Strength & Performance Stockport

Fantastic experience: Great gym, knowledgeable coaches that have a keen eye on form allowing you develop in training, reduce risk of injury and staying on top of nutrition

Fantastic experience: After a great consultation exploring my fitness goals I am really glad I made the decision to join S&P. The workouts are hard but also enjoyable especially with the variety of exercises each session. The friendly & welcoming atmosphere also helped as I was nervous attending the first session however, I am now 5 weeks in and looking forward to working towards my fitness goals with the S&P team :)

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym! Really supportive and gets great results! recommend it to everyone

Fantastic experience: Great gym , where the coaches actually care about how you train and the people you train with make the sessions even better.

Fantastic experience: I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to be doing in the gym before joining, been coming a couple of years now and wouldn't think of going anywhere else, coaches are helpful and knowledgeable, would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Only just around 6 weeks into my S&P journey and what a place! From wanting to get back into a gym routine but not knowing where to start; all the team from day 1 have been great in helping and encouraging. Yes its nervous the first time you walk in the door but after 5 seconds its gone when you realise you are with like minded people who have a common goal which is just to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. All the coaches are amazing at what they do and even in a class setting you still get the support needed. Looking forward to what the future holds with this but I'm feeling better already

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic experience. At almost 50 years old I’ve never really attended a gym long term, but the team at S&P have persuaded me to attend 3 times a week consistently. Coaches are brilliant, as are the other members , feels like a family. I’m getting healthier every week I attend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been at S&P for a few weeks now after being recommended by a close friend who loves it. It’s not hard to see why, all of the instructors are super friendly as are all of the people i have met whilst training. Everyone there is there for exactly the same goals, to get fitter, stronger & healthier and everyone is so motivational. After coming from a mainstream chain gym i cannot get over the difference as i’ve only ever used chain gyms, nobody gives up and everyone you train with won’t let you give up and it’s true true team work and it’s lovely to be a part of. I pushed 100 kilo prowler at 6.30am friday morning, i have no idea how as i don’t do mornings ‍♀️ i can only put it down to my whole team encouraging me and telling me i could do it which gave me the huge push i needed, thanks guys . Nobody is there to pose, to be pretentious to put others down, everyone is there to encourage you to be the best version of you. Thank you to everyone i have met so far and i look forward to hitting some new goals this year ❤️

Fantastic experience: This place is way more than a gym. Amazing coaches help you achieve your goals

Fantastic experience: Have been a member of Strength and Performance for several years and I love the place. Friendly and knowledgeable coaches and support and exercises for all ages and abilities

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym. You will work, hard. But surely that's why you join a gym. Loads of support and advice, more of a family. Everyone welcomed

Fantastic experience: I joined S&P just over a year ago and have never once looked back. Learnt more & noticed more 'gains' in the past year than I have over the past 5 years at previous commercial gyms.

Fantastic experience: I started training at this gym a few years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever done! Great gym, knowledgeable and supportive trainers and nice atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: S&P is a brilliant Gym with a unique atmosphere, top range equipment and highly knowledgeable Coaches who will help you achieve your fitness goals whilst learning great technique, form and the importance of consistency as well as having lots of laughs along the way! S&P is more than just a gym it’s one big family, that you’ll definitely want to join!

Fantastic experience: Quite honestly the best gym I've ever been to! I've never trained anywhere that challenges me so much physically but in such a supportive and friendly environment. Every coach is fantastic, really spends the time trying to help, develop and encourage you and I'm so delighted with the changes I'm seeing physically and feeling mentally since joining S&P. Could not recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: I started at S&P over 2 years ago now and honestly the best decision I ever made. With the coaches knowledge and support I feel like I have progressed with not only my technique but also my strength and fitness levels. There is always such a positive atmosphere in the gym and everyone always gives it 100% It isn't just a gym it's a community where everyone comes together doing what they love to do I would strongly recommend if your thinking about joining, JOIN!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at S&P for three months now and the positive change in that short period is amazing and just drives me on to achieve more! 5kg lost and stronger/fitter than I’ve been in a long time! The trainers are great, very knowledgeable and drive you to achieve more. The gym itself is a great space and full of high quality equipment and amenities. The other members are very enthusiastic and supportive which for me is the biggest driver when at a normal gym I would have given up! I can see myself being here a long time!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym in October after a number of failed attempts at other gyms. With the goal of increasing my fitness and strength, this looked promising. 6 months later, I am a amazed at the changes in my fitness. I haver also never enjoyed exercise this much. The coaches are all excellent - the right mix of being supportive whilst pushing to achieve more. I really like the community feel within the gym, with everybody supporting each other. I would highly recommend S&P to anybody, no matter what stage they are in terms of fitness.

