Absolute Body Solutions

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently completed my 6 week course with Jen at Manchester and have now signed up for another 12 weeks! Jen has been absolutely amazing since day 1, constantly supporting and motivating me to help achieve my fitness goals. As someone who was entirely new to weight training I was initially apprehensive about what to expect but Jen made me feel immediately at ease and has been incredibly encouraging throughout the whole process. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is interested in starting their own ABS journey!

Fantastic experience: Abs has truly transformed my life - especially thanks to Jen. I owe this incredible lady my new body, newfound confidence, and a much more positive outlook on life as a whole. She helped me build lasting habits and rediscover happiness within myself. Not only has she inspired and motivated me throughout the journey - helping me go from a size 14 to a size 10 (nearly 8!) over 5 months - but my mindset and relationship with food, fun, and life as a whole have changed for good. It’s not just about the gym, the mental benefits are equally profound.
I look forward to every session at Abs. They push you, but they’re always fun, and we share a lot of laughs. The results speak for themselves. The best part is I didn’t have to cut anything out of my lifestyle - just make small swaps - which made the process sustainable. If you’re hesitant, like I was at first - just go for it! I can’t imagine where I’d be if I hadn’t taken the plunge, and it’s genuinely changed me forever. 
When you start seeing those results, there’s no BETTER feeling in the world and there’s nothing more inspiring. Jen has been nothing short of incredible - a true superstar. I highly recommend committing to the long term process rather than seeking a quick transformation if you have the time. This way, you build sustainable habits and lasting results. Rome wasn’t built in a night but trust me it’s achievable!

Fantastic experience: I recently finished training at ABS Manchester with Lewis, I started on a 12 week program with sessions twice a week and during this time I saw amazing results which made me not want to leave, I learnt a lot about nutrition and how to do exercises correctly, I would 100% recommend ABS as I enjoyed every session and Lewis was a wonderful PT

Fantastic experience: Just completed my 12 weeks at ABS Manchester with Jen, she has been so supportive and its been so fun to work with her. Having not been to gym before I can now take everything I've learnt and apply it even after the 12 weeks so I can definitely say this has helped me in the long run with my fitness journey and i've seen amazing progress in my strength and confidence aswell! Very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend both ABS and Jen as a trainer!

Fantastic experience: I started a 12 week programme with the aim to improve my general fitness and help with some particular injuries I have. I’m just over half way through and I’ve been very pleased with the results so far. My trainer Julia has been excellent at supporting and pushing me to see real substantial improvement in such a short period of time. I look forward to our sessions every week! I’m learning a lot and feeling better in my day to day life. My experience with ABS in general has been great. Good location, clean, well maintained equipment and good scheduling means you can train in a comfortable environment. All my interactions with other trainers have been really positive too, I don’t think you go wrong! Update: I no longer have sessions here but not for any reason to do with ABS or the trainers, they remained excellent. After this review I began training with Josh B after Julia left and he was excellent too - I really enjoyed my sessions with him!

Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone!!! My PT was Jen and not only was she a ray of sunshine she made every gym session fun AND got results. It’s completely changed my life not only physically but mentally too and is the best thing I’ve ever done! Loved it & can’t wait to come back in the future!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed my 6 week course with Jen at Manchester she has been incredibly supportive and motivating, consistently pushing me to achieve my fitness goals. I’m very happy with the way I’m looking now. Her dedication and encouragement have truly elevated my training experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a committed and inspiring trainer! Thank you Jen here goes another 6 weeks!!! I’m truly shocked by how far I’ve come considering I hadn’t stepped foot in a gym!!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Josh on the 16 week programme and I am so happy with my results ahead of my wedding! Josh is a great PT and really energetic! I had zero weight lifting experience and he taught me how to lift properly and use each piece of gym equipment, I looked forward to all my sessions and would highly recommend ABS! Thanks Josh! :D

Fantastic experience: i joined ABS in a 16 week programme as i badly needed to get in shape ,i looked at a few places and ABS looked like the perfect fit for me +i wasn’t wrong.i got paired with Lewis who i hit it off with straight away ,the programme he put me through was tough ,i would say the first couple of weeks were the hardest …ive been going to the gym for years but Lewis was soon to correct me in all the exercises i was doing completely wrong ,even a slight movement i was doing wrong ,i did struggle a bit but with Lewis’s patience and perseverance he got in my head with demonstrating and explaining in an easy way .ive had trainers in the past but with Lewis it’s a different level .the diet was gonna be the hardest part for me,i work for a airline so i’m away on longhaul a lot and staying in hotels where room service menues and all inclusive aint the best when you’re trying to get in shape ,the diet was great though,there’s alot in it ,i was never starving and there’s lots of healthy snacks and treats .i did struggle on flights but Lewis gave me options .i’d also send him pictures of the room service menu and he would message back straight away advising me what to pick and choose ,this helped loads and kept me on track also not every hotel has amazing gyms so i’d let him know what equipment there was and he would modify exercises for me .this is exactly the type of trainer i needed.ive lost a stone in weight in 16weeks and i’m feeling great ,im keeping the training going with Lewis for the forseable .ABS is a great personable gym ,extremely friendly with great equipment +from what i have observed all the trainers are at the highest level and getting amazing results with their clients ..all i would say if you’re serious about getting in shape this is the place to get you there

Fantastic experience: Training at ABS has been an excellent experience. I've been training with Josh, a PT at the Manchester gym, and he's a really positive trainer, helped me lose weight and build muscle through a personalised training programme. He's also helped me change my diet completely, which has helped me understand the right foods and portions to eat and drink. After the 16 week program, I'm really pleased with the results and look forward to continuing my training with Josh, and see how far I can progress. The Manchester gym itself is a really nice atmosphere, loads of windows for natural light, very clean with top of the line equipment and facilities. With only a few people training at a time, it feels like your own personal gym. All the staff are friendly and inviting, so makes for a really nice space to train in.

