Fantastic experience: Awesome community. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic welcome by all the staff and members has made this experience really special for me. The coaches really care about how you are and what you need in terms of making adjustments tailored to your individual ability in both group classes and small PT groups sessions. I was really anxious about coming to the gym having done very little exercise apart from dog walking, but I needn’t have worried. Highly recommend giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: Marchon have created an inclusive, welcoming and fun fitness community that welcomes people at all stages of their journey. They consistently deliver excellent, high quality training with brilliant coaches. The classes are reflective of a learning community that is continually adapting and improving to ensure that their members are challenged encouraged. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Fantastic experience: The best gym and fitness community I’ve ever been part of. Quality and excellence in their knowledge and delivery of how to build fit and strong men and women. Super proud to be a Marchon advocate - everybody is welcome, you don’t need to be fit or young, ha! Give it a go, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility, walk in and everything is set for a great workout. Truly attentive excellent coaches, that can help you adapt for anything. Have never felt stronger! Having never committed to a gym previously for longer than 6 months, I’ve been going for 6 years consistently, even as a full time lawyer with young children. And I’m still learning new things every day from all the team and members. Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: Marchon HQ is a buzzy, busy gym. The coaches are all very friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable and adapt to your training needs and capabilities. It’s a very friendly space with members of all ages and abilities working out together. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Never managed to keep up a routine at a gym before, but am regularly going 3/4 times a week.. and most importantly am loving it. Have shed a stone in 6 months and feel more mobile and fitter than ever. Can’t rate the coaches highly enough for the support and knowledge being passed on. This gym supports a community , that’s inspirational and motivational .. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: As someone new starting out going to the gym a few years ago, Marchon has been absolutely fantastic. Excellent coaches and a really friendly atmosphere - would highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic experience: Five stars doesn’t do Marchon Harpenden justice. The quality of the coaching and equipment is simply the best you’ll receive in a fitness studio. Cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Go 3 times a week and have been there for 6 years. Very good trainers always have their eyes on the people training, and have alternatives if they spot anything that needs changing.

Fantastic experience: Great location, even better community! Welcoming, supportive, transformational, second to none coaching and programming. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best!! Facilities are excellent, the classes and PT sessions are brilliant. The coaches are incredible and genuinely care about you and your progress. Have been a member for 4 months and have already experienced results that far exceeded expectations. Love Marchon!

Fantastic experience: Almost finished a trial and it’s been a great experience for a novice gymgoer. Friendly team, learnt lots and it’s obvious already the training is high quality and will make a big difference. It’s been effortless getting motivated to go…that probably says it all.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to get fit, challenge yourself or find a positive and accountable community, I cannot recommend Marchon enough to you. The coaching is top notch and they exude excellence in all they do. I have learned a lot in just one month.

Fantastic experience: Having recently joined MARCHON on a 30-day trial, I cannot recommend them highly enough! The coaches are all great, really supportive and highly knowledgeable in their field. The gym itself is kitted out to a high standard with modern equipment and the classes or all well structured, whilst being both challenging and enjoyable at the same time! As someone that has never enjoyed the gym, I can honestly say that the experience at MARCHON has completely changed my opinion and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody else!

Positive experience: I was just chauffeur

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym... Alex and the boys offer a second to none service.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best gym, community and coaches. I've never looked forward to exercising more than I do at Marchon!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, wonderful coaching, friendly community. I was nervous to start Marchon because I didn't think I was fit enough. But the coaches and community have been so welcoming. I honestly cannot recommend Marchon enough!

Fantastic experience: Marchon Athletic have reset the bar when it comes to personal fitness, there approach, focus and continuous attention to every member is second to none. They have built a welcoming community that supports each other and enjoys pushing themselves and improving themselves. I could not recommend them enough. Train EVERYTHING so you’re ready for ANYTHING

Fantastic experience: Me and a mate travelled from oxford for the Saturday Sermom at 1015am ran by Alex Reeder. Our first time at Marchon, we weren’t disappointed!! The gym and equipment is first class and the coaching and overview from Alex was spot on. The perfect start to the weekend. We will definitely be back for another session soon.

