Gymophobics Belper

Fantastic experience: Had a good workout. We're regulars going at least twice a week. Keeps us fit!

Fantastic experience: I joined gymophobics 5 months ago and what a change it has made to my life and health in a positive way. I love going to the gym and having the support of a friendly, supportive team , plus education on fitness , health, dietary measures and social activities . It took alot of courage to walk through the front door having never used a public gym. . It began with two visits a week , then three now I choose to go six times aweek of thirty minute sessions! All aspects of my health has improved and weightloss has exceeded my expectations in just 5 months.I've still got some work to do but I will get there! I'm 67 and I am convinced that this small investment will pay off dividends in my future years improving overall my general health and mobility. Let's not forget the fun we have as an exclusive ladies gym with friendly attentive staff ..thanks Gymophobics!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant for your wellbeing, friendly and always helpful. 30 mins 3 times a week to keep fit and healthy.

Fantastic experience: I joined Gymophobics Belper whilst waiting for a hip replacement. It made so much difference to my recovery. Can't thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: I began attending Gymophobics Belper after a lifetime of stop start exercise and yo yo dieting, none of which was enjoyable or lasting. I’m 66 and could feel strength waning. Signing up for 12 months was a big deal for me but the motivation of that really helped! All the staff are just amazing, knowledgeable, kind, understanding and supportive in ways tailored to the individual. I just LOVE this gym, it has honestly been life changing and life affirming. The women only atmosphere is so embracing and there are women of all ages attending who quietly encourage each other with humour and love. Yes, I’ve lost weight but more importantly, I’m fitter in ways that can be clearly measured, recovery time, muscle mass, visceral fat etc etc. and I’ve lost a total of 13 plus inches since February. I would recommend this to absolutely any woman who wants to change and needs that special support. Thanks Gymophobics ❤️

Fantastic experience: I started as a member at the Belper branch of Gymophobics in October 2019. I joined because I'd lost about 3 stone and wanted to tone up and lose wobble. I've been doing my circuit 3 times per week pretty consistently since then, with the odd break for things like holidays and bereavement. My body has noticeably changed. I have muscle definition that I didn't ever think I would. I now realise the importance of resistance exercise for women especially. I am building my old lady body, an investment in my future. I joined initially because I liked that it was women only, it only took half an hour, it's a friendly environment, there are always instructors around making sure you're doing your exercises correctly, regular programme reviews to keep it challenging - promoted progression and that the booking system runs in conjunction with the buzzer system meaning you really are in and out in half an hour. I still love all of these things about it and wouldn't go to a regular gym if Gymophobics wasn't in my hometown. Disclosure: I am now an instructor at the gym. I love my job. The team are superb to work with and the atmosphere is unlike any other work environment I've experienced. I love helping the members achieve their goals and seeing them experience the benefits of resistance training. I've learned a phenomenal amount about how bodies work and nutrition since I started; it's really become a passion that I share with members in the gym and online in our various groups. I enjoy work nights out and gym socials too. Come and check us out - you won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Love my 30 minute time here. Staff are always really friendly and helpful. Can definitely feel the benefit after just 6 weeks.

Fantastic experience: Friendly place, staff always smiling and helpful. I started attending 4 years ago as an alternative to increasing my medication for fibromyalgia..... I still haven't had to increase it. Thank you Gymophobics

Fantastic experience: Good experience will start my programme this week

Fantastic experience: I’m no gym bunny but the warmth, kindness and supportiveness of the staff is amazing and every visit is fun and motivating. It feels like one big lovely community and we need more of that these days. Plus I’m getting healthier and stronger. What’s not to love.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly atmosphere, staff always ready to assist and answer questions. Everyone chats and no one judges you

Fantastic experience: Only joined last month after 18 months of ..... Thinking about it and talking myself out of it, honestly I really do wish I'd done it back then as I'm now attend 5 days a week and loving it I'm feeling better with myself already and the staff are amazing and always there to help if needed and regular reviews are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: I always love my sessions there! The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It really helps my mental and physical wellbeing to do the circuit in such a positive environment.

Fantastic experience: Ladies only gym, friendly staff who take an interest in you and ensure the exercises are being done correctly. Makes exercising enjoyable. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Ok so I started at Gymophobics in Belper last Seprember, so going into my 9th month. I try to keep to my mon/weds/fri routine but have missed a few through holidays. The staff could not be more professional or friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My review today showed that I have lost 20lbs and 23 inches off my body!! You have to know me to appreciate the significance of this. I'm not a 'gym' person because I'm generally lazy, hate feeling judged and soon dread going. I joined Gymophobics on the spur of the moment after reading about the programme on my phone somewhere. Women only, no mirrors, peronalised programme and NO treadmills! I truly believe that treadmills are NOT the way to achieve success (spawned by the Devil if you ask me!). I was worried about starting; I was well-obese, without stamina; without any self-esteem. I could hardly peddle the exercise bike because my enormous belly got in the way! Saying my life has changed seems a cliche but it has. Clothes fit and I walk with confidence. Everyone that knows me has seen a positive change in my mental health and outlook. Don't get me wrong, you get out what you put in but it really isn't hard. If it was anything like a 'normal' gym I would never have got this far and I urge any lady with doubts to visit.

