Stanza Fitness

Fantastic experience: Stanza is a fantastic gym with supportive trainers who 100% know their stuff. The gym itself feels spacious and clean and you use a wide range of the weights and equipment during sessions. The sessions are small so you get lots of personalised feedback and you'll always be given adjustments to make sure that you're doing the weights correctly to avoid risk of injury. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever attended. The PTs were fantastic and gave excellent support. I felt good after every session and would definitely recommend to join.

Fantastic experience: This is the gym I’ve been looking for all my life. And I thought I hated gyms (and don’t get me started on weights). Instructors are all amazing - SO knowledgeable, motivational and friendly without being bullish or judgemental. Workouts are tough but super empowering. I ❤️ it (and so does Future Me!)

Fantastic experience: I have joined stanza in November and I am so happy I did. The team is great and super professional. Highly recommended if you are looking to start your fitness journey, SGPT is working very well for me and with only 2 sessions per week I can see a lot of improvements !!!! Great people!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Both PT and individual gym training offered. Top range of equipment and a real boutique feel. Coaching team and staff are the friendliest you’ll meet and zero egos here. Nicest place to train like a pro in Bath, hands down.

Fantastic experience: Carl, Ben, Abi, Tim, Cobi, Alex, Lily, Aaron, Justin, India, Becky and Paul who run Stanza Fitness are all highly hospitable, knowledgeable, and are consistently available to advise when I need some feedback on a movement, and for a good chat. The other members are very personable, and I’ve met a number of great people while training here. The gym is kept hygienic, is spacious, and the equipment provides me with all I need for my training. There’s good music and good vibes, always. If you’re looking for an enjoyable and productive place to train, then I recommend here without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely group of people. Trainers and gym goers included. Group PT sessions are a game changer! Never felt so comfortable in a gym. Lovely interior also.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable and very well run gym.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Highly recommended. Nothing fancy but it has all the necessary equipment. The gym is rarely busy. And is kept spotlessly clean! The staff are lovely, always a friendly welcome. I use Justin as PT who is excellent for rehab and training.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! I have been going to the small group PT sessions and the PTs are very supportive and knowledgeable. There is a great mix of strength training and cardio and I am seeing progression each week. Despite it being a small group, they still tailor the session as an individual, especially being aware of injuries. It’s also spotlessly clean! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great, positive environment with very friendly staff that make you feel comfortable and are ready to support, no matter what your level of experience. Equipment is exactly what you need for a full body workout!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Bath, Filled with fantastic Eleiko Equipment. Super friendly and supportive staff. Cannot thank them enough, big shout out to Aaron!

Fantastic experience: I trained at Stanza Fitness and had a great time. It’s clean, great equipment and the staff were friendly and helpful too. I recommend Stanza Fitness to anyone in the Bath area who wants a friendly, welcoming gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym in the centre of Bath! Stanza is an incredibly welcoming gym with a great atmosphere and community feel amongst all the PTs and members. The quality of the equipment is great and the extensive knowledge of the PTs is impressive. A very friendly and enjoyable place to train and would recommend it to anyone looking to level up their training.

Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible. Working with a PT (Hannah) has given me confidence in my abilities and allows me to get on and do what I need to do to achieve my goals, whether I’m in this gym or another (as I travel for work). The facilities are excellent, the staff are open and welcoming, the other members are friendly which adds to a sense of community and the atmosphere helps to generate a focused mindset. Sad to have moved away from Bath as it means I can’t go to the gym here any longer. If you’re looking for a gym in Bath, this is the one you’ve been looking for!

Fantastic experience: Have been attending PT sessions here for a few weeks now. Extremely positive experience. A very nice gym, well laid out and looks like very high end equipment. The personal training, I have had with Ben has been excellent so far. Really is so so much better and more effective than simply attending a gym on your own and taking a guess at what you should do. He certainly knows what he's doing & seems very switched on. I look forward to the sessions which are currently twice per week. 5 stars! Fully recommend this place. In fact, I was referred here by my Chiropractor and it's been very positive...

