The Fitness Yard

Negative experience: It could have been a better experience. Personal training was advertised, so I got in touch and waited days for a response. When I finally got to speak to a potential trainer and set a time, I was ghosted. I felt like they just didn't really care. Have now found a PT elsewhere who got in touch same day and was eager and excited to meet up.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym - great community and mix of classes

Fantastic experience: Lovely place and community of people, was made to feel very welcome

Fantastic experience: I've been going to TFY for a couple of months now, with no previous gym experience. Abi, Charlie and Leah are amazing - super friendly, they really care about their clients, and are excellent PTs. Despite not knowing anything, I've found it non-intimidating with lots of coaching and a focus on good form, with no pressure to push yourself too hard. I've learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic boutique training gym offering fabulous classes & personal training. Our favourite at the moment is the MumNbubs class as there isn’t anywhere in Bristol offering a fun workout where babies can join too. Not to mention the coaches here, who are simply the best!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love The Fitness Yard! I have been a membership since they first opened and It is honestly the best gym I have ever been to! It is the only gym where I have consistently worked out each week and stuck with it (and i have been a member of lots of other gyms in Bristol). They run three main classes power, fast and strong. Which are programmed for around 8/9 weeks and the progress I have made in my fitness and strength is unbelievable....trust the process.... The coaches are so friendly, supportive and just really nice people! In addition it's such a beautiful space. I cannot see myself going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for over a year. Love the community and welcoming nature of the gym. Would recommend for both beginners and experience gym goers.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches they really know what they are doing and took the time to help me. The gym fit-out and equipment is top notch.

Fantastic experience: The equipment and setting are great, the coaches are really kind and motivating. I’m really making the most of my membership.

Fantastic experience: Great programming and an amazing welcoming environment. Like no other gym I've been to.

Fantastic experience: EPIC class - seriously encouraging. Felt like I really pushed myself and have sore legs today. Money well spent

Fantastic experience: A gym like no other!

Fantastic experience: Great mum and baby class, Abi is great and the only class where you actually get pushed but in a safe way! Love it and look forward to it every week, prioritising your own wellbeing too and getting back to feeling like yourself.

Fantastic experience: LOVE these classes. They’re nice and challenging and Abi is so welcoming and accommodating with the babies. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: What an incredible gym! Abi and Charlie are fantastic trainers and they’ve created a great space and environment to train in.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at TFY for a few months now and have recently signed up for the full membership & have left my previous gym that I’ve attended very regularly for years. The environment Abi and Charlie create is welcoming, inclusive and happy. There is a real mix of fitness levels and people that attend - but there is a consistent feeling of us all being there to simply crack on with a good work out and it’s always very down to earth when you are there Coming from a gym with bigger workout spaces I didn’t know what a smaller space would be like - but the way they set up the sessions makes it all work very well and they basically keep you so busy sweating you don’t really notice Also I’ve never been one to speak to other people at the gym - but as the classes are around 8/9 ppl you naturally get to know others and I look forward to seeing their sleepy faces at 6am each day. Today, I woke up feeling tired, headachy and stressed - but I just drove myself to TFY, had a great Fast Yard workout, some daft chat about cereal choices and then everything felt ok again I so pleased I found this place. If you like consistent, regular hard workouts, a friendly down to earth environment and a bit of chat, even at 6am..this is the place for you xxx

Fantastic experience: I really love these classes. I was nervous about returning to exercise post baby, but the class is really friendly and welcoming. Somehow Abi works her magic keeping the babies happy or occasionally they join in and you work them into the exercises which is great. You leave feeling like you’ve had a proper work out. Nice to be able to do something for yourself but still have a space that you can take the baby into as well. Thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic experience: So happy I found this gym! Mumnbub classes are great! Suitable for all fitness levels. You can take a class in your own pace either you want to slow it down or push yourself. The trainer Abi is sooo lovely she will keep you motivated throughout and by the time you know it you can’t imagine a week without the workout. Still Best thing is my baba loves it just as much as I do. He gets well looked after and have a chance to hang out with his little buddies Amazing work out in friendly atmosphere- definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent exercise class for mums where you can bring your baby along. Exercises can be adapted to be as difficult or as easy as you like, if you’re just starting exercise again after baby don’t be afraid everyone is so friendly. If you need to feed or settle your baby there is no one else in the gym except other mums. I didn’t think my baby would be able to entertain herself for an hour while I had some time to exercise and feel myself again but bring some toys and the babies entertain each other! I’ve tried many mum and baby exercise classes with both of my babies and I would really recommend this one.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, Abi and Charlie have made TFY very welcoming. I was looking for a new gym that would help me get more consistency in my training and TFY really helps with this. The quality of the classes are so so good and you can work at your own fitness level in small groups. TFY is such a great addition to Henleaze, and provides a unique fitness experience that makes it such a fab place to train

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough of the Mum and bub sessions, the gym and Abi’s coaching. As someone who really enjoyed fitness pre-pregnancy it was really refreshing to find a class that challenged me to get strong again safely. If you’re looking for some challenging, friendly classes- this is for you.

Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the most inclusive and welcoming gyms I’ve been a member at. Been going for over 6 months now and couldn’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for an independent gym that genuinely cares about their members, has great facilities and cares about each members goal, then this is the gym for you. Great class selection.

Fantastic experience: I nervously joined a taster session of MumNbub 12 weeks after a C-section. I had put on a lot of weight and didn’t feel myself at all. Abi is so lovely, understanding and knowledgable. All the exercises are tailored to new mums and are ‘useful’ in the way they build up strength for practical situations like carrying the baby in the car seat, or exercises to remedy stiff necks from feeding/holding baby. It’s a solid workout instructed in an encouraging environment, and if anything is too hard, then Abi always adapts the movements. One of the best parts is that the lovely clean, shiny studio seems to have magical powers that send the babies to sleep. (If they’re not asleep then Abi is also wonderful with babies!!) My favourite weekly activity - absolutely love it.

Fantastic experience: After a tough few months recovering from an injury and surgery, I started at The Fitness Yard earlier this year to work on improving my fitness and strength. The space and members are welcoming, the kit is top notch, and the trainers are absolutely fantastic. Charlie and Abi plan some of the most balanced and structured (and often challenging) workouts I've ever followed, and their guidance and eye for detail means my form is always prioritised and I get the most out of every session. I honestly look forward to my next class at the fitness yard, thanks so much Abi and Charlie for running such a great place! If you're even remotely thinking of giving it a go, I can't recommend enough just trying their 7 day free trial to see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I came here after a good 18 months of doing next to no exercise at all, and now 12 weeks later I’ve never felt stronger or fitter. Abi and Charlie create a great space and environment for you to really push your limits and have always got time to answer your questions and spend that extra time with you when needed. No matter what your fitness level is and where you want to get to with your training all the classes are inclusive and provide all you need for your individual goals. I train 5/6 times a week at TFY and I’ve never done the same class twice the variety of classes is incredible, no chance of getting bored. Can’t recommend enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: The Fitness Yard offers an impressive variety of classes that cater to both strength and endurance training. The diverse range of workouts keeps things exciting and ensures a well-rounded fitness routine. The instructors are knowledgeable and motivating, creating a positive atmosphere that encourages me to push my limits. Whether I'm looking to build muscle or enhance my stamina, The Fitness Yard's classes have me covered. It's become my go-to place for achieving my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Charlie and Abi have created a fantastic mixture of hard work, good fun and technical excellence all in the coolest of settings. There is something for everyone and a brilliant sense of “team” amongst the members. I’ve used tons of gyms over the years and this is the best by some distance. Richard

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend The Fitness Yard enough. Abi and Charlie are the best coaches. They make you feel so welcome and comfortable. My mind set on gyms and working out has changed massively since I have been going to see them. I love going to work out which are words I never thought I would say. Thank you Abi and Charlie.. you guys are the best!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the atmosphere at the Fitness Yard. Abi is amazing, so motivating and encouraging wherever you are on your fitness journey. I’d been looking for a Mum & Baby fitness class that actually gave me a workout and I’m happy to report Mum & Bub Yard does exactly that and more! If you’re thinking about dipping your toes in the water again or starting from scratch I would highly recommend giving the Fitness Yard a go!

Fantastic experience: Lovely looking gym with great equipment. Just did the ‘fast yard’ class. Charlie and Abi were really encouraging and the atmosphere was great!! I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: I first experienced classes with Abi in lockdown and loved them - and that’s saying someone for a person who doesn’t generally enjoy exercise. She’s a fantastic coach who is warm and approachable to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Great energy at this gym. High quality equipment and coahces are so helpful navigating injuries and encouraging clients to still reach their potential and even exceed expectations! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great personal training and group training gym. Owned and run by Charlie and Abi, both very experienced, passionate and friendly personal trainers. Highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic experience: Have just finished a 7 day trial session at The Fitness Yard in Henleaze. I have done 4 classes (to get my moneys worth). The classes have been fantastic with great trainers (Charlie and Abi) and like minded friendly members. I have now signed up and am looking forward to working with them to keep me strong and healthy. Would 100% recommend them.

Fantastic experience: A very neat new gym in Henleaze! Trainers were lovely, welcoming and very knowledgable when asked about modification of exercises for specific injuries. Both clearly been in the industry for a long time and looking to make a start on their own. Overall, great gym with top quality new gear. I'll be back again this week.
