Fort Phoenix: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym, well directed and managed from Bo. Always upgrading the gym to help members progress.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful private gym! Love the energy if this place and the staff is very welcoming as someone who has newly moved to the area Fort Phoenix is a place where I feel like I can meet genuine people and get a good workout
Fantastic experience: I have known Bo now for around 4 years and have loved watching his journey - he has always had one vision in mind and the facility he has built encompasses just that. Fort Phoenix gym is incredibly inclusive, full of premium equipment and the booking aspect allows you to enjoy your gym session without the need to wait for equipment - a really important aspect to me. Whatever stage of your fitness journey you are on - this is the place I can recommend the most!
Negative experience: Massively rude owner, saying they don’t ‘take unemployed people’ as they wouldn’t afford their prices. Yeah maybe cuz my face didn’t fit after I sent a few pix.
Dear Zach, I wish you receive all the assistance and support you require with your 'severe ADHD' and other mental health conditions you mentioned in your email. I never stated we don't take unemployed people, I merely indicated that this may be problematic, as some fully employed people find our price points 'difficult'. As an ethic minority male, born in Africa and raised in a diverse community in London. I ensure my environment is home to anyone, with the right attitude. Going on the internet and 1-starring an individual you have never met, and a small independent business you have never visited, says more about you than us. I want to live in a better world. Take care sir.
Fantastic experience: Having started some gym work to supplement rock climbing I've been blown away by how good the gym is, and its owner Bo - this has been a great supplement to my climbing, and really good that Bo accomodates me doing climbing specific training within the gym, but also the services offered are great and I got a great training protocol from Bo. In addition, the gym is well structured, and kitted with great equipment and the booking system means when you turn you can always get on any equipment needed, also the people are really nice and everyone I've met has been friendly, considerate and engaging. To anyone looking for a gym, or is sick of a gym where its always busy, then you don't need to look any further - this is the place to go.
Thanks so much for your review and also to adding to our ethos and environment. Your rock climbing has brought another dimension to the Fort, my expertise and my curiosity. I can't explain in words how special it is too see you developing in so many different aspects of your training. Keep up the good work Frank.
Fantastic experience: Having tried a handful gyms in the Berks/Bucks area, this is the only gym I’ve ever felt motivated to go to and feel confident to work out in. Before Fort Phoenix I restricted myself to treadmill/bike workouts - now I’m using strength machines and equipment I would have never touched in a conventional gym. Old me would be shocked. Bo and the rest of the Fort Phoenix team/family are incredibly supportive and welcoming. It’s so nice to finally feel comfortable in a gym and to have the space and access to equipment to complete a workout.
Thanks for this great review Jay. We have enjoyed watching you blossom and I want nothing but great things for you and your gym journey. Keep going.
Fantastic experience: As a gym, Fort Phoenix is 5 stars in terms of facilities, cleanliness, management etc. But it is more than a gym. The people and culture of the place is so welcoming and supportive. That comes from the leadership by example of Coach Bo. I joined in summer 2023 and can honestly say it has been life changing in more ways than just fitness.
Much love Ian. Thanks as always. See you on your next Zone.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, nice environment to train, everyone is so friendly and the gym is kept clean and tidy. You also never have to wait for equipment and it’s perfect for content creation
Thanks Jordan. Being so cool seeing the Fort compliment your journey in the fitness industry. Your content, your coaching and your training have all elevated in the year you have being with us. Look forward to you further developing this year. Big Love.
Fantastic experience: One of the best gym experiences I've ever had.
Thanks Nick. Appreciate you & Jess being here, and look forward to everyone progressing in 2025.
Fantastic experience: Fort Phoenix is the first gym I've felt comfortable going into. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming and willing to offer a helping hand. Bo, the owner is very knowledgeable and shows a keen interest in each person's development and progression. I like that you book online for your hours session with a limited no. of people so it's never overrun/crowded at any given time.
Thanks for your review Hayley. You have made such great progress and it's humbling to hear that the environment we have created here at Fort Phoenix has contributed massively to that. See you at Boxing. Big Love.
Fantastic experience: I'll be honest I'm not a gym goer but I was in the building with my kids for another reason. Bo was really kind and welcoming even offering the younger kids to come in and see what a gyms like. It honestly looked spotless a far cry from some gyms I've been too in the past.
Thank you Ibrahim. You have genuinely made my day stand still. I did not expect a review. Humbled. Anytime you guys are in the building, please give me a knock.
Fantastic experience: Amazing space with great equipment and classes. Bo has really created something special.
Wishing you well Katie. Anytime you are back in the area, do give us a shout . Big Love.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, Bo’s managed to make it so much more than just a gym. Thanks to Fort Phoenix, I feel stronger physically and mentally, I’ve made friends. Not everyday you find a place you look forward to go and exercise after work! Love it!
