Vectis method

Fantastic experience: Great Coaching, Enjoyable sessions and a supportive community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Vectis after training at a commercial gym, and although I had a bit of knowledge, I wasn’t sure how I’d get on with the workouts here. But I’ve been so impressed with how everything is tailored to your ability—Martyn made sure the workouts were challenging but achievable, and he’s always pushing everyone to improve. Since joining, my strength has come on leaps and bounds, this is down to Martyn and programming. Every time we retest, my numbers go up, and it’s such a great feeling to see that progress. My only regret is not joining sooner! Martyn, Harriet, and Cally are incredible coaches—super supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Couldn’t recommend Vectis more!

Fantastic experience: I joined just over 6 months ago before writing this review, after some time out of a gym and any real exercise. I drove by multiple times a week for a few years, telling myself I'll do an intro session to see if CrossFit and the gym is for me. Now I wish I had joined years ago and wonder where I'd be in my journey if I had. It's about more than just CrossFit, everything can be scaled, no one is judgemental, including other members and you will progress... and quickly. Every day is programmed without you needing to think about it, but there is purpose behind each movement and the variety in each day. If you aren't moving correctly, you will be coached to get it right with a full explanation. As someone that works from home, getting to a commercial gym and having to think about it, means I was never accountable, frequently skipped the gym and had no structure to my workouts. Not anymore. Every week I'm progressing and getting stronger, fitter and still learning. Yet, every week I'm still humbled by the workouts (you grow, you push harder)! Looking forward to what the next 6 months and more brings Stop driving by, and come have a go, you won't regret it! Thank you Martyn, Harriet and Cally!

Fantastic experience: What can I say… Vectis is a great place to train hard with likeminded people in a fab and supportive environment. I’ve been a member longer than most and have stayed because not only do you get a challenging and varied training programme, with top coaching, there is always space for a smile and laugh too. It’s a supportive community of great coaches and members, who are genuinely happy for you when you achieve a movement standard or hit a new lifting one rep max., encouraging you to continue to hit those personal milestones. There is always a scaling option to suit you for every workout, the coaches know when to push you (and know when you are taking it too easy ) and the in-house comps are a good place to meet others who train at Vectis. Thanks Martyn and team!

Fantastic experience: I have trained here since I moved to Bournemouth. The variety of workouts keeps things interesting, so you don't get bored and I can't imagine going to a regular gym now! The coaches are knowledgeable and always encouraging, and I have trained through two pregnancies here too. Recommend it for anyone looking for a place to keep fit and meet great people.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for over a decade now and would never return to a normal gym. Every session is programmed and different in the format of daily cardio, weightlifting and gymnastic movements with relevant scales for all abilities which allows for continual progression of fitness and strength. The best bit is the fantastic community aspect, always different people to train with and everyone supports and pushes each other along with good banter during the sessions.

Fantastic experience: I relocated here 3 years ago and signed straight up, and haven’t left the place since. It’s suitable for all abilities / journeys. Martyn’s programming is phenomenal and you wouldn’t get it anywhere else. Great vibes & great coaches!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Vectis for over 2 years and every session has been enjoyable, well structured and the coaching from Martyn, Harriet and Cally is always first class, especially if you have the lack of mobility I do! Always able to scale workouts accordingly and feel very comfortable asking questions

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Vectis for 7years & couldn’t imagine going back to a conventional gym. Martyn & his staff are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, & constantly motivating members during classes. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, all workouts & exercises are tailored to fit your level while challenging you to improve. Vectis is a great place to get stronger, improve your fitness, and be part of a community that also meets up outside of the gym!

Fantastic experience: Great cross fit gym for all ranges of fitness and ability. Lots of support for beginners , competitive, run and really friendly atmosphere. Martyn offers advice and ongoing help in recovering from injuries. Competitively priced, easy booking system with lots of availability. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: A happy place, where coaching is focused on you and you can achieve results! I have been a member for over 10 years and really enjoy the community environment. Massive thanks to Martyn, Harriet, Cally and the team

Fantastic experience: Best programming and coaching with amazing members! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: One of the most supportive communities going! Since joining a year and a half ago, Martyn, Cally and Harriet have supporting me with my rehab post 3rd ALC operation, allowing me to grow in confidence with movements I struggled to do, building strength and confidence in what my knee can do. Before I joined, I couldn’t run with ease or jump, now I’m back on court training nearly at 100% and working to get back to my previous playing level. Couldn’t of done it without their continued support!

