Peak Performance Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Flawless service, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Four years after i stopped regular training sessions at my rowing club i decided to finally get back into looking after myself and start going to the gym. After deciding i needed an extra bit of help i came across Lauren and we spoke about my goals and almost three months in i don’t know why i didn’t start sooner! Lauren has helped me to feel confident and find a love for exercising again and i can’t thank her enough. The gym has the best community and atmosphere which makes you feel so comfortable. Massive thank you guys!
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Lauren enough for everything she’s done for me. When I first started losing weight, I was nearly 22 stone and had spent years trying silly and unhealthy diets that left me a few stone lighter, but with loose skin and absolutely no confidence. Since working with Lauren, everything has changed. She’s helped me fall in love with training and fitness again, taught me how to fuel my body properly, and given me the motivation and support I never thought I’d find. For the first time in a very long time, I feel confident in my own skin. It’s not just about the weight loss (though I’m now 7 stone down, with more to go!)—it’s about the laughs, the friendships, the competition, and the incredible support network at Peak Performance. I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without the people there, and especially without Lauren’s guidance. If anyone is questioning where to go, I’ll always recommend Lauren and Peak Performance. After countless gyms, this is the first time I’ve truly done something for myself and felt amazing doing it.
Fantastic experience: The best gym experience I've had; my PT, Henry, has been brilliant re. coaching me through my various ailments - we had to start slowly but we've come a long way thanks to his patience, expertise & measured guidance. I've also completed a nutrition programme through Lauren & that was extremely helpful in identifying where I needed to improve on a day-to-day level. I feel a lot more energised, comfortable and mentally strong as a result of changing my diet. The more I can get into the gym the more I see & feel results; the level of attention to detail, attentiveness & care from all staff is fantastic, and the 1-1 PT/ nature of the fewer numbers attending means you get a much more personal experience than any other gym I've attended. Thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: A really inclusive environment where everyone is friendly and there is no judgement. Its about self improvement and open to everyone, be them super fit and competitive or those like me who are older and shall we say less defined body wise :-). Really enjoy my weekly sessions with Alex who is so supportive and good for a chat between exercises too.
Fantastic experience: Henry is great, he pushes me to do my best and encourages me all the way. He builds the programs to suit my aims and abilities. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Everyone at Peak Performance is really friendly and will always help, it's a really relaxed place to train.
Fantastic experience: The best
Fantastic experience: Really good gym, the team are really helpful and Henry has helped me to build my confidence and strength up. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Henry has helped me lose 10kg already, would recommend him to anybody looking for a PT and the Peak Performance gym has a really good environment and the staff are great.
Fantastic experience: Lauren is an amazing personal trainer and has made such a positive impact on my confidence and enjoyment of the gym. The gym has a welcoming, non-judgmental atmosphere with all the equipment you need. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always provides great feedback, and makes sure I feel fully supported in every session. No question ever feels silly, and she takes the time to explain everything clearly. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking to build confidence and feel good about their fitness journey!
Thank you Abby! Great to see your progress so far
Fantastic experience: I joined Peak Performance when my motivation to exercise was at an all time low but after just a few months, Lauren has completely transformed my attitude towards exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I’ve found a new love exercise and seen so many mental and physical benefits from having PT with Lauren. Lauren is so friendly and knowledgable and adapts the sessions to suit everyone’s ability. All of the staff are so friendly and it’s a very non-judgmental environment where everyone wants to help you achieve your goals. Honestly couldn’t recommend the gym enough, I have been on/off with exercising for years but feel that Lauren has really helped me to set realistic and achievable goals that I’ll be able to maintain long term.
Thanks Lila! You’re doing great
Fantastic experience: I honestly cannot recommend Lauren enough! She is an absolutely fantastic personal trainer who has completely transformed my approach to fitness. Thanks to her, I’ve fallen in love with the gym again, and I feel stronger, more confident, and happier than ever. Lauren’s expertise in the industry is second to none. She takes the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable, supported, and motivated, no matter their fitness level. Her passion and energy are contagious, making every session something to look forward to. She has created an incredible gym environment where everyone feels welcome. The community she has built is so friendly, and every class is not only effective but also so much fun. I truly believe that enjoying your workouts is key to staying consistent, and Lauren makes that possible. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who genuinely cares, pushes you to be your best, and makes the gym a place you love to be, Lauren is the one!