Fantastic experience: It’s difficult to summarise the extent to which ABS Manchester, and its trainers, deserve high praise. Apologies in advance for the wordy ‘thank you’ below – but it has to be said! I signed up for a 6-week programme, hoping to get some guidance and a steer on how best to train. Seven months later, ABS felt like my second home – in the best of ways! I want to particularly express how that is entirely down to the work of Josh. Josh is an absolute credit to ABS as a company, to the Manchester branch, and to himself. His professional commitment, combined with what is clearly a comprehensive understanding of the science behind effective training, is highly commendable. But the element to training with Josh, that sets him apart from trainers in other gyms, is that he truly pays attention to the ‘personal’ aspect of personal training. Josh went above and beyond to accommodate to my needs as his client, factoring in aspects of my mental/emotional wellbeing, work commitments, limited availability – all whilst still keeping me on track with a manageable training programme, and producing undeniable results. Despite a bit (a lot!) of dramatic complaining from me over the months that I trained with him, sore legs blah blah, every session was truly a pleasure, and the minutes during any session flew by - on any day when I didn’t have a session booked in, I wished that I was training. Josh was always available to guide me, when it came to training, but also my nutrition/lifestyle habits and mental approach. I never felt as though I was going it alone, as Josh was there to support me at every step - his belief in me was constant. Despite commitments outside of the gym, and any mental hurdles I faced, I think I only ever missed one session with Josh ever, and that is entirely down to his ability to keep his clients motivated, focused and driven. I have seen Josh training other clients whilst I wait for my session to start and it is clear that he does this for everyone that he trains with – his approach to motivating and training each client is clearly tailored to their individual needs, no two clients are treated the same, which is a rare and valuable quality to find in a trainer. The other trainers in the gym don’t go unnoticed – despite Josh being my trainer, the likes of Adam, Haydon and Lewis were a massive part of my time at ABS. Each of them have all added to my progress on at least one occasion – whether it was with a friendly chat whilst I waited for a session to start, or comparing protein powder flavours, or celebrating with me as I was hitting progress targets - each of them added to the admiration I have for the team at ABS Manchester, and the enjoyable culture they have created between them. The gym is always clean, well maintained and the equipment ticks every need. Even the music they play isn’t half bad. It exceeded every single one of my expectations. My experience of training with Josh has changed everything about my life going forward – it has transformed my mindset and outlook, emotional wellbeing, physicality and mobility, nutrition – even my sleeping pattern! And on top of all that, the results are second to none. I don’t think you could ask for anything more from a gym experience and I would recommend this gym to absolutely everyone and anyone that I know. I’ll never be able to thank Josh, or the ABS Manchester team as a whole, enough.

Fantastic experience: Just completed a 16-week transformation with PT Lewis in Manchester. As a complete beginner with questionable burrito diet, Lewis helped me get my diet dialed in and provided exercises that were tough but not impossible. The facilities were fit for purpose and Lewis was flexible with the scheduling, allowing me to fit around my job. Absolutely chuffed with the results, life changing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Im in my 50s and got to a point where I wasn’t liking what I saw in the mirror so just completed my 16wk fitness and food program . I started with fat stripping then went into muscle building with LEWIS . I can say I’m over the moon with my progress so much so I’m continuing with Lewis to improve on my results . As a trainer he’s been amazing working with my strengths and weaknesses to improve my overall body and fitness regime . I feel a lot more fitter stronger and healthier

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my 6 weeks training and I have say I'm quite pleased with the results, so I decided to keep training with ABS for other 12 weeks. Lewis, my trainer is always available to discuss my concerns or any type of issue with my training/diet. The training is quite hard but really rewarding at the same time. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Haydon is the best 10/10 I would recommend everyone to ABS without a doubt!!!!

Fantastic experience: I’m in my forties and I’ve never really set foot in a gym before. My aim was more to lose weight rather than get ‘ripped’ . I contacted ABS and Wayne kindly spent a lot of time on the phone with me discussing my concerns about joining (I had some niggling medical issues). He put my mind at ease and I was introduced to Lewis as my trainer for an initial 12 week period. Lewis was fantastic with me - friendly, patient, informative without being critical, and he did a brilliant job. He provided me with a detailed food plan which was simple to follow. His instruction has given me confidence in both my own body and my ability to go into a gym on my own. He was also wary of my pre-existing injuries and developed sessions around those. During the 12 weeks Lewis was always in touch to confirm appointment times and was happy to help if I had any questions during the week. I enjoyed the sessions and there was a massive positive difference in how I felt after the last session compared to how I’d felt at the start. I decided to do an extra few sessions at the end of the 12 weeks as I didn’t really want to stop! I dropped around 10kg in the end which was exactly what I’d wanted to achieve. The only downside is that I now have to buy a new wardrobe’s worth of clothes as my current ones are too big. I would recommend ABS to anyone. Lewis was great and obviously I’d recommend him but all the other trainers at the gym were really friendly and welcoming so you can’t really go wrong. Best decision I ever made.

