Thank you John.

You’ve made great progress in your first 6 weeks. 8.5lbs weight loss, step count up, calories under control. Keep up the good work

Veer 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I started training at Proathlon a couple of months ago after a long break from regular exercise. I had also never done group sessions before so I was definitely nervous going in but the team is super friendly and put me at ease very quickly. The sessions are definitely intense and I'm getting some of the best workouts I've had in years, but they're also very approachable and include people of all ages and abilities. The trainers make a real effort to ensure everyone is getting the attention they need during a session and will be on hand to offer encouragement, alternative exercises where needed and safely push you to your limits. I'm really pleased I made the decision to give it a shot!

Thank you for the lovely review Veer.

Really pleased with your progress so far. You’re doing great. The legs might be a little sore tomorrow after the split squats today. Plenty of walking and moving around to help with the recovery.

See you next week

Xuemin Guan 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Proathlon for a 6 months now, mainly taking their strength training classes, and it’s one of the best fitness experiences I’ve had. What really sets Proathlon apart is the attention to detail from the coaches. Every session, I get frequent and specific feedback on my form, which has made a huge difference in my progress. The coaches are all very energetic and motivating, which makes even the toughest workouts feel enjoyable. The workouts are always fresh and varied, so you never fall into a routine or get bored. The programming is clearly well-designed, especially in the strength classes. Each session targets different muscle groups and feels balanced. While the workouts are definitely challenging, they’re also fun and engaging. I often leave each class feeling like I’ve had a proper workout. Finally, the coaches and staff are super friendly and approachable Highly recommend Proathlon to anyone looking to train seriously in a fun, supportive, and professional environment!

Louisa James 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place, and completely unlike any other gym I’ve been to. Despite being in the heart of busy London, it has a very personal feel, with trainers who focus on each individual’s needs and goals - from exercise to nutrition. They also somehow manage to make the workouts as fun at the same time as being extremely challenging. Rachel and Simon are hugely inspirational and motivational and it feels very special to be part of this environment. I can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: What an incredible set up this is. It feels so much more than your average chain gym. Rachel and Simon have the most wonderful and holistic approach to strength, health and fitness. They're not your average PTs and the team that work with them have the same ethos. They focus on every aspect of you as a human being. The vibe is friendly, professional and fun. It feels like an amazing exclusive club to be in on. Highly recommend! I am more motivated then I've ever been. Sinead

E DV 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recomment Proathlon enough. Let’s start with the concept, this small team group training is something I had never found nor experienced elsewhere and is just perfect to get started or improve in your weight training journey. I started with NO experience at all and the attention, care and technical knowledge of the team have helped me improve so much that I surprise myself everyday I go to Proathlon and see how I get better week by week. The training is so personalised, every coach actually cares about you and pushes your limits everyday. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and you feel like a part of the family. Proathlon is a gem. I feel stronger than ever and very happily go to the gym every week. What else could you ask for?

Sarina Patel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Proathlon around 9 months ago, after taking part in their initial introductory six week program. This is an excellent way to ease into the gym and I came out of this keen and motivated to continue as a member! The small group classes are great as the trainers can give you the attention and technical guidance which is especially important during weight training – they are always willing to answer any questions so that you get the most out of every workout. This is a massive benefit over some of the large group classes in the market. As this is a small community it is a great atmosphere to train, and I found that the trainers have all really got to understand my strengths and ability level and are able to therefore push me to improve week on week. Personally, I feel so much stronger and can see improvements in my training, alongside building up my confidence in the gym world! I went from finding excuses to get out of going to the gym to joining Proathlon and loving it! No matter what your experience level is, the trainers are always technically supportive, willing to help if you have specific issues, also relaxed/not intimidating and genuinely care. They are currently challenging me to take on other personal goals (e.g. Hyrox training) which i could never have imagined considering, while supporting me with tailored sessions! Big shout out to all of the trainers, I could not pick my favourite as they all bring so much to the table. Thank you to Simon, Rachel and the team!

