Chrysalis Lifestyle & Fitness

Fantastic experience: Kate has been absolutely amazing at helping me regain my confidence and strength after pregnancy and I enjoyed all my sessions. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Clean, spacious gym with modern equipment focussed on weight training. Highly professional and knowledgeable staff who tailor programmes to your needs.

Fantastic experience: Joel, Kate and the team at Chrysalis do a great job. It's a superb environment with excellent equipment and everyone is really friendly too

Fantastic experience: This is a special kind of gym. It is dedicated to achieving your fitness objectives. So, no posing, no sitting on machines with your phone, no Instagram shots, just working with your personal trainer. They change the programme on a regular basis. The equipment is excellent and you never need to wait as your trainer moves you on to another exercise if someone is using your next piece of equipment. Time flies when you are being pushed to do it right, stop cheating, stop skiving and achieve your objective. I like it very much and would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: Kate has supported me over many years, providing excellent advice on exercise and diet that has not only helped me to improve my level of fitness but has ensured that it is sustained over time. Personal training in a modern, well equipped gym facilitates a true sense of ‘time for myself’. The best thing is getting the gentle ‘push’ to do more than I would on my own. Thanks to the Kate and Chrysalis team for their enthusiasm and encouragement for a healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Kate and the Chrysalis space were fantastic at getting me back to training again. After a major op I was nervous about hurting myself and Kate listened to my concerns, helping to rebuild my confidence in strength training, without taking any risks. Her expertise was invaluable and I’m so grateful for the time she spent helping me.

Fantastic experience: A huge 5 stars and more for this amazing place with equally talented trainers. My journey from June last year to now has been legendary I so thoroughly recommend this place for so many reasons xx

Fantastic experience: A fantastic PT I have learnt so much and feel great. Fantastic place to train, in the Hale area.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and trainers

Fantastic experience: Such a relaxed and professional environment

Fantastic experience: My Son started sessions with Steve here and the difference in him is amazing. As well as teaching him the correct techniques for training with weights, Steve also mentored him in nutrition and self improvement

Fantastic experience: My experience with Kate has absolutely been 100%. She invested in you and your goals. I am healthier stronger. body aware. I am so thankful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Place to train, Been training with Steve for around 5 years now and had some great results. Will be recommend to anybody who is looking to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and a friendly and professional team - my training sessions with Steve are always fun, I’ve seen improvements week in week out and always with a focus on safely pushing myself. Definitely recommended

Fantastic experience: Fantastic one-on-one training with Joel… really great results with a change of programme every 3-4 weeks which keeps me motivated!

Fantastic experience: Steve changed my life when it came to understanding not only gym work but what I was putting in my body in terms of nutrition as well as recognising injuries and doing appropriate rehab. With Steve we developed a good relationship with food that I didn’t have before which made everyday eating a lot easier. Learning how different foods make you feel and that way knowing what to cut out to make cutting weight a lot easier. We developed skills in cutting weight and adding weight through cuts and bulks as well as living life and working a 9-5. Not just living in the gym and counting calories. I can’t recommend Steve enough, he really helped me turn my life around and I can’t thank him enough either.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Tim Jeffers for over a year now, and he is a very dedicated and knowledgeable trainer, that takes a genuine interest in your goals and goes out of his way to help you achieve them, whether that be tailored nutrition plans (to the extent of providing meal options to hit macro goals) or adapting workouts to accommodate injuries or mobility issues. He has helped me not only with my training and nutrition, but also with my mobility, taking the time at the end of every session to work on this with me. In regard to Chrysalis, I was very impressed with the breadth of equipment, as well as the relaxed nature of the gym. There is a multitude of free weights and machine weights, all recently installed. The gym might be small, but it is very airy and provides everything needed for a great session. I couldn’t recommend training with Tim Jeffers at Chrysalis enough.

Fantastic experience: It’s great to be able to go to a PT only venue with such great equipment. Steve has really taken the time to understand my situation and the work outs are tailored perfectly to my needs. I have been a member of many gyms over the last 30 years and tried many PTs and this is by far the best set up I have experienced.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Steve Fone at Chrysalis for over 3 years , wanting to be strong and active as I head for retirement. Steve is so experienced in developing a ‘whole package’ covering nutrition, lifestyle, mental approaches to stress for example, as well as tailoring training to suit me throughout various periods in the last few years. He researches and uses his knowledge to prepare individualised training and development plans to suit me at any given time. I’m so impressed and highly recommend him. I cannot imagine how I’d have managed the recovery from long covid without his positivity and understanding. And I’m through after 12 months getting stronger, training harder again, I’d never had done that on my own without his support.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Tim twice a week for 6 months now and I’ve seen huge improvements in strength and general fitness. What’s impressed me most is how knowledgeable Tim is about fitness and how to train, he’s just graduated from Salford University with a sports science degree so I know I’m getting the very best and most up to date advice.