Fantastic experience: So much more than just a gym!

Fantastic experience: Love it here know the owner really well and lots to do

Fantastic experience: An amazing place! Great vibes, amazing team and a really good education for me on health and fitness. Would highly recommend to everyone of all fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: Awesome company to deal with, professional, knowledgeable and customer focussed. Cant recommend highly enough. The level of personal care delivered is brilliant

Fantastic experience: Great environment for training. Fun, with all levels of ability. Great place for my teenage son to train as the coaches are top role models for him.

Fantastic experience: Joined S&P six months ago. Great coaches and awesome sessions. Really impressed with how the coaching team keep everyone connected and motivated, even during the lockdowns!

Fantastic experience: A great gym with friendly & knowledgable staff. The training is built around technique, with a great variety in each session to keep the interest up. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I've ever trained at. All the coaches are class and I've got full confidence in them to help me achieve any goals I set out for myself

Fantastic experience: Not like any other gym I've been to (and I've been to a lot).... you are part of it, not just a member. It isn't easy but they wouldn't get the results they do if it were. Support and motivation to the rafters... Love love love S&P

Fantastic experience: Came to this gym a little apprehensive in September 2017, was put at ease with the coaches very quickly and soon became part of the awesome community spirit they have. It’s more than just a gym, the social side is fantastic. It’s kid friendly so no problem if you need to work out and have kids. I’ve lost 2stn in 6months and have been transformed physically and mentally by the experience. 5star unique venue, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Strength and performance is like no gym I have been to before. I saw the video on line and liked the look of the workouts they did, no weight machines bright lights and big TVS to watch while you look at yourself and take selfie of you working out. When you get to the gym you take some time to work on stretches and soft tissue then it's around an hr of pushing yourself to your limit and sweating like you didn't know you could. If you're sat reading this thinking I couldn't do that believe me you can because you're not on your own, everyone else at Strength and performance started the same way and they are always encouraging you and pushing you on. If you are also thinking I'm too fat or out of shape to go there then think again, there are no primadonas at this gym you will not be judged on how you look or if you have the best trainers or workout gear you will just be welcomed. Education is a big part of the gyms ethics and it comes in spades educating you about food why we need paticularly food at the right time and how our bodies process it and it makes a huge difference to your results. To sum up this gym is the total package and it's full of great people and coaches who have all taken that first step to fitness at some point. TAKE THAT STEP.......

Fantastic experience: It’s not just a gym, this place changes your life. It’s full of like minded people with the drive to do well and push you to do your best. It’s hard work, but you get out what you put in. The place has such a good vibe with inundations of knowledge and equipment. Always greeted with a smile and pushes you to do positive things and put 100% effort into life. It’s like a second family.

Fantastic experience: I became a member of S and P not long before the first lockdown. My first session had felt daunting at first but I was made to feel welcome and supported to find my feet. My abilities and fitness were observed so I just wasn’t thrown in at the deep end. Each programme is varied and give you a good personal target to progress to. The repeated lockdowns have felt frustrating when I was just beginning to feel settled and making progress. I cannot fault the whole S and P team who have been supportive and continue to cheerlead and guide you over Zoom. The little touches received through the post were much needed and a reminder someone had your back. Whilst still feeling a relatively new member, it’s reassuring that all the coaches know your name and take time to check in with you. The return to the gym has been well planned and feels safe and I can’t wait to get into the full strong programme again. Both my sons have taken part in the kids sessions and have loved the support and encouragement from both Jake and Karl. My daughter cannot wait til she is old enough to be part of the S and P family!