Ed Hellaby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The best workout I have ever experienced. Having been a member of many HIIT gyms/classes in NY I decided to give Proathlon a try when working in London. Their boutique small group workout classes were incredible. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Simon , the trainer made sure I felt comfortable and was able to modify certain workouts for me. The space is really nicely put together. Instruction was super clear and he kept my form in check without being over bearing. Not intimidating class size. You couldn’t ask for more!

Avni Gupta 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent small group training sessions! I joined Proathlon three months ago after coming across it on google and reading numerous positive reviews. My experience has been fantastic! I spent many years going to the gym individually and taking personal training sessions for short bursts of time. Proathlon has completely changed my way of working out. The sessions are well designed to achieve certain goals (eg muscle growth, aerobic fitness or both). They are also rejigged every 6 weeks - this removes the mundaneness of going to the gym individually and doing the same workouts for long periods of time. At the same time the six week period allows you to see and measure your progress. Each class has a max of 6 participants, which really makes the classes very tailored to you. All of the trainers are brilliant - not only are they very knowledgeable and competent at what they do, they are friendly, approachable and always encourage you to push harder. Overall I would highly recommend Proathlon to anyone looking to kickstart their fitness!

Emma Walsh 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Proathlon! I started training at Proathlon about 3mths ago, after losing any kind of fitness routine during covid and with various home and job moves. I kicked-off with the six week challenge, which was great for a holistic look at everything from diet, to training and generally walking around - and good to be held to account, no more getting a taxi when I can easily walk to a meeting! I’m now doing two small group training sessions a week. All the trainers are really helpful with technique and challenge in the right way, and there’s a real sense of community and encouragement with other members.

I’ve never enjoyed the gym and always found it a bit intimidating, but this small group environment is perfect for me.

I feel so much fitter and healthier already and I genuinely look forward to every session, which is not something I ever thought I’d say!

Fantastic experience: I have been delighted by the positive effect Proathlon has had on my health and fitness. To start, you get a plan that helps you tailor your approach towards your goals. The team is accommodating to answer any questions while encouraging you to move towards your objectives. The classes are fantastic as all the instructors will accommodate your fitness level but will push you to grow. I was very impressed to have met people who have been members since the club opened ten years ago. When you get to that level of client loyalty, you know it is a quality. Overall, a 10 out of 10!

Fantastic experience: For someone who isn’t the biggest fan of working out, I have to say the team at Proathlon have been wonderful at making the experience enjoyable. I have been a member now for over a month and I am still thoroughly enjoying my fitness journey. The team are incredibly supportive, kind and overall fun. Their schedule is pretty flexible and they have several classes with a varied selection of different fitness levels that cater at all hours to fit in with our hectic lifestyles. I personally opt for the morning and evening sessions which work well with my career and parenthood. All the trainers are really knowledgeable and they all have a positive energy that make the sessions gratifying to participate in. The facilities are nice and clean and well looked after, this is definitely an added bonus for the post sweaty workouts. Simon has been great at supporting me and pushing me to my highest potential. Him alongside his team give sound advice, nutritional guidance and tips to support you on your journey. They set realistic goals and guide you on the best foot forward to achieve them. Overall, it has been a pleasure to be part of this little community and I highly recommend them as a fitness and health service.

Fantastic experience: Huge fan of this gym and would highly recommend to anyone looking for small group personal training in City. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable AND they take the time to get to know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses (literally). The classes are engaging and time-efficient, and the gym is easy to get to from Blackfriars. There are lockers and shower facilities on-site so they cover all the essentials, too. Lastly, they offer good value-for-money, so again would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started my trial with PROATHLON a few of weeks before the pandemic hit. The formula really worked for me - empathetic needs assessment, experienced trainers with a good sense of humour, able to work with all types and life-stages in small group training and extremely motivating. So despite moving office away from the gym and being in London just 2 days a week, I went back for another trial then treated myself to membership as the benefits of 2 sessions a week with PROATHLON trainers far exceed anything similar I have tried in the past - I feel great once I’ve been to a session (really!). Thanks Simon and team.