Fantastic experience: I have been trainning under the excellent guidance by my personal trainer Josh, and I am very happy with my training. I would like to continue training with him in the future.

Fantastic experience: Haydon was a brilliant PT helped me and my girlfriend get back into it. Certainly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great PT gym!

Fantastic experience: Great experience

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Julia for nearly 6 weeks and really enjoyed it so far! We have seen great results and have learnt so much. Julia is always on hand if we have any queries and is flexible if we need to change the meal plan to accommodate things we have planned. Thank you Julia!

Fantastic experience: I chose the 6 wk programme. I have Absolutely Loved My Fitness Journey with Josh. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He has constantly motivated and supported me to achieve Amazing Results! Thankyou so much Josh.

Fantastic experience: Worth every penny. I was having weight issues which really knocked my confidence and self-motivation. I couldn't get myself motivated to go to the gym, to wake up on time, or to eat in moderation. In all honesty I was skeptical that getting a PT would even make a difference in my ability to self-motivate. But after seeing my results at the halfway point now - 6 weeks in - I can honestly say I've never looked or felt better in my life. Haydon has been instrumental in this - constantly pushing me to go past my limits - limits I never knew I had. His belief in what I could achieve has truly opened my eyes to what is possible. More than anything, he's helped me battle and beat some mental blocks, he's shown me how much of it is just in my head and I'm genuinely astounded at how far my (once non-existent) endurance has come. Haydon has demonstrated to me what is possible by applying his expertise and knowledge every step of the way. Making micro adjustments on my posture during workouts, ensuring maximum results. Once I realised I was in good hands, I just committed to his advice, his pointers and his suggestions and I'll tell you now - having friends and family constantly complimenting your weight loss and how good you're looking is just the best feeling. Beyond just my physical appearance, the gruelling work and massive progress at ABS has truly helped reshape my mindset, as I feel more confident in my ability to achieve my other goals. I think seeing the quick results in and of itself is a huge motivator so thank you ABS & Haydon for showing me the pathway to a better me. Can't wait for the next 6 weeks of workouts, excited to see what Haydon has in store for me.

Fantastic experience: Joining ABS is the best decision I've ever made! My PT, Julia, is amazing! She pushes me to my limits every session but she also knows, and appreciates, what motivates me. Outside of PT sessions the personal meal plan and communication is a game changer.

Fantastic experience: Having just completed a 12-week programme with Abi and Lewis at ABS in Manchester i feel much more confident in myself and going to the gym is actually enjoyable and not scary! It was a great experience and i'd recommend it to anyone who wants tio kickstart their fitness journey

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at ABS now for a few months and my only regret is that I didn’t join sooner. The results I’ve seen in such a short time have really exceeded any expectations I had. It's a great environment and everyone is very welcoming. I look forward to training at ABS long term. Training with Lizzie has genuinely become a highlight of my week. She has been incredibly motivating, pushing me to do more than I realised I could and her attention to form has been incredibly helpful. When I first started there were a number of exercises I struggled with and following Lizzie’s advice and variations on these has helped me see big improvements that have given me a real confidence boost. I look forward to reaching more milestones here in the future. I would highly recommend, it’s been a great experience.

Fantastic experience: My first time. Haven't been in a gym for 40 years and never with a trainer. Lovely clean gym, friendly motivational trainers. Mine (Chris) is the manager and head trainer and he knows his stuff. I know I'm going to ache tomorrow but it will be worth it if I can improve my strength and mobility not to mention lose weight. Had a comprehensive chat about goals, nutrition and what to expect beforehand. Left feeling confident with a meal plan and knowing my trainer is there to help me. 9 weeks later I have lost weight, gained muscle, groaned and giggled a lot. My confidence has grown and I am delighted with my results: as a type 2 diabetic my AC1 has dropped from 56 to 47. 1 point from being pre-diabetic. Thanks to my trainer, 'Chris' for keeping me going, encouraging me when I struggle and giving me the food plan that works for me. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I just finished 6-week milestone with my partner as a couple program with Haydon and am absolutely stunned by the results. Never really been an active person, and never been on a diet my whole life, so I thought this program will be unsustainable long term for me. However, the meal plan provided has a lot of flexibility built in it that it was definitely sustainable. We included cheat day here and there, and still managed to get a good result. Would really recommend anyone who's looking to get fit, or like me, just looking to get some exercise in and become a bit healthier. Mentally and energy-wise, I also feel like I have more energy and more stable. Money and time worth spent! Haydon is very friendly, chill, flexible and reliable so it's good knowing that we're in good hands.

