Fantastic experience: A lovely, lively place to train for all abilities. Great coaches who are sympathetic to your goals and extremely knowledgable. A happy place to train for all abilities.
Fantastic experience: I started with Apex fitness of August this year after having looked around extensively for a one to one personal trainer and I am so pleased to say that I have found such a welcoming and professional set up. Adam has made me feel incredibly comfortable since I have started my fitness journey and puts me at ease but more importantly he puts me through my paces with great expertise, humour and patience which has made my experience with APEX so valuable. I could not recommend APEX more highly for any person at any fitness level. Thank you to Adam, Steph and the team for all of your efforts and on-going support. Could not have asked for any better. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: I'm on my last week of my 6 week start up and all I can say is it's the best thing I've ever done. I found myself in a rut about getting back into fitness after having my little girl, motivation low, excuses high. Now I get mad if I miss a session!! Steph and Adam are amazing, supportive, knowledgeable, friendly and a great laugh! The sessions are a great mix of cardio and weights that gives you a variety of exercises. After 6 weeks I've noticed a massive improvement in my fitness, mind and self esteem. What a fabulous gym and friendly atmosphere, with a really nice bunch of guys and girls. Thank you Functional Fitness!! Xx

Fantastic experience: A very special family run gym. Steph and Adam are a fantastic mix of support, motivation, education and importantly fun ! They cater for all abilities and no man or woman is left behind. The group sessions are hard work and loads of fun, I always come away feeling motivated, empowered and exhausted. I have also started working 1 on 1 with Steph to improve my strength and I look forward to that hour every week - its like therapy !! I couldn't recommend this place highly enough and Steph and Adam have poured their heart and soul into it - exciting things ahead !
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend functional fitness to anyone. I started training with Steph in August and was a complete beginner. She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease, I currently feel fitter than I ever have and I am loving training! I also really enjoy attending the classes too, Steph and Adam have created such an inclusive environment that makes anyone feel welcome regardless of ability.
Fantastic experience: I have never been a lover of exercise and known to try a number of gyms round Southport and they have never been quite right (or more importantly I have never stuck to them).. until I joined Functional Fitness! I have been coming for a while now and honestly I couldn't imagine going to another gym now, the support from Steph and Adam is fantastic and they are such wonderful trainers and the members make the gym what it is!
Fantastic experience: Joining functional fitness is the best thing I have done in years. I first joined to do the classes only which straight away I felt welcomed into and encouraged immensely by Steph and Adam! They have built a community to be proud of with clients that love their gym.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Steph have really helped me make progress in my strength and endurance thanks to their guidance. If you're looking for a gym that combines expertise, variety, and a friendly community, this is the place to be!
Fantastic experience: I joined Functional Fitness to try to improve my fitness and maintain a healthier lifestyle. I was recommended this gym by friends and it’s easy to see why. Steph and Adam are truly amazing. They’ve been the best motivators and are always professional. I’ve seen my fitness level improve so much since I’ve been going. Every exercise session is different and I’m constantly being encouraged to try new things. This gym is targeted to match every fitness level, from beginners to advanced, with no one feeling left feeling out of place. If you’re after a friendly, encouraging gym, that will leave you sweating, then this is the one for you. Massive thank you to Steph and Adam! I really appreciate how committed you are and how great you’ve been with me.
Fantastic experience: Joined functional fitness on the 6 week program and already seeing the benefits of it. At the start felt nervous about going but Adam and Steph are amazing at what they do and make you feel very welcome and supportive and any questions or advice they go out there way to help you with.The people that go are very friendly and supportive making you feel part of the group. The gym has great equipment and everything you need.Would highly recommend for anyone new or who loves going to the gym won’t be leaving anytime soon !!!
