Fantastic experience: I absolute love coming here! David and Sam are amazing PT’s they have the right balance between supporting and pushing you, I have achieved results and PB I didn’t even think were possible. The gym is always clean & tidy with a great range of equipment. They have created an amazing space with an even better community.

Fantastic experience: Everything you could want or need in a gym. There's a free trial if you're curious, though I promise you now this will be your go-to place.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the POD for around 6 months now and absolutely love it!! It is such a fun place to train and we always have a laugh, but it's also so motivating and you will make loads of progress. David and Sam are very very supportive and knowledgable, and all of the equipment is great. I really really recommend the POD, it's so so worth it!!

Fantastic experience: David and Sam at The Pod are great, I could never get motivated to go to a normal gym, but this whole process is really easy to keep up and I'm really enjoying the sessions there, already seen alot of progress! And everyone else that attends is super friendly! Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: It’s rare to find a place where you can feel part of a community but also find a positive platform which pushed you to improve your fitness. POD has been one of the best places I’ve ever joined. Both David and Sam are extremely dedicated and I’ve seen a huge jump in my fitness and strength over the last 6 months since joining. Highly recommended and hugely thankful!

Fantastic experience: David and Sam are great and welcoming. They have improved my strength and managed to still keep me training hard even with a serious shoulder injury. Always a good laugh but still serious about training.

Stewart Wase 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: David and Sam are such inspirational trainers. Clearly knowledgeable and passionate about helping others at any level of experience. Would highly recommend The Pod - 5 stars!!

Lara Gould 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming to The Pod since Dec 2022, soon after it opened and couldn’t recommend highly enough. David and Sam are a brilliant team and drive everyone to achieve their potential through weight training (something I never thought I’d fall in love with but I have). Since I started I’ve toned up a significantly and dropped 2 dress sizes. David and Sam have also cultivated a real sense of community among members, creating friendships which keep me committed, even when the alarm goes off at 6.30am on a rainy Wednesday in November.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for somewhere to not only meet, but also exceed your fitness goals in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, there is only one place for you, ThePOD! The trainers David and Sam are extremely knowledgeable and push you to reach your PB’s week-in, week-out. The Small Group PT sessions are a great way to train with likeminded members, contributing to making each session enjoyable. At just £18 per session, it’s a no brainer. You get a tailored training plan with expert PT’s, all whilst having some fun. Be warned, once you join, you’ll never be able to step into a normal gym again! Highly recommended for anyone looking to begin or up their training game in the Woburn Sands and surrounding areas. ‬

Dan Usher 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've achieved better results with 3 sessions a week under David and Sam's coaching these past months than I have doing 5+ sessions a week in the past. I've never been stronger and have learnt a huge amount. And that's not all, David and Sam have built a great unit with a friendly atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoy training at the POD and cannot recommend enough.

Nastassja 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: David and Sam are amazing! They take your goals into consideration and push you to reach them. It’s an amazing community that David was able to organise an afternoon event where everyone could go out for food and enjoy themselves together. The best gym and PTs I’ve worked with by far!

Jenny Hardwick 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of The POD for nearly 12 months now, having been a keen gym goer in the past, I can safely say that as a result of David and Sam’s expertise in fitness, I have never been fitter and stronger. At around £18 a session, it’s extremely good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone looking to game change their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The POD's emphasis on high-performance training will push your boundaries. Yet, amidst the intensity, there's an underlying friendliness that defines the gym's culture. The community at The POD is inclusive and supportive, fostering an environment where members encourage each other. The staff, David and Sam are approachable and knowledgeable professionals, there is always a warm greeting when you enter and they are fully dedicated to guiding you on your fitness journey. When I initially joined we discussed my own personal fitness goals and some previous injuries I had picked up, training sessions are built around the requirements of each member. After nearly 12 months at the gym, I'm making fantastic progress and am excited to see the progress continue in the future!

Sarah Truby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The POD now for 10 months. Which is a testament to David & Sam! I’ve joined a fair few gyms in the past but never kept up going for very long, as I always found them intimidating. Both David & Sam are great PT’s who are very knowledgeable and supportive. They’ve created a gym environment that’s super friendly & I always enjoy my sessions. The POD is incomparable to any other gym in the area. So much thought has gone in to every aspect and you really get what you pay for. I can’t vouch for The POD enough - Thank you!

Paul McBride 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The POD has had such a huge effect on my fitness, health and mental health. After 18 months of struggling with working out myself and barely going to the gym I wasn’t sure about joining or if it would be for me. I signed up for the free week trial after a friend telling me how much they loved it and the impact it had on their fitness and they weren’t wrong. David and Sam have created a safe community space where everyone is welcome and treated with respect and personalised needs to get the most out of training. I might still struggle with ‘enjoying’ leg day but I feel like I’m on a great journey, being supported by 2 trainers that want their members to succeed in their goals. Highly recommend The POD to anyone.

Nirav Bhuva 1 year ago

Selina Young 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The POD is a modern and clean gym with a few extra added fun features! The equipment is top quality, as is the instruction and support from the PT’s David and Sam. They are extremely knowledgable on training, technique and nutrition and have helped me immensely on my way to some personal fitness goals. The best ‘hype’ men! Pushing me to be my best strongest self

Matilda James 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This private and well laid out gym has such a great atmosphere with each clients individual journey at the heart of their ethos. The trainers are welcoming supportive and experts in their fields - with some incredible success stories already under their belts. I was excited to start my PT journey pre The Pod Woburn Sands and having transitioned into the new space I feel motivated and excited to keep working in such a lively and edgy environment which only sparks my enthusiasm to continue training and feel my best!. Group classes are welcoming and still focus on individual progress. Thanks David and Sam for bringing such a great and innovative service to the local area, I cannot reccomend The Pod enough!