Fantastic experience: As a middle aged woman who is totally out of shape, who has never done weight training before, I was pretty nervous about walking through the doors at Proathlon. Having just completed my introductory trial I can honestly say it’s one of the BEST decisions I have ever made for myself. The team at Proathlon are just brilliant! The best at what they do - with a deep passion for ensuring their clients get the best outcomes . Whilst I still have some way to go I can already see changes in my body but also in my mental health . I feel so much more positive. Thank you Proathlon for creating a fantastic, fun , and inspirational place. Can’t wait to carry on !!

Emma Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rachel has transformed my understanding of and enjoyment of strength training. I started having two personal training sessions a week and sadly, only have the time now for one a week. Her knowledge is exceptional, as is her ability to understand my needs and personalise the sessions to meet them in a very bespoke way. No session is ever the same, yet I finish every one of them feeling like I’ve worked incredibly hard and yet I still have managed to enjoy them. Rachel also helps to develop my own knowledge so I am developing independence outside of her PT sessions. This has enabled me to plan my own sessions as well as exercising with my friends. I cannot recommend Rachel enough, her work is transformative, thank you

Fantastic experience: Simon and Rachel are so friendly. This is one of the best personal training and group training gyms in London. Down to earth people that all have one goal of getting healthy, fit and lean. The teams knowledge and experience is exceptional, especially around nutrition. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The classes are brilliant at PROATHLON because they’re small, so you get the fun of a class but loads of personal attention too. The trainers are fantastic - really motivating and encouraging. I love that it’s independent, not part of a big chain, you really feel part of the family. Lovely changing rooms too which is very important!

Fantastic experience: The level of training and support you receive at Proathlon is phenomenal. It is not a corporate place but a small business with real people who genuinely encourage you to accomplish your goals. I spent years dieting and exercising for the short term to lose weight quickly. It had never worked, and I was ready for a life change. I have been training with Simon for a few weeks, and he is fantastic, very professional, patient, and motivational. He has a great attitude that empowers you to work out even harder. Training with Simon and Proathlon has been exceptional, and I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Proathlon is an excellent personal training studio in a great location. Trainers are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. You are guaranteed to get results with these guys! Classes are fun as well as structured for progression. Apart from the personal training and classes, support is on going through nutritional advice and videos on mobility and flexibility to enhance progress and avoid injury. I throughly recommend Proathlon!

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of attending this gym for about 3 weeks now, and joined classes led by Rich, Simon and Ryan. I have never once worked out anything like I have done during their sessions and the guidance and energy you receive to push through are second to none. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and with the variety of classes available alongside the personal training sessions, Proathlon is definitely the place to go to achieve some goals and be incredibly well informed whilst doing so. I would highly recommend this gym and thats solely down to all of the trainers in there that bring a wealth of knowledge to the sessions they create in order to help you build strength and fitness. I've not been disappointed once and I don't think anyone else would be either!

Fantastic experience: Training with Rachel has been a brilliant experience. Her sessions are highly tailored to my individual needs. I've seen (and others have noticed) an improvement in my strength, body shape and health (sleep especially). Rachel has also given me lots of help with my diet. Can't recommend her highly enough - just wish I'd done it sooner!

Bonnie Smith 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Top class specialist fitness gym, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their tailored 1-2-1 PT sessions for progressional coaching and varied sessions. Excellent trainers, with good energy, super friendly bunch. More recently I signed up to the Get Lean programme and can honestly recommend to compliment any training programme. Having the sound grounding in nutrition basics with their excellent online resources, regular oversight from Simon, Rachel and the team along the way checking in and cheering me on, meant I got far better results than I ever expected! Best thing I've done to get myself back on the right nutrition track, since my training part was in good order. If you want a great team of trainers, high quality but straight forward fitness and nutrition advice, you can't go wrong with PROATHLON!

