Martin Bartnicki 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had a test session at Fit20, with Duncan as my personal trainer. While I had some prior knowledge about their methods, I must admit I was skeptical about its effectiveness, being a regular gym-goer myself. However, my doubts were swiftly dispelled. Despite the brief duration of approximately 2 minutes per station during the session, I could feel the impact on every muscle. The intensity was such that even two days later, I could still sense the workout, a sensation I rarely experience at my usual gym. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Fit20 a try; it's bound to revolutionize your perspective on exercise.

Dedri Uys 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Last week I completed my 100th session at Fit20 and I could not be more proud of this achievement. I never thought I would meet an exercise I liked, let alone stick with it for this long. I am so much stronger than I was when I started; physically, of course, but also mentally. Apart from these benefits, I also really cherish the dynamic that has evolved between me, my exercise partner/friend, and our brilliant trainer Pete (and all the other trainers we've had the good fortune to work with). Thank you Fit20!

Abigail Pierce 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love going to Fit20 Exeter. I started there in Feb 2022, but in the Sept caught Covid and stopped going. It was only supposed to be a short break… fast forward to Jan 2024! I was feeling generally “meh”, with low energy and had gained weight. Even little things like carrying the shopping had become tougher. So, it was time to make that call! The staff are brilliant and very supportive. I’ve made great progress and almost back to where I was over a year ago. And I’ve lost 3kg in 6 weeks, with only making minor changes to food. Plus the strength I’m gaining at my weekly session is helping with daily walks, mobility and energy levels.

salika aziz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fit20 Exeter is a great place for regaining mobility. I joined when my knees were afflicted with arthritis and any movement was painful; from having a very busy life, I had suddenly become confined by limited movement. The Fit20 team especially Peter Eggleston (manager) devised a programme of exercise such that I can safely say that I'm atleast 50% back to where I was in 8 sessions. I enjoy the sessions and they've definitely eased my mobility issues. Thank you, Fit20!

Fantastic experience: Duncan and his team have been amazing. I've only been with Fit20 for a short while, but it has shown that each week I can become stronger. I've unfortauntely had to stop training for an operation, but will use Fit20 again to help with recover later in 2023.

Dr Pradnya Apte 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: 20 mins training per week and that'll increase your fitness, strength and stamina? I personally thought it was a tall order. However I have to say, I've been training for about 10 months and noticed a remarkable increase in my fitness when I recently had to climb 1800m to reach a village high up in the mountains. I climbed with ease and had no aches or pains later. For a person with a super hectic lifestyle, it's so easy to pack in 20 mins per week and it's certainly something I'd recommend to anyone wanting to increase their fitness and stamina. All the personal trainers are lovely and make you feel completely at ease. Definitely recommend!

fit20 Exeter

Fantastic experience: I was starting to feel my age but steel failing to develop any enthusiasm for excercise.

Connor Bowden 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fit20 has been brilliant for me, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. It is designed to provide maximum results with minimal effort, making it perfect for busy people who struggle to find the time or motivation for regular exercise. What sets Fit20 apart from other gyms is its unique approach to training. The high-intensity resistance training, which helps build strength and increase muscle mass. Unlike traditional workout routines, which can be time-consuming and require a lot of equipment, Fit20's approach is quick, effective, and can be done in just 20 minutes per week. The program not only helps you build strength and increase muscle mass but also helps improve your overall health and wellness. One of the things I love most about Fit20 is the personalised attention the trainers provide. Each session is one-on-one, so you get the individual attention and support needed to achieve results. I highly recommend Fit20 to anyone looking to improve their fitness, health, and overall strength. It has been effective, and efficient, for me making it the perfect choice for me to get fit and healthy without sacrificing too much time or effort.

Debbie Bent 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to Fit20 in August 2022. I was sceptical that just 20 minutes would achieve results but was happy to be proved wrong! I have had a couple of set backs due to unrelated injuries (skiing!) but overall I’m definitely stronger and have even improved my bone density so for me it’s a definite winner. Duncan, Pete & Cam are all very encouraging and keep you going even when it’s tough - thank you team!

