Forma

Fantastic experience: It's a top class gym, very friendly with excellent facilities. A great way to improve flexibility, mobility and strength. I love going there.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym in Gloucester. I've built a foundation of strength and flexibility I wouldn't have got from going anywhere else. Wes and Claire are always welcoming and have managed to make a community of adults who want to exercise.

Fantastic experience: With an equal focus on flexibility and body weight focused strength, Forma has enabled me to become stronger, achieve things I could not do before (muscle ups and handstands) whilst remaining injury free for the 18months I have trained here. All of that with a light atmosphere and great community. I love it.

Fantastic experience: Forma is amazing - such a friendly and fun atmosphere. The classes are super varied and educational and I always look forward to attending them. If you are ever wondering whether to attend a class or not - just do it! You wont look back

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with the most knowledgeable and caring instructors I have ever come across. They are truly inspiring and encouraging regardless of what stage you're at. I get something new from every session I have been to.

Fantastic experience: They make beginners feel welcome through encouragement & challenge your perceived boundaries! A google search bought me to forma & im so glad i joined. I haven't seen anything in Gloucester like this & i wouldn't change. Refreshing to have mentors who are well equipped on the body & its movements. A high standard of learning will take place Also noticing shifts in my confidence which i hope to share with other beginners as they join & grow.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Wes after having my hip resurfaced as a result of many years of running and poor training. I did it initially as rehabilitation but found that the effects were way beyond expectations. I can honestly say I feel much stronger and more flexible than I did 15 years ago. It's fun and it's strangely addictive. All the instructors, especially Wes and Claire are highly professional, attentive and thoroughly nice people. I never hesitate to recommend Forma to anyone who's looking to add more depth to their training.

Fantastic experience: Forma is an amazing gym with dedicated and passionate instructors. Combining strength and flexibility! I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great atmosphere to train in with knowledgeable and friendly coaches. Ideal for anyone regardless of age or ability!

Fantastic experience: Forma is fantastic, great teachers, great atmosphere and the gloucester facility is superb.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful gym, top coaching, great supportive community.

Fantastic experience: As a gymnast (I am now well into my 50s so probably should say ‘ex gymnast’), I find the stretch classes reminiscent of my teenage years. However, a creaky body benefits massively from Pilatus and core strengthening. Both excellently thought by Claire, Wes and team.

Fantastic experience: Forma, has completely changed my life - for the better, many sporting aches and pains that have placed restitutions on my movement have gone - completely. Coaches led by Wes and Claire are amazingly, wonderfully, supportive. Now in best shape of last 20 years. Heading towards my 60 milestone cannot recommend highly enough. Enjoy chasing a little white ball round a field and my game has improved dramatically.

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to attend a handstands class by Wesley and I cannot speak highly enough of the high standards of his teaching. You can see some of the drills covered in that class in the pictures. During my visit at Forma I delivered a workshop on "Ice Baths & Breath Control". Looking forward to visiting Forma again.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Forma for over 4 years now and it’s a community and a routine that plays a huge role in my life. My strength, over all health and fitness as well as my happiness has vastly improved over time. Forma offers encouragement, community and vital knowledge about how your body works and how to improve. The gym is clean, spacious and uniquely equipped for many types of strength training. The training is diverse and evolves as you do, offering multiple progressions per exercise for beginners through to advanced level athletes. As an adult I joined Forma to find fitness training that was measurable and interesting. Not only did I find something that I want to stick to but I have reconnected with my childhood love of gymnastics and feel fitter and more flexibility than I ever have.

Fantastic experience: I cannot praise Forma enough. Wesley and Claire are brilliant coaches. The classes are fun, demanding yet achievable regardless of ones level. There is expert tuition and support throughout. The Gloucester gym is a great space, modern, clean and well equipped. Certainly joining Forma has been one of the best things I have done - I've met some lovely people from all walks of life and each week I look forward to the classes - every time I walk out feeling alive and buzzing, which is just as well as I approach my 70th year. Strength and flexibility has improved no end - thanks to Forma no more stooping or groaning as I get in and out of the car - I can even put my own pants on unaided !!! 5 Stars all round.