Fantastic experience: Tonight would of been my 17th time going to this fab little Gym. I have really noticed the difference in my health over the past few weeks. I don’t know anyone at this gym but that hasn’t made any difference as everyone is so friendly. Equipment is easy to use and there is always a member of staff ready to help you and they review your progress at regular intervals. I don’t know why I didn’t join sooner, it’s a fantastic Gym. Especially geared up for us Ladies :-)) Thanks you

Fantastic experience: Joined 2 months ago, when I started I had acute sciatica, I now have no pain at all!! Haven't had a single pain for a couple of weeks and it's definitely down to going to gymophobics! Thanks for always being welcoming and supportive

Fantastic experience: Not been for a few months but welcomed back this morning with huge smiles and lots of encouragement, if you've fallen of the wagon dont be afraid of returning you'll be made most welcome. Thank you ladies x

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym lovely staff and they do everything possible to keep everyone safe. ❤ it's good value for money too !!!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and helpful - all the instructors are really good and the gym has a very friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Gymphobics is a lovely environment for ladies to go to work out and feel comfortable. All of the team are nice so if you want to get back into excercise, but want to feel supported, then go to Gymphobics

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. Everyone is really friendly. The staff are really helpful and always on hand if you need them. Its by far the best gym I've been to.

Fantastic experience: If you need to get moving and maybe meet like-minded people, join this gym and be assured there are no ‘poseurs’ or people who’ll make you feel uncomfortable. It’s great fun and only takes 1/2 hour to feel fitter

Fantastic experience: I joined in November and it has been a very positive experience, very welcoming and supportive atmosphere, and doing 30 minutes 3 times a week feels manageable and something I will stick with.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym to belong to. Ladies only. Very friendly, helpful. Love it. Such a lovely place to go. 30 minute circuit, and wow makes you feel so good as well. Come on ladies, come and join us, you won't regret it. X

Fantastic experience: A ladies only gym using various resistance techniques to tone, strengthen and help with general fitness. For many ladies, weight and inch loss are achieved. Sara and the team are professional, friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. The programme is tailored to each individual to ensure the best results to personal goals providing regular reviews and programme tweaks to maximise the training effect. I would thoroughly recommend Gymophobics to any lady of any age who wishes to get fitter, stronger and to make new friends.

Fantastic experience: Wish I'd joined years ago! The resistance machines are tailored to an individual programme which is regularly reviewed for maximum benefit. There is always an instructor on hand to correct form/demonstrate or offer advice and there is such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Gymphobics is a great way to feel better in a comfortable and safe environment. The staff are extremely helpful, always there to assist you. Better than any standard gym as you get the personal touch!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best gym I have ever joined. Supportive and helpful staff and a fun and friendly atmosphere. We often have a good laugh too which makes exercising fun.

Fantastic experience: Becoming a member at Gymophobics is one of the best things I have done for my health and fitness. The circuit takes half an hour and is easy to fit in to your day, and there are plenty of add on extras you can do. The staff are super helpful, supportive and friendly. The ambience of the gym is great, and you can feel comfortable there no matter your shape, size or age. I can highly recommend Gymophobics Belper!

Fantastic experience: I have never been a member of a gym before, never felt the urge to, but last year coming out of the first lock down I felt I needed to do something. My husband died in 2020 so I wanted to venture out and be with people. I am so glad I called in to Gymophobics they are so friendly and helpful and I enjoy the sessions so much. I am 72 years old so if you have any reservations about joining a gym I can thoroughly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I am not a fan of gyms. I have joined so many in the past, paid my subs and not actually gone. Gymophobics is SO different! Ladies only, all ages, no Lycra clad gym bunnies, no sweaty men lifting weights. Belper gymophobics is welcoming, encouraging, friendly, supportive…… the staff are just great. The ladies who attend are lovely and friendly. I am SO pleased my friend encouraged me to go. The circuit takes just 30 mins….. hopefully three times a week…. What’s not to love? I aim to get fitter, feel more energetic and I am sure that with the support of Sara and her team I will get there!!!!! At last!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Joined July 22 having thought about it for 2 years! Wish I’d acted sooner, such a friendly gym, great staff and an enjoyable workout. Regular reviews are so helpful with encouragement from the team to work on your goals. Can highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: An all female Gym all ages attend. Personal fitness routine and planned by the trainers to suit your individual requirements. Friendly staff and extremely helpful and efficient. Everyone has there own goal to meet. With 6 weekly reviews to check your progress. A must for all Gym phobs go and along for your induction.

