RISE Macclesfield

Fantastic experience: A joint focus on fitness and diet has made a huge difference to my health and wellbeing. RISE's clear structure and support has been a tremendous help. I'm well on the way to achieving my weight loss and health and fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I joined Rise in May this year and have just hit the 100-session mark — something I’ve never achieved with any gym or fitness plan before! The variety of sessions offered each week, along with the fact they change monthly, keeps things fresh and exciting. There’s truly something for everyone. The trainers are all fantastic — friendly, supportive, and always ready to help. One of the best things about Rise is how inclusive and welcoming the atmosphere is. Whether you’re just starting out or more experienced, exercises are easily adapted to suit all fitness levels. And if you ever need advice, the team is just a message or call away — with zero pressure. I’ve recently started focusing more on healthy eating to boost my results and have been making the most of the monthly check-ins to track progress and plan next steps. There’s still a way go on my journey, but for the first time in three years, I’m genuinely feeling more confident — not just physically, but mentally too. The mental health boost from regular workouts and the positive community vibe is honestly priceless. If you’re looking for a gym that offers more than just workouts, Rise is the place to be. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: Rise is not like your usual gym. Every session is run by trained coaches who support everyone, tailoring the exercises for individuals. It is very friendly, very motivating and very supportive. It is also non-competitive, non-judgmental and has no posers. It IS challenging but it is very effective, well worth the money.

Fantastic experience: Best thing I could have done was join RISE. The exercises are so different, I never knew they existed! Hard exercises sometimes but that's a great challenge! I'm stronger, literally. Still got a long way to go. But I've seen a positive change. I'm needing to be stronger and fitter as I get older, to enable me to look after my Husband when the Parkinsons really takes hold. Also, everyone is so nice too, always a great atmosphere. That means a lot!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for nearly 2 years. Great sessions, supportive coaches. Cater for lots of different ages and you can go at your own pace……..! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: A friendly, welcoming gym as soon as you walk in you're made to feel at ease and with friends. There's no pressure, no feeling watched just support and encouragement from all the coaches and fellow members. Great place! Don't think about joining - do it!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic group PT session based training, delivered by amazingly supportive coaches. It is a holistic approach combining exercise and healthy eating in an inspiring community of people.

Fantastic experience: It's all about the routine for me. I have found something that works in terms of flexible times, different all body workouts each day and changing workouts each month. I quickly saw results in fitness, mental health and how I look which in turn drives me to eat better and understand what works best for me to continue to see results. Now I can't stop! Next step is to introduce more running on top of the Group Personal Training Sessions at Rise to improve hybrid fitness racing times.

Fantastic experience: I was finding it really hard to stay motivated with exercise, I had not been to the gym for a few months and had no motivation to want to attend. Since joining RISE, my motivation has returned, the sessions are great and varied. I like how the Group Personal Training sessions change every month, and I like how we track certain exercises in sessions and to see the progress every week. The coaches are great and always trying to get the best out of you, joining rise has been the best decision I have made for my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: So happy to have made it to my first 100 milestone ... hopefully the first of many! RISE Macclesfield has now become a positive part of my weekly life routine - it's great to have the variety of sessions, different coaches, different styles, and times to suit everyone - so there's never an excuse to not go! ;) I enjoy being part of the '7am posse' and sharing my morning body blitz with so many other lovely people and the Personal Trainers who keep me motivated and perk me up when I struggle! Thanks to everyone for welcoming me to the RISE family

Fantastic experience: Joining RISE Macclesfield is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I've gone through the last 30 years being overweight and unfit. That changed 3 years ago. I am proud that I have hit 500 Sessions, thanks to the great Personal Trainers and fellow members / friends who have supported me along the way. Here's to the next 500, not stopping now!

Fantastic experience: This Macclesfield "gym" is not like a normal gym. It's like having a personal trainer but in a very friendly group, with lots of different short exercises every day of the week so you never get bored. I am at the upper end of the age range so I didn't know if I would be able to keep up, but there is always an alternative with help and support available, from the coaches and also from other members. I joined about ten weeks ago to strengthen my hip after an operation, to get rid of my "tummy bulge", to get generally fitter and to have more energy. All of this is well on the way, and I'm loving every minute.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Rise for almost 3 years and I would highly recommend it. The coaches, members and class variety are all brilliant. But the accountability is what I needed the most, and that’s what you get here that makes it different from anywhere else. This is the most consistently I have ever worked out for and I’m so thankful for the support of everyone at Rise. If you’re worried about joining, don’t be. You’ll be welcomed and supported all the way and won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Setting a weekly RISE Plan keeps me focused on what I want to achieve and helps me have a healthier work - life balance. That's been the biggest win for me so far.