Fantastic experience: Kate and the team at Chrysalis are amazing. They have worked incredibly hard to create a warm and welcoming environment to train and progress in. The facilities are head and shoulders above other gyms I’ve been in and all the trainers are approachable. Kate has been my trainer for 5-ish years and have remained attentive and has built a training programme that responded to my needs and adapted it as needed over the years. If you are going to invest in your health and fitness, Kate and the team at Chrysalis are the team should speak to - I’d certainly recommend them in a heart-beat.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Chrysalis for 3.5 years now and really appreciate the attention to detail and the personalised programme, which has delivered real improvement in my strength and general health and fitness. Steve is an excellent trainer - encouraging and non-judgemental. He was very creative in developing an achievable (and covid safe) programme even during the various lockdowns of the last two years. The gym is very clean and well maintained and the number of clients training at any one time is kept to a minimum.

Fantastic experience: This is a very good facility with a great set of training equipment. Moreover, the trainers are very knowledgeable, and the sessions contain a lot of nutritional and general guidance. My trainer, Steve, who was a professional national athlete, adopts a strength-building training strategy, but his sessions are complemented by healthy nutrition and lifestyle advice. I feel so lucky to have come across him and to be training with him.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Steve about 3 months ago and I have noticed much more positive change in my body during this time, than the last year I have spend in the gym doing my own thing. I am training with similar intensity as I have previously, but the results are coming much quicker with thanks to the tips on technique and nutrition, as this was something that was clearly holding back my progress before. Steve is great, he is very responsive of whatsapp and will always find time to answer any random questions I have. We do all of our sessions remotely and the quality of the service provided maked me feel like I am training in the gym with him! I would reccomend Chrysalis to anyone :)

Fantastic experience: The facilities are top quality and always immaculate. The trainers are friendly and highly knowledgable in all aspects of health and fitness. Strongly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been absolutely delighted & thoroughly enjoy my training with Kate. Prior to training with Kate I had back issues, my back is now much better & I have far fewer visits to the osteopath!! Mike

Fantastic experience: I first met Joel at Hale Country Club around 5 years ago, this man is a legend, he can whip anybody into shape. He keeps you on the straight and narrow and I have been seeing him 3 times a week, this helps me mentally and physically get through life. For a short period of moving from Hale Country Club to his new gym I trained with a different trainer. There are multiple personal trainers about but none that compare to our Joel. I would highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: Excellent, clean, well equipped facility. Great advice, very professional and varied training regimen from experienced trainers.

Fantastic experience: An amazing place to train. A first class facility with very professional trainers

Fantastic experience: Luxury facility with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Love training with Kate, her style is supportive and educational meaning progress is consistent and achievable. Added benefit of decent tunes whilst you work out!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Chrysalis since it opened because Emma is the best and I wouldn't go to anyone else! Highly knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to personal training, she also has the ability to understand individual clients in order to tailor her approach to their specific goals. She has the perfect balance of being motivational and encouraging, whilst at the same time being totally realistic. She also gives great advice on diet/food (again, realistic!) and supplements. She's also great fun and makes sessions enjoyable! As for the gym itself, the equipment is fantastic and being a small, PT only gym it's quiet and personal and there's never a queue for anything! The in-line body analysis is also great for tracking progress. As an added bonus, there's a Nespresso coffee machine - guaranteed to lure me into anywhere! I cannot recommend Chrysalis highly enough, the environment is warm and friendly and all of the PTs are excellent.

Fantastic experience: Joel has been fantastic!! I can honestly say since joining, Joel has continuously educated me. The whole experience so far has been eye opening and I have felt huge achievements along my journey. Not only that the facilities are second to none, the gym floor, the equipment and the showers are all a dream to use. Such a clean tidy environment it makes being there a pleasure. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Kate and can honestly say i’ve loved every session. Kate is super professional and very knowledgeable, she pushes me to my limits and has my goals always in mind. She has created an incredible gym, with high quality equipment and clean facilities. An added bonus for me is that there is a physio there. Pablo has been treating me for my lower back problems and whilst I have seen numerous physio’s over the years he is by far the best I’ve ever seen! I would highly recommend Chrysalis Fitness 10/10 Thank you Kate for an amazing experience x
