Fantastic experience: I attend Athletica Fitness on a Sunday to take part in Jess’s Sunday Circuit. Attending these classes has made me absolutely love exercise which is something that I never thought I would be able to say. Jess is an amazing personal trainer and she makes her sessions extremely fun and easy to attend. Sunday Circuits are a chance to meet new people and set yourself up for the day ahead! I would completely recommend these circuits for anyone wanting to get their fitness levels up in a fun way!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to athletica with Jess on Sundays for her circuit training and it has been amazing! The gym is really good and has a lot of great equipment! The set up is always good and I always leave feeling extremely happy with how it went. Jess is also great for making you want to exercise and have fun! Definitely recommend this gym it's such a good space for working out and close to everything
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Sunday Circuits class by Jess. I have always struggled with the idea of stepping into a gym but the class at Athletica is perfect for that intimate space. Jess is so supportive, funny, motivating and really makes me feel welcome. The class has been so positive for me and I genuinely look forward to it every week! Couldn’t recommend it enough, thank you Jess x
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming along to the Sunday circuits sessions ran by Jess and have been loving them! The class varies week to week but I always leave feeling like I’ve done a great workout and sets me up for the rest of the day! Jess is lovely and explains everything in depth, she is also there for extra support if needed, would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Having worked with the amazing PT Cassie for years, I have now also started Sunday Circuits with Jess! The gym is fantastic, PT’s are awesome and the I can’t recommend the Sunday morning sessions enough! Get involved!
Fantastic experience: I was struggling to find a gym in LoS where I could train for upcoming CrossFit competitions when I travelled back to the UK over the Christmas break. I found Ahtletica and I'm very glad I did because they have a fantastic space in a low capped capacity gym with outstanding equipment. The low cap means I was able to train without having to wait for any equipment to come free and there was always a trainer on hand to speak to. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting to train for CrossFit competitively or just wanting to improve their health and fitness. Thank you for having me Athletica!
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Very friendly and excellent PTs
Fantastic experience: Great trainers and great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Great set-up, Athletica is well equipped. Trainers really know their stuff and make you feel at ease. They know how to motivate, and keep you striving for the next level. So pleased I took the plunge and joined Athletica. My strength has improved a lot and has boosted my self-confidence.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Dom at Athletica for 8 months. I have seen physical results in that time but the biggest difference has been actually enjoying working out. Dom tailors the programme to my needs/requests (apart from taking out the dreaded split squats - which he assures me are worth it) and knows when to push me and when I can’t do any more. The other trainers are all friendly and the studio vibe is one of people wanting to get fit and have a laugh whilst doing so. I would definitely recommend both Dom and Athletica to anyone who is looking for a new trainer or place to train.
Fantastic experience: I've used many gyms over the years and I have to say that Athletica in Leigh is the friendliest and most welcoming. Whether it's the trainers or the users, everyone is friendly. Gina has done an excellent job in helping me to build up my strength over the past 9 months and never ceases to amaze me with the different routines she comes up with to make every session different.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym in central Leigh. Very welcoming group of coaches who are skilled in their craft of helping you meet your fitness goals. It’s been great working with Dominic over the last few months. Thanks for your knowledge and encouragement !
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Gina at Athletica since about August and have been really enjoying my fitness journey so far. Gina is a friendly, positive and realistic goal centred PT. The gym itself is really well equipped, clean and welcoming space no matter where you are on the fitness scale.
Fantastic experience: The space in the gym is fab, equipment is great, lots of variety and all feels nice and new, you don't feel like your working out on top of each other. The trainers are fab, really great atmosphere to work out in! and all super friendly and easy to approach.
Fantastic experience: Lovely, friendly place to work out - Dominic is a champ and best trainer I’ve ever worked with. This is the place to go if you don’t want the ‘gym bro’ experience, but rather somewhere with support and encouragement.
Fantastic experience: Great local personal training gym! All the PTs are super friendly but still drive results. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I began training classes this year with Natalie. I was anxious about attending due to my weight and lack of fitness. I didn’t need to worry, Natalie made me feel very welcome and has been encouraging me each week. This has really motivated me, and I’ve already seen real improvements. I’ve lost weight and my overall fitness levels are so much better. It’s been a great boost to my confidence. As a result, I’ve taken on more classes with Natalie, along with a bespoke training program. The gym is great, helped by the knowledge and enthusiasm of Natalie and the other trainers. I recommend booking a class or PT session.
Fantastic experience: So i hate the Gym with a passion truly ... But i find myself in my 12th month training with Dominic my PT. Im not going to say i now love the Gym but Dominic has taught me so much about the health benefits so i now class my sessions as a must, and i admit just a tad that maybe a part of me now enjoys training, please dont tell him. All the PTs are great, friendly and lovely people and the Studio is a comfortable enviroment, if your looking to start training for whatever reason definately give these guys a shout.
Fantastic experience: Was worried that I would be too old unfit but Dominic made to feel welcome and included from the start. It is a great team and despite it not being a large space, you always feel you have enough room and there is a great range of equipment. Really knowledgeable friendly trainers and would recommend it to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Athletica is an amazing gym and has the bonus of being right in the middle of Leigh. All of the PTs are extremely knowledgable and make for a friendly/personable environment. This is perfect for those a bit worried about using the weights section in a bigger, commercial gym! I have been training with Dom for over a year and I have learnt from him so much about myself and training. I have never seen better results than I have with Dom. Couldn’t recommend Athletica enough.
Fantastic experience: This place is for everyone. The Gym is well equipped, clean and has plenty of space. The place has a really relaxed feeling with facilities covering everything you need for a workout. I want to come here. Working with Domonic Foster (PT) has helped get me back on track, build confidence, set new goals & help me feel the best, at 50, I’ve ever felt.