Simon Hall 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Not being particularly keen on gyms, but aware of my own body as I progress through life, particularly losing my strength was a concern as being self employed I couldn't afford to take time off work through illness. My curiosity was pricked on how I could remain in my work clothes (jacket and trousers) work out for 20 mins a week and consistently improve my strength. Taking a leap of faith, I first attended fit20, late 2019 and have continued to be a member ever since. Not only has my strength increased, I've been able to maintain my busy work schedule aswell. One of the by products of this training that I've noticed is that I now stand more upright and my body feels more flexible. So, before you discard a 20 minute session a week of changing your life, check out the facts and why not even try a FREE trial session, it's certainly changed my life. Thank you fit20 Exeter

Al Gibson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend fit20 as an ideal service provider of health and fitness in Exeter. In the six months I have been attending the studio on Honiton Road, my overall strength has already improved by 20% and I am just beginning. This has already been life changing for me, as I have so much more energy and no longer feel the need to nap during the day. Sometimes I have attended when I’ve felt awful, and yet I have still been able to complete my 20 minutes. Even when some of the exercises are tough, it’s seconds before they are over! When I cracked a rib, I was in immense pain, every time I turned in bed. I meant to cancel my appointment but reluctantly still went. My trainer, Kamil, was really supportive, and cautious about each exercise, but he didn’t need to be. I was able to do all the exercises, even the back and stomach ones without discomfort. So, no matter how you are feeling, give fit20 a go. They have a free taster session. If you join you will soon see the health and fitness benefits.

fit20 Exeter

Thank you for the amazing review Al It’s great to hear you now have more energy, which gives you the ability to achieve so much more on a daily basis and feel great at the end of it To get results you need to find something you can stick with and it’s lovely to know you still felt able to come when you were feeling low - keep up the great work

David Jaques 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started Fit20 7 months ago. It was my business partner's idea so we have a joint membership and train together. At first I doubted that just 20 minutes a week training was going to make much difference. I couldn't have been more wrong! It has made a huge difference. Anything that involves physical activity is so much easier now and I feel fitter than I have done for years. The trainers are brilliant and the sessions are fun. At the last session my trainer Tobias told me that my overall strength has increased by 47% in the 7 months I've been with Fit20. Result! Can't recommend it too highly.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank Fit20 enough. I joined Fit20 32 weeks ago walking with sticks due to a very progressive neurological condition which sadly has worsened and I now use a walking frame HOWEVER my muscle strength has increased by 99% from when I first started. I can now leg press 160kg from just 44kg! Imagine how I would be without Fit20!?! Jeff and Duncan are great, very supportive, motivational, approachable, encouraging and kind. Thank you Fit20!

We are so pleased you chose fit20 to help you and I will enjoy passing your comments on to the team.

Anthony York 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I first went to Fit20 in March 2019 aged nearly 67 with an open but perhaps slightly skeptical mind. I have now reached the 'milestone' of 100 visits! I would have got there before if not for Covid and being unwell**. There is no doubt that the exercises 'work': I have seen my strength improve, which has helped golf shot length and tennis energy. I really like the intensity for a very short period and finish feeling 'that's done me some good!' ** this was bowel cancer and I mention it because - after a few months recovery - it has not affected my abilities with the exercises and I am nearly back to the weights I was 'pushing' before. Don't let illness put you off! Looking forward to the next 100!!

fit20 Exeter
fit20 Exeter

Thank you ever so much for this wonderful review Anthony We have heard a few times that this has helped people with their golf game and it’s great to hear it helps with your tennis energy too We love your attitude to your health - ‘Don’t let illness put you off’ We’re looking forward to seeing you through your next 100 sessions and hearing all the benefits you get

finley allnutt 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I suffer with back pain but enjoy fitness. However I needed to build up my strength to enable me enjoy fitness again. Fit20 offers a 1-1 service where your progress is monitored and you get immediate advise regarding the best way to work each exercise. After 6 months of attending weekly sessions I am 35% stronger, I have no back pain and off medication. I would highly recommend Fit20

fit20 Exeter
fit20 Exeter

Wow - that’s fantastic! I love it when members tell us they are able to reduce or, in your case, completely stop taking medication for conditions. Living with pain is debilitating so removing can be life changing and it’s heart warming to know we’ve been able to help you achieve this Thank you for the 5 star review