Fantastic experience: I joined Marchon in December 2022 and have improved my overall fitness considerably. I have never progressed so quickly at any other gym. The team are fantastic and all the members are really supportive. The classes get adjusted on the fly to meet your capability or work around any injuries you may have. I have a dedicated coach who I talk to via whatsapp and in person. Shout out to Aymon for helping prep me for a marathon at short notice and getting me into a position where I can compete at events. The gym delivers huge VALUE for money and I very happy with my return on investment in the last 7 to 8 months!

Fantastic experience: Marchon is an amazing gym. The trainers are incredibly supportive and nothing is ever too much trouble. I work much MUCH harder at Marchon than I would going to a gym where I’m left to my own devices. There are multiple sessions each day from 6AM to late in the evening, so It’s always possible to fit in Marchon around life’s other commitments. Marchon Gym is surprisingly good value for money, especially if you attend all your sessions each month (which you will, because it’s honestly so much fun and you’ll actually enjoy the process of getting fitter). The quality of training is superbly high but you don’t need to be a gym bod to fit in. Fellow gym goers are a very friendly bunch across all ages. Join, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and people. As someone short on time I never thought I would be able to incorporate or have the energy to go to regular classes/PT. The enjoyment and motivation I get from MARCHON has meant though I have now been a member for 4 years and love it. Instructors are passionate and have huge knowledge to help all levels

Fantastic experience: I’ve wanted to improve my general health and fitness for a while but in all honesty find it hard to keep my self motivated. My boyfriend suggested I trial Marchon as he is already a member and finds it keeps him on the right track with exercise and nutrition. I was nervous given that I have little confidence in my own abilities when it comes to being active, but after my very first induction session with Billy I knew that this was the place for me. All the team, Al, Charlie, Billy, Aymon and Max are not only experts in their field, professionally, but are also incredible coaches. Their passion shines through at every touch point, they are approachable, warm, friendly and adaptable. As someone who has had a long term back problem, it’s refreshing and reassuring that the team constantly check in during sessions, adapt exercise where needed and keep me on track to make sure my form improves each time. I cannot praise Marchon enough, it’s probably the first time in my life that I look forward to going to the gym, and that’s down to the community that this team has created. As further proof, everyone I speak to in the gym has the same sentiment. Even in my first four weeks I have noticed a difference in my body and also my mindset and approach to exercise. I would advise anyone who is thinking of joining, regardless of level or ability, to 100% go for it… you won’t regret!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, every one is friendly and extremely knowledgably, professional and a great experience, will defiantly be signing up after my travels

Fantastic experience: You will not find a better training solution. Just join and turn up, they'll do the rest.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym that I would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Amazing place,and incredible team , I seriously couldn’t do much 2 years ago,because I have a serious lower back injury , but marchon put me back at the road ,I really couldn’t believe that, I can do what im doing now , love this gym , and really hope they do very well,they are local , love it .

Fantastic experience: Top class service from start to finish!! Ordered a couple of jumpers, which are fantastic! Sara was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend to all!!

Fantastic experience: Highly impressive. I was having back problems when I started. The coaches were particularly helpful and supportive in getting me integrated into the programme without doing myself harm. They set a great example and I am really enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of this gym for a few years now. Enjoy the community spirit and the instructions from a dedicated team of coaches. They cater to everyone's ability and the social events are a highlight for me. DZH

Fantastic experience: Simply the best in the business. The guys at MA are fantastic. I had not been to a gym for a number of years and whilst I was aerobically fit I wasnt entirley conviced that using weights was going to enhance my overall fitness and wellbeing. 18months on I am glad to report that I couldn't have been more wrong and it is down to the MA team - including trainers, nutritionists and the wider support team. Its not just one element its all the elements coming together that make it a step above anything else out there (in my experience).