Fantastic experience: Martin fantastic, great dynamic class; everyone very kind and fun workout.

Fantastic experience: I love this place because martyn genuinely cares about his members progressing, the programming is structured but varied at the same time, made lots of progress since I’ve been coming here, also learnt a lot as not only are you there to train you also know why your doing things a certain way. Also great people too ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym and community. So much improvement across all areas of CrossFit in just over a year of training there. Challenges and pushes people to do more than they think they are capable of

Fantastic experience: Top class coaching with great equipment and a brilliant place to train. Fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: Friendly environment, incredibly knowledgeable and supportive coaches. Safe environment to push yourself

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for more than 10 years now. The quality of the coaching and the programming is excellent and is testament to the commitment of the owner / coach. I enjoy the atmosphere in the gym - it's a fun and supportive environment in which to train. It's definitely an integral part of my and my husbands routine now and we are fitter and stronger now in our 50s than we have ever been.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - good coaching, nice facilities, fun people. Been a member here for 10 years and have trained for 3 or 4 days a week throughout that time without getting bored or injured which says it all really. If you're in the middle-aged age category (like me!) but keen to stay strong, fit and healthy as the years pass, you'll fit right in here.

Fantastic experience: A great place for people of all ages to start their fitness journey all the way through to those who are experienced gym goers looking to improve their skills and fitness levels ready for competitions and everyone in between. Not only is the coaching and programming superb and adapted for all but the sense of community is extremely strong. A very friendly welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Coaches have great knowledge and everything can be scaled to your ability while pushing you to ensure you progress. Also fantastic for assisting with rehab with an injury. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been coached by Martyn for a number of years now, he never gives up on you and shows great passion and motivation in getting you fitter and stronger. I joined when I was in my late 50's and haven't looked back, I am far stronger and fitter than I have been for a long time. I would recommend Vectis method to anyone who wants a really good coach and trainer to help them on their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: So much more than just a gym. Vectis is a community and possibly the only gym you’ll never regret joining. Starting age, skill and ability are irrelevant - I’ve never felt so ‘un-judged’. Expert coaching and support, every class is different and at 60 I’ve never felt fitter, stronger or healthier (or worked as hard or laughed as much)! What’s not to love?

Fantastic experience: Love CrossFit and love training at Vectis. Martyn the main coach is great and really pushes and motivates you. If you're into the gymnastic side of CrossFit, Coach Harriet is brilliant. I've trained at Vectis for 9 months now and I'm so pleased with the progress I've made. There is a real camaraderie in the gym. So if you're worried about coming somewhere new and it being clicky, it's not, everyone is really welcoming! There are also a variety of class times which means I can train around work and my child care schedule. Really can't recommend Vectis enough.

Fantastic experience: Its not just CrossFit. There are numerous programmed to follow depending on your goals from beginner to competition level. The Complete program has see me qualify for HYROX World Championships 2023. My health and fitness has improved immeasurably throughout my time at Vectis. I move so much smoother than previously and gained a greater understanding of how my body works and what it can achieve. This has also moved over in to my personal life improving that also. The programming I cannot recommend highly enough it is structured in a way that you hit every aspect of fitness- across a varied range of exercises. It is not just about thrashing you with 100s of reps but a very detailed and structured approach that has results at every level be that beginner or the more advanced athlete. The classes are tailored to everyone no matter what your skillset is due to the scaled approach. The smaller setting of the gym allows the coaches to keep an eye on every member and they are on hand every session to adjust your movements if required. Cannot recommend this place enough I am in my mid 40s and fitter than I ever was in my 20s

Fantastic experience: Excellently coached classes, suitable for all ages and abilities. I started at 38 years old having never been a member of a gym before. I am now so much fitter than I was 2 years ago