Hayley Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started with Duncan at Fit20 after the first lockdown. I felt I needed something different to help me with my fitness journey. I went for a taster session and a chat about my current health and what my goals were. Duncan was amazing and was able to listen and understand my situation and come up with some ideas for what might be best for me at the time. I started training jointly with a friend so we could encourage each other. I have now been with Duncan at Fit20 for almost 2yrs (in September). And I am so happy. I am stronger and have less back issues than I used to. And although I am still battling health issues, the strength I have built up and meant that the impact has been less than what it would of been. After breaking my oot in November 2021, I was able to start walking on it, unaided and without a boot, within 4 weeks. This was largely part to the conditioning I had been doing previously in my muscles. Thank you so much Duncan.

Hylda Stewart 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love, love, love fit20! Why do I love fit20? I love it because it saves me spending hours in the gym doing endless reps, I love it because it’s so simple to do with no need to get into workout gear (plus no sweating), and I love it because you’re always with a personal trainer so get coaching and can easily track progress and results. Results that you can see and – more importantly – feel. Running is what I do, and I believe as runners we often neglect our upper body strength work, but with fit20 there’s the opportunity to get it done all at the one time – in one 20 minute session a week! How good is that? And apart from the obvious ones of strengthening your muscles and improving your body fitness, the additional benefits are many, such as strengthening your immune system, feeling more energised and lifting your mood. Another big plus for fit20 in Exeter is that it’s friendly, welcoming and non-threatening. Whatever your level of fitness, regardless of what you want to achieve and the targets you set yourself, the trainers are all helpful and encouraging, always giving useful feedback and tips on how to improve your technique and performance. On the occasions when I’ve been paired up with someone else for my session, we’ve motivated one another and it’s been great to find out a bit about their fit20 experience too. If this sounds rather like a promotional piece for fit20, that’s just how I feel about it – I think I might be an addict! I love fit20! It’s great because it really does only take 20 minutes a week, and you can fit it in around work, a trip to the supermarket, meeting a friend for coffee or anything else you’re getting up to. It really is that convenient as you don’t need to get changed into gym gear or have a shower afterwards. And you start seeing results very quickly - meaningful health and psychological benefits as well as the outward physical signs. It’s also helped me with pain management and recovery for a long-standing shoulder injury. The one to one coaching is brilliant and the personal trainers are professional and friendly. Highly recommended! Why not give it a go?

Fantastic experience: As someone that is not a gym bunny, and never has been, I felt slightly nervous about joining a traditional gym and being judged. I decided to do a bit of research on other types of gyms / fitness studios that would allow me to get fitter. I was intrigued and spoke to Duncan, and he offered a free session and show me around the studio. Duncan kindly showed me each piece of equipment and explained what they did and how they worked each muscle. The studio is air conditioned so no need to get changed into any type of gym clothing, just wear your work gear or casual clothing. You can generally train in the studio on your own (with an instructor) so for me there is no need to worry about what other people were thinking. I am really enjoying the experience and, whilst I have only been attending for around 14 weeks, I have found the instructors helpful and encouraging. I like to focus on the iPad and follow the timer, with the instructor then giving some feedback with stats after each workout. In around 15 weeks my core strength has increased by about 34%. I feel better in myself and it’s really helping my golf game. As a keen golfer I have never seen myself as a long driver of the ball, but with each workout my ball striking is getting better and longer. Where I would generally get onto a par 5 in 3 shots, I am now able to get on in 2 and my overall scores are improving. The longest drive I had previously hit was 302 yards (slightly downhill and downwind) and recently I managed 345 yards and 320 uphill. I am really excited about my fitness journey with Duncan and fit20, if you have always been put off about being judged in a gym or struggle for time try a free session and you might even be pleasantly surprised.

Thank you ever so much for this lovely review Andy It’s great to hear how the private nature of our training suits your fitness needs. Even better to know that the exercises are improving your golf game!I know golfers often look for the latest clubs to achieve a longer drive - fantastic to hear it can be done through strength training

Fantastic experience: I have been attending FIT20 for 6 months now and have noticed many improvements in my general well being and strength. I attended and at first was apprehensive as I had a hip issue, but after just a couple of sessions I noticed a big improvement and now the issue has almost gone, as well as the general aches and pains that occur when you are a certain age improving to the point of non existent. Not only am I impressed with the machines and the 1 to 1 training, because frankly, I would find a conventional gym so very intimidating where this is definitely not! The fact it’s also over in 20 minutes is a bonus and easy to fit into my week, the staff are so nice and very accommodating when life dramas happen and I need to change my training slot. If you are in two minds my advice would be go to the free intro session what do you have to lose?