Fantastic experience: Coming out of the 6-week transformation with PT Lewis feeling so much better about myself both physically and mentally. Prior to the programme I had struggled to find both an effective motivational and habitual life change that worked for me. I couldn’t seem to get over my severe sports injury and saw the kilos of weight gain creep up every month after, with declining mobility and wasting strength. As someone who relies on accountability to get going (and for that reason had relied on team sports for motivation to this point) having the support and guidance of a PT just worked for me. Having pre-planned sessions and a meal plan devised for me made just focussing on turning up and working hard for 45 minutes 3 times a week really manageable for the level of results achieved. We worked on my weaknesses to get my mobility back and put my weight gain in reverse. Being able to see the positive results coming in a healthy way every week was a great mood booster and just keeps the motivation rolling forward. There is much added value to the transformation, from learning about diet to how to use weights/gym equipment properly, confidently and to your personal best advantage. I had complete faith in Lewis to guide my progress and persevere with me improving my balance and form each week. I know I could have never pushed myself to the same intensity without his friendly ushering into the next exercise when I was feeling the burn and catching my breath. Post-transformation I am still losing weight and maintaining my nutrition as the meal plan continues to be something I enjoy using. I can’t wait to come back for another set of weeks to learn and improve even more in the future. The gym was always spotless, friendly and never overcrowded even after work hours.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Haydon at ABS for 8 months and can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Could not imagine life without it now! Sessions are well structured and you always know that you’ve got the most you possibly could out of them. Both the training and nutrition are personally crafted to you and the PTs are always on hand for guidance and questions. The results speak for themselves! The gym itself has everything you could ever need and is such a friendly, welcoming environment - even for someone with little to no gym experience. The PT team are fully committed to getting you results and it feels like a real team effort. Would 100% recommend ABS to anyone whatever your goals!

Fantastic experience: I’m past the half way point in my 12 week programme with Josh after signing up to help with my confidence, self motivation and general fitness in the gym. Josh has been amazing at keeping me motivated and pushing me to achieve the goals I want. I never thought I’d have the ability to use such heavy weights, and for my limit to keep on increasing.The progress I’ve seen in my fitness and strength has left me feeling much better about myself. Josh has been fabulous to train with, he always brings such an amazing energy to the sessions and makes me believe that I can do whatever he throws at me

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with ABS for 6 weeks, my goal was to get stronger mainly and to create a good relationship with fitness and nutrition. My Trainer Julia did not only get me exactly where I wanted to be physically, she made every session so much fun, made me push myself to my limits and provided constructive feedback and information about the nutritional aspect. I’ve come out of these 6 weeks feeling my best self, having gained so much confidence and will continue to nurture my relationship with fitness. I happily recommend ABS to anyone who wants to achieve a personal fitness goal, as they are guaranteed to be fulfilled!

Fantastic experience: We have just completed our first 6 week program with PT Josh at ABS in Manchester and we have loved every minute. We decided to train as a couple and were unsure how he would be able to match the exercises in a single session for our differing strength and abilities, but it has been perfect. The sessions have been extremely challenging but also really enjoyable. Josh is really motivating and knowledgeable and constantly working with us not just to work us hard, but to ensure we are improving form and getting the most out of every rep. He also supported with meal plans and Macros and very much understood the balance of working hard and living a little, so the whole program felt really manageable. We are so pleased with the results in just 6 weeks and have immediately signed up for another 6 weeks and I am sure this won't be the last! Its a really welcoming environment with a mixture of all ages and abilities in attendance, it is also only private sessions so no waiting for machines or feeling intimidated by an overly busy gym. I would highly recommend giving ABS (and Josh) a go!

Fantastic experience: I’ve chosen the 6 weeks program they offer in ABS, I’ve never been to a gym before so I wanted this to push me to finally start and not be scared. My goal was to build some muscle and get stronger but mainly to show me that there is nothing to be scared of . My trainer was Julia, and i could not asked for a better person. She was patient and explained everything perfectly. Pushed me to my limits and showed my what is my body capable of and that I should never give up. After I finish my 6 week program I felt better than ever. I fall in love with fitness and will continue my journey. I recommend ABS to anyone who wants start achieve their fitness goal. This is the right place to go to and you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, a beautiful environment.

Fantastic experience: I completed a 6 week programme in Manchester and it was brilliant. I had 0 confidence of training in a gym and I was welcomed with open arms by all the staff. Starting a new programme ASAP.

Fantastic experience: Although I train at ABS Liverpool, I have visited the Manchester city centre gym and the team are equally as friendly and supportive and the space is some of the best in Manchester. Great atmosphere and so easy to get to from across the city.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Haydon for just over a month and the results are amazing. My goal was to decrease my body fat and increase my muscle mass, and I ended up dropping 6.7lbs and 4.5% body fat, as well as gaining 1.3lbs of lean muscle mass and I couldn’t be happier

