Hybrid Fitness, West End

Fantastic experience: Hybrid Fitness is a unique combination of Exercise Class and Personal Training which is both inclusive to those of all abilities and has the atmosphere to push you when you need it. You can also use it as a normal gym but the real value is in the classes which are focused either on Strength, Endurance or HIIT. The vibe and expertise are second to none. Probably the best gym in Southampton (and I've been to most of them! ). The owner Chris makes the classes encouraging and hilarious and in the last few months I've been hitting PBs on multiple lifts. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Great space, great coaching and an even better workout….highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A gym experience like nothing I've had before! Atmosphere is so friendly and fun, Chris and the other trainers channel their expertise in a way that makes working out feel dynamic, specialised, comfortable and fun. I haven't been exercising and have just recovered from surgery, but Chris listens, tailors and supports your experience in the class to be right for your fitness level as well as safe too. Well worth the money, there's such a sense of community that I'm really looking forward to experiencing too!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and feal at ease on joining, Chris and other members very supportive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to sessions at Hybrid for just over a month now and I absolutely love it. I am far from the fittest person you’ll ever meet, and you won’t see me run unless I’m being chased. Despite this, Chris manages to offer realistic options for each exercise. Everything is demo’d before you start so you know exactly what you’re doing, and Chris is always more than happy to help out if something slips your mind halfway through. This allows me to get a meaningful workout whilst building my confidence and technique. You are pushed to do your best every session, but it’s done in a really supportive way. The sense of community in the gym is great, and while there are some members who seem to be superhuman with the things they achieve, there are no ego’s. You can feel everyone’s rooting for one another. I would recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of ability. On top of all that, it’s so nice to have a small business, being run by someone local. Chris is passionate about offering a great quality service, as well as being invested personally in the area. 10/10, thank you Hybrid.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Hybrid Fitness trying out their HIIT class. Chris is super welcoming, knowledgeable and motivating which I absolutely loved. To complete a class like that, you need the energy of your trainer to be UP THERE - and that’s exactly what he brought forward. Chris kept pacing around supervising and pushing us all the way through in a way that felt personalised and therefore effective. Equipment is great, class concept fun and engaging which made me keen to try out their other types of classes. I would strongly recommend trying out training at Hybrid Fitness

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough of Chris and Hybrid Fitness. After years of struggling to stay motivated at gyms, Chris’ approach to exercise has been a breath of fresh air. Fantastic classes in which Chris and his team tailor to your ability and constantly keep you motivated to strive to progress at your pace. The whole concept feels so much more relaxed with the extra bonus of PT style tuition. Don’t think twice about going along for a trial, you’ll not look back!

Fantastic experience: I'm 60 years old, unfit and slightly over weight. Met Chris during the open days prior to the gym opening. I immediately felt relaxed just talking with Chris. Opted for a "one free" trial session. I struggled, but went home and signed up immediately. I felt inspired, and confident. There's no judgement, a great atmosphere and a community feel, I've met so many great people who all support each other. Best decision I ever made. Always looking forward to my class/session and pushing myself to be the best version of myself. This wouldn't have happened at a regular gym. Thanks Chris, I owe you.

Fantastic experience: Where to begin? The team at Hybrid is amazing! Firstly, Chris and Steve were both so welcoming during our first session, introducing us not only to the equipment we would be using but also to other members, so within moments of walking in, we felt like we were part of the team. Then we began, starting off with a demo of all the exercises/movements we would be doing, along with some warm-up stretches to prepare for the upcoming movements. These were demonstrated very well by the coaches, who also explained adaptations depending on ability. Then, onto the session itself. The coaches walked around during the 3:15 burst, giving expert guidance on how to improve form, or if they felt you required some adaptation, they would work with you to get the most out of your time in this 'pod'. This energetic and genuine support really sets Hybrid apart from other places! I highly recommend giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommmend Hybrid, Chris made my 2 week trial really enjoyable. Already signed up for the monthly, it’s a great environment and how all gyms should be.

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant about attending the classes at first due to the little effort I've put into my overall fitness in recent years, however, I am so glad I gave it a go. Chris, the owner and instructor, has been incredible in providing motivation and support in all his sessions. He ensures that everyone in the class feels welcome and challenged, whilst tailoring the experience to your personal ability. I recommend you give Hybrid Fitness a go!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start…. Chris initially met me before the Gym had opened, so I could have a look round It had everything that you could possibly wish for in a gym He was approachable and knowledgeable I attended strength classes both yesterday and today and just one word WOW Chris looked after me from the moment I walked through the door to the minute I left He guided me through every part of the class And although there was 16 in the class, he made me feel like I was the only one there I think it is extremely good value for money after my two week trial is up I am not going to hesitate in joining on a monthly basis. I don’t usually write reviews, but credit where credit is due Also thanks to Steve who works alongside Chris ensuring everyone has the right technique and is training safely Chris, I wish you all the best, and thank you for making the start of my journey with Hybrid, a very positive one I can see the hard work and the passion that has already gone into your new venture and I feel privileged to be a part of it Zoe

Fantastic experience: I've just completed my first ever hiit session at hybrid, I am very unfit and was highly anxious about joining. The owner Chris met with me beforehand and talked through everything with me and gave me confidence to attend. Once at the session I found myself to be in an incredibly supportive environment. Chris is an absolute master at motivating and encouraging you throughout. Everybody else was lovely and I found myself having a great time, 50 minutes flew by in what seemed like 10 minutes. I'd recommend this place for everyone, especially if you have some nerves or anxiety about gyms. I am looking forward to my next sesson already. Thankyou Chris.

Fantastic experience: I lost my confidence with exercise but decided I needed to push myself! Spent the whole of Nov/Dec talking myself into it, took the plunge with the 2 week trial and now I’m hooked! Chris and team are really easy going and welcoming of all abilities! I can feel myself getting stronger with each session I will find my abs

Fantastic experience: Really accessible class, knowledgable owner/instructor who tailored things for my level of fitness, made the class enjoyable but still a great workout. Recommend to anybody who finds gyms a bit scary to go to sometimes, because it wasn’t scary at all!