Fantastic experience: I've been at RISE now since August 2024 and I love it. The sessions are varied and challenging, changing every month to keep you on your toes. The coaches are passionate and friendly and the right balance of encouraging and assisting to make sure you get the most from your workout. Everyone is super friendly. I really enjoy going to the gym now

Fantastic experience: The last year has been a transformation of my health. I went from struggling to stand for more than 10 minutes to now being able to stay on my feet all day. Thank you to all the amazing coaches at RISE - an incredible gym in Macclesfield with truly supportive Personal Trainers

Fantastic experience: A superb gym in Macclesfield offering great training in a group environment with humour, good advice and positive feedback

Fantastic experience: The sessions are addictive! The variety of workouts keeps things fresh, which is so important for staying motivated. I’m getting stronger with every session, constantly pushing myself with the support of a fantastic Personal Trainer. This Macclesfield gym has helped me look and feel better, and the community here is incredibly friendly. Honestly, the best link I’ve ever clicked—I just wish I’d done it years ago!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, motivating, great trainers, lots of support for weight loss, regular assessments , just fab

Positive experience: Really supportive coaches that provide very varied sessions

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for over 8 years now. Rise has become part of my life. Great sessions, great coaches, friendly, no intimidation. Without Rise I would not be where I am today in terms of fitness and weight.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for around 12 months and it's been fantastic. All the sessions are different and cater for everyone. The people / coaches are all supportive and more importantly I'm alot fitter in myself. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for over 10 years which speaks volumes in itself! Always varied sessions, enthusiastic friendly coaches and I’ve made lifelong friends. Oh…and I’ve improved my strength and fitness too!!

Fantastic experience: So glad I am a member of Rise! The sessions are motivating and so are the trainers and all the other members. Best gym experience for me EVER!

Fantastic experience: Engaging, fun sessions in an inclusive, motivational atmosphere. I never thought I'd be able to do it, but all abilities are supported by fantastic coaches to get as much out as they put in.

Fantastic experience: I recently rejoined Rise in February, the daily workouts are varied and change monthly which gives you the opportunity to improve your fitness and technique, the coaches are great and very supportive and the app we use has lots of informative information to help you reach your goals

Fantastic experience: Fantastic set up, great coaches who listen and support your needs. Great fun and great bunch of people. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great coach lead sessions, great fun sessions designed by coaches, something different everyday and someone always on hand to help. Love it here

Fantastic experience: I wasn’t sure what to expect going into an exercise environment again after many years! When I went to Rise for the first class is was such a calm relaxed atmosphere. The instructor was so kind and approachable that I felt at ease straight away. The groups feel like personal training with all the advice and help you need . Every training session is different so you never feel bored. Everyone I have has their own agenda for getting fit . Everyone respects each other. Would recommend this club to all ages and , all abilities . It’s tough but fun getting fit again .

Fantastic experience: First gym I’ve ever kept going to for more than a couple of weeks and I’m actually enjoying it! I’m 12lbs down, feel fitter, stronger and have more energy. The classes are varied and everyone is super friendly and motivating. Excellent value for everything you get from it!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very friendly and the coaches really do put you through your paces. They let you know how to train and how to use the equipment correctly. The coaches are very encouraging and help you every step of the way. The training is very adaptable for myself who has a disability. Great Sessions.

Fantastic experience: Rise is the best fitness club I've ever joined. The expert coaches provide individual training to everyone in the group sessions and they're creative too, offering an amazing variety of exercises and workouts. The members are friendly and we have lots of fun getting fit. Rise is great!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Rise. It is a really supportive environment with knowledgeable, friendly and supportive coaches. They work with you to help you reach your own goals. Everyone is really friendly and you work at your own pace. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are looking to become a better version of yourself, fitter, stronger and healthier the team at Rise can help reach those goals! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Love RISE! Been a member for over 3 years now, the longest I’ve ever been for any gym or club! My fitness and stamina are massively improved, and on top of that I’ve made some great friends. I attend 4-5 weekly and will continue to do so!

