We help people to “do life” a little bit better. Through fitness, community, building relationships with others and doing cool stuff ???????? On the surface we try to deliver the best coaching we can for “functional fitness” but when you dive a bit deeper we provide so much more. Our outlook on being healthy extends way past just being physically fit. It includes learning new skills, meeting new people, being social, managing stress and developing as a person. We try to build all of that into our team of athletes. We have organised events such as team hikes, in house competitions, socials and activity days. This has helped us to create a community of nice people doing cool things and all chasing for more from life.

Fantastic experience: Going to these classes has massively improved my mental health since I joined. The classes are addictive and I really look forward to them. When I joined at the end of May I was super unfit but the coaches are brilliant and always gave me options that were doable for me. Since then my fitness has much improved (although still a long way to go!) and I feel so much better physically and mentally. Everyone is so positive and supportive and it makes such a difference working out in a buzzy environment. I couldn’t ever go back to working out in a gym on my own again, not that I barely ever did that to start with!

Fantastic experience: I was really scared about starting PT training but Riley instantly put me at ease. I never thought I would actually enjoy training but I look forward to my weekly sessions now and feel stronger and more confident than ever. All the team are amazing and I would highly recommend BMA to anyone looking for a friendly fun environment with PTs that are so genuinely passionate about what they do.

Fantastic experience: Alex and Riley are the best PT’s! Really enjoy going to classes and feels like a community. For someone who doesn’t like exercising, this is a great way to start embracing it whilst getting fit.

Fiona Bowler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. All the coaches and athletes are so friendly. As a complete beginner I was super nervous about getting into strength training and weight lifting but it’s been a fantastic experience all round. Can’t recommend enough.

martin poil 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, friendly welcome, all levels of ability and ages can do their classes and workouts, did the Saturday morning throwdown which was excellent fun, each week is something different, Riley and Alex the main PT's are 100% encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Joined BMA around 6 months ago after 2 years at a previous small group coaching setup. The ethos of the place is bang on and they seem to have a way of attracting like minded friendly "Athletes" to the membership base/family. Exciting future ahead for these guys! Get on down.

Jordan Hazell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joining BMA has to be one of the best things I have ever done. I’ve always been nervous in gyms, not knowing what I am doing or if I am doing it right, so having the team support and plan my workouts is just what I need! I’ve also met some lovely people! I’m starting out with 2 workouts a week and hope to add to this soon!

Steph 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I signed up for women’s small group coaching in October for an 8 week block and have not looked back! Riley is a great coach and made me feel less nervous right from the start, and has really got me back into fitness and loving it! The community at Be More Athlete is so welcoming - everyone encourages each other no matter what your level! It is honestly the best decision I made and has massively improved my mental health and my fitness and I would recommend it to anyone (our group ranges from 25-60 and we are all still going 7 months on!)

Lydford Natalie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Best place to train in the area! Fantastic coaches who have helped me become a better person physically and mentally. I couldn’t imagine BMA not being part of my everyday life now. I encourage all my friends to try out a class and have made some amazing new friends too. Thanks so much Riley, Alex and Toogi - can’t wait to see what the future holds! xx

alexandra lemon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The best gym around The encouragement you get from the coaches and everyone else really makes you want to go and do your best every time! BMA has completely changed how I feel towards training, I now look forward to going and I’m physically and mentally in a better place since I’ve joined! Thank you

ChloeALewis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: BeMoreAthlete is so much more than a gym. I’ve been training with Coach Al for some time and he makes exercise fun and enjoyable. I’m constantly learning and pushing myself whilst having a laugh. Not something I ever associated with a gym before this. Everyone there is so welcoming, it is a real community I could never go to another gym, this one is too special.

Alexander Abrey 2 years ago

BeMoreAthlete

Thanks for the kind words Matt! We love watching your progression in the gym and how you've joined our community so effortlessly.

Alex Thomson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Less of a gym and more of a second home now! I was slightly intimidated by the type of workouts having not come from a lifting background of any kind, but all worries were instantly put to bed as soon as I stepped through the door as you quickly sense the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Al, Ri and Soph have created a sporting environment that truly welcomes everyone of all backgrounds & abilities, not only through fitness but the regular socials they put on. 4months in and I can’t get enough, the BMA addiction is real!

Stephen Green 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Alex and Riley are an amazing pair, can motivate the most resistant of people, me being one! A great evolving facility with the latest gear, and a friendly supportive environment and wider social events. Forget the chain gyms, go bespoke #bemoreathlete

Fantastic experience: Amazingly friendly gym for newbies and those who are looking to enhance their fitness. Good range of exercises, functional fitness, gymnastics movements to classic strength and conditioning 'throw downs!'. Cannot rate the instructors highly enough. Whatever your training needs they will accommodate and support you. I have been training with Alex and Riley for over 3 years now and honestly have never felt better.

BeMoreAthlete

Thanks so much Bev... 3 amazing years! Many more to come.
