in the gym when I’m back from uni on a break which is so appreciated. The lads really care about their clients and gym and it shows!

Fantastic experience: I really can’t praise this gym enough. Dan, Ryan and Sam are the absolute best, they really care and want to help you achieve the best you can be. They are very knowledgeable and can help everyone, no matter what their level of ability or injury, because of this the classes are very inclusive and nobody feels left out. This gym has now become an essential part of my life, benefiting not only my physical but also my mental health. It really is a supportive community that’s benefits all of its members.

Fantastic experience: Love the place highly recommended ❤

Fantastic experience: I can already see the difference not only with my physique but on the rugby field as well highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'm two weeks into my membership at FlexAbility, and it's been great. Dan has created a fantastic environment to train in, and it is obvious that he cares about the members always taking time to correct and improve your technique where required. Highly recommended, and roll on tomorrow morning.

Fantastic experience: I joined flexibility fitness just before the second lockdown. Dan is a great trainer who really knows his stuff. He goes above and beyond to make sure he gives his clients what they need. during lockdown he has allowed me to borrow equipment and sessions have been done through zoom. Dan is full of energy and the sessions varied with an element of fun. On top of this Dan prioritises recovery and looking after your body. I’d Definitely recommend flexibility fitness to anyone

Fantastic experience: Started the 6 week kickstart programme as a complete beginner. I was nervous about starting but I'm 2 weeks in (and 5.6lbs lighter) and already feel like part of their flexability family. Dan and Ryan have made me feel so welcome they are so supportive while still pushing you to your limits! 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my first session in the gym I have arthritis in both my knees but dan modified all of my routines. Hopefully I can enjoy more sessions there,very helpful and gives you the push that you need which you don't get from regular gyms. Thanks Dan

Fantastic experience: After a little bit of a lay off from fitness I was apprehensive about getting back into training. I wanted something where I could still be challenged, but different from a typical gym environment, and that’s exactly what you get with FlexAbility Fitness. Great variation of classes that are tailored for all abilities and a welcoming atmosphere. Dan is a great trainer who has made my return to fitness an enjoyable one. I would highly recommend the gym to anybody looking for their next challenge!