Fantastic experience: Where to start! Joined to sharpen up my fitness levels and to be held accountable for ensuring I delivered what I promised I would do on a weekly basis. Pleased to feedback that approaching the end of my 2nd year, one of the best decisions ever made. I am leaner, quicker, stronger and happier. Add to that I have met some brilliant people and made several solid friendships

Fantastic experience: A brilliant life changing place that is not like a normal gym. Amazing bunch of coaches, programmes and members make it a superb place to exercise and have fun. They adapt sessions to accommodate any injuries. I am 600 sessions in

Fantastic experience: Life changing. Fabulous!

Fantastic experience: I have found Rise to be a community of friendly coaches and members all rooting for each other to achieve. It's a positive place to work out and has the knowledge and experience to provide the whole support package.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent gym. The coaches know you by name, create varied and interesting workouts and are all able to present different levels of each exercise so you can challenge yourself, whatever level of strength or fitness you are. I am female, middle-aged and chubby. Going to standard gyms previously was intimidating and I felt embarrassed. RISE is completely different. I love coming here and am getting fitter and slimmer all the time.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent place with great people and knowledgeable coaches who take an interest. Jon also has set up excellent background systems to keep you on track and accountable. It's even possible to access the sessions and workouts remotely for occasions when you can't get there in person. I have never heard of this at any other gym.

Fantastic experience: Joined Rise 5 months ago and really enjoying it. Helped me to lose weight and gain strength. Sessions can be tough, but rewarding and can be adapted because of injuries.

Negative experience: John assured me that I’d be fine with the exercises and that he was aware of my condition. He forgot to tell the coaches that I couldn’t lift heavy weights etc . He knew I was awaiting an MRI but still tried to take payment. Rise have messed my back up some more, awaiting an operation. If you have previous injuries please don’t listen to John, he can make things 10 times worse.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant gym with great sessions and a really great group of people

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place with lots of support from coaches and members . The classes are very well thought out by the coaches who are very approachable and helpful. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Jon and his team are excellent. The support you get at rise is second to none and I love the variety of the sessions. It really helps to keep things interesting

Fantastic experience: I’m an online member as I don’t live near to Macclesfield. I love the personal support you receive from Jon and all his staff. The live online videos mean you can join a class and be part of it. There are lots of classes and if you aren't able to join a live class , you can do an online video of any of the classes any day any time. The support you get from Jon and his team is amazing. You receive personal attention from Jon who checks in with you on a regular basis. You also get lots of confidence building posts on line. I have lost weight and feel much fitter than I have in years and at 66 yrs old, that’s a great thing !!!! Thank you Jon and all the team members and coaches.

Positive experience: Took the 8 week lose 20 pounds challenge, and managed it in 7 weeks. Look and feel a whole lot better.!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility to get fit, motivate and lose weight with plenty of support. I personally hate gyms - this isn't one! try it you'll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: Looked into several gym in the macclesfield area once i read up on them i soon came to realise the academy was the place which fitted my end goal to loose weight with a class fun environment jon philosophy to getting results is fantastic just look at him and that is what i wanted 8 weeks later im 20lbs down and feeling and looking great.

Fantastic experience: I was in a rut and on a downward spiral; gaining weight, eating the wrong things and not exercising. I knew I needed to do something about it and needed something or someone to bolster my will power if I was going to have any chance of turning things around. I'm still relatively new, having only completed a month but having lost over a stone in weight and feeling so much better mentally already BUT this place has given me the desire to be the best and the healthiest me - just like it has for hundreds before me and if you give it a chance it will for you too. Absolute 11 out of 10 place and people!!!!

Fantastic experience: This place has honestly changed my life. From an overweight, head-in-the-sand, exercise averse, and unbeknownst to me unhappy person, to a nearly two-stone lighter, healthier, happier, fitter, leaner man who is enjoying exercise for the first time in his life. Great coaches, great classes, great advice, great fun, and great results. Try it.

