I want to say massive thank you. It really did give me the confidence to come back. Not only that, the class was hard!

Amazing having you train with us Lucie
Fantastic experience: This is such a great gym, I really enjoyed being a part of the royal resistance community. It is the perfect place to get fit, have fun and even make friends. If you are a beginner with working out it is the place to start, the coaches really taught me a lot and I was sad I could no longer attend.

Thanks Josiane. Welcome to the team
Fantastic experience: Totally recommend Royal Resistance if your looking for great workouts, fun, being pushed to your limits, great support and feeling part of a community. I love all the classes, they are different every time so you will never get bored. I have recently started the Zumba sessions with Jane, she is just an incredible teacher, she makes the classes fun and energetic and she goes through the steps with you so you know what your doing, I will happily give her the credit for me dropping a few pounds recently, zumba is totally underestimated as a workout!!
Thanks for the review Chris. Really appreciate it. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Anyone living around the Royal Arsenal Riverside, don't think twice about joining the Royal Resistance Gym. Instructors are extremely professional and their classes are all inclusive for different levels of fitness. Jane at the front desk is very helpful and friendly, she checks everyone in before class so the class numbers are monitored for safe social distancing. Jane is also a Zumba Fitness and Pilates instructor and her classes are always fun but also very effective. Everything is booked online with the new app which makes signing up to a membership and booking classes extremely easy. This is the gym to join if you are reluctant post lockdown.
Thanks for the review Gemma. Really appreciate that. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Royal Resistance team is amazing. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Both trainers and members motivate others and create a great, pleasant and fun atmosphere to work out and improve. I can recommend this place to anyone who would like to start to work out but does not like typical intimidating gyms. Royal Resistance welcomes everyone and makes working fun and rewarding.
Thanks Marta. So kind of you to say so. See you at training soon.
Fantastic experience: Really great place, it has community feeling and everyone is so welcoming. I loved it because it felt like going to a club to do an activity rather than a typical gym which I hate. Here you talk to people and they really work you out but are not pushy, you can still go at your own pace. All fitness levels in there. Just a fantastic place to workout at.
Thanks for the review Eli Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Great training styles, fantastic facilities and trainers with loads of sessions throughout the week. Great social events too.
Appreciate the review Ed. It’s always a pleasure having you train at Royal Resistance.
Fantastic experience: great classes! no two classes are ever the same! coaches are awesome, not pretentious like other gyms. best boutique gym I've ever been to
Thanks for the review Steve. Keep up the hard work!
Fantastic experience: Exactly what I have been looking for. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals whether it is boxing, fitness or preparation for a specific event. Somewhere I always look forward to going to after work.
Thanks Jake for the kind words. Thanks for choosing Royal Resistance to train. It’s great to have you part of the team.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and all instructors are brilliant! Tried the gym before coming here and can say this is soo much better. Definitely recommend!
Thanks Becs. Really appreciate the review and yes the gym is boring.
Fantastic experience: Royal Resistance is a great gym if you're looking to improve your fitness and physical strength, not to mention have a laugh and blow off some steam. The trainers are friendly and approachable and the classes are always varied and enjoyable. The membership fee is very reasonable considering the quality of the place and as long as you're prepared to push yourself your guaranteed to see results. If you're looking for a unique training experience that's a far cry from the stuffy, hostile environment of most London gyms then definitely give RR a go!
Thanks for the review Jack. Really appreciate you spreading the word.
Fantastic experience: Royal Resistance is amazing! As a personal trainer myself, I can tell you firsthand that the classes WILL do exactly what they promise - get or keep you in amazing shape and all while you are having fun. The atmosphere and instructors are amazing. If you are advanced they will push you to your limits and if you are new or out of shape they will tailor the workouts to your personal abilities while still pushing you to do your best. I love the classes as I don’t even feel like I am working out! They definitely bring out the fun in workouts, often incorporating games into the boot camp style classes. The boxing is amazing too! And with yoga now on the schedule you can’t go wrong. The space is amazing and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Love RR!
Thanks for your kind words Mel. Always a pleasure having you training at RR. Have a great Xmas!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Been very anxious starting a new gym but they are all very friendly, the instructors and fellow gym members are all very motivational and help you get through a workout. The instructors tailor the workout to your abilities and ensure you feel happy and confident whilst working out and also push you to your limit! No classes are ever the same and having multiable instructors allows your body to never get used to a certain workout. I never looked forward going to the gym but this has been the best investment i’ve made and seen crazy progression in such short amount of time. Even did a four hour fitness challenge with the help of a good fitness community. I would highly recommend this gym and promise you’ll not be disappointed because they truly invest and care for you.
That’s amazing to hear Azhar. So glad we have made an impact. It’s a pleasure having you train. Keep up the great work and stay strong.
Fantastic experience: It is quite a workout, and much more interesting than the gym.

Thanks for the review Ash. Your a star.
Fantastic experience: No gym offering quite like this one in London. Great variety of classes and one class is never the same. Train with awesome people, teachers and see quick results in your fitness. I'm sad to be leaving.
Thanks for the review Fran. You will be missed. Stay in touch and good luck.
Fantastic experience: Wide range of workouts, for every type of person. I've never been very sporty and even though most of the members there are way more fit that I am, they never made me feel out of place. Wonderful staff, very relaxed yet professional. I highly recommend it!
Thanks Sara, good luck and pop back anytime.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to go and meet new people as well as getting a workout! Instructors are brilliant! It's got a good vibe which you don't get in gyms. Everyone was so welcoming :-)
Thanks for the review Laura. Really appreciate it. See you soon.