Fantastic experience: I joined Forma 2 and a half years ago when I was looking for an alternative form of training. The style of training and supportive approach you get from all the instructors is second to none. The Forma Family is totally inclusive and I have truly found a happy place !!! I feel stronger and fitter, despite a few niggling injuries. In fact, I was able to work through a hip injury with Wesley Tan’s expert advise and encouragement, avoiding surgery. I would highly recommend anyone trying out a session, whatever your age. If I can do it at 53, anyone can !!!

Fantastic experience: I love Forma - Walked through the doors the day they opened, and have never looked back! Used to love running and yoga, but something was missing - FORMA ticks all boxes and nourishes mind and body holistically, within a very supportive and inspiring community of members, international visitors and instructors (I am now an instructor, but I love attending others' classes as much as I love teaching!). Always more to learn! Gymnastic fitness is so efficient, comprehensive and satisfying. Refined body control and freedom - feels great.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled upon Forma on Facebook and will always be so grateful that I did. I cannot recommend it highly enough. As an ex-dancer, ex-every kind of sport and a physio and the wrong side of 40, I had begun to get very stale with my exercise. I emailed Wes and was immediately impressed by his kind and encouraging response. That was 4 or 5 years ago and I haven't looked back since. Forma has made the most incredible difference to me in so many ways. The Gloucester studio that Wes and Claire have set up is such a wonderful place to train and the professionalism and talented instructing that you receive are very hard to find anywhere else. If you want to get stronger, more flexible, more confident and generally just feel much better you couldn't find a nicer environment in which to do so.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Forma classes in person and online since 2014. Their wholistic approach to body conditioning, strength and fitness is incomparable. Their professionalism and knowledge makes anyone with any background feel safe in their hands. I had no gymnastic or fitness background when I started but they took us through all we needed to know to get the most out of classes and avoid injury. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in long term physical fitness investment. They give you tools for life.

Fantastic experience: The Forma gym offers excellent training that improves strength, flexibility, and confidence. It is essential to listen to your own body but as it is ran by 2 osteopaths, I always feel in safe hands. I also believe this knowledge enhances the training they are able to offer and this sets Forma apart from other gyms. As well as a great range of classes on offering, I would also fully recommend utilising the osteopath services available. These are useful if you have any injuries - or if you just need a massage to de stress! In all aspects of service delivery the team at Forma are professional with excellent communication skills. The gym itself is beautifully clean and organised with a good range of facilities and equipment. Forma is a fantastically unique gym that boasts wise instructors and a group of lovely, helpful people to support you!

Fantastic experience: Very kind people.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and great service from top quality coaches.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend forma, I have previously weight trained and found areas of my body lacked mobility and flexibility, namely my hamstrings and neck. Attending 'foundations' had enabled me to make improvements to my freedom of movement that I didn't think were possible. The staff are highly qualified, have a uniquely dedicated following of attendees and possess an eye for precison of movement that I am awe inspired by. The classes do take a level of application as they can be challenging but the team are incredibly supportive and will believe in you and your ability to change for the better. To top this all off, your body will tone and slender without you even noticing! I love Forma.

Fantastic experience: Best thing I ever did was start this membership. I'm fitter, stronger and more flexible and loving how my body feels and looks. Great instructors and everyone is so friendly and supportive. Can't imagine not doing gymnastics now. 7 months in and my goals are getting closer.

Fantastic experience: A place of excellence in gymnastic training and overall knowledge about a healthy supple body. I spent a two week long training vacation and learned a lot, whilst also having a great time. Be prepared to meet some wonderful helpful people that will take your training to the next level! I hope to come back many times to learn more and more from all Forma's instructors!

Fantastic experience: As a woman in my mid 40's, overweight & unfit, I was really apprehensive about joining the Forma classes. But as I hurt my back last year, I was pretty determined to find an exercise that I would enjoy enough to keep going. Regular gym wasn't doing it for me, but Forma has been fantastic! I've been going for 4 months, and I've seen real significant changes in my strength & my body. No more back pain! And being able to do handstands is so much fun. Even if you don't think it's for you - give it a try. The instructors are welcoming & know how to adapt exercises to suit you. I've found the exercise that will stick, and I know I'll get stronger & more flexible every month.