Love this Aoife! Thank you, it means a lot
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended - I have been training at Peak Performance over two years, including a rehabilitation period of 6 months. Lauren is really helpful, and has proved to be consistent and thoughtful in helping get back to a good level of fitness.
Thank you for your continued support Simon! We appreciate you
Positive experience: Service is okay but I honestly question if it's worth £160 a month because I felt that my experience wasn't personalised much at all. I was told I need to communicate with my trainer but it was never elaborated on what this communication was supposed to be, I personally never felt it necessary, but perhaps I'm just clueless to such an environment. The most communication I got was being told to write a schedule but what about people who don't feel motivated by such a thing? I also find £160 a month to be rather steep when you only get a one hour session a week, I would've thought such a price point would warrant more time together. Not to mention there is also a dog running around most the time which is rather unprofessional and quite dangerous not only for the patrons but the animal itself.
Hi “poppet”. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with us. Unfortunately, by providing a review with an anonymous account we can’t deal with your experience on a case by case basis to amend your frustrations privately by either adapting our services to suit you or providing a refund.
Our first review with less than 5 stars in 4 years so we take this seriously in addressing any issues to improve our product going forward. It seems there’s been some miscommunication somewhere and we’d like to fix it, if you could get in touch via email or phone then we can look into it for you. Posted on Boxing Day too! Not very festive
Here at Peak Performance we offer a variety of packages at different price points which is always discussed within your consultation. The package you opted for included: once per week PT (worth £35 p/s 4per month =£140), open gym membership (worth £35p/m), online training program (worth £40p/m), group Saturday class (worth £10p/m), Personalised Nutrition guidance. That’s £225 worth of value per month for you to take advantage of for £160per month!
Please consider that work goes into designing your personalised training plan, planning of your PT session, nutrition guidance as well as the hands on training session itself. Where as most gyms/personal trainers cost between £35-£45 per hour for the session alone with no further contact/guidance. We have tried to provide the best package possible to include everything as well as limiting the space to no more than 10 members training at one time so you’re never struggling for equipment and get high quality personalised experience at every step over a busy commercial gym.
We believe we provide a package that educates you in becoming as self sufficient as possible to set you up with skills for life, rather than holding your hand every time you step into the gym. More or less support is provided on a case by case basis. Of course we’re there to help you progress and oversee which is provided in your 1-1 as well as trainers always being around/on hand within open gym so you should always feel supported. Of course you should be communicating with your trainer and vice versa as to build a healthy client/trainer relationship so that they can help you with your specific needs as they occur.
If you’d like to provide some more details in private, get in touch so we can know who your experience was with and address appropriately.
Kind regards.
Fantastic experience: Excellent one 2 one service. 5star gym
Thank you Mark!
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Lauren at Peak Performance after losing my motivation for fitness and feeling low on energy. As a busy business owner, I wanted to find that spark for working out again and feel more energised for my day-to-day tasks. Lauren put together a program that fits perfectly with my lifestyle, including an app for workouts I can do outside of our sessions, which has been a great fit for me! Seeing her each week has helped keep me accountable and made it easier to prioritise my fitness again. I’m happy to say I actually enjoy going to the gym and exercising again! And a special mention to her dog, Nala, who brings a nice touch to each session. Thank you, Lauren, and the Peak Performance team for creating an incredible space!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to peak performance for nearly a year now and I can’t recommend the gym enough. Lauren my PT and the community at peak performance have helped me find my love for exercise and a healthy routine again. I’ve always felt intimidated and a little overwhelmed when I’ve joined larger gyms and this meant I never explored difference gym equipment and weights which eventually always led me to get bored and never get the results I was hoping for but this is completely not the case at peak performance. I thoroughly enjoy my PT sessions and group class on a Saturday morning but also for the first time feel comfortable coming to the gym alone and working through the varied sessions lauren has provided me with. With Lauren’s help I’ve not just been going to the gym but have made some really positive lifestyle changes which overall has meant I continue to see results and for the first time don’t feel like I’m on a crazy plan that I can’t sustain. I would highly recommend peak performance!