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is the perfect gym for elite level training, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They have a fantastic team of industry leading coaches, willing to help anyone, with the expertise to help you reach your desired goals. The gym is equipped with all the kit needed to get the most out of each and every session. I can’t recommend Stanza highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I started sessions with Carl early in 2020. I was immediately impressed by how he paid close attention to my health and back injury concerns. The routines he creates are specific to my needs and limitations. Even with all of the lockdowns and interruptions, I have been able to see a massive improvement in my fitness, and my knowledge of techniques. Carl ensures I know the finite details of the exercises so I prevent injury both in and out of the gym. I’ve learned to know exactly how to brace, proper breathing techniques and how to keep my spine neutral. All, things that are vital to someone with hyper-mobility and back injuries. I also have to note the very high hygiene standards at Stanza. I had absolutely no concerns going there when we were allowed during the pandemic. Everything was wiped constantly, before, during and after use. We were kept well apart and there were very few people in the gym at one time. I highly recommend Carl (and I’m sure the rest of his team are of the same standard) for all levels of fitness training.

Fantastic experience: I have been a Coach at stanza for the past 3 months. There isn't a day I feel more welcomed and pushed to succeed with my business. Since day one everyone of the other coaches make my clients feel at home and the gym has this vibe unlike any other. The quality of facilities both in gym equipment and leisure facilities are premium. The gym always spotless and staff members always smiling. From a coaches standpoint I could not have gotten to where I am today and where I aim to be soon without the guidance and mentorship of Carl, Abi and Ben so I'm forever grateful for their belief and generosity towards me and the growth of my service. Once a home always a home both for coaches and for members. We are sharks

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people. Everyone is friendly and passionate about what they do. It’s always a positive and relaxed environment. There are no egos in this gym. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgable, competent and professional people who actually care. I highly recommend Stanza fitness.

Fantastic experience: Stanza is a great gym. The people running it are committed professionals. It’s really friendly, and I have never had the intimidating ‘what are you doing here?’ vibe that I’ve experienced in the free weights areas of other gyms, where the regulars are hovering and waiting for you to finish your set. I feel welcome, encouraged, and surrounded by experts who really tune in to your needs and can help with the technical aspects of lifting weights. They notice your improvement and celebrate with you as you reach personal milestones. In recent months with social distancing, I have most importantly felt safe - they have really thought through the placement of equipment and cleaning regime. They also run some excellent online sessions, and have an online portal, which makes exercising during lockdown an easier concept. Thank you for all that you do.

Fantastic experience: Small but enough for me. And every trainer are nice and cool

Fantastic experience: Such a well run and great gym. The owners are very proud and knowledgeable, couldn’t ask for a better training facility.

Fantastic experience: Everything I needed to get a great workout in. Friendly and helpful staff. New equipment. Great location close to my hotel.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment and makes you feel at ease. All the instructors are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Went on a trial pass, gym workers extremely friendly with all equipment I could need available. Gym was noticeably spotless; refreshing to work out in a gym that feels and looks clean.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for more from a gym, brilliant team behind an excellent facility. Nothing is too much to ask in the friendly environment they’ve created. No doubt anyone that goes in, feels better walking out!

Fantastic experience: Class facilities and very welcoming staff. Clean and exactly whats needed in a gym. Staff very knowledgeable surrounding fitness and happy to assist. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started with Stanza Fitness 8 months ago. In this time I have gained life changing knowledge and transformed my body. I started training with Abi 7 months ago. She not only gave me training and nutrition skills but she pushed me physically and mentally further more than I ever expected to get out of personal training. She guided me through old injuries, my wedding, honeymoon / holidays and now my first photoshoot. She makes sure you get the most out of every single session. I’ll be continuing to work with Abi for the forceable future. I can’t wait to see what the next 7 months will bring

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is a superior gym, compared to your chain style gym. It has a much more personal feel and the staff are extremely helpful, giving you advice on form and ensuring you exercise safely. An overall amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is an amazing gym with a great atmosphere and high quality equipment. The PTs are super knowledgable and always willing to put the most in to help! I've been to seminars as well as spent time training in the gym and I can honestly say it's one of the best gyms I've ever been to, they always put in 110% with everything that they do.