Fantastic experience: RISE has been so supportive of my weight loss journey over the last two years for the first year I wanted to gain strength and fitness when recovering from ACL surgery. Since April or lockdown I have then had time and headspace to continue with my journey to weight loss. RISE continued online since the beginning of lockdown and then moved into the park whilst still continuing online. The support from the TEAM of coaches at RISE has been brilliant, and the other members is also so supportive. I would recommend it for fitness and weight loss, they are so supportive it is now time for you to do the hard work, to achieve the results you want.

Fantastic experience: 2 months ago I was heavily over weight feeling low and bloated and knew I needed to change my lifestyle. I had tried gyms and it never stuck. I needed a dramatic change I have found it at the academy GTC.The academy is full of like minded people who are looking to feel healthier. The coaches are great there are no sideways glances by anyone like I have felt in other health establishments. I want to keep coming be cause i want to not because I have to.

Fantastic experience: A simply brilliant way to get fit, physically and mentally. I've lost weight before, but have never really worked hard on my fitness. This place makes fitness fun. Great coaches, great people to work out with, and loads of support. Encouragement. Positivity. Simple goals to aim towards. Meal plans. Daily blogs and videos. All the tools you need to challenge yourself and have fun. Habits you can set yourself every week. Go as hard and as fast as you like. Work to your own ability. Nobody judging you at all - whatever size or shape you are. Honestly, joining here is the best decision I've made in years. And there are scores of other people, like me, who know that this is much more than a 'gym' in the traditional sense. It's about building a better way of life through positive choices and decision-making. I lost 28lbs during the 8-week challenge, but it was about more than that for me. I feel so much better for joining this place. If you're considering getting fitter, healthier and stronger, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: The Academy has helped me to lose 20lbs so far through lifestyle and dietary advice and exercise. The exercise classes are tough but fun. It's a supportive environment where we are encouraged to only compete with ourselves while working with others and it is non-judgmental. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Positive, supportive environment that has really helped changed my health and life for the better. I honestly can't say enough good things about Jon and the entire team at The Academy GTC. All the trainers are excellent, the workout can be flexed to allow anyone to get the best out of their time at each session. But most importantly - it's the shared, community belief that encourages you to make the right choices and hit your own personal goals. I joined thinking I might do it for a short time, but I wouldn't be without it now, it's help me make really positive life decisions.

Fantastic experience: Great setup. Great motivation. Great results! Lost 23lbs in 7 weeks

Fantastic experience: The Academy is an excellent place if you want lose weight, get fit or just need some direction on how to be more healthy. Jon & Matt know what they are talking about and have created a lively, social environment which is tailored to help as many people as possible. Having completed the 20lb challenge I can attest that anyone can join and find something that works for them.

Fantastic experience: I have been goign to the Academy for 8 months now and I have just completed another challenge loosing 15lbs between November and December. That akes 45 lbs in total since I joined. Whilst that is fantastic and I am really happy the far bigger change is my fitness health and motivation. I have done things I would never have imagined I could do before I started and I have loved all the experiences. I feel like a different person and my kids have got a far better Mum who enjoys going and doing exciting thigns with them.. Joing the academy is the best decision I have ever made. It is the best money I have ever spent on myself and I can't wait for what 2019 holds. Thank you to all the coaches and fellow ninjas for yuor support and encouragement over the last 8 months.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place that will certainly improve you physically and mentally very quickly. Not my usual type of thing but have really enjoyed my time so far (the 8 week challenge). Very addictive and a great bunch of people and coaches. Sound advice on food without having to change anything drastically. Would highly recommend this to anyone stuck in a rut or wanting to improve themselves. The fittest i have ever been for sure and continue to be amazed by the visible results!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for just 8 weeks. Though it is very short time, I have had fantastic experience so far. It is very friendly environment with excellent coaches, along with great minded fellow members. I have not only learnt and doing workouts here, It helped to revamp my entire dietary too. I would like to thank the entire team for their effort and help.I highly recommend Academy for everyone especially who is keen to get back their fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for two months now, after a trying various gyms, nothing compares to the academy. The workouts are varied and challenging, you work to your ability. The support you get is amazing, helping with food and your mindset. I have lost 12.5lbs/ 7.6% body fat up to now and I personally don’t think I’d be able to do it with the academy!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend the Academy enough! Every session is really positive, friendly and fun! Great results are proven if you follow the simple systems they give you and support is always there.

