Be:Unique Wellbeing

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment, a good place to train and unwind

Fantastic experience: At Be:Unique Paul has built an environment where you can feel comfortable in developing confidence and consistency in an inclusive gym setting, with the focus on encouraging and supporting wellbeing as a whole and not just on physical aesthetic. You have personal guidance from Paul and the team who genuinely care about members and want to help you to achieve your own goals. A special mention to Greg who always goes above and beyond to help support members, giving useful tips and making you feel welcome at every session. You’re more than just a member at Be:Unique, you feel part of a community. I would highly recommended for anyone who is considering joining.

Fantastic experience: I started this year, like many others, wanting to get in shape and get fitter. I wasn’t in bad health, but I’m approaching 40, work in an office and as a father of two young kids my dad bod was beginning to get the better of me. I felt self conscious at the swimming pool and was buying a size larger in all my clothes. I reached out to Paul at BeUnique after seeing the boot camps run at Victoria Park. I said my goal was to take back control and get in better shape, but to do this in a way that had structure and would last and not just a quick fix that I couldn’t sustain. I’ve never been a member of a gym and so the thought of starting was dawnting. Right away Paul made me very comfortable. He worked with me to ensure that I was able to work around a busy life and we started working on building short and long term goals that felt achievable. The gym is full of a lovely bunch of people and I never felt out of place. Fast forward 10 months and I am loving the gym and my sessions with Paul. I’ve lost weight, got in better shape and my mental health has improved dramatically as a result. I look good, feel good and have way more energy and enthusiasm. BeUnique is a great place to go for a first timer and someone that has been going to the gym their whole life. Paul and his team are all great and would highly recommend you pay a visit to see what you can get from it!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? I’ve been coming to this gym since it opened for massage, but never as an actual member. I live with chronic pain and I’ll be honest, I avoided doing gym work because cardio can knock me out for days. However, things had to change, I had put on weight, I felt lethargic and it was time for a change. I decided to take advantage of the 6 week course, to see whether it was for me and if I could fit going to the gym into my busy schedule. 6 weeks with a weekly PT session. There was a lot to learn, setting up of weights, how to use the equipment etc. However, I’ve never looked back and wish I had done this years ago. I originally joined to try and lose weight and try and support my health with going through the menopause and managing my chronic pain. However, my mindset has changed. I’ve not lost loads of weight, but I have lost inches and more importantly, I’m stronger. I’m lifting more than I ever thought I could imagine, I’m motivated by my PT and the gym itself is like a little gym family and I look forward to going. What have they done to me? I cannot recommend the gym and the team highly enough, from rehab to strength training, to having a laugh and a community spirit. Take the plunge, try it out, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gym I've ever seen

Fantastic experience: The complete antithesis of a Pure Gym which is perfect for me. Great PTs who genuinely care, all the equipment you need and a real feeling of community. Couldn’t recommend the gym or Paul Shannon more highly. Get yourself in there in the New Year!

Fantastic experience: I was anti gym before joining here, the normal, ‘can’t be bothered’ or ‘it’s too far away’ or ‘can never get on the equipment!’ Well BeUnique has changed my attitude. Great well equipped gym, friendly people, more like a health community with lots of extra curricular meet ups etc. A wealth of knowledge between the staff. A gym family for all ages!

Fantastic experience: After spending a lot of money at a lot of gyms to rarely attend or use the running machine once a month out of guilt, I decided it was time to find a gym that I could feel comfortable in by knowing what I'm meant to be doing. The benefit of be:unique for me has been the 1:1 sessions which provide you with the foundations to use loads of the equipment. This has totally changed how I see and use the gym. Paul and jordan are ±really friendly and supportive. The smaller size also helps prevent the feeling of being overwhelmedlike in other gyms. Definitely recommend this place