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained individually for years and results have been very hit and miss. I’ve always been concerned or nervous of the idea of group sessions so was a little reserved when joining MARCHON. I was so wrong. The group classes help you push yourself harder. The coaches encourage you through to achieve and are always careful of your form and ability. The work and output they created during Lockdown was phenomenal and kept me sane. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: The Personal training tag does not do this place justice, more like advanced personalised training. I stepped into the gym three months ago weighing in at 14 stone and around 20% body fat, now under I’m 12 stone And 9% body fat. Great nutritional advice for the hours outside the gym to compliment the time i spend in it and the personal service to suit my goals. if you’re not a member and want to improve your fitness and wellbeing then I suggest you sign up now.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Marchon enough, no matter your goals. The instructors are hugely knowledgeable, patient and get the best out of you. I came from a long-distance cycling background and was pretty apprehensive about lifting weights, but the focus on technique and core strength has been fantastic and given me a lot of confidence. I also really rate the supportive atmosphere - there is zero in the way of embarrassment / pressure / shame if you need to start out at lower weights and take more time than others. My power output and form on the bike are up, but perhaps more importantly my day-to-day strength picking up the kids, posture and sleep etc. are all vastly improved. The results are so superior at Marchon that I genuinely wonder why more trainers / gyms don’t follow this model.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of MARCHON since they opened over five years ago... MARCHON offers so much including an amazing sense of community. Their training style is like no other, the motivation to exercise and become fitter is far beyond that of a regular gym. If you want to become fitter, stronger and more energised then I highly recommend joining MARCHON.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Marchon since November 2019, and I love it! The team are passionate, professional and approachable. They know when to push your buttons, to get you working harder than you have ever worked and to put an arm around you to explain movements you might not be comfortable with. The community is great too, no egos, welcoming and hardworking, I would highly recommend the Marchon Gym, the music is always good too and loud! #withoutlimits

Fantastic experience: Top gym and top people. We were in the area and pre-arranged one off session with Max. Pair of us did a functional session as part of a group of 4. Gym has all the equipment you’d need. Made to feel very welcome by ALL the Marchon staff. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great set up

Fantastic experience: Highest quality coaching, facilities and overall environment. Impossible to beat.

Fantastic experience: I’m following the female performance programme on line- I’m loving the programme- the coaches are incredible professional and approachable. The gym has such a positive mindset it’s difficult to not love training alongside these peeps. The additional nutritional services offered are ace- big thanks to Didi, Ollie and Charlie and the wider family at Marchon.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been on the female performance programme for about 4 weeks now and honestly it was the best decision I’ve ever made! The programming is amazing and I love the variability in it. Also having the Facebook group is so great as it’s somewhere you can go to share your thoughts on the sessions or get help from the coaches and other members. I really feel like I’m part of a community and would 100% recommend it to anyone thinking of joining the female performance programme

Fantastic experience: They really look after you at the gym. Whatever your level of training or age, they will adapt the exercises for you as it's not a one-size-fits-all in the classes. They take into account any injuries etc Very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: The masters of the game! Their training programmes have helped me smash my exercise goals but most of all they are so fun and enjoyable! The whole team are so friendly and have always been there whenever I have needed any support! Could not recommend anymore, the Marchon team are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I recently started going to Marchon on a 30 day trial and have been really impressed by how good it is. I have been a member of various big chain gyms for all my adult life but Marchon is unique. They are all very friendly, professional and encourage you to push yourself. The classes are good fun with a great community spirit. The 6am sessions work brilliantly for me as I’m a busy working Mum and as I’m really local I can work out and be back home before anyone is even up!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever and have lived in many places around the world. I’m the fittest I have ever because of their structured approach to weight /conditioning sessions. They create an unbelievable sense of security when helping one progress to next level. Great family atmosphere. Gym always clean. I’m always full of beans when I come back from marchon so sets me up for the day!! Love this place!! Oh - did I mention I lost 9 kilos in past 5 months! T

Fantastic experience: I joined the Females Performance Programme a month ago and so far I am loving it! As a coach myself, I wanted to delegate my training programme and also build some accountability. The facebook group does just that with everyone saying how they got on, it makes you want to push harder. The team at Marchon are always quick to help and support you, I feel like I know them in person having not met them before. The programme layouts are fun, enjoyable and really do make you reach different levels @gracehonorcoaching

Fantastic experience: Exceptional team of trainers who truly care about their clients and who adapt on an individual basis to bast suit all our needs. A fun, uplifting place to train which transforms your day x

Fantastic experience: Just when I thought I'd never be fit again, Marcheon proved me wrong. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: From the coaches, to the training, to the classes, to the members, it’s simply the best!