Stacey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Unique in many a way, a tailored service personalised with only you as the core focus. Informative without overwhelming, David & Sam encouraging throughout. Comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, the private gym aspect a real bonus for somebody who is deterred by the commercial gym environment. Group classes with a twist, something all should try! Cannot wait for my 2023 journey with Team POD -x-

James Saville 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a fair few gyms and seen a number of PTs in my time, but I have never had such a great experience as I have at POD with David and Sam. Have been training 3 x a week following their routines and have seen such a transformation in not just my body but the way I feel. They are not just incredibly knowledgable but have a kind and nurturing approach (but don’t expect an easy ride - they will push you hard!) Couldn’t recommend this place more highly and as they are still finding their feet, it is only going to improve so get in now before they reach capacity!

Aoife O'connor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: David and Sam are brilliant. We have just completed are first 3 sessions and we are feeling great. We’ve both done some weight training before but wanted help in progressing and helping with our form. Sam and David made us feel welcome right from the start and we can’t wait to continue. All the equipment is brilliant and brand new, can’t believe we trained elsewhere!

Bradley Watts 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The POD is simply unlike any gym around! With such a welcoming and friendly environment, The POD offers industry leading equipment and exceptional knowledge from David and Sam. With bespoke, personal sessions for such good value, you will not find this anywhere else. Go and check it out!

Ben Silver 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym and set up. Both David & Sam at the POD always make you feel really welcome too. Great training and great fun. Cheers guys, keep up the brilliant work!

Adele Bradbury-Peters 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The equipment is the best I’ve used by far. The attention to detail and planning that has gone into the unit itself just makes the whole experience such an enjoyable one. The quality and knowledge of the trainers matches the high level of the facility too. I don’t think I have ever felt so encouraged, supported and confident that I am on the right track and hitting the right goals to suit me needs. Definitely worth more stars if they had them

Lindsay Jobling 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training at the POD for a few months working with one of the trainers there. The space and equipment are excellent and my trainer has been hugely supportive and great fun to work with. Over a short period my fitness and strength has transformed and I've loved my sessions - they are good for my mental and physical health. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to make a serious step-change in their well-being.

Hannah Kirkby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I wouldn't go anywhere else! The POD is a private gym where you can not only achieve, but exceed your own fitness goals. A safe space where you can confidently be yourself, whether you are new to training or are wanting to really understand the Pain Of Discipline! Incredible value for money, you won't find quality private small group sessions anywhere else. The level of personal tailored support you recieve for only £18 per session can't be beaten. I finally feel like I'm on the right fitness path for me and I can't recommend The POD enough!

Hayley Crosby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to better your body and your mind, The POD is THE place to be signing up at … As a gym novice I was made to feel comfortable from my first interactions. The motivation, knowledge and expertise from both David and Sam is second to none. The evening classes are an ultimate ‘must do’, good music, good vibes and hardcore training with the bonus of burning a lot of calories! I’m so happy that I found David, Sam & The POD and look forward to the progress being made in 2023!

Michelle Payne 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Don't be fooled by the outside of this gym. If you are really into your training when you will walk into ThePOD you will not be disappointed, it's a box of delights for sure. The gym is aesthetically sublime. It's has such a fresh unique feel to it and screams. "In here you get the work done" David & Sam were most welcoming and straight away made me feel at ease. You can see the value they want to add to their clients. If you are fed up with mainstream gyms, where your results are lacking. I would highly recommend you go visit ThePOD. I have no doubt the boys will bring you AMAZING results. I can't wait to work with them more. See you soon David & Sam. Keep Believing Michelle

Steve O 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joined Dec 2022, very pleased I did, the private training facility is excellent, top quality equipment with everything you need for a good workout. The PT's David & Sam are great guys, listen to you and the goals you want to achieve and then work a plan to achieve them. They are helpful, understanding and trust me they give you a good workout lol if you are looking for 121 or small group training I have and would certainly recommend these guys.

James Hannah 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love The Pod! For around £18 per hour, the sessions are an amazing value. The trainers are knowledgeable and always pushing me to achieve my fitness goals. In the past I have struggled to maintain attendance/motivation in a gym and with other PT’s, but David and Sam keep pushing me to achieve more. My personal transformation in 3 months has been amazing. I am feeling stronger and more positive about myself. The gym is well-equipped with everything I need for a great workout, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. But what really sets The Pod apart is the overall experience. The atmosphere is always positive and welcoming - unlike some gyms which can be intimidating, I feel like a valued member and there is a fantastic community spirit. The trainers are always available to answer questions and provide guidance, and I always leave the gym feeling energized and accomplished. Overall, I would highly recommend The Pod to anyone looking for a tailored, affordable, and effective fitness experience. 5 stars!

Will Leverett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a few different gyms over the years and not felt happy and ultimately given up quickly. I finally found a gym where I feel comfortable and I’m getting the support and knowledge I need to get fit again. David and Sam are brilliant, they’re knowledgeable and approachable making me feel like I’m in safe hands. The equipment is top tear and the gym is spotless. You can tell a lot of time and effort goes into making it a nice place to train. I’d highly recommend The Pod to anyone who doesn’t like commercial big gyms and wants specialist one-to-one training in a friendly environment.
