FBC Harrogate - Full Body Conditioning

Fantastic experience: I've hesitated to join this gym believing it to be too tough for a woman over 70. Eventually decided to bite the bullet after talking with Dave. I love it . No it isn't easy but there are different levels for all abilities. Dave is super friendly and knowledgeable. I can't recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: A gym with heartbeat and banter. Support, encouragement and friendships. A great space to go easy or as hard as you need with great results from Dave and his continuous guidance through whatever path you are walking. A MUST join gym imo

Fantastic experience: I love going to FBC it’s a friendly and inclusive gym and I’m seeing really good results doing 3-4 classes a week. Dave is a fab trainer and the classes are a really great workout with plenty of variety each week. All abilities are covered and everyone encourages each other I’m so glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: Starting Group Training with Dave three years ago was a turning point for me, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. For years, I struggled to find an exercise routine that worked - I’d either lose motivation or end up sidelined with injuries. As a last resort, I decided to try Dave’s group training sessions. The sessions are short, varied, and held with a fantastic group of people. and easy on the joints! You’re encouraged to work at your own pace, and Dave is not only highly knowledgeable but also brings fun and energy to every session and offers a load of sound nutritional advice. After multiple knee surgeries and a ruptured Achilles , I had struggled with regular exercise and had gained weight and was starting to face some health issues as a result. But thanks to Dave’s support and expertise, I now feel healthier than I have in years. I’ve even managed to run a half marathon with my kids—something I never thought possible. If you’re looking for a supportive, effective, and enjoyable way to get fit, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dave’s group training sessions.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love FBC, it’s so much more than a gym, Dave is a great trainer, the classes are fun but tough, Dave is great at altering exercises if you have an injury and at making sure the fan is nearby!!! FBC has a great atmosphere and I recommend it to everyone. It really does boost my mood when I’m feeling down. Thanks Dave!

Fantastic experience: Dave is very helpful in setting goals and encouraging you to achieve- I set off easy but am now pushing harder in my training because of the great atmosphere in the classes and the team spirit it engenders. Really enjoying the time there.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to classes twice a week for a few months now and they have been fantastic. It's a friendly environment and is a lot more motivating than the gym. Dave does a fantastic job of leading the classes and making adjustments if you have any injuries or niggles.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, Dave’s great at checking in. The classes really work for keeping me motivated. The classes are a good mix of abilities and have a great inclusive feel. Lost consistent weight and have gained strength resulting in better results than going to the gym on my own.

Fantastic experience: I am really enjoying my time at FBC. Great classes and atmosphere. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a place where you feel encouraged, challenged, and part of a team.

Fantastic experience: 45 mins of varied exercise tailored to target the correct areas. This is what Dave is good at. Love a good sweat session with my gym buddies. Feel great for the rest of the day too.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere great people great trainer

Fantastic experience: Super family ski fitness season, Dave is great…. We all loved it, and the boys are desperate to do it again… Well done Dave and Thanks very much…

Fantastic experience: My reason for joining FBC was not necessarily only for weight loss or specific body targets, I needed somewhere to let off steam and something to give me a break from life in general and help with my mental health, it’s a great place with genuinely lovely, none judgemental people where you can be yourself and have a few hours a week to just focus on you. Dave is amazing at what he does, he’s built an incredible business with a genuine focus on people and what they need. I’ve had help with personalised dietary needs, problem areas and have never felt stupid for asking questions. Dave is persistent with keeping in touch and checking in, he genuinely cares. I’m currently leaving for a while to have a baby and I was really worried at first that I would have to stop going to the gym all together but Dave is fully trained in pre and post natal and has really held my hand through training while being pregnant. Couldn’t have asked for more! Can’t wait to get back to it after I’ve popped!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this place enough. Exercise just wasn’t my thing but this has been pretty life changing. My health, strength and mood has improved so much and every time I go I feel welcomed and never regret it. Dave is ace at what he does and a lovely guy. As a mum it’s hard to make a bit of time for yourself but I’m so glad I did. I can keep up (ish) with with my boys now! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym to train and maintain fitness. Dave is brilliant, helpful, always encouraging and a good laugh. It’s a supportive environment with other members. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the classes, good variation and Dave makes them as fun as possible!

Fantastic experience: I love it at FBC. Dave always makes classes interesting and fun. Everyone is super encouraging, all age ranges and genders welcomed. Dave helps anyone from being a beginner to more advanced. Supports you to grow and get stronger. Whatever your ambitions are he coaches you to reach your goals. He is also very knowledgeable about nutrition, so encourages you to enjoy a balanced lifestyle, but make better choice. I would encourage everyone to join FBC.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to FBC Harrogate for nearly 3 months and I can honestly say Dave has been absolutely fantastic. He motivates, encourages and offers full support. The groups are fabulous with a variety of different people of all ages, shape and sizes. The classes are well structured and tailored within the class to each individuals progress. There’s lots of different equipment available to use. Help with nutrition is also available which is very helpful if you don’t understand different categorise. I love going to the classes….. thanks Dave

Fantastic experience: Functional/Circuit training at it's very best. Following covid I found Dave and all he sets out to achieve with you personally exactly what I needed. Great classes, great atmosphere, great family feel. Dave then also adds an extra level of focus on ones self to push for your own development. Each class allows you to push where you want. Never looked back since joining, never will.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dave at FBC Harrogate. His expertise, focus and drive is so motivating and I feel so comfortable when training with the rest of the group. There is no judgement based on levels of abilities within the group and Dave will tailor make exercises which for me having an injury is fantastic. The groups are smaller and inclusive, the excercises varied and there's plenty of equipment for everyone who are at different levels of fitness. I feel for the first time in a long time that I am on the right road for my health and fitness and I could not do it without the support and guidance of Dave and the other members.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy these classes and the atmosphere at the FBC gym. Dave pushes me to get fitter and stronger in a really supportive way and we have fun w the rest of the class too.
