Sudden Movements The Gym: Opinions

Craig Clement 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Specialist gym for calisthenics, handstands, metcon - essentially body weight exercises with a gymnastics bias. Superb for all round health. Sorted all my back issues through building strength. Fantastic teachers and welcoming environment - just look at the youtube shorts videos that Colin does :). I have struggled with motivation at gyms - I've been coming here 4 years now so that says something.

Fantastic experience: Colin is absolutely sensational, if you want to move better, get some inspiration, learn the traditional calisthenics stuff or get something leftfield he is the man! Also, great coffee!

Fantastic experience: Eva and I have been training with lorena at sudden movements for a couple of years. We started with online classes through lockdown and have continued with 1:1 training. Having trained most of my life, the last 2 years with sudden movements and lorena have been the most rewarding and productive, stronger all over now at 47 than I have ever been. Nice friendly place to be.

Fantastic experience: I met Lorena at another gym 7 yrs ago and have trained with her throughout. I recently decided to move to Sudden movements. It is the best gym I have been too. The atmosphere is friendly and you get to meet lovely people, it has a range of classes on offer, I have attended calisthenics, beginner movements and contemporary dance and loved them all. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone but I have never felt intimidated. I have wrist problems which have been a bit problematic but Colin and Lorena always offer me alternatives to the excercises I struggle with. I have also been training with Lorena on a 1:1 basis for many years and she has trained me through 2 pregnancies in this time. I can say she is my trainer but I have also made a friend for life in the process. I can highly recommend Sudden Movements to anyone wanting a different way to exercising rather than just running on a treadmill!

Fantastic experience: I had only ever gone to mainstream gyms before stepping into Sudden Movements gym. I had done tons of Les Mills classes and getting bored out of my mind. I had picked up some really bad habits, but I was blissfully unaware of this. i thought I was doing great. During the lockdown I fancied a change and bought virtual class passes for Sudden Movements. I was amazed by the level of knowledge the instructors had and that they were able to pick this up from the screen. I had never challenged to think if my wrists were straight or if my support position was really as tight as I thought it was. You start thinking about the whole "exercise and well-being culture" differently, as you find yourself booking in for a class because you want to - not because you feel like you have to. Its about new skills rather than 5million repetitions of squats because then you get a "better body"... You get my drift! Now that the restrictions have been lifted I have done in house classes and its even better. The place is really friendly and inclusive and they really care about you making a progress and doing things right- rather than just taking your money and running away (yes- this one is for you my ex gym!!) In times like this we should all support local business's- this one is up there with the best- so go on - give it a go (you know you want to!) You wont regret it. They also sell mean rawhide cakes and play some good tunes while you move .What's not to love!

Col is a great teacher and you can tell that everyone else in the class had a great time too, other attendees are really friendly, the one gym I've been too where everyone has a great time and stops for a chat afterwards, cake and coffee afterwards was a real treat, absolutely delicious, will definitely be going back, go for the movement stay for the banter and cake :)

Fantastic experience: JUST WOW. This gym blows all the others out the water. The classes cover all basis to achieve a fit, strong and healthy body. It's not your typical gym as you get truly coached to understand the movements. I've been a member of Sudden Movements gym for around 5 years now and working here for 2 years. The community in Sudden Movements is special and everyone is friendly and approachable. I have personally got so much stronger and seen others achieve incredible things here. Come along and see your potential!

Y Pitter 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym! The whole ethos is to move, no need for fancy equipment, just the basics or no equipment at all. I have seen a huge improvement in my strength, flexibility and I am in a much better position to activily manage my former back problem. Colin is a fantastic PT and he certainly leads by example. His sessions are hard, but fun, and you can feel, as well as see your body changing for the better.

Richard Goodall 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Colin is the best PT I’ve ever dealt with. I used to detest going to the gym but I am genuinely excited to go each time. Highly recommended if you want to reach your goals and learn about your body and movement.

Lynn Hosein 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: After spending years in mainstream gyms plodding on I thought I would try something new. All the trainers here are very attentive, they will always make sure everyone in the classes are happy with their weights and level of exercises. Throughout the classes they constantly make sure everyone keeps good form and classes are always kept interesting and fresh. The In-motion classes are a great way to train, gaining great strength and flexibility whilst learning new skills at the same time. The gym has a friendly atmosphere and you feel like you are training with other people, not just in the same room.