Fantastic experience: This is the only gym I’ve been too that makes you feel more like being part of a community. Paul (owner) and Jord (PT) made me feel very welcome and have guided me to results I didn’t feel possible. It’s not all about getting into shape but they are always on hand if I need to discuss dietary or mental requirements which them. If only I found a gym like this years ago. Would recommend this gym to anyway

Fantastic experience: Great experience and motivation

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great team. Paul and his team have worked hard to create a truly unique experiance.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, fantastic set up in terms of equipment, support, space and community

Fantastic experience: Fantastic wellbeing challenge. Genius idea that has created fantastic camaraderie

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great people and very supportive

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve ever been too, with a personalised service that goes above and beyond any other gym. A real sense of community creates a buzz and lack of judgment. I haven’t even mentioned the top class coaching and equipment...there’s tons of that as well. Love it!

Fantastic experience: State of the art equipment, a great environment to workout in with excellent staff always there to give you a helping hand if required. Always a friendly face to see if you’re ok or happy with a workout or goals you want to achieve, all made easier with different advice etc for different goals and schedules.. BEST GYM AROUND.

Fantastic experience: A sensational gym. Paul and his team are attentive, professional and offer incredible service in what is one of the most beautiful gyms around. Highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Great environment and really friendly atmosphere between both trainers and clients. Have made a ton of progress since starting. Would recommend to anyone starting out, or coming back I to training.

Fantastic experience: Great team - always there to support their members. Even through the Covid lockdown, they are looking at ways they can support the community - the wellbeing challenge has been a lot of fun, but more importantly, got me doing more exercise than I've done in a long time. Thank you

Fantastic experience: All members will support you working at your own pace but will encourage you to press your limits Feels comfortable, is clean and caters for all abilities The Trainers have plenty of positive energy and knowledge, they are always eager to help and they make our workouts fun and educational Great classes often with assorted workout combinations that are beneficial to our overall well-being

Fantastic experience: Be unique and it’s community provides a comfortable, supportive and relaxed environment to train and look after your all round health and well being. It’s more than a gym, it’s a positive and energetic setting to help people of all ages and goals. My family and I have seen wholesale changes to our lives because of the support and guidance of Paul and the team. We now are educated and equipped with the skills to manage our health and well being, all with a realistic and balanced approach. I can’t speak highly enough about the truly unique place.

Fantastic experience: Be unique is a fantastic community. It is the first gym I have felt truly comfortable. Its clients and team of coaches are friendly, encouraging and accessible. The gym offers lots of support, different classes, workout ideas and advice. Its focusses on encouraging and supporting wellbeing as a whole and not just on physical aesthetic. It is a truly inclusive place and I really love being a member.

Fantastic experience: I have known Paul Shannon for circa 15 years and find him to be a most professional and likeable PT. His Gym is well equipped, COVID safe, members only and provides health, fitness and nutritional help. Nothing is too much trouble for Paul and his team and I can highly recommend Be:Unique, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: This place, Paul, the trainers and the other members has changed my life! I was previously, pretty anti-gym, insomuch as I felt that they were hubs for “meathead” show-offs and posers. But here at Be:Unique, there’s a really encouraging, community spirit with the majority of members being busy, fellow professionals and parents. My teenage son and his friend learnt enormously about lifting, boxing and fitness in a responsible, caring environment too! I love the place and highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Great gym in a good central location. The equipment is top of the range and very well maintained. The instructors provide a very professional and personal service which I haven’t experienced at any other gym. There is no judgment or intimidation only positivity and encouragement from staff and members. I really do feel like I’m part of an amazing community at Be Unique, I know I have made some life long friends.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Paul for a few years now, and been at the gym since it opened its doors. I’ve trained at a couple of gyms in Plymouth, but this is by far the best gym. Everyone that comes thorough the door speaks and is made to feel welcome, no-one is judged, we are all there to train. The trainers are all very good, and certainly know their stuff. The gym is also very clean, unlike some I’ve been in. Would definitely recommend Be:Unique.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Be:Unique since Paul Shannon opened this brilliant members only gym. I have previously been a member at a number of gym’s over the years and this is genuinely the best. Great equipment, really friendly members, advice on all aspects of health, fitness and nutrition, Covid safe and Paul Shannon is the ultimate professional as well as being a really nice guy. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Paul for years and he has now created a gym where most importantly people can feel comfortable knowing that’s its one big group of like minded friendly people. There are all shapes, sizes and different levels of fitness - which the team tailor workouts to so everyone can achieve their goals. Don’t expect quick wins, diets or fad workouts and promises you will lose 2 stone in a week! Do expect honesty, tailored plans, nutritional expertise, and a realistic goal. The gym itself - modern, top of the range equipment, studio, reception with drinks and a playlist that takes you back to dance floor of the 90s (not all the time ). Regular classes both morning and evening. Top bunch of trainers, who are always there to support you.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in Plymouth. Having tried many in Plymouth and failing in my goals, I genuinely believe I will achieve what I need to here. I don't feel out of place here, there's no egos. A completely unpretentious place with great staff, members and equipment. Staff offer great support both in and out of the gym. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: I had been training with Paul for a year before he opened the gym. Fantastic to see his vision become a reality. A brilliant place to train with a friendly bunch of members of all ages. Excellent equipment. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a welcoming place to train.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been too. Staff are very supportive, helpful & friendly. Great atmosphere. I love it!