Fantastic experience: I have been a trainer at stanza fitness since the start of the year. I felt at ease from day one in a very welcoming environment for myself and my clients. The gym is very well equipped, for this reason I have not once had to wait around for equipment and I have easily been able to get good variation out of my exercise routines. Great gym Great staff Great environment.

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is a perfectly balanced gym! A training environment for all levels. It's an intimate, well thought out space. Spotlessly clean & full of high quality equipment. But be under no illusions it's the Stanza Team that make it special. Knowledgeable, friendly and always on hand to help or chat. If you find a gym a daunting place I guarantee you'll be made to feel at home here!

Fantastic experience: Great independent gym in the centre of Bath. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and the staff are knowledgable and motivating. I’ve been training with Ben for a couple of years, and he has helped improve my fitness and strength as well as my mobility. He makes a great coffee too!

Fantastic experience: Stanza fitness gym has a great community feel, it's a real gem in the beautiful city of Bath. It has a great atmosphere, and fabulous aesthetics. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable and the equipment is top notch. A perfect place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Ben Clarke at Stanza fitness came highly recommended to me by a friend who is a Physio and from the moment I walked in I felt relaxed and welcome. Ben listened and has acted on the things I wanted to achieve from training. He is super knowledgeable and supportive. The atmosphere in the gym is so friendly and unintimidating. It has a real positivity about it. Spotlessly clean, full of good equipment and a total pleasure to train there. A real credit to the whole team.

Fantastic experience: I'm a relatively new client at Stanza Fitness. From previous experience, I know the value of working with a personal trainer, and in the right environment. For me it's about the accountability, the motivation to progress further, the importance of getting the technique right, and feeling welcome on the gym floor (& not intimidated!). Stanza Fitness, and in particular, Abi, are helping me achieve this! Stanza Fitness have achieved an environment of the highest professionalism, balanced with a warm and welcome approach to any level of person attending their gym. I'm excited to see what we can achieve together over the next few months!

Fantastic experience: I love training my clients at Stanza Fitness and being part of the team. Everyone who works and trains here is so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere isn't like any other gym I've experienced. Anyone and everyone is welcome and the highly knowledgeable coaches are always there to lend a hand or crack a bad joke! They also support other local businesses which I love. Would highly recommend for both personal trainers in need of a space, and people wanting to join the gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many gyms and Stanza is leagues ahead of them all. The staff at Stanza are fantastic and have a genuine desire to help you out and chat with you, so it ends up feeling like more of a club than a gym. I really loved this community feel. As for the gym itself, the facilities are great and although not a huge gym, I very rarely had to wait for someone to finish on a machine or platform - even at "busy" times. I had PT sessions with Carl which I looked forward to every week and found it super motivating to see results. We hit all of my objectives which were to tone up, improve deadlift performance/general strength and improve core strength to reduce back pain. Carl developed a bespoke training plan for me and also adapted it weekly when required. Although I've sadly had to move temporarily for my partner's work and can't be a member for the time being, I know it will be a very easy choice which gym to join when moving back to Bath! I'd highly recommend this gym for people looking for a great place to train, or anyone looking for 1:1 training with the lovely Stanza team!

Fantastic experience: All Gyms may be the same, but the way they are run and staffed are not, Stanza know that all clients are different and so the whole experience needs to be tailored to the individual from the training plans, sessions and even motivation. My personal trainer Ben Clarke was give the brief that his first challenge was to get me in the gym as I had always fallen out of love with every Gym I had ever gone to. He managed it, with great gains in my strength and weight-loss, he found the right level of intensity, the right motivators and took me on a journey that changed my mind completely about fitness, strength and Gyms. The whole team are amazing, always with encouragement, never judgement, I can not rate them highly enough. I cant rate Stanza highly enough, they are a great team not just a Gym!