Fantastic experience: Have trained with Sean and the guys at S&P since the day it opened at Meadowbank-in the gym for years but more recently through remote coaching as I work long hours away from home and travel a lot. Quite honestly, this is a world class gym. The coaching is excellent, driven by research and years of experience in training everyone from professional athletes to desk jockeys like me. Programming is never gimmicky and fad driven unlike some other 'specialist' gyms- there's a reliance on what is proven to work, it's always challenging and consistently delivers results if you are prepared to work hard. The remote coaching programme is outstanding. Can't praise these guys enough. Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Hi all, I've been doing the remote workout for over a year now, and I can honestly say it is the way forward for me. Sean managed to coach me remotely; I've toned up & felt better in myself. I like the idea of going into the gym, but my workload is hectic & I've two teenage children to look after, so I always felt guilty if I didn't make sessions, so this one fits perfectly in with my lifestyle. For me, I have regular catch up call coving not just fitness, but diet and well being. Three times a week workout is set for me to do, plus I go walking and running, which I record and do in my own time (usually before work – if I'm up in time). I record the exercises so the coaches can critic. I've always been active but never strong or toned until recently. My weight dropped and stayed stable. Occasional I've received little thank you, most recently a bottle of wine! Perfect for me. We also have focused on areas of weakness – lousy back due to sitting at a computer most of the day and weak left shoulder after previous surgery. Different stretches and strength exercises look after these areas. Remote coaching works if you are dedicated, need a push to focus, and struggle to make the gym. It also helps you feel better.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of S&P for around 18 months on the fit program. I did my research before joining as I'd decided I needed a gym that could help me overhaul my weight and physical health (I weighed 29 stone at the time) as well as my mental health, all in time for my 40th birthday! I'm very glad I made the choice to join here. From starting to take it seriously around May 2020 I have now lost 100 lb and am halfway towards the fit at 40 goal with 11 months or so to go! The gym creates sessions and programs which change and challenge but are ultimately achievable for a large amount of different abilities. It is quite easy to mark your progress as you get fitter. There are coaches at the gym that can also advise you on other aspects of health and lifestyle such as nutrition and movement. The coaches are approachable and you will likely find one that you click with. The gym has been awesome through the lockdown. They created a full program to be done through Zoom with 1-2-1 phone calls and outside sessions when they were allowed. I spoke a lot to Sean who encouraged me with making achievable goals and keeping me accountable and with Stacey who introduced me to the concept of the 1% improvements and raising the floor which has been central to how well I've been doing. I've come out of the other side of lockdown over seven stone lighter and feeling great having made smaller, positive contributions to my lifestyle. There are also groups where you can talk with other members and swap stories, food ideas and suchlike. There was even socials before all this kicked off! I'm looking forward to those coming back :) I couldn't recommend it more

Fantastic experience: Theres no other place like it - incredible team of coaches, who will get you to where you want to be physically and mentally, inside and outside of the gym. Great set of people to be around, whether that be the training team or the members. A community anyone would love to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I've been a member for almost 7 years now after trying lots of different gyms and fitness approaches in the past. S&P is by far more than just a gym, I've formed lifelong friendships and developed mental and emotional strength that transfers into daily life - the best investment in me that I've ever made.

Fantastic experience: I joined this fantastic gym community in September last year and I have nothing but praise. We have been in and out of lockdown and everything has been handled professionally whilst taking guidelines and individual needs into account. My whole experience has been thoroughly enjoyable whilst making some major advances in my strength and fitness journey. The coaches and very knowledgeable and super supportive, I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best gym, best coaches, best community

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Positive experience: Charlie, really enjoys training here. We look forward to seeing how he develops.

Fantastic experience: Already feeling the difference. Good community feel there, everyone spurs you on to do your best!

Fantastic experience: My son goes to the kids session which is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic training, different and harder than anything else. Fantastic atmosphere and inspirational coaches and members

Fantastic experience: More than a gym. Simply they know what they are doing. Result are a given, you achieve more than you think.

Fantastic experience: Expect to get results if you put into practise what the coaches will teach you. The environment and atmosphere lead to all but guaranteed results if you buy in. Come with a open mind and be prepared to work and you’ll come back for more.