Fantastic experience: Quality atmosphere great sessions and amazing people running it keep up the good work guys
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Peak Performance for the past couple of years and can’t recommend this gym enough! As someone who has never been confident in going to the gym independently, Peak Performance and the community that Lauren and Alex have built has not only improved this, but also helped me to meet and make new friendships in a new town! Both Lauren and Alex are knowledgeable, approachable and hard working. Lauren will go out of her way to support you and is committed to seeing all of her clients reach their goals and will always be there to encourage and inspire! Classes are fun and varied and so are the weekly PT workouts, following a carefully planned programme to help to meet goals and improve fitness, strength and nutrition. Peak Performance is a special little place and I can’t wait to watch it continue to grow. 100% recommend to anyone - younger or older!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Peak Performance / with Alex for about 8 months now and have seen better results in that time, than in 9 years at the local leisure centre! Having personal training is a good idea in general if you want to start taking your fitness a bit more seriously, but going to someone you actually like makes all the difference. Alex is my pt - and he's not just a pt, but co-owner of this gym and an active professional footballer as well. Before I met him, I was a little intimidated by his bio - I wondered if he'd be too much of a lad and therefore hard for me to relate to... But there's a lot more to Alex than just football and the gym. He is a really friendly, genuine people person who can hold a conversation with anyone and his mix of regular male / female clients is proof of this. He's always pushing all his clients to do that little bit more every week and whilst he loves a chat between sets - he is always mindful not to let you gasbag your time with him away and to keep you working as much as possible. Overall he is a pleasure to work with and very professional. The gym itself is quite compact and might take a little adjustment if you're coming from big chain gyms like I had done. But you soon get used to it, and the number of people using it at any one time is always moderated to avoid overcrowding. There is also a massive car park out front with loads of turning space, which is never full.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant
Fantastic experience: A fab independent community & results driven gym! Lauren is a fantastic and supportive PT - I feel stronger and more confident in the gym, even after just 2 months of 1:1 coaching. A top tier gym in Leek that I recommend to all my friends!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place and people
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, lovely friendly team, you can’t beat it!
Fantastic experience: The best gym community, wouldn’t be where I am without this gym
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and inclusive I’d definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Relaxed but effective. Lauren and Alex are really motivated to share their knowledge and experience to give you a training experience that works for you.
Fantastic experience: I have used Peak Performance for the last two years and have loved it. Lauren is a dedicated, knowledgeable and supportive PT who wants to see her clients win! The gym is a friendly, accessible space where you feel comfortable to try new things and my confidence has increased as a result of this. Both Lauren and Alex have changed my mindset towards the gym and exercise for the better, their classes are high energy, fun and always different. The community at Peak Performance is a result of their hard work and dedication. I highly recommend this gym to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I started online coaching with Lauren around 5 months ago now, and I cannot believe the progress I have made! I had been on and off with the gym for years, and Lauren has planned fun and effective sessions for me which has massively helped with my consistency. I’ve already met both performance and aesthetic goals by following Lauren’s sessions and nutrition advice! The gym has a lovely atmosphere with an amazing motivating community I’m so happy to be a part of, as people doing online coaching can still attend a class on Saturday mornings, and it’s clear that they welcome everyone regardless of fitness ability. I’ve never felt this confident in myself, and I can’t recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: I never felt confident with going to the gym and after starting with peak performance my confidence had grown massively both Lauren and Alex have made me feel so much more comfortable and confident, fully supporting me and encouraging me on. Lauren was always quick to answer my questions whether that be nutrition or helping me out with certain workouts and very patient. Alex’s hyrox classes are brilliant, leaving the gym always feeling proud of myself and strong. Couldn’t recommend them enough not just a gym but a great community of people! Everyone including their clients are always supportive and a great atmosphere to be around. Both smashing it! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Peak Performance enough. Lauren and Alex have created an amazing environment where everyone is welcome. Everyone is friendly and you can have a laugh at the same time as training. Loads of open gym sessions through the week and a class on Saturday morning meaning there’s loads of opportunity to get your sessions in. Can’t thank Lauren enough for helping me get to where I am now compared to last year.
Fantastic experience: I joined peak performance around 9 months ago with a goal to become healthier and lose some weight prior to my wedding. I’ve never been somebody who enjoys exercising and have never stuck at anything due to not enjoying it or having much motivation. Having Lauren as my PT has completely changed my mindset. Doing a mixture of weights and conditioning means that the exercises aren’t too overwhelming for a beginner, but you do see results super quick. There’s no pressure at all, but equally the option and support is there if you need it with additional sessions or nutrition advice. I now absolutely love the sessions and having a little routine. I have reached my weight loss goal and feel so good mentally and physically. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym which is not cliquey and welcomes all levels of fitness. Lauren is an educated trainer who gets results whilst also teaching you to love fitness and health!
