SC Vital Fitness

Fantastic experience: I'm 58 and have been going to SC Vital Fitness for over a year now. Sean and his team are all excellent coaches, each with a particular set of skills that bring a holistic approach to training, nutrition and general health and well being. The community that I have been welcomed into, are a friendly and eclectic bunch. Even though I have spent time this year injured or convalescing, the team have adjusted the training to suit so I haven't had to miss out. I couldn't recommend this gym highly enough.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym and I’d strongly recommend anyone who lives in the area to check it out. In truth it’s more than a gym. Sean has developed a club with a really inclusive atmosphere and his attention to detail extends to making sure he has the right sort of staff as PTs. Kim, Will, Dom, Ossie and Harry are all first rate. They will challenge you but also take account of any injuries or impairments and offer alternatives to the exercises for the days programme. The kit is excellent, the gym is clean and spacious, class sizes are small and the classes are well thought out. I wish I’d found this little gem a long time ago, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent PT lead fitness

Fantastic experience: Game changing environment, equipment & staff. This place completely motivates me to exercise to my optimum potential as often as I can. Its more than just a gym, its a huge community which you just have to be part of!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches , great community. I love coming here

Fantastic experience: The facility, staff and great community spirit all combine to make this gym a brilliant place to improve your fitness and mobility.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym this morning with Sean, on a re-hab move session. Great focus on form to achieve to most, whilst easing back in to regular but spaced routine, maximising recovery to go again. Great facilities, great coaches and fab people.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t rate this gym highly enough. If there were 10 stars I’d give that. I’ve been member for 3 years and it's the best, very experienced friendly staff lead by Sean Cole. I’ve lost weight, I’m fitter, stronger and healthier than I’ve been in years…… if you want the same, join this gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic coaches. I have had bilateral hip replacements and never thought I would be able to do the things that I am. This is my 7th year at this facility and is the longest I have maintained a regular exercise regime by some distance. I have recently returned from a period out with an Achilles injury and the rehab/program amendments to cater for my recovery have been great.

Fantastic experience: If there were more stars to give I would… truly the best place to train with the best coaches and members.

Fantastic experience: I love going here as it was really friendly, helpful and the trainers always push you to give it your all and best. I would love to of stayed but it’s the money. When I’ve saved enough up I would happily go back.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend SCVF highly enough! Fantastic Set-up, Fantastic Coaches and Fantastic Members!! It’s so much more than a “gym”, even at 6 in the morning …

Fantastic experience: As a new joiner I am finding this place full of energy and encouragement as I embark on a more positive approach to my lifestyle... Great team and lovely members

Fantastic experience: Joining SCVF has been one of the best decisions I have made. Could not offer any higher recommendation! Great coaches. Great members. Great facility.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get fit! The whole team are with you all the way and everyone encourages and motivates each other. very friendly bunch and you can have a giggle, would highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: Having completed a 6 week foundation coarse I can highly recommend this gym . They are full of encouragement and help you every step of the way to achieve your goals .That's why I have decided to continue my journey with these guys all the staff and other members encourage you all the time .

Fantastic experience: Has everything a gym should have from amazing coaches, who know their stuff to a community of people that are friendly and welcoming. Facilities are great. Not only do they promote a love of fitness, they encourage everyone to be outstanding :)

Fantastic experience: I've never been, or wanted to be a gym bunny. I've not been near a gym for over 20 years when the only appeal was to try and slim down for my wedding. Having bought kit to use at home I lacked motivation and even when using it I was just pedalling faster or pushing/pulling more. I wasn't achieving anything. After a year of lockdowns i'd piled on more weight, felt lethargic, ached constantly and was sleeping badly. I saw an advert for SCVF and a spur of the moment decision led to me attending the foundation course a couple of days later. I could barely move for a week! I persevered and knew I needed to for mine and my families benefit. I'm 6 months in and am more flexible and fitter now than i've been in my adult life, i've still got a long way to go but know with the guidance and support of the stellar coaching staff and fantastic community at the gym that i'll get there. Despite the label 'gym', it isn't, it's a coaching facility, they will get to know you and your body and help advise the best way to achieve your aims. It's not cheap but quality never is, you get back what you pay for and what you're willing to put in.

