The Fitness Locker

Fantastic experience: The Fitness Locker is a gym located at Pant Ind Est in Merthyr Tydfil that specialises in one to one and small group training. They have a small team of really dedicated and likeable staff that can help you. If your serious about getting healthier then they are the perfect fit for you. Can tell you from personal experience before I started with them I was too intimidated to use the weight training area in any commercial gym. Now its something I enjoy immensely and use regularly! They have a variety of different weights and cardio machines and can help you put a plan in place to achieve your goals. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Only my 2nd week and the coaches were very welcoming from my first session and i can feel a difference in my mobility already , The members are welcoming too , getting up at 6.00am for the 7.00 class was a bit of a shock to my routine of sleeping till 8.00 but it's worth it .

Fantastic experience: I was on the fence for a while about joining the Fitness Locker, distance from my home and available time being the main factors but in July 2023 I finally bit the bullet and committed. I can 100% say it was one of the best decisions I have made. I initially joined on 6 week commit with the aim of learning to lift weights correctly and then take my learnings to my local gym and train alone once my 6 weeks was up (I'm not a sociable person :-) ). That was the plan.... But that is not what happened, by week 3 I was asking Lee to sign me up for the next 12 months. What I found in abundance at the FL was community, commarardary and support from all of its coaches and members. The small group sessions removed all the friction to training that you typically find at a gym. All the equipment you need is set out infront of you with clear easy to follow instruction and support to make sure you are getting the most from the session. So if felt like all I had to do was turn up :-) The coaching at the FL is absolutely gold standard with a real depth of knowledge and its application, numberous times the sessions were adapted by the coaches to my specific needs. This really helped me maintain consistency when I picked up an injury. If like me you were on the fence, I whole heartedly suggest you give it a try. It will be one of the best investments you can make in yourself!

Fantastic experience: Just started and feel very welcomed on each session. Lovely people, lovely trainers, great environment, great support, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great place to be helped with getting you into shape ! The guys look after you there and are friendly ! Work with you personolise you're fitness classes and always encourage and advise you on getting fitter

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member now for nearly 2 years and I’ve never experienced another gym like it! What I love most is the fact I can just turn up and not have to think about I’m going to do. The variety of sessions and the quality of coaching is also superb. The progress I’ve made is tremendous - when I first rocked up I couldn’t lift the bar! Everyone is so welcoming and they are always striving to offer something bigger and better! It’s the most consistent I have ever been with any level of training. The FL has a very unique offering.

Fantastic experience: I started over at the fitness locker in March, just wanting to kick start my fitness journey, I went for the 6 week challenge, and I've been there since. It's been 6 months now and I feel on top of the world. I've lost over a stone and a half even though weight loss is no longer my goal. I am stronger than I have ever been. I have made a bunch of new friends for life. The coaches there are second to none. Very attentive, and helpful. They know all our strengths and push us to succeed. I could never be where I am today without this place. They also go above and beyond, arranging social event for us all, from friendly competitions with other gyms to assault courses, and relaxation evenings. This really is the most important part of my life right now and I wouldn't be without it. For my mind, my body and my mental health. Very highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I started training 3 weeks ago after doing no exercise for 25 years and no training ever!! I already feel tons better and I really enjoy it! I always hated slogging away at the gym on the X trainer or something like that - but this is nothing like it. I have lower back / sciatica issues and it’s just not a problem during or after training - I’m amazed and delighted! My fitness is already so much better, and my posture! The staff are wonderful and take good care of me. Thank you FL ❤️

Fantastic experience: Joining the Fitness Locker has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time! The small group sessions are a fantastic way for someone to get the workout they need with any injuries/niggles taken into consideration. The coaches are so knowledgeable and genuinely care about getting you to where you want to be, whether that’s bigging you up on hitting a PB or giving you a kick up the backside to load up with more weight! Without a doubt, the best thing about the FL is the community. You’re made to feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door and everyone is more than happy to give you the support/reassurance that you might need to get involved. If you’re debating joining and not sure if it’s for you, do it. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Just completed my 3rd week of a 6 week plan. Lovely friendly atmosphere from the staff and other gym users. Totally different to any other gym I’ve experienced. Non judgemental trainers who want you to get the best from your workout and help you every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: One of the best things I've done in a long time was investing in myself and joining here. The sessions are really well structured to maximise your time. Takes all the thought process out of it, just turn up work hard and count your reps! Nobody gets left behind, adaptions are made if needed and the coaches make suggestions....you make the decisions. The sense of accomplishment I feel when leaving just sets me up for whatever the rest of my life is going to throw at me!

Fantastic experience: Since starting my journey with the Fitness locker I have not only changed my physical health but improved my anxiety. I started without a single clue on how to work any part of my body and so anxious I wasn’t sure I would make it past my first session. But after that first week I knew I had made the right decision and that this was the start of an epic journey I have the upmost respect for all the trainers. They are on hand for help and guidance, not afraid to call you out if you try to take it easy (the best trainers will watch and know when you can push a little harder before you believe you can) but will also make sure you aren’t going to cause injury by doing too much. They have each welcomed me, supported and guided me since the start And not only that by the gym is amazing, has everything you need and the people in the class are equally a fantastic part of the experience. Everyone is there for a reason, everyone started from the beginning for them. There is a sense of family at the gym. We all cheer each other on and there is no competition other than a bit of healthy one where we try to beat our own personal PBs and they try to beat there’s I can’t recommend these guys enough If you think you can’t go to the gym for any reason, I dare you to try here and then come back and see if that reason still fits after a week

Fantastic experience: Joining the Fitness Locker in April this year is easily the best thing that I have done. I lacked motivation and energy, had gained a few pounds and just felt uncomfortable again in my own skin. I used to train independently, but had been out of gyms for a few years. I had seen the 6 week challenge advertised on facebook, so I bit the bullet and enquired about the plan as I had never trained with others or had a personal trainer before. My thoughts being to throw myself into those 6 weeks and see what I could get out of it (even if it was just some routine back). Everyone was so welcoming from the beginning. The sessions are well structured and vary throughout the week, with the coaches breaking down exercises and making alterations to weights and movements to adapt and include each member. They help you work towards general and specific goals and could not be more helpful and accommodating. There is a huge sense of community at this gym, with everyone being there to achieve the same goal - to improve themselves. The gym, coaches, members and banter are all top quality. If you're on the fence about joining, whether you have ample or no experience, enquire and try it out. What's the worst that could happen?

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, always helpful and welcoming. A friendly and supportive environment from fellow members too which makes turning up a lot easier! The variety of classes too makes it easier to stay consistent and push yourself. Definitely recommend anyone who’s considering it to get started!

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and choice of classes. I started here on the 6 week trial. I've stayed and honestly feel at home. Coaches look after you when you start ensuring good form and manage your experience and expectations. Excellent facility.