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is an incredible facility, populated by even more incredible staff. Not only do they have every piece of equipment that you could possibly need, they also have knowledgable, and more importantly, friendly coaches who can help you use it safely and effectively. Having been involved in the fitness industry for 10 years now, I have been to many gyms, and Stanza Fitness is one of the absolute best. After travelling from Australia, it was an absolute pleasure to find that Stanza Fitness could offer everything I was looking for, and more. While my interactions with all staff were pleasant, I must highlight the hospitality of Carl, Ben and Abi in particular. The people of Bath and the surrounding area are extremely fortunate to have Stanza Fitness. I simply cannot wait to get back there again.

Positive experience: Well the only reason I don't rate this gym with 5 stars, is that it has not such a huge variety of equipment, for example it doesn't have a treadmill. It has all the necessary equipment you will need , especially for heavy lifts, like deadlift, squats etc . It is one of the cleanest gym I've ever visited, for real, the guys there clean it all the time. It has great staff , knowledgable & friendly. I would highly recommend it

Fantastic experience: Approachable, motivating and brilliant space to train in the heart of Bath! Experienced trainers, amazing equipment and a non-judgmental approach to fitness. Stanza has changed the way I workout! Thank you Team!

Fantastic experience: Lovely facility right in the centre of Bath with very welcoming and educated staff on hand. You can tell they take a lot of pride not only into what they do as personal trainers but also into the gym itself. Will certainly be visiting again.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Never too crowded, equipment that works and a fabulous team to train with. I've worked with Ben for the last three years and I can honestly say I've achieved more than I ever thought I would!

Fantastic experience: As an elite track and field athlete I have travelled the world and trained at a lot of facilities. Stanza Fitness is one of the best I have been to. A no ego, friendly space with passionate and skilled staff and all the essential equipment. I highly recommend. A great place for all levels of fitness to be apart of.

Fantastic experience: Great people that run Stanza. I’ve worked in many gyms, health clubs and fitness centres and these guys are the friendliest gym owners I ever have worked with. They honestly care about everyone who walks through the door. Very knowledgable about exercise physiology and nutrition. Top people and a top gym .

Fantastic experience: Tried most gyms in Bath and this is by far the best in my opinion. It’s never too crowded, also clean, the staff are super friendly and the equipment always works. The PTs really know there stuff and I couldn’t recommend the gym more!

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is the best gym in Bath!! Run by the most knowledgable team of PT trainers. Always friendly, helpful and supportive. The gym is super clean with the best equipment and rocking tunes! My PT Abi Taylor is amazing and I look forward every session. Shhhhh Don't tell everyone, Staza Fitness is Bath's best kept a secret!

