Total recommend the course and to also check out the gym. Friendly gym, the staff are friendly and welcoming. It's well equipped if you are wanting to get fit and strong.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Really friendly, great advice and help when needed. Never been to a gym where they have been so determined to have the best available equipment for their members. More than competitive price too! You get more than you pay for!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this Gym since it's small beginnings many years ago and could not see myself going anywhere else. Although it has grown to the amazing facility it is today it has never lost its personal touch. It has a family vibe, from all the Staff to the members. Everyone knows eachother, but not in a sad clicky way, but with the encouragement eachother gives makes you believe that your dreams are achievable. I have so much to thank this Gym for over the years, mentally and physically, I would recommend anyone to come and join the Youssef Strength family. Pete

Fantastic experience: Been training at Johns Gym for the last few years, a fantastic training environment and fully equipped. The classes are amazing, I would highly recommend if you’re are starting out your fitness journey or if you want to build on your existing levels, it’s the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Personal training course was amazing, John is so knowledgeable and such a genuine guy. Teaches so much more than just the fundamentals, I feel so confident to go and start training people already. Can’t thank you enough for all the work you put into the course. Would definitely recommend taking the jump if you’re thinking about doing it go for it!! Best thing I’ve done! Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Ive just finished 2 months online coaching with John and couldn’t be happier with the results! 8 weeks ago I had reached a point where I was really unhappy with my weight, appearance and an all round feeling of laziness. Today, I’m 7kg lighter, my clothes fit better, I’m stronger and feel much better about myself. I’ve managed to kick a few bad habits and start a few much better ones, which are helping me maintain where I want to be. John’s approach was really good and fitted perfectly with my busy lifestyle. I work away a lot and have two small kids, so a strict diet and gym programme wasn’t really high on my list of priorities! The online coaching kept me accountable and gave me attainable goals, which I’m now comfortable working towards on my own at the gym. If you’re feeling like I was, give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I started training with John to help build my strength back up after a serious illness. The progress has been amazing over the last 4 months and I now feel stronger and fitter than ever. The program is motivational and sessions enjoyable, with the atmosphere really friendly and welcoming in the gym. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This without doubt the best gym, with the best classes and the best trainers. John is so knowledgable and always wants to help you in your fitness journey. His classes are so good and varied, often other gym members can be abit clicky in classes but not this gym. The staff are friendly and know your name quickly. Would highly recommend to anyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Amazing personal training course ran by the most down to earth but knowledgeable people John and Angela. Had the best 10 weeks and learnt so much, met the loveliest people and the gym itself has the most welcoming atmosphere with all the best equipment. Couldn’t recommend enough, gutted that it’s over! Thank you so much John and Ange x

Fantastic experience: Motivational, inspirational - would definitely recommend. I sent my 16 year old son to John initially for a personal training session weekly to develop his strength to enhance other sports he takes part in. John is so specialist and knowledgeable in his field but also warm & friendly and my son really enjoys his time with John so much so that he joined the Youssef Personal Training Academy to develop his knowledge and broaden his future career option. Can't thank John enough for inspiring & sharing his wisdom with my son.

Fantastic experience: I recently passed the level 3 PT course here at Youssef strength academy and couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone looking to become a certified PT. The course is extremely well structured and teaches you everything you need to become an effective PT from demonstrating how to perform different exercises to making your own session plan. The atmosphere in the gym is also great and your being taught by someone who is very knowledgeable in fitness and training industry as a whole.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend the L3 personal training course enough! Lovely atmosphere at the gym and I gained so much knowledge and confidence whilst having a great time there. Ange really helps motivate you and helps you through all the written work. Highly recommend the gym and their courses.

Fantastic experience: One of the best things I’ve done was signing up for a PT course at this gym. John and the other people who work there are really motivated in bringing out the best in people and not just all about making money which is really evident in their commitment and investment in people. Feels more like a sense of community than just a gym and so glad I signed up.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great people. I did my Level 3 Personal Training course with John and Angela and gained so much knowledge and confidence while having a great time. Highly recommend the gym and their courses.

Fantastic experience: Youssef Strength has a great atmosphere, and classes all very different, so no 2 are the same, which is great motivation. I have formed some great friendships since starting here and find everyone very supportive of each other. Great mix of males and females and abilities, so you never feel left behind.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym and supplement store. My strength has improved a lot since I came to this gym and started to train here. John is always on hand to help and is very knowledgeable/passionate about weightlifting and supplementation. 5*.

He also sells his own brand which covers weights hoodies t-shirts vests jackets the list goes on. There is also a shop in the front which sells meals coffee protein bars and the best tasting shakes! The staff are great and always around to help! John is a brilliant personal trainer who offers every kind of training that suits everyone from beginners to elite.The gym is friendly and welcomes everyone. It is and will always be the best gym in the area!!

Fantastic experience: Having never set foot in a gym before, I must admit I was apprehensive about going to my first class but that didn't last long. The encouragement I received from the coaches and other members was amazing and I haven't looked back. I never once felt like anyone was judging my fitness, or rather lack of, and thanks to all their help I'm fitter and stronger than I have ever been. Thanks team USC, proud to be part of the family.

Fantastic experience: Amazing motivational atmosphere. I've never experienced a gym that provides such a team oriented vibe. Members motivate other members along side the coaches. Coaches are all fantastic. Classes are brilliant. Love it.

Fantastic experience: A friendly gym were you get results! The staff are dedicated to improving your fitness levels and achieving goals and gains. I would recommend this gym to anyone and the staff are brilliant in ensuring you are supported and made to feel comfortable..

Fantastic experience: I just love USC Gym and what it stands for and I highly recommend if you want to improve any physical or mental aspect of your life. I personally have lost over 30lbs in weight and am now medication free from a few ailments I have had for many years. This improvement in my body and mind was all down to the excellent PT coaches who take a person interest in your improvement. USC coaches supply you with a world of information on training and nutrition, in addition to this they have all the facilities available from weights, group and one on one curcuit sessions which aid you to succeed in any area of fitness or weightloss. I have always used council or large chain gyms and always felt disconnected from instructors or members but everyone is one big family at USC Gym and what made it really appealing to me is that it is for all ages and fitness levels. I can honestly say this place has changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: Who is looking to join a boss gym, which has a owner who is passionate about his business and the fitness goals of each of his member. A gym that has great coaches who thrive on the progression of all its members. A gym where the owner and the coaches all offer excellent one on one sessions. A gym that has a boss atmosphere where everyone is like a family member A gym that is like no other. If thats the case get yourself to USC GYM in formby village. Located above M&S.

Fantastic experience: This is a really good, friendly and real feel independently owned gym. The owner and staff are very approachable, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable. They are empathetic and patient and treat everyone as an individual. Their sense of achievement and motivation is passed on to everyone who trains there and makes for a welcoming, motivating and electric atmosphere. All levels of fitness catered for from all walks of life. Progress is everything.

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of a kind, the atmosphere in the classes motivates you to push yourself further and harder than you thought possible and the trainers keep you going. My fitness, strength and endurance is constantly improving and I feel fitter and healthier at 40 than I've ever felt. If you want to join a gym and get results then join USC, I guarantee you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: Recently moved to the area and not knowing anyone and on my first visit to USC Gym i instantly felt welcomed, like i was part of the team! The sessions are organised and push you to your limit and then more, couldn't ask for more help or encouragement from the staff and hands down the best gym i have joined. I would 100% recommend joining if you're in the area!