Fantastic experience: I joined functional fitness in September 2022 to help me regain my fitness levels following being diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago. Adam and Steph have been amazing from the start, friendly yet professional. My main worry was that I wouldn’t be able keep up in class and I’d get left behind. This is not the case the exercises are adapted to suit my fitness ability and I don’t feel pressured to keep up! I attend the ladies over class which has a fun atmosphere, but we get the support we need to get stronger! So I would definitely recommend functional fitness, it’s a lovely family run gym which is well equipped with fantastic knowledgeable coaches that accommodate anyone, whatever age and abilities. Join now, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: Always a fun atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. The energy Steph and Adam bring to every class encourages me to give it my all! I’ve been going to 121 PT sessions with Max which have really helped me to progress in my training and develop a more balanced relationship with the gym, food and sleep. 10/10 would definitely recommend if your looking for a PT. I always feel the benefit of going to functional fitness :)
Fantastic experience: I had not done any physical fitness for over 10 years due to ill health. Now in my 50's I decided to was time to get fit. I was recommended to go to Functional fitness. I started training in February 2023 with Steph and have not looked back. Due to my on going health problem she designed a personal workout for me. I'm feeling stronger and more alive than ever. Would definitely recommend anybody, any age and any ability to join. Adam & Steph are extremely professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Although I've always been physically fit and active. I decided as I reached 70 it might be wise to seek the guidance of an experienced coach. Adam was recommended to me. I met and explained my goals to Adam and have been doing a 1-1 with him for 3mths now. My weekly routines with him are varied, each exercise is explained and demonstrated. With his advice and help I have improved my home routines as well. If you are keen to improve your fitness and understanding of how to exercise. Then Functional Fitness is a good place to try.
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Adam 1-2-1 on a weekly basis since 2020 and I'm overwhelmed with the progress I have made over the last 3 years. The variety in fitness programs have pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I feel stronger and healthier after each passing workout. Coupled with nutritional advice, as well as monthly social events held by the business, it feels more like a family than it does a group of individuals at a public gym. Adam and Steph made the jump to become business owners, and it has paid off with great success, including more PT'S, a bigger site to improve their gym with new equipment and more group space. Here's to endless successes, more clients, more events, and hopefully partnership deals with other fitness companies.
Fantastic experience: Always a fun atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. The energy Steph and Adam bring to every class encourages me to give it my all! I’ve been going to 121 PT sessions with Max which have really helped me to progress in my training and develop a more balanced relationship with the gym, food and sleep. 10/10 would definitely recommend if your looking for a PT. I always feel the benefit of going to functional fitness :)
Fantastic experience: Everything you could ask for really, great environment and great trainers, Adam and Steph run amazing classes and have a really good approach to personal training. Highly recommended,
Fantastic experience: Been Training with Adam for almost a year now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Lovely family run business and they know how to get you fit.
Fantastic experience: Excellent circuit training sessions! Cater for all fitness abilities. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to get stronger and fitter - this is the place for you. All the classes are planned to work on different muscle groups but not through boring repetition - Adam uses his extensive imagination (and knowledge) to produce engaging and fun classes - Highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Hands down, best choice I’ve made training at functional fitness! I have been having pt sessions with Steph, she is very knowledgeable and pushes you at every session to achieve your goals.
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Adam and Steph enough Enjoyable classes in a friendly environment Small classes or 1 to 1 available Plenty of different size weights available and cardio equipment also Can not believe how much fitter and toner I am since joining - give them a try - best thing I did
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym and wonderful people. Steph and Adam develop individual fitness programmes that push you to where you want to be and more! 100 out of 10!

Fantastic experience: What can be said?! Fun, engaging and motivating but with a serious goal of helping people get fit, achieve their goals and stay engaged in the process. Genuinely good people with good intentions. Highly recommended by me
Fantastic experience: What a place the team in this place is fantastic. Iv been training with Steph for years, this lady is a machine...she helped me mentally and physically, she's helps you achieve your personal goals and makes the impossible possible. I would 100% recommend them for your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding. Not only are the equipment facilities first class, the're used to maximum effect by trainers Steph and Adam. Whether an individual PT session or group class, you will definitely feel the benefits of their experience. Plus, the other added benefit it is very welcoming and fun to go to..A rare thing in my experience.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Steph are extremely welcoming and helpful. They have created an atmosphere that makes you want to achieve your goals in a fun environment. Classes are challenging but they work you hard to ensure you get the best out of your time working out. Workouts are always different which keeps the classes interesting whilst pushing you to try something new each time.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Steph are amazing. I do both the group sessions and the 1 to 1 sessions. The group sessions cater for all abilities( even us over 50’s carrying too much weight). Every session is different, the amount of weights and equipment means you can push yourself to weights you never imagined to could use. The small group sessions means you get to know everyone who all encourage and not judge. Loving the 1 to 1 session. Loads of advice on diet and motivation. Best gym in Southport.