Mary Latham 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training online with Rachel for over a year and really recommend Proathlon. Previously I would do group classes at a gym or go for a run but it never seemed to make as much difference as I wanted. Rachel tailors the workout to target problem areas (injured or need toning) and also sorted my eating regime to achieve the weight loss I wanted such that it would stay off. She does the workout with me to keep me going but is watching my technique intently to make corrections. I positively look forward to the sessions as they’re fun and make a positive difference to my energy levels and physique. Really recommend them.

Fantastic experience: During the latest lockdown I have joined Proathlon’s online training sessions. Really good warm up, challenging circuits which are well explained and the instructor takes the time to monitor what you are doing and gives feedback during the class. A motivating experience. Thank you

Steve Burton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Proathlon is so much more than a gym.....it's about developing a sensible approach to your overall health. I have been a 'Proathloner' for many years now...its the complete package. Intense training sessions for people of all levels of fitness under watchful eyes: both encouraging you and ensuring you are using a safe technique. All the trainers are superb. More importantly, I learned so much about my overall health - what to eat, how to train, how to stay fit, which, as I enter middle age, has been a god send in maintaining fitness for my cycling and indeed just everyday life. Highly recommended for all who want to just feel better about themselves in a non 'judgey' and supportive environment. Go for it. Steve

Stephanie Lee 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I trained with the Proathlon team before leaving the UK and I loved it for three reasons: 1) they take a personalised and holistic approach to your fitness goals - looking at nutrition, sleep, caffeine intake, etc helping you to understand the role these play in your performance and lifestyle 2) they look beyond simply burning calories or increasing fitness, and include emphasis on technique and mobility to get you to your best 3) the community element of belonging to the Proathlon family is invaluable, whether it’s online challenges, small group sessions or the Christmas party - you are surrounded by a group of people who want you to succeed. I would highly recommend training with Simon, Rachel and the Proathlon team

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Proathlon for years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Super friendly and supportive atmosphere, trainers and clients alike. Classes are a mix of ages and abilities and as much fun as they are hard work. Simon and the team have pushed me out of my exercise comfort zone and I feel so much better for it.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Proathlon for the last 5 years and I have to say it has changed my life in terms of fitness and health. The small group training sessions and PT sessions are truly amazing, regularly refreshed and really push you to your limit to continually improve. The Proathlon team led by Rachel & Simon are a very friendly, inclusive, motivated and professional group - with a special shout out to Gavin who is the best PT ever! Check out the Myzone monthly challenges and the nutrition whatsapp groups! Please reach out to Proathlon for a trial session!

Lauren Baillie 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been so impressed with the training, nutritional knowledge/support and motivation that I have received from the Proathlon team. I was completely new to training when I started and I feel my needs have been understood, I am well-informed about how to train well and safely (but hard!) and I have been supported to make the progress I have over the past few months. The Proathlon training style has worked so well for me, I would highly recommend the team!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been a member of - and my longest membership too. It had amazing trainers that offer the best kind of classes. I've never been a fan of classes but the approach here is soo different, much smaller groups and quite challenging, always pushing me to do my best! I've seen a significant change in my body since I've joined and looking to gym reopening so I can get back there. Thank you Proathlon!

Tom P (TP) 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have trained with Simon, Rachel and their colleagues for over 10 years. This place is more than a gym and the instructors focus on other aspects of fitness beyond a workout eg nutrition. Classes are a great starting point - hard work but fun. The team changes very infrequently and there is a great bench of high quality instructors. Well worth a try.

Fantastic experience: Proathlon is great! All the trainers really know their stuff and they focus on form a lot to make sure you work your way up in a safe way. The classes are fun, and small in size which means they get to know you, push you to your limits and don’t let you hide in the corner! There is a real community feel and everyone is welcomed! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a healthier lifestyle and improve their fitness.
