Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Bethan and BFunctional more! Her Hyrox classes are the best I’ve ever been to — her knowledge of the event and understanding of what’s required to perform your best is unmatched. The training plans she creates to prepare you for Hyrox are second to none. If you’re looking for a welcoming, supportive fitness community that also delivers amazing classes and training experiences, BFunctional is absolutely the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to classes for the last 8 weeks. I am a runner and wanted to find a fun way of mixing up exercise, adding in some strength. I have had lots of gym memberships but often find it boring and overwhelming not really knowing how all the machines work resulting in not going at all. In a short period of time I am already seeing a difference in my fitness. The classes are fun and I really look forward to them each week. The group are all very welcoming and supportive which is really great if you’re attending for the first time and/or alone. Bethan is an excellent coach with a real emphasis on safety and ensuring the correct techniques are used. I have some experience of weight based exercises but have learnt lots of new ones and been introduced to equipment that isn’t available within my local gym which has been brilliant! Great value for money and highly recommend BFunctional!

Rent 2 Rent Success with Stephanie Taylor & Nicky Taylor 2 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training one-to-one with Bethan since January 2026 and honestly, she’s incredible. My sister’s incredible progress persuaded me to give Bfunctional a try. When I started, I was pretty weak and had no idea how much progress I could make. Now I’m stronger, leaner, more confident, and training towards my first DEKA! My waist is down an inch, I’ve lost fat, built muscle, and actually look forward to every session. Bethan keeps things fun and interesting. One week it’s pull-ups and squats, the next it’s tank pushes and all sorts of functional fitness moves I never imagined I could do. She knows exactly how to push me just the right amount, and I’d never train as hard or as consistently without her. If you’re thinking about working with her, do it. She’s the best decision I’ve made for my health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: First visited BFunctuonal post lock down. I wanted to get my fitness levels back up before I joined a gym as I always preferred to work out solo. I have been going to classes ever since. The classes are so varied and cater for all levels and Beth is by far the best coach I have ever worked with. Everyone is very welcoming with many external social events

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Beth’s fitness classes for a while now and absolutely love them! The sessions are suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Beth is extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to adapt exercises to suit you or work around any injuries. Every class starts with a thorough warm-up and the exercises change each week, which keeps things fresh and challenging. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating. I always leave feeling like I’ve had a really good workout! My sister and I are currently training for HYROX, and Beth’s classes have been brilliant for helping us prepare. Since joining, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my strength and endurance, which has made a real difference to my training. During classes, Beth often coaches us through movements, focusing on a different area or technique each week to help us improve. Couldn’t recommend her classes more!

Fantastic experience: I was a bit nervous going into the session as I haven’t trained at a gym in a while. Bethan made it fun, and she pitched the session to my capabilities perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised to see I could do more than I thought. Bethan put a lot of attention on form and actively encouraging me through each part of the session. I walked in feeling weak and walked out feeling like a warrior. I’m excited for our next session.

Fantastic experience: I’ve now been training with Beth for almost a year. I feel so different to when I started. I’m more flexible, more stable, stronger and generally fitter. Beth seems to know exactly how far to push you so that you know you’ve been pushed but don’t feel unable to walk the next morning. I can’t recommend signing up to Beth and BFunctional highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Me and my girlfriend stayed in the Celtic manor and gave this a go to test ourselves was very much worth it and throughly enjoyed. Even if you aren’t staying I recommend trying this Beth and rich were very friendly and explained all of the exercises and format really well. They opened up earlier for us on Saturday to fit us in which they didn’t have to do and it shows how willing they are to help people and how passionate they are about fitness. They are happy to encourage you if you want to push yourself or they can adjust the movements to suit everyone’s needs if you’re only just starting out on your fitness journey. Highly recommend.

David W 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: It has been life changing for me working with Bethan on improving my mobility and flexibility. I’ve always classed myself as someone who just wasn’t flexible or able to do certain exercises because of my back but fast forward a few months and I am in a completely different place with my flexibility and my back. Bethan has also incorporated core exercises and movements to improve my golf swing which has made a massive difference. Bethan’s attention to detail during the PT sessions is amazing and helps me learn the correct techniques to ensure I am exercising safely. Every session is planned in detail and progress tracked which in turn allows me to see how far I’ve come. I walk out of each PT session with a real buzz from a great workout! Thanks again Bethan.