Fantastic experience: Never been much of a gym goer and took me a long time to realise I needed some help and encouragement in a way I’m happy and comfortable with I tried S&P and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done cannot recommend it enough (infact I do to anyone who will listen) The coaches are amazing, the people are awesome and the environment is brilliant - it’s fun, tough and fills you with a massive sense of achievement

Fantastic experience: Only had 4 sessions so far but really enjoying the s&p experience. Supportive and enthusiastic coaches and a great team vibe on the sessions ❤

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going now for about 6weeks, every time I go I leave the gym aching and a smile on my face knowing my I’ve been pushed to give my 100%. Before I came here I have been members at gym but could never get myself motivated to go and work out, but here I like going

Fantastic experience: It’s is by far the most effective gym in terms of setting goals to achieve building physique or weight loss. It is a warm and friendly environment which makes working out enjoyable and so much fun. No other gym touches it

Fantastic experience: If 'gyms' aren't you thing, give S&P a go. You'll sweat lots and probably cry a bit, but you'll laugh loads more than that and get fitter, smarter, and better. More than a gym, it's community of brilliant people.

Fantastic experience: My wife started going to s&p as she had a few health issues and omg what a change so she convinced me to join and we haven't back the camaraderie the team sprite is second to none and as for the coaches what they don't know they are an absolute encyclopedia and will help you in any way possible and the extras that are on offer if you cop for an injury is amazing so much to offer .they make you feel like family it is a pure pleasure going you mite not be able to walk out some days but what a sense of achievement they send you home with .And as for the members a gain support advice encouragement in truck loads they do feel like a family us JUST THE S&P WAY with hand on heart I would say you would be a fool not to give us a go after all you have nothing to lose only gains and thats what it all a bout

Fantastic experience: Like everyone else, the last eight weeks has been particularly tough, and I don’t think I realised how much positive energy S&P brought into my life. The gym reacted professionally when lockdown was announced and members were invited to take a piece of equipment home with them. Almost immediately the gym adapted, Providing the best possible alternative to in person training. Within a matter of days we had coaches On hand To deliver sessions online, and Personalised training programs provided as many times as we wanted. This is of course great and tbh, nothing short of what you’d expect from the place. However... what has impressed me the most is that whatever your “new normal” is; be that you want to maintain your exact same level of intense training as you did pre-lockdown; whether you needed to wind things down a little because your environment or your state of mind isn’t quite there; or indeed whether you needed to find a completely new normal for the time being that perhaps didn’t involve much exercise at all, then that is absolutely fine. There’s no judgement here. The daily messages of support from Sean and the team keep us all connected even though we are distant. The feeling of being part Something much bigger than your confined solo state during lockdown just makes things that little bit easier. S&P is not a gym. S&P is not for everyone. S&P is whatever you need it to be.

Fantastic experience: I “Just before Christmas was sitting in my girlfriend bedroom crying saying how much I didn’t want to be here and felt like I had nothing else! I know it was selfish but you can’t control your feelings.” Thankfully, Derek's girlfriend hadn’t given up on him and suggested he join S&P. “Walking through the door for the first time I was so scared, my confidence level was zero, but I had a good welcome from the coaches and the members... ...the first session shocked me on how hard it was and I’m not going to lie when I finished the first session, I was lying on the floor for 5 minutes until I started to feel normal again.” After such a humbling experience, Derek knew it was the fresh start he desperately needed. “People started talking to me, shaking my hand and telling me their stories, then it hit me, I wasn’t alone anymore. I got stronger mentally and physically. People would comment on how much weight I was losing and I felt really great.”