Fantastic experience: Owning my own gym, my standards of what constitutes and elite level facility are extremely high. From the equipment, to the coaches, staff and culture, Stanza Fitness excels in all fronts. There is a reason why the clients and members of Stanza Fitness are smiling. It is because they are in the trusted hands of Bath’s elite, coaches and gym owners who care and who know how to get results without the nonsense.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym. Staff were knowledgeable and the equipment was well kept and Clean. Small snacks for after the workout was nice. Trainers are experienced and able to answer questions. Private showers was a fantastic bonus! Group classes are available as well. Membership is well priced. Definitely Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Stanza is a fantastic gym with such a welcoming (and unique) atmosphere. It is a great place to start training if you are a complete newbie like me or if you are there to improve and develop your ability. Everyone at the gym is very approachable and there is no competition or 'bloke' weights section - everyone is welcome which is what makes it so unique. I have been training with Abi for a year now and she is an incredible PT - she is passionate, motivated and so understanding and offers a tailored approach which means that you are able to achieve and maintain your goals. I would highly recommend Abi and Stanza to anyone and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I came to Stanza based on a friend's recommendation and have not been disappointed. The gym is in a great location, in the centre of Bath, and is well equipped. All the staff are very professional and Ben in particular has really helped me get my motivation back to start exercising regularly again. I feel fitter and have more energy than I've felt in a long time.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic independent Gym in Bath. The trainers are always very friendly & happy to help. They have all the latest equipment & the atmosphere is great. Carl, Ben & Abi are always very welcoming & make sure to know members names. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I chose Carl as a Personal Trainer after reading so many glowing reviews about him and was not disappointed. Not only is he an excellent trainer with vast knowledge and experience, he’s also a really friendly and lovely guy who will make you feel comfortable no matter your fitness level or aims. One thing that can discourage people from training, or gym environments in general, is the fear of not fitting in, or being intimidated by other gym goers who are fitter/stronger. Carl has created a brilliant gym with a great team of people who give it a very inclusive and welcoming atmosphere so you can feel secure and confident. I started training with Carl when I was 5 weeks pregnant as I was really keen to stay as active and healthy as possible and to make sure I exercised safely throughout my pregnancy without overdoing it or injuring myself. It was genuinely the best decision I could’ve made as he really helped me to build my strength and fitness up until the day before I actually gave birth, and I truly credit our work together as ensuring that I stayed healthy both physically and mentally throughout my pregnancy journey. I also think the fitness and stamina I gained help me to have a smooth and enjoyable labour experience, so I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Stanza fitness for around 5 months - I have Abi as my PT who is incredibly knowledgable. I’ve tried most gyms in Bath and this is definitely No 1. It’s a totally new experience. It’s spotless, everyone’s friendly and approachable, has a very good range of equipment and isn’t too crowded. The only gym I have ever truly felt comfortable in. The gym is perfectly located on the centre of town so ideal for me as I work in town daily. Highly recommended! You’d be crazy not to give it ago!

Fantastic experience: Stanza is a brilliant gym. If you don’t like the commercial gym set up, its perfect for you. The atmosphere is relaxed and very welcoming, all the PT’s are approachable and extremely knowledgeable. Number 1 gym in Bath! There’s a reason all the pros train there!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic set up and great location. The staff have fantastic knowledge of the fitness industry and help you every step of the way to achieve your goals. The gym it’s self is very well equipped and has a great vibe too. Locally owned, community feel and everyone is friendly no matter what level of fitness you are this gym caters for all. I came from fitness first and there I felt like I was just a number on a profit margin, now I’m part of something that’s worth every penny I pay for. Thanks Sean

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Stanza Fitness. I am retired and had not set foot in a gym since my school days until I started PT sessions with Ben which I have been having for almost a year. He is an excellent trainer and always very patient and encouraging. There is a friendly atmosphere at the gym which has excellent equipment and a light bright decor. I would encourage anyone who might be reticent about going to a gym to try a PT session at Stanza Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have visited Stanza Fitness on a couple of occasions and have felt extremely welcomed both times. They have built a lovely community down there and you can see the respect that the coaches and the clients have for each other. They have great equipment, the coaches are extremely friendly, passionate and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Stanza gym is well equipped in a great central location with friendly staff welcoming all skill levels. New quality machinery in a clever layout kept immaculately clean, never too crowded. Ben is a great PT; knowledgable, approachable and motivating. Wicked sense of humour with infinite patience. Good vibes created by local, passionate people - always helpful and respectful. Accommodating of wheelchair users and mums with children ❤️

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Bath! Members & Staff are super friendly, very clean and always great music on the go. I had Carl as a PT and he was brilliant: perfect balance of being understanding and pushing me to achieve more. I saw great progress while working with Carl & he has made me feel very comfortable doing exercises I wouldn't have dreamed of doing before my sessions with him. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym & amazing atmosphere!! All the equipment is very well kept & great mix of weights, machines , mats and more. All the facilities are clean & new. They have showers , lockers & a sports therapy room, as well a little kick back coffee area. The PT's at STANZA FITNESS really know their stuff & are so friendly. Carl was my PT at my last session & I would highly recommend him! He is very knowledgeable & so passionate about what he does! My advice would be go & check this modern friendly gym out , run by people who will go out their way to help you enjoy your training experience.