Fantastic experience: Jen Harden · June 1, 2018 I came back to the academy after having my little boy. I needed to lose the baby weight. I put on 4.5stone!!! I recapped on all the info that the academy give me so that i could achieve my goal! I h... See More

Fantastic experience: The best decision Iv'e made for years was coming to the acadamy! I was overweight,unfit and in a rut. I've just completed the 20lb challenge and feel so much better for it! I honestly don't think i'd have achieved it without the support of not only the instructors but other members too. The classes are never boring, always enjoyable and the time flies. Love it!

Fantastic experience: A great place! So pleased a took the plunge and did the challenge. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. Endless support and advice regarding nutrition and exercise. The sessions are fun and effective. These things together make achieving your goals so much easier!!

Fantastic experience: The Academy GTC has genuinely changed my life and my outlook. No longer do I feel helpless when it comes to my weight and fitness; I am completely in control thanks to the amazing support and advice I’ve received. I feel I’ve really found a place and a programme that is right for me and that’s due to the incredible coaches and my fellow ninjas. The Academy is my fitness “home” and I’m a new person since discovering it!

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 20 pounds in 8 weeks challenge. I have found the whole experience great the academy sessions are great fun. You get great support from the trainers and fellow ninjas!

Fantastic experience: Am enjoying all aspects of the 'transformation' experience ! The gym sessions are varied and fun , the coaches helpful and supportive and the other members welcoming and friendly . I have just lost 18.5 lbs in 9weeks and gained energy , fitness and motivation ! It's all good here :-)

Fantastic experience: Great place to make friends, get fit and loose fat. The friendly instructors adapt the exercises to suit you so that no matter how fit (or unfit) you are you get a workout to suit you and end up smiling as you see the progress. And yes they really do give you the money back if you complete the challenge!

Fantastic experience: Great 'gym'. I never thought I would enjoy exercise as much as I am. I completeted the 20lb challenge which I never imagined I could. The coaches are amazing. The members are so supportive and encouraging to each other. Highly recommend the academy!!

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I have ever made. These guys really know what they're doing and they are so supportive. The Academy is a wonderful and special place. I've lost 22lbs in 8 weeks! I've also toned up, made friends and lost all my aches and pains. Give it a go, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Academy 9 weeks ago and have loved every minute of it. The coaches have been so supportive by encouraging me to push harder in sessions, advising about nutrition and mindset, reminding me about good sleep as well as eating healthy food and excersising. I was on the 8 week challenge to lose 20lb and I am happy to say I completed it today by losing 21lbs, I feel healthier, fitter, stronger and I am lighter and feeling so much more positive that I have for a long time. Looking forward to losing more weight and learning even more about myself in a truly amazing and fun environment :0)

Fantastic experience: Well after finally getting over the nerves and joining The Academy i can actually say i have enjoyed my first week and wish i had joined earlier. The coaches are brill and always there to offer support or to answer any of your questions. Even though i have only been there a week i already feel better in myself by the food i am eating and by doing the classes. I'm not going to say its easy but it is defiantly worth it.

Fantastic experience: I have found the whole experience fun rather than a challenge. The support and encouragement I've received is unique. The workouts have been varied throughout and always offer an element of competition (but only against yourself). Having completed my Challenge I find myself back at the Academy and still enjoy the sessions. I continue to leave them feeling more positive and motivated than when I arrive!! Try it for yourself and see!

Fantastic experience: I've been at the Academy for 9 weeks and have achieved more here than I did at my previous gym in 3 years. The coaches are supportive and helpful and the workouts are varied and challenging. The membership is worth every penny and I'm so glad that I finally joined.

Fantastic experience: I rejoined the academy 3 months ago and really wish I had never stopped. I have just completed another 20lb challenge and already feel fitter and healthier. The sessions are great fun and the coaches are really supportive in helping you reach your goals. I can't recommend the academy enough, if you are looking to loose weight in a fun and supportive environment this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Th Academy is a great way to loose weight and get in shape, everyone if very helpful and makes it a fun way to get fit.

Fantastic experience: Excellent encouraging place that really does promote transformation. Especially impressed by the available resources to help make better food choices & emphasis on changing eating / lifestyle patterns, this has definitely helped me reach my first goal & am intending to continue.