Fantastic experience: S&P team are the best. Excellent communication. The atmosphere at the gym is very friendly and after my first session I discovered new muscles. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: If you are ever wondering if fitness and strength is for you.... s and p will show you that it is especially if you are after culture of community and support

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending S&P gym for over four years now and if you look at any reviews or posts you will see the same phrase cropping up ‘its more than just a gym’. I cannot tell you how true this is. I have learnt so much from the coaches who are always willing to share their knowledge and are honestly only interested in making people better. You could walk in to S&P not feeling like a workout and struggling for motivation then before you know it, you are in the thick of it, having an amazing workout with loads of support from clients and coaches. You will then drive home feeling shattered but fantastic. Instead of plodding along at a commercial gym, spending hours going from machine to machine get yourself down to S&P. You never have to think ‘what shall I do at the gym today?’ You just turn up and the programmes are ready for you and as long as you put the work in, you will get the results.

Fantastic experience: I couldnt recommend this gym more, the best in Stockport and probably the best in the UK. The staff and coaches are amazing, friendly, helpful and caring, trying to get you to where you want to be. Their knowledge on training and nutrition is second to none, constantly giving tips and advice to help you along your way.

Fantastic experience: I joined 18 months ago and haven’t regretted my decision once. If you want a cheap gym then go elsewhere, but if you want a gym where the coaches are knowledgable and care, and really do know their stuff then this is right up there with the best. Great place to train with an atmosphere that I haven’t found anywhere else, and that’s from a fellow sports coach myself.

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym full of knowledgeable, friendly and motivating coaches. It's the only place that's ever worked for me and all the members are really supportive. Brilliant kids sessions too! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: S&P has been the catalyst to a complete transformation in so many areas of life. Outside of the the world class coaching and facilities, the support I have had over the last 5 years has allowed me to address every aspect of my fitness journey. S&P is so much more than a gym and needs to be experienced, I would 100% encourage anyone to give it a try.

Fantastic experience: When I started at S&P I wasn't really sure what to expect, joined on the recommendation of someone else. When I started I would have never thought that i'd be lifting free weights. My training had been hit and miss before I started - more miss than hit. As soon as I started at S&P it quickly became clear the difference to other places, the support and encouragement has always been great, encouragement to do exercises I thought i'd never be able to do, work harder than I believed I could, but with the help of the coaches and other members I've done so much more than I ever thought I would. There's also a refreshing and strong belief in doing exercise correctly, so there's a big emphasis on moving correctly and generally looking after yourself so that you're able to better enjoy doing outside the gym what you love. The programs change regularly so there's little chance to get bored of doing the same old routine and if you're not sure on something you're encourage to ask questions, and not mocked. I'd definitely recommend giving the gym a try, you're unlikely to get the same atmosphere, help and support anywhere else. I wouldn't have stayed so long if i didn't believe in the place.

Fantastic experience: Around 3-4 years ago I decided I needed to “lose weight” and “get fit” - the end goal; to be “fit at 50”. So in September last year, on a friend's recommendation, I tried S&P gym in Stockport for a trial week. The first session was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I didn’t realise how unfit I’d become. But there was just something about the place and the vibe of the group workouts that I really enjoyed… so I joined up. I love it. It’s the best place to train, the coaches are all amazing and the people I train with are lovely and all have their own inspiring journeys to share. What I tried to do in 2-3 years on my own I’ve achieved in 9 months at S&P. I’m now in the best condition since my mid twenties - and now it’s time to sit down with the coaches and work out what new goals I’m going to smash by the big 5.0!

Fantastic experience: Jake has been an absolute diamond. My son attends the fitness and strength sessions every week and his stamina and strength has improved dramatically. All the lads like him and his communications are excellent. Would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get fit in a well run and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at S&P for over two years and I can honestly say it's unlike any gym I've ever been a member of. Forget boredom and treadmills and putting your headphones in and trudging through the motions of your 'program'. You're led by fantastic professional and genuinely caring coaches through a challenging and motivating session each time with people who all work together and help each other keep going. You always come out feeling like you've given everything, and really achieved something for yourself. Quite often I go after a bad day dragging myself in feeling tired and fed up. Come out smiling and feeling amazing every time. So much more than a gym.

Fantastic experience: There really is no place like S&P. Yes there may be similarities physically in terms of gyms out there but the ethos, ethics and atmosphere is second to none and somewhat special. I joined having only one goal at the time, to lose a bit of weight and to feel better for it. Having no “gym” experience before I didn’t know what to expect. I had nil knowledge. I always had that concept of weights make women bulky and manly. 4 years later I’m still here literally at peak fitness to date, better mindset. I have a positive relationship with my food and balance!, I’ve made amazing friends, become more confident, have a thirst for being healthier and stronger and couldn’t give the S&P team enough credit for their knowledge and support... they actually care about what they do and who they’re doing it for.