Fantastic experience: Training with Haydon has been great. I’ve felt supported throughout and constantly pushed to achieve my best. Creating a vegan meal plan for me was no trouble at all and it’s been really easy stick to. Would higher recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a personalised one-to-one training gym, let Absolute Body Solutions be the one. It is simply the best gym in Manchester. At the age of 59, I was out of shape, self conscious of my body image and apprehensive of joining a gym. Whilst I knew I had to reduce body fat and somehow build muscle, I equally knew, I couldn’t do it all by myself. I needed a qualified personal trainer to hold me to account. Absolute Body Solutions provided me a tailored and personalised resistance training programme underpinned by an nutrition plan. Through my dedication and hard work the facts speak for themselves : *My body fat reduced to 27.3% from 34.6% Lost 6748 grams in fat Gained 1004 grams in muscle Visceral fat metric : Before I started the programme it was 153 (over 160 is considered dangerous for health), it is currently 108. *All the measurements were in independently assessed by a separate organisation with no connection to Absolute Body Solutions. Whilst I put in the effort for each session (a pre-requisite in my opinion), I could not have achieved my results without the professionalism and coaching of Chris (my personal trainer). His attention to detail relating to the different types of resistance exercises I undertook, the level of intensity, volume and how he motivated me was top class. As the client, I trusted Chris’ professional judgement one hundred percent. As the weeks progressed, I began to see the differences in my body. Each week, I felt more confident on how I looked and felt inside. I also became more motivated to exercise. My eating behaviours changed as did my outlook to my health in general. My body has now transformed. I still have a long way to go (it is work in progress) but Chris has given me the road map to continue on my health journey. As a client, Absolute Body Solutions always put me first. The culture is friendly and professional. All the personal trainers are of high quality. Unlike other personal trainers I used previously throughout the years, Chris gave me his undivided attention as soon as I walked through the door, until the time I left the gym. Every minute, every second of each session was focused on me. As a complete novice to resistance training, not only did Chris put me at ease but he also put my safety first when undertaking all the different exercises. After 24 weeks, I have smashed every goal I set. I could not ask for any more than what I have achieved. I am now on a fitness journey for life thanks to Chris and Absolute Body Solutions.

Fantastic experience: Julia was amazing, she really motivated and pushed me to perform my absolute best. Even in my short time with her I achieved amazing results and this wouldn’t have been done without her! The whole team are so welcoming, I couldn’t recommend ABS enough ☺️

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Adam for 6 months now and achieved incredible results in that time. The whole facility is spotless and spacious which was reassuring during the height of the pandemic. Adam is very motivating and knows when to push you to your limits. I've recommended ABS to all of my friends and family!

Fantastic experience: Get ready to work hard and become the best, healthiest version of you. I have been training with Absolute body solutions for 32 weeks. I'm in the best shape I have ever been. Chris a top tier trainer at the GYM has worked with me, my diet requirements and energy output to squeeze every bit of performance from me and I'm proud to be training with Chris. I have successfully dropped 10.5kg of weight, 12.1% of bodyfat, all while gaining 2.2kg of muscle. All this while maintaining a plant-based diet My journey is not finished yet, I'll continue training, to maintain my improved healthier self. If it's weight loss or muscle gain your seeking, absolute body solutions will get you there.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend ABS, training with Lizzie is always so much fun and her attention to detail especially on form and meal planning has really accelerated my progress! The results over the past 6 months have been amazing and I am looking forward to training with her long term as I cannot imagine my week without the sessions!

Fantastic experience: I came to ABS after a lot of research into local gyms and trainers because I’d had the experience of feeling anxious in gyms before, including with their PTs. It was completely the right choice. Just from my consultation they were welcoming, supportive and I knew from first impressions that they knew what they were talking about. Lizzie in particular is amazing, she has me laughing and has always been encouraging and supportive in every session. She put together a meal plan which allowed me to have things that I enjoyed and suggested things that I could do outside of the gym on my non-training days. When I was getting bloated from stress she also went above and beyond by looking into and recommending probiotics that could help me out. I know that when I come in she’s got my workouts planned and I’ll enjoy them so I always look forward to them - I’ve signed up for another 12 weeks! For personal training, you need to go to ABS. For someone who was never athletic before, I feel much fitter and stronger and have really enjoyed the process! Thank you Lizzie!

Fantastic experience: There is not one thing I can fault about Absolute Body Solutions. I came to them with a recurring injury. For my first session my PT Chris (highly recommend) took me through multiple exercises to examine the areas he felt we needed to work on. Straight away I was set up with a diet and exercise plan to start to get my strength back. Throughout the three months I’ve seen a massive improvement which is all thanks to Chris for his hard work and effort, working sessions around times that suited me. Overall a really welcoming and supportive team! I am hoping to carry on my training with Absolute Body Solutions as it’s clear they care about the well being of every client :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Haydon at ABS for 3 months now and I can wholeheartedly say making the decision to work with him is one of the best choices I’ve ever made!! The programme pushes you to be physically stronger but it’s also been incredible to see how far you can push yourself mentally and the support from Haydon has been truly first class. Everyone is so welcoming and as someone who’s never looked forward to the gym, my sessions are now genuinely one of the favourite parts of my week. I can’t thank Haydon enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone and inspiring me to be better. Would reccomend this place to anyone I know!