Fantastic experience: i joined the Academy 8weeks ago and in that time ive lost 30lbs they are the real deal very very friendly place with superb coaching and eating guidance its the best thing ive done

Fantastic experience: The most amazing place to go, I've completely changed my life because of this place, 20lbs down minus 10% body fat and I feel fantastic. Your workout sessions are tough and the results are easy to see. Great bunch of people there, would recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great structured sessions with encouraging and positive coaches and members. First time in several years where I have managed to stick to both an exercise regime and healthy diet and achieved a good weight loss (24lbs in 2 months)!

Fantastic experience: I started at the academy on the 11th January 17 and I have already lost 22lb... there is no other reason than I have stuck to the plan! I would highly recommend The Academy group transformation centre... the best decision I have made in 2017! Thank you Jon, Matt, Bernie & Andy - here is to the next 23lb....

Fantastic experience: Since joining the academy 2 months ago I have now completed the 20lb challenge and couldn't be happier I have so much more energy and generally feel better. The coaches and all the other members are fantastic can not recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Honestly I don't know where to start from but the thing that I'm 100% sure of is that joining the Academy was the best decision I have taken in my life. So, I am approaching the end of my 3rd month in the Academy and I have lost 33lbs. It is not only about losing weight, I am feeling more stronger, fitter and this boosted my self confidence. I am doing many exercises that I have never thought I will be able to do. The Academy is not like a conventional gym, it is a change of your life style. I mean that you will be eating healthier, minimising the stress that you're facing in your life and sleeping well. You will be doing all of that and having fun to. Everybody in the Academy is a true family, they are all helpful and supportive to a level that you won't believe. For all of that I feel really thankful for the existence of the Academy that have changed my life for the better. Also a huge thank you for my fellow ninjas who have been a true family and made the sessions so much fun and easier.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Academy in August and it was a great decision. Since then I have lost weight through the regular exercise sessions and following the recommended healthy eating regime. I was made welcome from the start by both the coaches and the other members.I can highly recommend The Academy.

Fantastic experience: Anyone wanting to loose weight, get fit and totally change their attitude towards food for the better, must join the Academy. I joined in September and lost 21.5 lbs on the weight loss challenge. My body fat has gone down from 28% to 21% and for the first time in my adult life, after having spent years trying every crash and fad diet going, I can confidently say that I look and feel fantastic. You'd think that to loose that amount of weight in 8 weeks might feel like punishment but I can honestly say that it didn't for me, I actually found it quite easy and I have really embraced the concept with regards to the nutrition so I'm never going to put weight back on again.

Fantastic experience: I lost 23lb in just 6 weeks! The Academy has a fantastic regime that supports weight loss and a healthier life style. Joining the Academy is one of the best decision I have ever made. I cannot recommend it enough if you want to loose weight and improve your general health.

Fantastic experience: I've enjoyed an incredible couple of months at The Academy. Both my mind and body have changed for the better and I cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds! Thanks to Jon, Matt and the rest of the team for creating a supportive and welcoming environment regardless of age, size, fitness level etc- I don't know anywhere else quite like it!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to the Academy for just over 2 months now, I can honestly say it's been one of the best experiences, not just because of the weight loss (although that is a huge factor!) but also because I'm enjoying it, no matter how much I whine about wanting to die in the sessions, I do genuinely enjoy myself, the people are all lovely and very supportive. I've done hundreds of different things in the past to lose weight and it's never worked, a pound here or there and then I put it back on. Since joining I've lost 26lb which is fantastic and really encourages me to keep going. The thing I probably love the most is that it's not saying you can never have a drink or never have cake or chocolate, it's just making sensible choices which I've got to admit I wasn't doing before! I can't recommend the academy enough and intend to continue my journey here!

Fantastic experience: I joined The Academy to do the 20lbs in 8 week challenge. Having spent most of the year trying (& failing) to lose some weight and get fitter I wasn’t sure whether I would achieve this, but 6 and a bit weeks in I had lost 20lbs. Everybody is very friendly & encouraging. The advice & explanation given about what to eat is fantastic. The sessions are well run & actually enjoyable. Feel so much better than before I started.