Fantastic experience: Yesterday I experienced a taster session at fit20 Exeter. From the moment of arrival I could see that this was a professional outfit. I was allocated a personal trainer Jeff who was meticulous in explaining the system and how it was different from other fitness regimes. He also took all my details so that he was able to personalise my training programme. Although the thought of becoming fitter in only 20 minutes seems alien to us I was convinced that it would work. This came about by the detailed explanation given by Jeff. I tried out some of the apparatus under the guidance of Jeff which I enjoyed. I cannot recommend fit20 too highly both Duncan the owner and Jeff were very proficient, enthusiastic and positive. They give a very personalised service that is planned for you. Contact them now and give it a try!

Thank you very much for these kind words Paul. It was great to meet you for the first time this week and we’re pleased we exceeded your expectations. It is a very different method of training and one that can only be appreciated by trying it yourself.Thank you for the recommendation, see you soon.

Amanda Peet 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After just 3 months, my core is stronger and I have much more energy. My body is also straighter and the saggy bits that arrived after child birth are starting to disappear bringing me back my pre-child definition I thought I would never see again. I also have bags more stamina when walking up steep hills or swimming with a child around my neck. I can highly recommend the professional and friendly chaps at Fit20.

Fantastic experience: Fit20 is a warm and supportive environment. I have gained a lot from attending weekly for just 20mins and can see the strength gains daily. The trainers take you though everything carefully and with encouragement. Strongly recommend doing the free trial.

Thank you for the kind review Jon. It is great to see you improving week on week and we can see from the fit20 App that you are now over 40% stronger than when you started. Keep up the great work!

John C 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fit in 20 minutes per week? In my work clothes!? To be honest I was very sceptical! I thought it sounded a bit nonsense! Akin to a fad diet. Duncan is very knowledgeable about the science behind the Fit20 training, when he was explaining it to me in detail, it made sense, I was intrigued. I had a taster session there and then and decided straight away it was for me. What a great work out! I am someone who has been very fit and active through my teens and twenties but the more sedentary lifestyle of someone sat behind a desk most of the time coupled with general ageing means I have found it increasingly difficult to stay fit. I have been a member for nearly a year now and I have really missed the sessions when we have been in lockdown. I urge anyone who is interested and particularly anyone who is sceptical, to go along to Fit20 for a free taster session. It really is for anyone no matter age, gender, body type or fitness and Fit20 really does improve your health by adding strength to you life!

fit20 Exeter

You’re right John, it is often increasingly difficult to stay fit with age especially when life encourages us to be more sedentary. It’s great to be back training again after lockdown and I’m pleased fit20 is working so well for you.Thank you for the great review!

Fantastic experience: So good! Great trainers who watch your position and ensure you train safely. Big big plus is my stronger and toned body! Feels like I've gone back to my 20s! Not a gym person at all, I love the fact that each session is personal, monitored and safe. 20 mins a week very well spent. Love it!

John Harvey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never been a fan of gyms and prefer to walk & swim. However I met Duncan in lockdown on a networking call and was intrigued by his offer. 20 minutes a week is something I can fit into my schedule. Having read he’d a point in my life where I wanted to address my fitness I took the opportunity to have a free trial session and have been going ever since. I like their approach and after a few weeks am seeing the benefits. Highly recommended

Anne George 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I hate gyms and exercise!!!! So the idea of 20 minutes a week and no gym bunnies watching was a serious attraction. Duncan, Pete and Jeff are all great. So encouraging and positive but never pushy. They always have time for a chat. My strength has increased by 35% and I now have more flexibility in both knees that were replaced in the last couple of years. Also it’s very Covid safe. Social distancing, visors or masks and everything sanitised. Thank you guys.