Fantastic experience: New gym.. all you need personal training

Fantastic experience: I can imagine that this must be one of the best gyms in the UK if not the world! The trainers are so professional and friendly and cater for all competencies. Note - this is NOT a turn up and train place but requires a membership and bookings.

Fantastic experience: Amazing sense of community. I am now in the best shape of my adult life. Totally different training experience than a traditional gym or PT setup, with a wonderfully kitted out environment.

Fantastic experience: If you want to be fitter, stronger, happier then join MA. Over delivers on all aspects - so much more than just a gym. Awesome people, awesome place!

Fantastic experience: The most amazing gym with superb trainers, PT and HIIT sessions. Always evolving, Marchon is leading the fitness industry. Their knowledge is unrivalled. So proud to belong and be part of this wonderful community.

Fantastic experience: Marchon is 1st Class, the coaches, the facility, the workouts and the people. The coaches knowledge and patience is second to none. I feel so lucky to be able to train here, and recommend anyone to give it a try. I promise you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Marchon offers a unique and revolutionary training experience. Trainers who are both technical experts and industry ambassadors push you to realise your physical potential in an unparalleled fitness facility and alongside an incredibly supportive community. It doesn’t get any better than Marchon!

Fantastic experience: Quite simply the best gym in the UK, not just in Harpenden or Hertfordshire. The equipment is first rate, the coaches are all so knowledgeable and friendly and the clientele are all one big Marchon Family. Totally recommended!! I thoroughly enjoy every visit.

Fantastic experience: Having used personal trainers for the last 10 years I can honestly say that the guys at MA offer an experience on a completely different level. Their knowledge is second to none, they are leaders in their field and they ensure the training is fun and hard! The members are great people and everybody is so friendly, supportive and committed. I look forward to training as a highlight of each day as I know I will see plenty of smiles and know I am getting the best out of myself as well as helping my fellow members do the same. A real community spirit. The coaches pay attention to every detail and their support during any rehab or recovery even includes customising training programmes to facilitate your rehab programme. I have made good friends at MARCHON in the 2.5 years I’ve been a member and seeing the gym grow Into what is now an industry leading gym has been a privilege.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t like gyms. MA is different- their PT programmes & classes are current, challenging and enjoyable. We may have different goals but we all leave smiling, happier - both mentally and physically. It is a community and very supportive from training to nutrition. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: A truly fantastic personal training gym, the best I have been to. All of the trainers are exceptional, professional and focus on form, your wellbeing and fitness. If you’re looking for a gym that has an amazing community feel that will help you get the results you are striving for, Marchon is the best there is, no question!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed training here- a great atmosphere at all times within the gym, and all PT's are always so motivational whilst training! Proper warm-ups before each session ensure fewer aches and pains, and really noticed my form improve hugely from the 1-1 guidance. All in all great gym!

Fantastic experience: Marchon is so much more than just a gym. For someone that had never done sports before, I was quite worried when I started, everybody looked so fit! Honestly, I only tried it because it was the only one that offered 6 am classes. Marchon coaches and members welcomed me with open arms, I have never felt judged. Over the time, it has become one of my favourite places. All coaches are AMAZING, the classes hard but fun, and the community feel is unique. And I feel fit for the first time in my life!

Fantastic experience: Having been in High levels sports and fitness for years I can honestly say this is probably one of the best facilities I’ve been too. So professional and structured. If I lived closer I’d be here daily! Highly recommended for those who want to change their lives, bodies and mind. Give it a go - you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic personalised service to suit anyone's needs. All the staff at Marchon Athletic make working out and getting fit enjoyable. Their service extends beyond the gym as they are always on the other end of the phone to answer any questions.
