Xfitness

Fantastic experience: I have been training at XFitness for around 6 months with Mike, I have one session a week in person and currently 2 further sessions a week programmed. This week was my first 1 rep max tests on Bench press, Squat and Deadlift with Mike and I have surpassed any numbers that have been my previous. I have a number of long standing conditions and injuries that I have always found to hinder progress, but this time it hasn't been the case. Mike took the time to get to know my medical conditions and how these effect me to produce the most appropriate training programme. For many years I have been told to complete a move in a certain way no matter if it's caused pain or difficulty. With Mike it's different as long as the safety points are in place he has worked with my body to find the best way to lift for good progress with little discomfort. Mike is very knowledgeable in his field and uses this to a good advantage to get the best out of his clients. The gym itself always has a welcoming atmosphere with people there for the same reason, I haven't found anyone yet that has been set on putting people down like I have previously in commercial gyms. It's rare that I go and can't use the equipment I need for the session I have planned, and there's usually a good feeling that I don't have with commercial gyms when they are packed full. The equipment is well looked after, with very little downtime if a piece needs repairing. I would highly recommend Mike as a trainer and XFitness as a place to workout, I know I will be a regular face for a long time to come.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Used when visiting Stockport for a couple of weeks, great range of equipment, never had to wait for anything. Great atmosphere, much preferred to commercial gyms I have used in the past

Fantastic experience: Great gym and super coaching from Mike.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Mike for almost 6 months now and it has been great. Due to work schedule, I was barely training for the past few years and as a result my fitness level was at its all time low. During our personal training classes, we worked on techniques of the big lifts and ended our sessions with strongmen and HIIT as part of circuits. Mike demonstrated his great understanding of strength and conditioning. On top of it, he is always able to come out with a personalised plan to keep me moving forward. To add on the comments by other reviewers, it is an old school gym with many squats racks and also benches (one needs not worry about not getting a place to workout during peak hours) but it also has rower, ski, and recently curved treadmill, air bike which provides opportunities for excellent aerobic training as well. I strongly recommend those who wish to or is serious in learning more about strength and conditioning to come to the gym and maybe have a lesson or two under Mike.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this gym enough! Mike is a great help, the gym is brilliant and if you go at the right time, you’ll get the company of a dog as well! Ended up falling back in love with working out since joining XFitness

Positive experience: No heating or air con but its worth it for having plenty of kit

Positive experience: It's probably the best local gym around. Positives It's quiet Has everything you need 24hr Negatives They need to label where the plates go and buy another rack to store plates. The squat racks have additional attachments which I keep constantly tripping on. A trip hazard! Some of the equipment is abit rusted and dusty it needs love. The adjustable benches are short so aren't good for incline bench press seated overhead press although I am 6ft3 Overall this is the best local gym and you will have a good workout.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great equipment - I found most of it a lot better than commercial gyms. Atmosphere is a lot nicer too. Would make this my main gym if I lived closer.

Fantastic experience: Top class gym, old school feel, great vibes and never a wait for equipment, even during peak hours.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great atmosphere, fantastic opening times ;) you need to try this gym

Fantastic experience: only the best gym in the whole of the UK. Owner is a legend. he didn't pay me to write that either.

Fantastic experience: After starting my training in commercial gyms I decided I wanted to find a place where I can actually access all the equipment I need to get my workouts done, and I wanted to join somewhere that had more of a sense of community. Having joined xfitness just as the gyms reopened after lockdown I can say I was onto a winner. I love training here and have progressed so much faster in comparison to other gyms. The atmosphere is absolutely sound, you can just crack on and get the work done if you want to, but there's also lots of friendly faces if you want to have a chat between sets or need a spot on a lift. I had been following a power building programme but was curious about the strongman equipment they had there and have branched out to start including strongman as well and it's been really good fun so far Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: XFitness is the challenge you've been waiting for. It's a fantastic gym, professional yet personal - a stark contrast to the chains that are beginning to dominate the fitness space. With caps on membership numbers and an entire wall of power racks (yes, an entire wall) the days of standing around waiting for equipment are truly over. Add in a whole host of Olympic, Strongman, or even CrossFit-style equipment, and your workouts will become more efficient, tougher, and more diverse than ever before. Mike is both a knowledgeable and approachable coach and business owner, who supports his members through whatever fitness journey they are on. For some that means advising and challenging, but for others the gym's 24/7 access, sound system, and abundance of weights is all the encouragement they require. And Mike does a really good job of letting his members succeed in their own way.