Thank you Anne for this lovely review.I’m so pleased the fit20 training has increased the flexibility in your knees, which I know is a concern for anyone who is facing, or has had, reconstructive surgery.The strength you have built will support your joints and give you the ability and confidence to do so much more in life.We love having you as a member and it is great to be able to help you in so many ways.I will take great pleasure in passing your kind comments to the team.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fit20 for 10 weeks and can already feel and see a difference in my muscle tone. I have a lower back problem. I was unable to walk far without having to stop and test. I now can wall longer without having to stop. I never thought 20 mins in the gym would make a difference but it does. So pleased I joined up. Jeff is a brilliant personal trainer.

Thank you Samantha for your kind review and I will take great pleasure in passing your comments on to Jeff. It is lovely to hear how much of a difference training at fit20 Exeter is making to you. It can be life changing when you are able to walk further without discomfort and it is great that you are already able to see a difference in your muscle tone. We are so happy we have been able to support you with this. Keep up the great work!

Trish Broom 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recommend Fit 20 to anyone of any age . I have been using it for quite a while now and was very sceptical as to how 20 mins a week could possibly be of any benefit but the results are amazing. Within a couple of sessions I felt fitter and healthier . I was able to go up stairs without having to hold on to a rail and my clothes started to fit me better. even my bingo wings were disappearing ,something I had never managed to achieve in a conventional Gym .Each exercise is tailored to suit each person and Duncan ,Jeff or Pete are right beside you helping and encouraging you the whole session. When lockdown happened I thought all the good work was going to go to waste but Jeff did a weekly zoom session with me to maintain my fitness level . Being in my mid 70's and having people telling me how fit and trim I look is a huge ego boost On a final note ,when I was recently caught in a hailstorm I was able to run about 70 meters to my house to take cover Something I thought would have been impossible at my age . A huge Thank You to Fit20

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Fit20 for a few weeks and still cant believe its only 20 mins and once a week... it easily fits within my schedule and convenient location is great. The Team are really lovely, Duncan was brilliant when explaining it to me and had me completely sold, as a women going into menapause, I think it might be my saviour! ;) The equipment all state of the art and spotless and love I leave without a drop a sweat- highly recommend, even if its just to try it out once...

Thank you for the review Louise. Going through the menopause is challenging and it is important to keep up your strength, which helps to promote strong bones (osteoporosis is more common after the menopause, especially for those who do not exercise) and it helps to balance the hormone levels. fit20 focuses on your strength thereby helping you through this and beyond. Keep up the great work!

Eleanor Selley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fit20 for a year and my overall strength has increased over 70%, Superwoman in her 60s or what? Duncan, Pete and latterly Jeff have been great motivators with a very good understanding of one’s capabilities. I walk regularly and I have noticed a marked improvement in my stamina and in daily life also. It is quite manageable to commit to 20 minutes a week for such a positive result. ‍♀️

samantha phillips 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I went for my taster session back in August 2019 I was very sceptical thinking how can 20mins a week get me fit, well let me tell you it really can! Being a plus size female I was very conscious of my size but I've toned up & dropped 3 dress sizes and I've started to love myself again. My overall fitness has improved, from doing simple daily tasks like bending, lifting, walking up stairs and getting in & out of my car. My bad back has completely gone too...I no longer get out of bed or off the sofa bent over & in agony!! ( im only in my late 40s ) my stamina has also improved ten fold!! Duncan & his team are so friendly, 100% professional, non judgemental, and encourage you all the way through it. Its not like any other gym I've been to before their attention to detail while training, from your body position (so you don't get any injury or pain while doing it ) to your breathing technique is 2nd to none. Something you don't get from your instructor at a conventional gym who is only with you once while showing you how different stations work. Here they are with you every session! I really can't recommend fit20 enough its amazing for the health benefits!!

fit20 Exeter
fit20 Exeter

Thank you for your lovely review Samantha.We believe our fit20 training can be life changing and it’s fantastic to hear it’s done this for you!Suffering from back pain can be debilitating, especially when it’s affecting your sleep, and the fit20 training strengthens your back and improves your posture resulting in reductions of aches and pains. To hear that your bad back has completely gone is even better and the effort you have put in during each weekly session makes it all worthwhile. To top this off, it’s great you have managed to drop 3 dress sizes - well done Samantha!