Jen, love your journey, your contribution and your vibe. Thanks for being a part of Fort Phoenix.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a gym to join in High Wycombe this is it! It's unlike any gym I've been to; it's a great place to work out (there's plants and bootcamp classes that are ) and join a community of awesome people. Bo & Ren are superstars, I'm so happy I found The Fort
Thanks Zoe. I wish Taiwan was only 2 miles away. We miss you and whenever you are in Wycombe. Please drop by. Big Love.
Fantastic experience: Been a member of many different gyms over the years but the space and community that Bo has created here is unmatched. All the equipment you could need and all the support you could ask for!
Coming from an educated and brilliant Personal Trainer. This compliment means a lot. Thanks Adam.
Fantastic experience: Great vibe, great small local business. Bo is very personal and is always around to offer assistance and help. He cares about what you want to achieve and does his best to make sure it happens. Great value also.
Thanks Wayne for being an integral part of the Fort. Had an epic 2023, roll on 2024. Keep up the good work mate.
Fantastic experience: Since rejoining Fort Phoenix my love/hate relationship for the gym has changed. I actually want to go now and I LOVE the classes Bo is an amazing coach/mentor and he has created a safe space, we all thoroughly enjoy and take care of. Every member of the Fort is friendly, welcoming and supportive. I am proud to be part of the Fort family! I would never go back to a conventional gym ever again. Thanks Bo, you are awesome
Hey Coach McShee!!!!! Thank you for being a part of the adventure, the fun and the CGTs (10 burpees for saying class lol). Let's keep up the hard work and the good vibes. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Fort Phoenix enough. More than just a gym, Bo & the team have established a welcoming, loving community where you get to train in an amazing facility with the best equipment around. Everyone is friendly, helpful & bring nothing but smiles & a desire to be better, both physically & mentally. The culture is infectious & is guaranteed to bring the best out of anyone who trains there.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE the Fort and all the amazing people who train there. The space is spotless, all the equipment in top notch order, everything has a home keeping the space zen! Every member takes pride in being part of the Fort and respects the space. It’s always welcoming whether there’s people there or not… Bo has curated something extremely rare and special. If you’re looking for an alternative to the “typical” gym experience then the Fort may be for you…
Fantastic experience: One of my favourite places to come! It's more than a gym for so many of us. A second home, a second family and a place full of positive energy, laughter and good vibes. Bo is incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging. He knows every member's name and is our biggest cheerleader. The equipment is fantastic, the gym is clean and there's never a queue to get on things. It's easy to book onto classes, and they're all brilliant. I'd recommend this gym to ANYONE.
Loosing count of all your achievements Shazza!!! Thanks for being an epic part of the Fort and contributing to every chapter. Big Love.
Fantastic experience: I love training here, it has such a good vibe, everyone is so friendly & welcoming. It has all of the equipment you’d expect a gym to have and more, all in pristine condition. The gym is clean and tidy and never has a dumbbell out of place. I never have to wait to get onto a piece of equipment, it’s never busy or overcrowded even at peak times. I really like that members can play their own music too, everyone is really respectful of one another and always say hi & bye which is comforting. Always leave here feeling really good. Very different to any other gym I’ve been to before!
Fantastic experience: The Fort became my gym the second I walked through the door, firstly the equipment and layout is brilliant, at Fort Phoenix, everything has a home, so you don't waste any time searching around for equipment, it feels like a community here, so part of the workout is putting everything back so that the person behind me walks in to a gym ready to go! I'd been a member of some of the big name gyms and seen all of the usual cliches, weights and equipment all over the floor, super busy at peak times, etc. As an introvert, this is the first gym that I've felt totally comfortable in, which has seen my health and confidence improve nicely over the last couple of years! Lastly, I have to mention the owner, Bo, it feels like we have a resident superhero on tap, he's so welcoming and understanding if I have a bed week, or miss a target, he has this positive aura where he'll shift the focus to the week after and change up a tiny detail to see if it'll help me break through the wall. I feel like part of the Fort Family now and highly recommend a visit to see us!
Big Love Phil.
Fantastic experience: Fort Phoenix offers a wonderful, intimate space with a range of equipment and packages available. Bo is approachable, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and what he offers. My fitness journey has been hugely elevated since I joined in early 2023. I couldn't recommend Fort Phoenix enough.
It's now 2024 and what a first Year you have had here Alice. Race for Life 10k just yesterday. Thanks for a part of the Fort.
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I’ve been to. Super clean and well kitted out. I’ve never been a consistent gym goer before but Fort Phoenix makes it easy. Bo and Renè are super friendly and helpful, they’ll make you WORK and help you stay committed
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Bo you are incredible teacher and I love your gym
Fantastic experience: Bo is an extraordinary trainer and motivator. The training programmes and classes he runs both in his own gym and at the Rye are excellent and there is great variety. The community he is building is so special, and I feel very lucky to be part of it
Hey Joanna, just wanted to say yourself, Pete & Fraser (of course), are a massive part of the Fort and our ethos. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for been committed to your own fitness & health. Big Love.Bo