Fantastic experience: This isn't a "regular gym", it's so more in every way. Great trainers, the right equipment, everything is ran and organised. Most of all, everyone is friendly and there's a real sense of community and team spirit. For days you need encouragement it makes all the difference; for me it's been life changing.

Fantastic experience: What a awesome gym SC Vital Fitness is they offer some much strength sessions, Fit session, Move Session and so much more they not just a gym. it is a great community with awesome coaches that help you on you way to fitness. I would highly recommend this gym 100% they have done some much for me they got me back on track with my health. awesome guys keep up the great work thank you.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for one year now and honestly have not looked back or regretted joining. I have been a member of various gyms in the past and SCVF is the only one I have really benefited from. The coaches and set-up are 1st class, along with a fantastic atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I'd never joined a gym before - I found the idea stressful, and the thought of having no idea what I was doing, surrounded by people who did, really intimidating. I'd only ever played football, or run, for fitness previously, but had decided I wanted to get stronger overall and lose my lockdown belly, this year instead. So... I followed a friend's recommendation, and signed up for the six-week Foundation Course at SCVF, in July. I was nervous on the first day. For about 30 seconds! Joining with a group of other newbies really helped, but it was the coaches who helped me settle straight away - Every session, they make a huge effort to make sure everyone understands what to do, how to do it, why we're doing it, and then watch, encourage and gently correct, so that everyone gets the best out of it. It's not just the coaches, though - the other members are so supportive and friendly, that every visit is enjoyable. It's more like a social club, with some exercise, than a gym. Since joining, I have enjoyed, and felt like I've learned, or got better at something, every session. I look forward to going, which I never imagined would be the case. Oh, and despite doing MUCH less running than before, due to adding the gym, the more varied fitness regime, together with the excellent nutrition and lifestyle advice, has STILL made me faster - I've just set a PB in the Great South Run :-) Would strongly recommend SCVF for anyone looking to get fitter, stronger, thinner or more sociable...

Fantastic experience: I’m enjoying exercise for the first time in years. Joining this gym is changing my life, I want to be there, because it’s based on a positive community of supportive people. Ultimately, I’m investing in my long term health, by committing to a gym that sustains my motivation and promotes me to be my best. I have no hesitation in recommending SC Fitness to anyone that needs more than just a place to workout.

Fantastic experience: I joined SCVF 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. I was a bit nervous about starting up at the gym again, after so long, but I was made to feel so welcome and that fear soon went. It isn't a normal gym, it's an outstanding gym. I have suffered with back pain for some time now, causing me to not be able to do the normal day to day tasks very easily. Within 3 weeks the pain had gone. Just building that strength and moving more has given me my old life back. I am so happy and love being part of this awesome community. I am so glad I found SCVF.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym for around 8 months now. I joined because, as a women in her 50's, I knew I needed to focus on gaining strength but had no idea how to do that or where to start. Now 8 months on, I know I am stronger and my body is more capable, but more than that I have found something I love doing! I really look forward to coming in, and that's not something I can say about any other exercise I have done. This is down to the brilliant coaches and fantastic community of people who have been supportive since the very first day.

Fantastic experience: I have now been at SC Vital Fitness for just over 6 months and to say I was not a gym bunny before is an understatement. I have always flip flopped between trying to do something to keep me fit to I can’t be bothered attitude. That has been me for about 4-5 years. Not now. I train 4 times a week with the best coaches, in a gym that is friendly, helpful and so encouraging. I genuinely look forward to going even at 6am . My goal is to be fit at 50 and I already feel fitter, stronger and have lost weight and that is in just 6 months.