Fantastic experience: I originally started at ABS on a 12 week transformation plan but I couldn't bring myself to stop after that because I was so happy with the results. Lizzie is a brilliant trainer! She squeezes every last bit of effort out of me, coaching my form on every rep and pushing me to my limit each session - all with a smile. She puts a lot of thought into structuring my training and diet - tailoring it to get my desired results, which makes the whole experience so simple. Safe to say that I'm in the best shape of my life and look forward to each session, even when I know I wont be able to stand up afterwards. Aside from training with Lizzie, all of the other trainers are incredibly welcoming and the gym is superb. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to train with Lizzie for the past few months at ABS and I could not be happier. Our sessions are always the highlight of my week - she's super motivating and always pushes me to give it my all. I definitely plan on training with her over the long term so that I can continue to hit new milestones. All the other trainers at ABS Manchester are super nice and welcoming - I've had a great experience!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Chris at ABS for 6 weeks and couldn't be happier with the results. The hard work asked of you is more than matched by Chris' enthusiasm, expertise and willingness to help in achieving the outcome you want. The gym environment is extremely welcoming and the team and are all very friendly. Looking forward to the next six weeks and working through what Chris has planned.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6-week programme at ABS with Lizzie as my personal trainer. Before the programme I had barely even set foot in a gym, Lizzie worked amazingly hard to build my confidence and motivation, she was incredibly supportive and friendly, she checked in with me on days we weren’t training and designed tailored meal plans to suit my vegetarian diet and very busy lifestyle! It was a huge challenge and a lot of hard work but I saw hugely positive results not only physically, but mentally aswell! I would definitely recommend ABS to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at ABS for several months and have really enjoyed the experience. The gym is spacious and all the trainers are always friendly and welcoming. Training with Lizzie has been great, she is always motivating me to get the most out of every workout and she is very helpful when working on form. The sessions are the highlight of my day! I’ve seen huge results in my fitness in such a short period and plan to train at ABS long term. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time training with Lizzie at ABS! I came to ABS wanting to improve my fitness and learn how to use weights so that I’d have the confidence to go to the gym alone. Lizzie helped me achieve those goals and has taught me so much (I also had a lot of fun in the process!) Chris, Wayne and the rest of the team are all so friendly and welcoming too. I’d highly recommend ABS to anyone looking for a bespoke PT in Manchester. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: ABS delivers! They believe in you and push you to achieve your goals. They do it professionally and with a shared belief that if you succeed, they do too.

Fantastic experience: A pleasure to work with. Knowledgeable & understanding.

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak more positively about this place. My approach to mindset, training and diet has been drastically improved but most of all, my confidence. The reality is, it’s a team effort. The team will put 100% effort in to support you but you need to give 100% back to be successful with your goal. Whatever level you’re coming in at, this is a perfect place to reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with top trainers (Chris in particular), equipment is top of the range, the exercise and diet plans are a different level to the competition but more than anything there is a really welcoming atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I trained at ABS with Chris for a 6 weeks. I got fantastic results in the time. Chris was very motivational and I really enjoyed the training sessions with him.

Fantastic experience: I could not believe my transformation with ABS. 14kg on the 12 weeks program and I’m in the best shape of my life. Huge thanks to Adam for getting us through, a real asset to the ABS team

Fantastic experience: Fab gym and staff - can't recommend them highly enough! Felt incredible when I finished one of their programmes, felt energised, healthy and in the best shape of my life - would most certainly tell my friends about these guys!

Fantastic experience: I started at ABS on a 6 week plan with Adam and decided to extend this after getting such great results! There is a friendly atmosphere in the gym and I always look forward to my sessions, I can't wait to continue in the new year as I know I will be supported to make even more progress.

Fantastic experience: Being a complete beginner at training ABS and my PT chris have provided a fantastic service and made something that seemed daunting more accesible and striaght forward, while also fitting around my lifestyle. The 12week program has been one of thr best things ive committed to in years. Cant recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for personal training with gym that offers a great atmosphere and motivation for working out then ABS got you covered. Ive compleated the 12 week weight-loss programme with Adam and managed to loose 13kg in total.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Chris at ABS enough. The third week of my training I got diagnosed with a disease which makes losing weight extremely difficult. Chris was by my side every step of the way and I was able to reach out to him anytime I needed. We worked together as a team using trial and error to try and workout what foods worked for me - I went from someone who ate everything to being diagnosed with something meaning I was now gluten free, low carb and virtually dairy free - it was hard!!! This meant finding foods was hard that then tasted good too but we got there in the end! Hurrah. After my vacay I’m straight back in with Chris using the foods that work for me to make me even stronger and also get me towards my own body goals as well as accepting life will be a little different moving forwards They may be expensive but you really do get what you paid for - amazing PT, clean surroundings, constant communication - personally I can’t fault ABS Oh and 45 minutes per session is plenty because you’ve been pushed to your limit in that time Thank you Chris my empath bro xx

Fantastic experience: Have been going to ABS on and off this year (due to the pandemic) but have seen great results. All the staff are lovely and know how to get results depending on what your situation is and what you want to focus on. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Initially started at ABS on a six week program in August, was so impressed with the results that I upgraded to the 16 week. Have never looked or felt better. Fantastic place to train. Thanks to Adam for keeping me focused on my goal and motivated. Definitely going to be staying on.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend ABS gym enough, amazing gym with positive vibes all over the place, amazing trainers, everybody's welcoming and friendly I signed up for  the 16 weeks weight loss program with Adam, I can't thank him enough, he's got a way of keeping me focused on my goals, always motivating me and pushing me to get the best out of me each session. I achieved a really good results with him, and still we're not done yet

Fantastic experience: Started training at ABS Manchester with my girlfriend a couple of months ago, and despite the lockdown we have seen fantastic results. The facility is immaculate and the equipment in great condition. Special mention to our trainer Simon who has been fantastic throughout. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Started at ABS manchester on a 12 week course, first and foremost the gym and facilities are always in immmaculate condition; with equipment wiped down after every use. I started training with Adam and its the best decison I made with regards to my goals. Adams' attention to detail when training is second to none; from ensuring your posture is correct, to islolating the muscle group to achieve maximum results. I had no idea around nutrition prior to joining ABS and Adam not only creates a meal plan that is effective but also ensures its sustainable and is personalised for you, can't thank him enough. Highly recommend ABS for your fitness goals, always a postive and friendly atmosphere with some good banter and an even better workout

Fantastic experience: I have been training at ABS for around a year now with Chris. My original intention was to join for 16 weeks but the training, direction and nutritional plans are excellent so decided to continue. I have seen good results in this time. Would highly recommend Chris but I am sure all the trainers are good.

