Sudden Movements The Gym: Opinions
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: From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for saving my live! Hard work pays off and I manage to walk again and making my dreams come true! All the best, Mati
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!
You're too kind Simon. Thanks for coming along and training with us.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place trainers are the best I’ve come across and I’ve been training for years friendly, great coaching and fun
Thanks for your kind words Marc.
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn different movements and connection to the body. Very skillful trainers!
Thanks so much Claire.
Fantastic experience: I went to the handstand classes, excellent coaching and a sociable group, thanks everyone!
Thank you Adam. Always a pleasure and great to have you training with us.
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.
Thanks for your kind words James.
Fantastic experience: Great coach, good classes
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!
Fantastic experience: If your into group classes this is def the place to try the trainer is really good and I always fill workout after.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for bodyweight and mixed movement training.

Fantastic experience: I attended a class today at Sudden movement and loved every minute of it! 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: Small independent gym with a unique focus on movement and mobility, run by a highly knowledgeable owner.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to improve your fitness in innovative ways
Fantastic experience: An excellent environment to work on a unique approach to movement that will change your view on traditional fitness forever.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Leeds
Fantastic experience: Great range of strength and conditioning classes, good for me as I don't really enjoy usual gym enviroments