Fantastic experience: It took me 2 years to find the courage to cross the threshold of SC vital fitness and I am so glad that I took that leap of faith. I hadn’t been to the gym in years and when I did go it was a chore and I never stayed the distance. I didn’t believe in lifting much more than a pencil, if I’m honest, and I wasn’t convinced squats and lunges were for me! Fast forward 12 months and I certainly haven’t regretted joining. Why? Eating better, sleeping better, weight loss and I am stronger than I’ve ever been (Weights, Squats and lunges are no longer dirty words!) SC vital fitness has helped to change my life and my mindset on going to the ‘gym’. It is part of my weekly routine and I love going to all of my sessions. From the amazing coaches to the fabulous legends there is a real supportive community. Small group sessions are personalised, fun and motivating. The coaches knowledge and enthusiasm is second to none. If there was a recipe for the perfect training facility then SC Vital fitness have nailed it! I can’t recommend them highly enough! Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Good gym and great staff. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My Breakthrough has been finding SC Vital Fitness, it's not only a place that helps me improve my fitness but the support and encouragement of the coaches and the other members make it a very special place

Fantastic experience: Incredibly knowledgeable bunch, friendly and commited. They know their stuff, from nutrition to injury prevention. Your body is the most valuable asset you have.At SCVF you'll make progress towards your goals faster than anywhere else. You don't have to be super fit to join. Lots of different levels but everyone is made to feel welcome which is awesome. SCVF are a safe pair of hands that will guide you along the journey. Glad I joined, only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

Fantastic experience: Just finished a move session at SC vital fitness . This is awesome every week . I never would have thought at my age 62 I could regain such flexibility, mobility and strength. It also fits my need for variation and creativity . The sessions are different each time thus maintaining my motivation and interest. These coaches are Legends and top of the class. I love this gym

Fantastic experience: I have moved out of the area and I'm absolutely gutted to have to leave this gym after almost 2 years as a member. I used to be one of those people that joined the gym as part of a New Year's resolution, and by mid-Feb I was resenting the monthly fee whilst sitting on the sofa! But SCVF is not your typical gym - it's small group training, and the coaches are excellent - they make the sessions fun, challenging & personalised. I used to take presciption painkillers for back pain every day, but I am now mostly pain-free and take no regular medication. This is an incredible gym - no mirrors & no egos, and it's membership & coaches are very friendly - with everyone from 70+ years olds (with the usual myriad of health issues), to paralympians. So no matter who you are, the coaches at this gym will help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I don't like gyms, but this is a more than just a gym, The personal trainers are all genuinely lovely people...it's a place that i never thought i would feel comfortable in, but I do here ️‍♀️️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: So glad I joined this gym. It's the best! Already seeing gains and getting positive feedback from my non SCVF mates.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. After a serious injury in 2014 I joined SC Vital Fitness in 2016 in order to rebuild the strength in my legs. Within months I had seen dramatic improvements in my strength, fitness and mobility. Also, incredible improvements in body composition. Still there now in 2020

Fantastic experience: The knowledge, professionalism and expertise of the coaching team far outweighs anything I've experienced at any other gym. The advice on fitness, lifestyle and nutrition I've received has been fantastic while the coaches also encourage each and every member to set and achieve their own goals. On top of that the environment they have created at SC VItal makes the facility an enjoyable place to train where not just the coaches, but also the members, support and encourage each other too.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been a member of. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The classes are very inclusive, all abilities are catered for and are great fun. I look forward to the gym now rather than dreading it. Well done to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: I have completed the 30 day free trial and have now signed up as it is the best gym I have ever been to. It is more than a gym- the friendly and professional coaches guide you through every workout ensuring your form is correct and motivating you to work to your best ability. As someone rehabilitating a knee injury I feel confident that I will be back to full fitness and stronger than I have ever been before. I would definitely recommend this gym. Start the 30 day free trial- you've nothing to lose!

Fantastic experience: I am nearing the end of my 30 day trial and my attitude towards fitness and nutrition has already completely changed. I have enjoyed every session and felt completely supported and encouraged by the coaches and other members at all times. Everyone is so friendly and positive which has helped me approach the start of my journey towards getting fitter and stronger with the right attitude and feeling comfortable in my surroundings. I look forward to having the support of the coaches and other members going forward as I know with their support I can & will achieve my goals and have a good time surrounded by lots of amazing people along the way! Thank you SC Vital Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I joined SC Vital Fitness just over a year ago, this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can honestly say SC is like no other gym I've been too! Each session is adapted to your goals and abilities. The coaches and members (LEGENDS) are always friendly, full of support and motivation. All of this and the events held make SC completely unique!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of pretty much every gym in Portsmouth at one time or another, however this is the longest I have kept my training up and for the first time in my life I genuinely enjoy going to the gym. I attend at least 5 times per week. At SC Vital Fitness you not only get great coaching and advice on nutrition but you also get to join the team. Everyone that attends, from the coaches to the members, all have the same goal and everyone really motivates one another to be better. There are no egos at this gym and I couldn’t recommend this place anymore highly.