Linda May 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been using Fit 20 for quite a while now and have found it to be amazing at getting rid of the old "bingo wings" I am no fitness fanatic believe me, I hate exercise so the fact I can get away with just 20 min a week is fantastic for me. The sessions are always one to one, and there are not walls of mirrors unlike a lot of gyms. Duncan, Jeff and Pete are all great instructors. They explain everything in a calm patient manner and guide you through the exercises with great precision to get the most out of the 20 min workout. The facilities here are state of the art, air conditioned and spotlessly clean. Free parking. Did I mention, there is coffee and food close by, so it fits nicely into my day to have lunch after, great location. See you soon Guys :)

C G 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When i was first introduced to Fit20, i was extremely sceptical (being an avid gym goer) that a 20 minute session per week would improve anything at all. Only 15+ sessions later, I can confidently say that with Fit20; alongside my usual gym routine, has increased my strength and endurance in the gym quite significantly and the exercises at Fit20 are tougher than I expected! Both Duncan and Jeff are extremely professional, friendly and a pleasure to be around, you couldn't ask for better personal trainers! Extremely happy with my experience.

fit20 Exeter
fit20 Exeter

Thank you for the 5 star review Corey!We can fully appreciate the scepticism, after all even us as Personal Trainers have come through the industry believing that you need to put significant time into exercise to get results. Thankfully we’ve all gone in with an open mind and know it is quality over quantity that gets results … and with fit20’s scientific approach to training you are guaranteed a quality workout every time I know you are really in to your fitness and it’s great to know our training fits perfectly into your overall plans.Keep up the great work!PS - I’ll take great pleasure in passing your kind comments on to the team - thank you

Lorraine Nichols 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fit20 Exeter for some time and I can honestly say I look forward to my weekly session. I find having a standing weekly appointment and one on one training to be a great motivator. Duncan and his team are all very friendly and supportive. I have used conventional gyms with varying results. I have had real, tangible success with Fit20. I am stronger and I am really pleased as this will help keep my bones stronger as I get older. My figure has changed and I have a waist again! The location is ideal for me and there is never any problem with parking. It fits in easily with all the demands on my time as it really does only take 20 minutes a week. A real game changer!

Thank you Lorraine You’re right, we have a very different approach to a regular gym, and our Personal Trainer’s are specialists in the scientific approach to exercise that is used by fit20.It is lovely to know you look forward to every session with the team - we look forward to training you too - and it’s great that you feel and can see the results!Keep up the great work!

Sharon Goble 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training once a week with fit20 for over two years now and have certainly noticed an improvement in my strength, overall fitness and general wellbeing. Amongst other benefits, my weekly workouts have helped me overcome back issues and strengthened my dodgy knee. I've never stuck at any kind of fitness routine as long as I have with this one, because you really can't justify not doing 20 minutes a week and when you've booked in with a personal trainer you make the effort to show up! I persuaded my husband to give it a go a year ago and he's a convert too. I have found Duncan and his whole team to be incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and supportive and the studio is always spotlessly clean. Even during the months of lockdown, we carried on our training by Zoom from home and that definitely maintained our strength and fitness (and helped keep our spirits up!) for when we able to return to the studio. I would not hesitate to recommend fit20 in Exeter.

fit20 Exeter
fit20 Exeter

Thank you Sharon for your lovely review.It is a pleasure to train you both every week and fantastic to hear how much this has helped you. fit20 training has helped many of our members to remove back pain and joint pain, especially in hips and knees, and it is achieved by building muscle strength. This provides strength and stability to the joints, which alleviates pain and gives confidence to do other activities (walking, cycling, playing with the kids)!As you know, consistency is key to getting results, and I am so pleased you have found this achievable for the long term.I will take great pleasure in passing your comments to the team and look forward to seeing you both for your weekly sessions next week!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for inviting me to your studio to try out a 20-minute fit session. Admittedly I was sceptical having always based my fitness on cardio based activity, however once Duncan explained the process and we got to work I could see how effective the training could be. I would encourage anyone to ‘give-it-a-go’, you are in safe hands with Duncan, his knowledge and passion shines through in all that he does: Improving health by adding strength to your life! Faye