Fantastic experience: I did an 8 week Transformation programme at ABS and I couldn’t of been any happier with my end results . My PT was Adam and honestly I couldn’t of been given a better guy . He was very professional but friendly at the same time , good banter whilst also pushing you to limit ensuring you got the results. The team always went the extra mile , giving advice on food and diet . Would give more stars if I could . Highly recommend ABS and Adam , to anyone looking for a serious transformation.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at ABS for 4 weeks and have already noticed a massive change in my body. The gym is immaculate and has great facilities. My personal trainer Adam is so encouraging and professional. He is extremely supportive with every aspect of the programme I can’t recommend him enough, I will definitely be going back to ABS in the future.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend ABS highly enough! I have only been training with Adam for four weeks and can already see a huge difference in my body! Adam is so supportive, encouraging and is always on hand if you’ve got any questions or need some help or motivation with your plans. The gym itself has a great range of equipment and is always a friendly environment and a great place to train! Georgie

Fantastic experience: Just finished a 12 week program with Chris at the Manchester gym, honestly can’t believe how much he has helped me achieve. Before starting the program I had never been to a gym before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Chris was so reassuring and knowledgeable by the end of the program I’m not only in the best shape of my life so far! I feel so confident going into a gym and actually knowing what I am doing. I would recommend Chris and the gym to anyone who is looking to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: Have trained with several trainers over the last 2 decades in a number of countries. Chris by far is the top of the tree. He managed to push me to the point where I couldn’t continue but at the same time wanted to come back for more. Have been with him for 6 weeks at ABS and it’s probably been the most productive 6 weeks I’ve ever had in the gym (and I’m a regular 5 days a week gym goer). It is a premium service, but if you have a specific target in mind, are prepared to put the effort in, you won’t find a better training outfit out there. They really take pride in their work and as well as the training side of it, are hugely clued up on the nutrition aspect of the program. It’s like having a PT on call, as any questions regarding food/lifestyle adjustment you have at any time of the day, Chris makes himself available. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking at getting to their required fitness targets, and will be coming back again once I’m back in Manchester. Absolutely superb.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend ABS enough. I did 12 weeks between lockdowns and not only have I lost weight and visibly look leaner and feel stronger but my outlook on nutrition and fitness has changed for the better. I’ve loved the results and the training so much that I’m going back when they reopen. I worked with Adam who is really knowledgeable, the workouts are tough but he made them enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my 6 week course with Chris! It was great. Really enjoyed it! Chris is a fantastic trainer, he has a very strong knowledge when it comes to fitness and nutrition. He really listens to what your individual goals are and follows through with helping you achieve them. I wanted to tone up and increase my energy levels which I have definitely done! Chris worked me hard but is very motivational in his approach. I especially liked the way he was able to shake things up when it came to exercises so the training was always fresh and creative and never became boring. I would highly recommend Absolute Body Solutions for anyone who wants to improve their body and especially Chris the trainer as he’s been great throughout! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: After months of speaking with couple of personal trainer gyms, me and my partner decided to go ahead and sign up with ABS and its been absolute pleasure working with our PT Chris. He is been so brilliant in training us both and keep us motivated every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Chris and ABS anyone who is looking for PT in Manchester.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend ABS. As someone who was not into fitness at all, I am really pleased with the results. My trainer is great at motivating me and pushing me to get great results! Thanks ABS!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend my Personal Trainer Chris - enough. From the outset, his motivation, encouragement, passion, patience and dedication drove me to achieve results over the past 6 months that I never could have imagined. He is a credit to his profession. Thank you to the team in general. Location, gym facilities, range of equipment, space to train properly, atmosphere - top class!

Fantastic experience: I've just completed the 6 week programme at ABS, which has given me so much more confidence and motivation with my training. The facilities are great, and Christina has been amazing - she's always been able to get the best out of me each session. It's a welcoming and professional atmosphere to train in, and being a private gym is never busy. I've loved the structure having three sessions a week has given me, and I always left each one feeling like I had worked hard and improved. I've learnt correct techniques, mastered some new exercises, and feel stronger and fitter than ever before. I will definitely be back when I'm home from my travels. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic experience: I started with a 6 week programme with ABS Manchester, and enjoyed it so much that I have started another 6 week programme! From my first contact with ABS, Wayne was a pleasure to deal with - giving me a great tour of facilities and asking me relevant questions to understand my goals. Wayne has continued to be really helpful and friendly throughout my journey so far. I train with Josh, and he has been absolutely great! I was diagnosed with knee arthritis (at 34!) and had lost my confidence in exercising, not knowing if I was doing more harm than good at times. Josh has helped me build my strength back up, and increase my confidence, whilst still taking into consideration my limitations. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explains to me the exercises, why we are doing them and what we are aiming to achieve, which greatly helps my own understanding. I would recommend ABS to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I signed up with ABS not really knowing what to expect, although I had read reviews. However, even before my consultation session had finished, I knew for sure it was something I was going to do. I truly believe that first impressions are a lasting one and Wayne (the gentleman I had my consultation session with) really made me feel at ease, was very friendly and was only too happy to answer any and all the questions I had. The one thing that sticks out in my mind was Wayne saying with confidence that I would notice a difference within 2 weeks…… and I did. In fact after the first week, I definitely noticed a difference which made me even more determined to see this through. The meal plan was easy to follow, the training……well, I have to say was hard, BUT I enjoyed them – I would never have said that those 2 words could compliment each other, but in this case they did . After each session I walked out thinking “you did it” . My PT Christina was great, she ALWAYS encouraged me, re-assured me, commended me, always asked how I was finding the nutrition plan and training and always asked about me in general. Christina also had a way that made you never want to give up even when you felt flat out. What was also really nice was that every ABS member knew you by name and always made you feel welcome. If you are serious and losing weight, toning up and looking at your eating habits and want to work with a “no nonsense” friendly, lovely group of people, I would definitely  recommend ABS. As long as you are properly committed the results will definitely come.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend ABS. I trained with Chris Rait in their Manchester gym. I started with the six week program and then I continued for a further 16 weeks. You need to commit and follow the nutrition plan, which is very good. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. Chris helped me a lot and was always positive and great fun to work with. He is a fantastic PT. Thank you again ABS : )