Fantastic experience: I joined S&P intending to get fit and get back to my pre-kids body and initially signed up for a 12 week plan. Although I’d always been active growing up, after having 3 children in 4 years, I’d struggled to get motivated to get back into fitness or find anything that I could stick to - I was fed up of trying hard on my own and making no progress. Going along to my first session was a massive step out of my comfort zone but I can honestly say that 4 years on I have learned so much and achieved so many of the personal goals that I have been encouraged to set myself by the expert S&P coaching team. I joined thinking about weight loss and I definitely achieved that but the biggest wins for me have been in finding a fantastic community where everyone is encouraged towards their own success.

Fantastic experience: When I walked in to S&P 3 years ago I’d been happy training somewhere else for 5 years but just fancied a change for a bit, I didn’t expect to stay for more than a couple of months. Didn’t quite work out like that! You’re part of a team from the moment you step through the door, the support from coaches and members alike is what makes this place special, there’s a real community here. Sessions are challenging but so much fun and always full of team spirit. I’ve grown in so many ways since I’ve been at S&P, and I’m stronger in body and mind because of it. More than just a gym!

Fantastic experience: Honestly there is no other place like it. It’s just a special place. My husband joined just over 4 years ago and talked me into giving it a go. After saying “no it’s not my thing ”for a good few weeks I gave in and joined & I honestly loved it. 4 years on And both of us and our children age 12 & 15 train at s&p too, and they love it as much as us and we have all met people who we train with that I know will be lifelong friends. The coaches are something special, they are always there for advice and help with their expertise and knowledge, and all round really kind people. It’s a gym where your not judged for being who you are or what you want to achieve. The atmosphere and camaraderie are what help you through the sessions. I would encourage anyone to try it, you will never regret it. #Trusttheprocess

Fantastic experience: I've recently rejoined S&P after working away for some time and at 60 and significantly unfit and quite anxious I was welcomed with open arms . I've been going a month now and am so pleased with all the encouragement and the great family feeling at the Stockport S&P. I've achieved more than I thought I would in a month and that's because both the coaches and the members are really encouraging even when I'm slow or unable to do a particular exercise. I've even managed to do 50 skips (first time ever in my life!) and push a plate! I'm clearly progressing and I look forward to going - even at 6 am!! I'd highly recommend this place if you are committed to getting fitter and/or strong.

Fantastic experience: Having travelled the world and attended my gyms/training programs, I can honestly say S&P delivers. S&P is the up there with the best gyms globally. Training sessions are first class, coaching is excellent, nutrition and advice is always available online or face to face. If want results definitely join S&P. Not for the faint hearted