Fantastic experience: Legends. I hated exercise and the gym as a whole, Cassie has been encouraging and kind and really started to change my whole outlook on training. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Awesome personal training space with a highly professional team. Incredible range of equipment. Always love my training sessions here!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic set-up and great range of equipment. This is the level that all PT establishments need to aim for.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and professional environment. Great guys and girls both those who work there and train there. Love it.
Fantastic experience: A lovely personal training facility with knowledgeable and friendly PTs.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my sessions with Lauren at Athletica. I’ve seen a huge difference in strength and fitness. There’s a great range of equipment at the studio and Lauren pushes me just the right amount - I always come away with a smile on my face!
Fantastic experience: Great gym where all the PTs are very knowledgeable. Cassie done great to create a plan to meet my specific needs and goals. Also the environment is so welcoming and friendly to make working out enjoyable
Fantastic experience: Dom is genuinely the best trainer I have ever worked with.... ok so he's the only one but even so... currently 16lbs off since December and so much fitter than I have been in years. Constantly motivating and innovating. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Fantastic experience: Studio Athletica is an excellent gym. Dom is very accommodating from customizing exercises to offering nutrition advice and providing as much support as you need. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: A great, unpretentious workout space, with great PTs who aren’t there to boost their social media, but work with you in achieving your goals. Decent no nonsense equipment and space, you can’t go wrong here. Cannot recommend this place and the PT team enough, 10/10 would def recommend to a friend and am so glad I joined a year ago!
Fantastic experience: Atletica Studio is a perfect place to have PersonalTraining. The equipment and space is ideal and has everything I need. The Personal Trainers are extremely knowledgable and very nice to work with. I love it.
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Athletica since they opened. I love training with these people, all workouts are tailored to your goals and they help you reach and exceed more than you think you are capable of. Because workouts are so personalised they are adapted to take into account any niggles you may have with your body from time to time. The space is great, it's friendly and all of the PTs are driven and celebrate your achievements. This is so very different from larger and corporate facilities where posturing and posing seems to be a thing. I would definitely recommend Athletica, especially if you like me find bigger gyms a tad intimidating.
Fantastic experience: Athletica is an awesome gym with amazing personal trainers. I have been training with Dom and have been really impressed with his knowledge and sheer enthusiasm in getting me into shape. If you’re looking for a gym with the personal touch and trainers that don’t just sit on their phones, Athletica is for you.
Fantastic experience: Friendliest, most chilled gym I’ve ever been to. All the PTs are lovely, incredibly well informed, and really take the time to make a personalised plan tailored for you. Always checking in to see how you’re doing and what your goals are. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Lauren is the best personal trainer I’ve ever had. She pushes me but also knows how to make me laugh and is very aware of my fears/insecurities. I love our workouts. The gym is always clean, friendly clients with no judgements. As a plus size woman it’s the best place for me to work out as I’m comfortable. If your looking for a friendly, no judgements and well equipped gym then this is place for you!!
Fantastic experience: I have been training here for just over four months now and have gone from a dislike for any weight training to looking forward to training here every week. The time and patience Dom puts into building out a personalised workout plan to track and meet my goals is amazing. The sessions are focused, Dom is very attentive and will explain anything to help build confidence. I am always being pushed and surprise myself every week. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Such a great space for one on one training. Dominic is an excellent PT who I've been training with for around a year now. He is encouraging, motivating and really pushes me to my limits even when I want to stop. He tailors each session around my specific goals and is mindful of my lower back pains ensuring no further damage is done.
Fantastic experience: Cassie has completely changed me in ways that I couldn’t think was possible. She is extremely knowledgeable and the loveliest person. My sessions with her have always been fantastic and her support has always been immense. I always look forward so much to train with her in the super friendly and up to date studio. Cannot recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: I have had the privilege of training with Cassie and the team at Athletica, the gym is a welcoming friendly environment and I won't be as strong and fit as I am now without them. Have supported me every step of the way Highly recommend them to everyone.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Athletica for about a year now with Dom and I am nothing but impressed with the sessions organised and the results gained throughout this time. Dom is also mindful of my ongoing knee injury and tailors a programme suitable for this to ensure I achieve goals injury free. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I've just completed a 10 session training course with Cassie and have absolutely LOVED it! I was dubious about having PT sessions as I've done a lot of fitness and strength training but never had one on one teaching. It is so incredibly worth doing, I have learned so much and just love every session, I always leave feeling amazing. Cassie pushes you to achieve your best and builds on it each session. It's a really cool space to train in and everyone is super welcoming. Can't wait to book again
Fantastic experience: A perfect training facility. Cassie is an amazing Personal Trainer, she always knows week to week how much to push me and checks in through the week if she knows I've had a bad week. I feel amazing at the end of every session. It has helped my confidence so much. Access to all the equipment that's needed. It's private and I prefer it so much more than a gym. I highly recommend booking a session with any member of the team.
Fantastic experience: Great little studio. I always think I'm in New York with its really cool, pared back look and it's also run by a lovely crew. Good equipment including a monster resistance bike and a skier machine.
Fantastic experience: Trainer is professional and empathetic, and works with my body and my limitations of age and injury to get the best out of me. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Thank you so much Glenda - you're such a hard worker and have come so far! xx
Fantastic experience: Cassie has always encouraged me to push myself further and achieve more than I thought possible. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, supportive and of course strong. She has helped me get back to lifting after several major surgeries and really listens to and respects what I want to focus on. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much Helen! You've always been an absolute pleasure to train xx