Fantastic experience: The best personal training facility in Manchester. Brand new top of the range equipment, a varied training program and a fantastic and knowledgable team = clear results

Fantastic experience: Professional and knowledgeable staff, excellent facilities and a must for anyone who is serious about achieving their fitness goals.

Negative experience: really poor service should be absolutely no body solutions, very expensive transf program with no effects, poor gym equipment

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and top quality training , would highly recommend the Absolute body solutions team!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Trainers. Amazing gym. Through their thorough instruction and coaching they have massively helped me change my shape and get fitter... Would recommend without a doubt...this is where you go if you want results!

Fantastic experience: I have autism and find social activities difficult. I also have poor muscle tone due to my condition. Since training with abs I have become more toned and feel really healthy. My trainer has really helped me to build up my strength and this has given me more confidence. I would highly recommend abs to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I have type2 diabetes and wanted to treat my diabetes through exercise and diet rather than pills. The training and nutritional advice given by ABS has really helped with my condition. I would recommend anyone with the same condition to try this gym.

Fantastic experience: ABS is a great place to train and one of my favourite parts of the week! Everyone is lovely and the atmosphere is always postive. Chris is brilliant and always keeps us motivated. He always accommodates our busy schedule/lifestyle and pushes us to achieve our goals. Super happy with everything so far and look forward to continuing training with him.

Fantastic experience: Great training equipment and support from the Personal Trainers. Tailored diet plan depending on your goals and great communication outside of the gym from Chris who answers any questions via text or email. Currently on week 3 out of my 6 week plan and seeing great results already. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate this gym any higher. Great quality training with a personalised diet plan that fits around my job. Trainers just pitch it right, challenge and support. I was really sceptical about having personal training being quite self conscious but Connor and the team are really welcoming and made me just think about my own goals not other people’s. If you are thinking of trying personal training give Abs a try you won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Connor and the ABS team from when he first started and have experienced each of the gyms as the company has expanded and I’ve moved around with work. Every one provides first class training and equipment and the trainers really work hard at making you work hard! Manchester is no exception with great facilities, excellent equipment and passionate trainers. Keep it up! And I promise I will!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with absolute body solutions for 2 years and I could not pick a better gym to train with. I have trained with various trainers who have all been fantastic, professional, well trained and educated executing their programme. I never used to like going the gym as found it boring and difficult to motivate myself! I now train 3 days a week with abs and I am always satisfied when I leave the gym knowing I have been trained well and pushed to my full potential. I actually now enjoy going to the gym and have changed my attitude towards fitness and my lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I love training at Abs, all of the pt’s are really friendly and had honestly been the best training facility I have ever used! My trainer Simon has been amazing! I was apprehensive and nervous before starting my 6 week programme, but he made me feel at ease during my sessions providing a professional training experience and nutritional advice like no other. He always makes sure my form is correct and will always push me to make sure I get the best results possible. The sessions have been super fun and I genuinely look forward to and enjoy them every week! I could not have achieved the transformation in just 6 weeks myself which I have managed to achieve with Simon. I am incredibly happy with my results and I look forward to continuing my training with him.

Fantastic experience: Coming to ABS is the best part of my week. My trainer Simon is super positive and motivates me always, whether it be during a session or via text to keep me on track. He helps me set and achieve goals and I am so happy with my progress so far, which is all down to his knowledge and specifically tailored routines. Simon is constantly pushing me to be the best I can be and makes sure that my form is correct, so that when I train in my own time I do it right. I have learnt so much at ABS and can’t wait for my session each week.

Fantastic experience: I train regularly with Chris at ABS Manchester and would definitely recommend him/ABS. Training is hard and that is exactly what you are paying for, a PT who can push you to your limits and some.. all with the purpose of helping you achieve your goals! The gym has a great selection of equipment, is clean and provides good shower facilities. All round a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at ABS for the past four years, doing a 9 or 12 week transformation before I go on holiday. I never used to like the way I look, and didn’t really know what to do in the gym. On my first 12 week programme, I halved my body fat percentage, and each time I’ve gone back the training has improved and I’ve had different diets to follow each week. The gym equipment is great, and you can tell the trainers care about the results you get and are invested in your programme. Highly recommended.