Fantastic experience: Excellent PT sessions, for someone like me who hasn't done any form of fitness for over 15 years, I never imagine I could enjoy the gym again but I love it. The gym equipment is great, friendly gym go'ers and the gym mascot is a definite highlight to any session
Fantastic experience: Great parking, great equipment, great people, great experience.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Gym with great trainers and facilities. Would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had PT was Lauren for nearly a year now and it has been the best lifestyle choice I have made. Friendly and welcoming as a beginning, I have made massive progress and have been pushed within my limits. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly people and environment. They are very good in helping you to understand the workouts and complete everything safely. I feel a lot more confident since going here and could not recommend Lauren enough as a PT
Fantastic experience: I joined Lauren’s mum fitness class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lauren is supportive , motivational and pushed me to do better. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Best PTs in leek! I personally had Alex and he was great. Alex was supportive, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Peak Performance to anyone interested.
Fantastic experience: If you need a PT deffinatly the place for you. From the friendly and helpful staff to the great space you will work out in , with everything you will need to Improve your fitness. Deffinatly recommend to anyone what ever your ability is!
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities with encouraging and professional coaches. Loving the new gym too!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable PT’s. Highly recommend to anyone regardless of your goals!
Fantastic experience: Peak Performance is the ideal set up for a 1 to 1 service without the distraction and pressures of a ‘normal’ gym environment. I’ve been seeing Lauren for weekly PT sessions for around 6 months now and it’s hands down the best decision I’ve made for myself. I’m so much happier and confident not only in the gym, but in general too. Lauren is attentive, professional and invested in all of her clients - whist being able to have a laugh and help you get the best out of your session. I’m sure Alex and Dolf’s clients would say the same about them! I would highly recommend Peak Performance to anybody who is looking to better themselves, both physically and mentally!
Fantastic experience: I have always wanted to be able to go to the gym and know what to do when I’m there but also felt very self conscious and uncomfortable. With Lauren’s help over the past few months I have gained so much confidence and I’m able to happily go to the gym alone. During PT sessions Lauren will help with posture and lifting techniques, it’s never once been overwhelming for me as she is patient and calm. We also have a laugh during the sessions which helps! I can’t recommend Lauren and Peak Performance enough as they’ve helped to build my confidence so much, I actually look forward to going to the gym now!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and really friendly staff, it’s got a really welcoming feel to it which is unlike most gyms I’ve trained in. I’ve had some PT sessions with Alex who has really helped me with my technique on movements I’ve not been confident in and he’s really pushed me forward with my training. I’ve also had some sessions with Dolf to help me recover from a shoulder injury and his knowledge and professionalism was second to none. I’m now pain free in my shoulder which is something I thought I never would be. I’d highly recommend Peak Performance to anyone needing help with their training
Fantastic experience: I started with Lauren doing a mums fit class and enjoyed it so much I started doing PT with her. She's been incredibly supportive to someone who didn't like exercise and she wasn't judgmental that I didn't know what I was doing or that I was fat or that I didn't have the right gym gear. I actually don't hate exercise anymore and it's all thanks to her.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Peak Performance for around 6 months now and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to start their fitness journey. Lauren & Alex are both friendly, highly knowledgeable and offer great services to all!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Alex and Lauren for over a year, when I started I weighed 40kg my goal was to gain weight and become stronger, in just over a year I’ve added 7kg and now weigh 47kg, I’m a lot stronger than I was and have so much more energy! Alex and Lauren have also made me more knowledgeable and given me the confidence to go to the gym alone Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I've been with Alex now for the best part of two and a half years, between him and Lauren they have helped me from my very lowest and helped me achieve objectives I didn't ever think I'd achieve! I would highly recommend anyone that is looking to better themselves even in the smallest way to reach out to either of them as they take each and every client head on and put 100% into not just there physical wellbeing but also there mentally!
Fantastic experience: I've been using this gym and being trained by Lauren for the past few months, and find the set up, her knowledge, and the overall atmosphere there to be excellent. Lots of gyms are intimidating and overcrowded, but it's the opposite here - it's a friendly space where you can train and progress.