Positive experience: Great goup of staff and members

Fantastic experience: Top class facility, with brilliant coaching staff. Well managed and very clean.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Hampshire! Great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable coaches who are not only able to supervise, but motivate and inspire!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve used so far, kind enough to let me volunteer and have been learning so much, great PT’s and clients all super friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few gyms around the Portsmouth and waterlooville area. This one is by far the best I have been too. Friendly atmosphere. every member is on a different journey under the same roof giving eachother support. Great coaches that help you reach your goals and push you to your limits. I only joined 6 month's ago and have come such a long way. Here's to another year of gains at sc vital fitness

Fantastic experience: The best gym! Really supportive, fun environment to train in. It doesn’t matter whether you’re super fit or super unfit, the excellent coaches will cater for everyone in small group personal training sessions. Injury rehabilitation is also taken really seriously to get you pain-free and fit again.

Fantastic experience: The environment created by all the coaches is unique & special. Yes, the training & coaching is excellent and they are always encouraging you to strive for more which is backed up with so much advice & support via social media. But it's the camaraderie and smiles on faces that can't be replicated, in my opinion, anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Been there almost since it opened. Sean and his team know exactly what they are on about and create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. This isn't a gym that you ever feel like you don't belong, it really is design for everyone you just need to want it. Early morning circuits are a great start to the day. cheers

Fantastic experience: Sc vital fitness gave me the ability to understand nutrition in a basic and effective way ( no super shake or Christiano Ronaldo super pills) My aim was to add weight and in 7 months i gained 5.6kg of muscle and dropped body fat down to 10.9% . The best thing about being a member at SC is that the coaches adapt everything to your ability. They know when to push you and know how far they can push you without you breaking away from correct form.i recommend SC to anybody because it isn’t just a gym it’s a lifestyle change

Fantastic experience: I have been going to SC Vital Fitness for about 10 months now. I have lost 10kg of body fat in that time and am much fitter than when I started. This gym is very welcoming and friendly, it doesn’t matter what age or shape you are. You are always made to feel very welcome by the coaches and other clients. My mobility and strength has improved under the professional guidance and support of the coaches. I thoroughly enjoy each session and I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.

Fantastic experience: A great facility that is owned by my dad...!!

Fantastic experience: Great facility, the coaches are great, always on hand to answer questions and advise. These guys won't sell you a dream just help guide you on your journey.

Fantastic experience: This is how a gym should be, the atmosphere, the respect and the drive from all around you to help you achieve your goals. The advice is second to none, and the team don't pull punches any, you pay for what you get, this gym gives and gives!! The only competition you have is with yourself and they will help you challenge yourself to achieve goals you never even imagined. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility with even better coaches and people!!! I have been attending SCVF for about 6 months now and am now in the best shape I have been - this is all down to the excellent advice and program I have been on. The approach of Sean and Dan is refreshing and they take the time to understand your individual needs and goals and give you a bespoke training and nutrition program that allows you to achieve what you have set sights on. At SCVF you truly can achieve what your mind believes!!!!

Fantastic experience: I trained here for a while before moving. This gym is about being fit, happy and healthy. The atmosphere is one that people thrive in and the facility has everything you want and keeps posers away! Love it!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Hampshire!! I have been going to SC VItal Fitness since October 2013 and really believe it's the best facility around. I got fed up of 'Globo' gyms and really wanted to challenge myself and SC Vital Fitness is like a breath of fresh air. The knowledge of Sean and his coaching team is first class, you receive expert advice and the equipment is brilliant, .it's also friendlier than any other gym I've been to, there is a real sense of community and I would 100% recommend SC Vital Fitness to anyone who his serious about getting fit!