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean fully equipped and friendly gym

Fantastic experience: Loads of kit, full of hard working people and no posers. Welcoming to all. The only stipulation is if you leave kit lying around you will be beaten to a pulp.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with a welcoming owner. It's got everything you need regardless of your weight lifting goals. If you're aiming for strength, whether powerlifting, strongman, powerbuilding or Olympic lifting then I assure you this is where you want to be, not a commercial gym. Edit: the original reason I joined, a staple for the gym in the modern world, its 24/7 access.

Fantastic experience: Really nice welcoming gym with tonnes of equipment for strength training, lifting and strongman. I’ve been training with Mike the owner for strongman too and his positivity and knowledge has helped me to see brilliant strength gains in quite a short space of time. Good people, ace tunes and a nice atmosphere - come and join the party gym!

Fantastic experience: Was a bit nervous going in, but Mike was so accommodating and made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Couldn't recommend it enough

Fantastic experience: Great resources, family friendly, helpful and considerate of all abilities this 24/7 gym has it all.

Fantastic experience: It's open 24 hours. Great equipment. What else do you need

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and professional staff I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym!!! I was a beginner when I first walked in but Mike was really welcoming and friendly and provided me with a great training programme to help me settle in.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at X-Fitness since September this year (2019) I'm completely new to strength training and wasn't really sure where to start, so you can imagine I was a bit nervous. Mike was really helpful and non-judgmental and set me off on a suitable programme to get me started. He manages to perfectly balance offering help and advice with letting you just get on and try stuff. There are no ego's here. Everyone I've met is busy doing their own thing for the right reasons no-one is parading around and showing off; everyone is just cracking on with their own workout. There is enough equipment for everyone without any awkward waiting around. I tend to train in the day but love the fact that if need be I can go out of hours as the gym is open 24/7. It's never a chore to go to X-Fitness. It's more of an issue for me if I miss a day! The biggest testament I can give this place is to say I have to drive past loads of other gyms to get here but I still would rather travel half an hour to come here than go somewhere closer to home. Best gym in Stockport for sure.

Fantastic experience: As a rugby player I was thrilled to find a purpose built facility dedicated to not only strength and conditioning but also offers all the accessory machines needed to build and maintain muscle. Ive never been to a gym before that has a 300kg tyre, atlas stones and Bodybuilding machines! Great place to do some proper training! Fun days getting to pull a 13ton truck are a great laugh too.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with loads of equipment! Mike the owner is very friendly and really helpful. The gym is 24 hours as well so that's another bonus. Fab gym, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with fantastic equipment. Mike is extremely helpful and always offers great advice about different training and techniques which would be helpful for his clients. wouldn’t consider any other gym after going here

Fantastic experience: Great gym with lots of equipment. Mike is very friendly and knowledgeable and sorted me out with a plan to follow as I was a beginner. Would definitely recommend X Fitness

Fantastic experience: As a woman in my 60’s , I thought better late than never to get into weight training. Mike explained all the benefits that functional resistance training can have. He worked out a plan for me based on my current abilities and really went above and beyond in coaching correct technique. I have been a member since they opened and wouldn’t consider another gym! Fantastic equipment and service with a welcoming and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym - the range and amount of equipment is amazing and means you are never waiting around, even at peak times. The owner, Mike, is always on hand to offer advice and can design workout programmes for you based on your specific goals. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, lots of equipment and 24 hours. Where else can you flip a tyre at 1am

Fantastic experience: Great gym has everything you need and it's 24 hour

Fantastic experience: Incredible Gym. I've been a member of Total Fitness & Pure Gym previously and this wipes the floor with both. Never waited for a machine or rack and has everything you could ever need. You don't get a huge tyre to flip or an Atlas stone to pick up at other gyms! Plus its 24 hour so it's never busy!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place with all the equipment I need, the owner Mike is friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help. Give home a text (number on his website) and go have a chat with him.