Fantastic experience: I've always been a member of a gym, but I've never been happier than I am at Stanza! The staff (and other members) are so friendly, the gym itself is super clean and modern and the PTs are exceptional. Carl (the owner) took my goals and my personality into account and paired me with Natalie Greene (@thegreenemachine_ on insta). I can't fault Nat at all - she's a fantastic PT who makes everything seem achievable and knew exactly what approach to take with me. Genuinely can't recommend them highly enough... if you're considering joining, just head down there!

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is a genuinely friendly and welcoming gym in the heart of Bath. You very quickly feel that you know the whole team, that they know you and that they understand what you’re trying to achieve in terms of fitness and health. The level of support I get from them and from the amazing Personal Trainer they recommended has been fantastic. I’ve achieved way more than I expected over the past 3 months thanks to their support.

Fantastic experience: Great space! Great team! Always a warm welcome from everyone. I was looking for a gym with a different approach from the "big names" and I don't regret it! It's an amazing gym with great professionals. Love my sessions even the really early ones. Great support and very happy with the amount of learning I got in the last few months. Joining was definitely a good idea and I do recommend =)

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym anywhere!! Firstly, Carl is the most incredible personal trainer you could ask for, really understands the human body and what to do to get you to your goals - he made me fall in love with working out! The gym itself is perfect, new machinery, always spotless, fantastic staff, central location. Couldn't find a better place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with the best atmosphere! It's such a great place for all abilities to improve and develop there skills with a relaxed but motivated environment. Stanza Fitness is a very personal gym with all the coaches willing to help and share there knowledge. I recently moved to bath and began training with Carl, he is so passionate, motivated and inspiring. He has programmed my sessions specific to my goals and motivated me to keep developing my skills and has gaven me my confidence back to time hard and train well!

Fantastic experience: Stanza Fitness is the best gym for me in Bath. Great equipment, good coffee and always a space to train. Carl is what makes the gym special though; he always has time to talk and offers fantastic advice on fitness, lifestyle and nutrition. The gym is well equipped with shower facilities and bag store area. Carl and his team offer an excellent environment to train at your own pace if you wish to workout with your own program. I have had a PT session with both Carl and Abbie and can conform that they are both world class in their approaches respectively. Anyone wanting a boost to their fitness routine or perhaps looking to get in better shape should book in to Stanza Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Where to start! Stanza Fitness is the best gym I have been to. I train with Abi, and she is nothing short of amazing. Always on hand for help, and her training sessions are always hard but extremely satisfying. Carl and the rest of the team are amazing too, they’re all so approachable and friendly. A great, professional set up down there!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Carl for 3 years now - brilliant trainer and a great guy. Don’t expect an easy ride - but do expect real improvement!

Fantastic experience: Whatever your fitness goals are, Carl will be the best trainer to help you, adjusting trainning and nutrition specifically for each individual.

Fantastic experience: Carl has really helped me to improve my strength and fitness and reach my goal weight. He is a brilliant motivator and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Carl has been my PT for more than 4 years now. He helps motivate me to keep fit, as far as a 40-something desk bound bloke can be. He is also one of the nicest people I have ever met! I thoroughly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Carl is a brilliant and understanding PT and he has changed my mindset towards fitness. I have been using Carl’s services for almost a year now and I have seen massive changes. I was a slow 19 stone rugby player moving to a more mobile 17 stone player with my body shape and fitness changing dramatically. His nutrition and training programmes have let me exceed my goals which I thought would never happen. He keeps in touch regularly making sure everything is going to plan and he is always there for advice. I really wish I did this sooner and I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I spent my teenage years training in the same gym as Carl and watching his development as a natural bodybuilder over the years is a massive reason as to why I got in to the sport of bodybuilding. Needless to say, when I decided I wanted to step on stage Carl was the first person I approached about coaching. Even though i'm now based in America, Carl is still my coach as I trust him, I trust his methods, and I know he will always do what's best for his clients/athletes. His passion for the industry is clear to see and like any proper professional, he continues to learn and master his craft. I highly recommend Carl as a trainer or bodybuilding coach!!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Carl for a while now, not only does he motivate and push me during our workout, he is also knowledgeable when it comes to nutritions and healthy living. Carl delivers results, if you follow his plans and put in the work, and his commitment doesn't just stop when your session finishes, he monitors my diet plan, my workout progress and checks in often to see how I'm doing. I can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Carl has been amazing with supporting me with my goals. He set realist nutritional targets and give some great advice on how to achieve them. He has also provided great training sessions and gave tips on how to ensure I am maximising my workouts.