Fantastic experience: LOVE these guys! Steph has been an incredible PT for me and adapting sessions to my needs. Never had someone be so accommodating and encouraging to help me meet my fitness goals before - this has made the experience all the more beneficial. If you’re a newbie to fitness or somewhere further along your journey then I’d recommend Functional Fitness in a heartbeat.
Fantastic experience: A lovely friendly environment, great fitness/nutrition advise and great workouts! I’d fallen out of my routine and almost given up and really needed someone to push me. Since joining just a month ago it has changed my life for the better. If the gym is scary to you then this is the perfect way to ease yourself in and feel comfortable no matter what level you are at with training. Lovely people, would recommend to anyone❤️
Fantastic experience: Really love this gym, Adam and Steph are really friendly. Moved with Adam when they opened the functional Fitness room and he does one to one sessions which cater for my needs in an un-intimidating atmosphere. They are both experienced and knowledgable trainers
Fantastic experience: An amazing fitness experience. Fabulous, friendly group sessions and very motivating trainers. Adam and Steph really push you, along with being fun and motivating. Challenging but in a positive way. I look forward to the sessions.
Fantastic experience: I would give this amazing gym a 5 * rating over other gyms I have attended ! Adam and Steph are not only committed to helping every person who joins them at functional fitness to become fitter but give nutritional advice and make the classes varied tough but fun I would highly recommend joining as no class or 1:1 session is the same !!
Fantastic experience: An excellent gym, well equipped & a great atmosphere. Highly motivated trainers who go above & beyond to support members. The workouts are challenging but fun, and they adapt to suit all abilities. Great for the body & the mind. Can’t recommend them enough.
Fantastic experience: Steph and Adam are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. I have been training with them for four years and Adam still manages to find new and interesting ways to push my boundaries and still managed to make muscles, that I never knew I had, hurt. I consider them part of my family after so long and couldn't be prouder of the hard work and dedication they have put in to make their business a success. I would 100% recommend them and what they do to anyone
Fantastic experience: The most welcoming gym I’ve been too! Steph and Adam have made me feel so comfortable and been so welcoming. I never thought I’d look forward to my alarm going off at 5:30am three times a week to train at there 6am circuit training but I do. They have both really helped with my mental health, confidence and fitness. The gym is so inclusive and friendly. So if your looking to get fit, start some exercise or just feel comfortable in your own skin, join because you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: The best decision I made last year was joining Steph & Adam at Functional Fitness room. From the moment I joined I felt so welcome and encouraged, the team are brilliant and provide a really comfortable environment to exercise. Each session is different so it's never boring. I never believed I'd be the type of person that enjoyed exercising but I now am, the energy is infectious. I highly recommend !!
Fantastic experience: Steph and Adam have created a gym that is not only a community but a fun place to train, every session is different and genuinely a lot of fun. They understand that life is busy and fitness needs to be ‘functional’ for everyone. I joined a few months after having my second baby with some injuries and every workout is adapted to ensure I get the best out of it. It’s really helped me physically and mentally.
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Steph for over 4 years, she’s always gone above and beyond and has helped me not only physically but mentally too. Adapting work outs around injuries I’ve had since having a baby. Really helping improve form and techniques. As someone who can find group classes daunting, this is 100% not the case here. Steph and Adam have created a warm, welcoming and friendly environment at Functional fitness. With well thought out group classes that fit round busy lifestyles! I would highly recommend Functional fitness to everyone!