Fantastic experience: Gymophobics has always been welcoming. The staff make you feel very capable and help to encourage you to set goals to achieve results. People that go are all really friendly and its actually a very enjoyable experience not something to worry about. There are all ages that go and everyone respects each other. I would definitely recommend giving it a try , but if you feel worried just pop in first for a chat and I can guarantee you will feel like joining. It is not like the normal gyms when you feel unsure of what to do on each machine. A careful programme is made out for you so you don't need to think about what to do on each machine you follow your personal programme card and the 30 minutes goes very quickly. I can highly recommend Gymophobics Belper for a friendly enjoyable experience and you will even get fit at the same time!!

Fantastic experience: Had my induction this evening and haven’t felt more at ease by anyone. All the ladies there are so welcoming and friendly. If you don’t enjoy the gym because of confidence issues then this is the place to be. I Don’t think I have been excited to go and exercise so thank you for making this experience enjoyable and fun x

Fantastic experience: Not your regular gym. This is a fantastic place! I joined as I am not comfortable with 'normal' gyms and the atmosphere in them. I have always been very self concious of my abilities and at 'normal' gyms and those kind of establishments there has always been an element of 'not fitting in' or 'not looking a certain way'. There has been fitness instructors that I never felt are interested in what I want or any progress. After your first induction you are just left to your own devices. I joined Gymophobics last year and have been really impressed with it. From day one it is so welcoming and all the staff genuinely do care and genuinely take an interest. You can have regular updates and measurements. You get a personalised programme to suit you and your ability and progress can be tracked and changes made to your programme. They have loads of advice and help for all aspects of health, diet, exercise and well being. Everyone I have met that either works there or are a member are very friendly. The facilities are extremely clean and cleaning equipment can be found at each exercise station for wiping before and/or after usage. I have not felt at any Covid risk using any of the equipment. The exercise equipment is also different to those found in a 'normal' gym too. The equipment at Gymophobics is joint friendly, comfortable :) and easy to use. Staff give you guidance as much or as little needed and if after a few weeks you are used to the exercises and you want to have more resistence, then you can update and improve your programme. Each station is used for 3 minutes so it's a great workout in half an hour but there are more options if you want to workout more - there are online workouts and other equipment. Give it a go - if I can you can. There's no mirrors! There's music and friendly faces. xx

Fantastic experience: I joined Gymophobics in Belper, June 2019, I wanted to get fitter and lose weight for my daughters wedding in December 2019. I managed to lose inches and 1.5stone by the December. Loved my time at the gym. I carried on until Covid hit...I was furloughed from work with no gym so I decided to do my own workout at home to keep me sane and managed to lose a further stone. My hours at work were cut so couldn't afford to carry on my gym contract. However, after a few months of missing my time at the gym, I recalculated my wages and joined up again. Since starting I've lost over 40 inches all over and so far, nearly 4 stone in weight. I feel fabulous . Thank you to all the staff for their encouragement. I've met some lovely people there too. Carry on the good work, Gymophobics Belper. If you are thinking of joining, do it...you won't regret it. I love it. Karen

Fantastic experience: I joined on advice from a Chiropractor to help an injury in my lower back and its really helped build up my core muscles to get me moving again. I've found the 30 minute circuit really easy to fit into the day, no waiting for machines to come free which was a problem at the other gym. The staff are lovely and always happy to give support and advice. The fact that its women only means I don't have to worry about feeling awkward or self conscious while I'm working out either which has kept me motivated.

Fantastic experience: excellent

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Great caring staff. They made taking the next step that much easier. A safe clean space with a great group of people. No judgement all journeying through together

Fantastic experience: Since joining qt the end of April i have lost nearly 10ibs, I have gained confidence and starting to feel comfortable in my own skin again. I've stopped worrying as much tha5 I can't wear certain clothes. I have lost inches as well as weight and I have grown more as a person. Thank you for all your help and your confidence building.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy going to Gymophobics, relaxed atmosphere and feels achievable because it's only 30 minutes a session-it flies by!The machines are so simple to use Love it!

Fantastic experience: Gymophobics is fantastic. The staff are really friendly and knowledgable, and the gym is exceptionally clean and well organised. It's a really nice atmosphere where everyone is made to feel welcome, and has a great community feel with lots of events and exercise challenges for members.

Fantastic experience: For those that are gym shy, like me, who dont want cross trainers and treadmills but do want results, this is the place for you. I have been a member for two months and go 3 or 4 times a week; the team are friendly, and review your plan at every 9th visit. Recently I started following a diet based on advice given by one of the very knowledgeable instructors (with scientific reasons thrown in to back it up) and saw results in less than two weeks. Gymphobics Belper has made me enjoy exercise again and motivated me to do more. Come on ladies, give it a try.

Long time for me to get here but so glad I found this place. Hopefully I will be fitter and slimmer as time goes on. Been 3 times this first week and loved it. X