Fantastic experience: I’m not one to usually write many reviews, however my experience with Carl at Stanza Fitness must be highlighted. Being a fairly frequent (but intermittent at times) gym user over the past 15 years, I did struggle with motivation and resolve – but it came to the point whereby I had plateaued and had lost all interest in training. Cue Stanza Fitness…….! Carl has been a breath of fresh air, and I although I have utilised personal training in the past, the experience that I have had with him has been fantastic. His huge depth of knowledge around training plans and nutrition, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm/ passion for supporting his clients is second to none. Even though my plan was online based, Carl has taken time out to meet me for coffee chats and has supported through many late night training questions by text. Whether you are looking for one to one training, or purely online plans, I cannot recommend Stanza Fitness enough.

Fantastic experience: Carl has helped change my mindset on fitness and going to gym. He has helped me find the motivation to push myself to my limits and his PT sessions never disappoint. He has helped me work specifically on my own personal goals as well as improving fitness components that are specific to Netball. I would highly recommend him to anyone for his extensive knowledge and versatility.

Fantastic experience: After having trained and worked at a few different gyms I thought I would try a PT session one more time. I chose Carl and I have never looked back! Carl is an exceptional personal trainer and has taught me almost everything I know training wise. He really tailored the sessions to suit the way I learn and the way I wanted to train according to my goals. He could answer anything I asked him and was always focused on our sessions, wanting to get as much out of it as I did! Carl also designed a bespoke training programme for me during my pregnancy and post partum which really helped keep my strength and fitness up. I Would recommend him to anyone and just like when you find the right hairdresser, ‘why go anywhere else?!’

Fantastic experience: Carl is the best PT I ever had! He is very professional and was always ready to motivate me when I couldn't do it and listen to my needs.Plus answered to my 1000 questions all at once!!. Very positive person that inspired me to get better and push myself. All his sessions were amazing and definitely felt you were working all your muscles efficiently. He's now opened his own gym and looks amazing! definitely a great team and enviroment to train. I highly reccomend Stanza Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Would totally recommend Carl as a personal trainer. He is encouraging, positive and never asks you to do something you can't but always manages to find new challenges and pushes you for that little bit extra. Carl has a 'whole body' approach to health, fitness and nutrition which I have found invaluable. The sessions are always great fun which is an added bonus!

Fantastic experience: Training with Carl is an experience, his professionalism, intensity and commitment combines with his friendly & empathetic nature to create this desire to kill him and shake his hand at the same time. He is simultaneously demanding, encouraging and challenging. In summary it is a pleasure & privilege to train with Carl and I can quite honestly say he has revolutionised my life.

Fantastic experience: Carl is a very professional and knowledgeable coach, especially with nutrition. He is also a friendly and fantastic man. Helped me in 2013/14 with nutrition, fitness and preparing for Bath Half Marathon. I worked with various personal trainers but by far Carl is the best by being outstanding all-round.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Carl for just under a year now, and the results and progress that I’ve made have surpassed all my expectations. As part of his 1-2-1 sessions, Carl offers a highly tailored, individualistic approach, whilst demonstrating his great level of expertise in fitness and nutrition. Since we started training, not only has he provided me with fantastic training programs and diet plans, but also aspires to educate me with the reasoning behind how his programs are set out; for example, why and how certain muscle groups are trained, and what food sources are rich in which nutrients. Rest assured that by choosing Carl, you will be trained by the best of the best.