Fantastic experience: As a whole this is the best gym I've ever been part of. Your not just a member here your part of a big family at Be:Unique, as your well looked after by all the staff, owner and even the members. Your pushed to your own ability that pushes you further to reach your goals and to do better next time. I love the fact more that Be:Unique are so understanding when life gets in the way and out of kindness they gave us support to feel safe at the gym as a relief of the outside world. Your the best guys thank you.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Plymouth. The staff are so amiable and great at putting you through your paces. I have been with the personal trainer for many years and the quality he and the staff offer are unmatched. It has all the state of the art equipment and the team offer great HIIT sessions and circuits as well. Definitely the go to gym in Plymouth!!

Fantastic experience: Can describe this gym in 4 words Professional Inclusive Supportive Spotless Professional - all the staff are very very good at their job - you can tell as soon as you converse with any of them that it is a passion rather than a vocation. Inclusive - this gym supports every body shape out there, every standard of physical ability no one takes a president here all are welcomed equally. Supportive - not only do you receive all the support you need from the dedicated staff but also from every member of the gym - the classes are more like a community than anywhere else I have ever trained. Spotless - I have never worked out in any gym with such a high standard of hygiene- it truly is a pleasure to train here.

Fantastic experience: Having been a member at other gyms who focus more on numbers through the doors, I was underwhelmed by my fitness regime but knew there must be something better out there. I then discovered Be Unique Wellbeing and knew from the moment I stepped in that this was where I'd reach my physical and mental fitness goals. My confidence grew, my self-esteem raised and my waist line firmed up to pre-baby sizes. If you want to be strong, part of an awesome, all-encouraging, welcoming team, have a laugh when working out then this is absolutely the place for you. Everyone is equal in this gym and everyone is made to feel valued.

Fantastic experience: I have only recently joined Be Unique and I am so happy I made the decision to do so. The facilities are fantastic and although I’ve only tried a few classes they have been great. The difference from any other gym I’ve been to is that everyone is very friendly and you feel like you are becoming part of a family, whether in the gym or a class, this is supported by a closed community social page. This is all clearly made possible by the wonderful team who are incredibly friendly and supportive of your goals, encouraging you every step of the way. I have no doubt that Be Unique will be a significant step towards me achieving my fitness and mental wellness goals. Thank you guys, looking forward to my continued journey with you.

Fantastic experience: Be:Unique is a brilliant gym. Members are really friendly and everyone who works there is really helpful. It has a real community feel and I have always felt very supportive. It has a friendly, positive atmosphere and the gym is very well equipped and kept clean. I have achieved so much since joining this gym. I would def recommend to anyone wanting to make a positive change.