Fantastic experience: I joined S & P thinking I'll give it a few months as I don't tend to stick to anything long term. 3 years later and I'm still here! I used to think I don't have time for the gym but now it's part of my life and I now plan everything else around the gym. Not only has it been good for me physically but mentally. It's the place to go to switch off from the chaotic life we all seem to lead these days. As an added bonus, I've met some great people who are so supportive and I'm proud to call them my friends.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to S&P for a few months now after having been to others gyms previously. This place is different in every way. Everyone has time to say hello and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in, not just the coaches. Since coming here I’m fitter and stronger and feel better in myself, it’s a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: I got engaged in July 2018 and felt nothing but dread about going wedding dress shopping. I knew I wanted to lose weight but this is something I had always struggled with in the past. I tried various different boot camps, gyms and fitness classes but gave up after a short while and made excuses not to go. I tried extreme diets but knew it wasn’t sustainable as I love food! I then joined S&P 6 months ago and this was the turning point. I now want to go to the gym and it is part of my routine. It is difficult to explain why S&P is different from other gyms until you have experienced it for yourself. I have felt more supported than I’ve ever felt before and made genuine friends who push me to go above and beyond what I thought was possible. I have off days where I have to talk myself into going but always feel 100% better afterwards. I am now 2 stone lighter and fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been before. I’ve been wedding dress shopping and couldn’t be happier! Thanks to everyone at S&P for being part of my journey ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've been to numerous gyms on a DIY basis over the last few years and have typically ended up cancelling my membership due to lack of motivation and results but since joining S&P I've not only started enjoying training but I'm getting what I wanted from working out. It's not easy, infact it's borderline relentless, but the feeling after completing a workout at S&P is second to none. It's only been a few months but not only do I feel a lot stronger, I am getting to where I want to be physically. The team at S&P are something special and I highly highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm just coming up to my 2 year anniversary at S&P Stockport & I honestly can't say enough good things about it! It's the only gym I have ever managed to embed into my weekly routine, every week i'm in without fail and I actually want to attend all my sessions. The coaches really know their stuff and cut through all the BS that seems to constantly appear in the fitness and nutrition world, making the routine easier to stick to and the advice easy to follow with tons of support provided. Programs and sessions are refreshed regularly so it never gets boring. So many other things aswell, supportive community/friendships, extra events each month (gym challenges, walks, rock climbing, socials), great equipment, accountability 121s, goal setting and nutrition advice - it really is a gym like no other, worth every single penny!

Fantastic experience: This isn't an ordinary gym. The support you get from coaches and other members is incredible. Everyone pushes each other to be their absolute best, and I have become a better person for going here. It's part of my routine and I couldn't imagine going back to a boring gym with no personality!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving the coaching and community here. I’ve only been a member for 2 months but I’m already closer to achieving my goals than I ever have been before! The expert advice and support is outstanding, so much than you’d ever get from a commercial gym. The sessions are tough but manageable, the coaches are always on hand to help if you are struggling with anything, but will push you when they know you can safely do more. Thank you team!

Fantastic experience: I love training at S&P. I now enjoy exercise (most of the time). I love the team atmosphere and the camaraderie. The coaches genuinely care and want to get the best out of you. I am now 40 and stronger and fitter than I was in my twenties. The aches and pains I thought were normal have all gone. I get a mental lift from my time spent in the gym. I'm still coming back after 10 years, so they must be doing something right. Try it, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of S&P for 4 years now and without doubt has become part of my weekly routine. Having left a commercial gym I really didn't know what to expect but I've never looked back. The sessions are carefully planned and often push your boundaries but everything is done with a firm eye on technique and quality. You would never find this kind of coaching elsewhere. Even if i've a lot going on outside of the gym then I never want to skip a session. Getting in there and training with a fantastic group of people is, for me, now a lifestyle choice. Helping and encouraging one another even when you think you've nothing left to give is what sets this gym apart. There's no judgement, everybody has their own goals and reasons for being a member. The coaches are second to none, not only do they give fantastic advice but they are always there to answer questions and help with technique or lifestyle/diet. They want to know your 'why' for being there so they can help you achieve it. If you're thinking of joining or want to come and see the gym for yourself then I wholeheartedly recommend this place, you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an amazing sense of community. Im a disabled member with a spinal cord injury which means I use a manual wheelchair. The owners and coaches have treated with great respect and like any other member. They've helped me stay fit and conquer amazing challenges such as climbing Snowden in my wheelchair while raising money for my recovery and battle against my spinal injury. One of the best decisions I made becoming a member of S&P gym!

Fantastic experience: What sets S&P apart from any other gym is the expertise of the coaches and their desire to ensure that all those who walk through the doors improve themselves, whatever their level of fitness or ability. Having been a member for almost 10 years I’ve seen countless people join S&P, commit to the process, and literally transform their lives for the better. The facility is top notch too and there’s continued investment in new equipment, which coupled with the varied programs always presents new challenges and means training never gets boring. Look about and you’ll see many gyms that have tried to replicate what S&P do and their their ethos, however S&P was the first of its kind and remains the best of its kind. Get yourself down and be a part of it.

Fantastic experience: S&P is much more than just a gym, it’s a community where everyone has similar goals of being better & fitter versions of themselves. I am proud to be part of that community, and it feels great. I’ve been a member of various gym brands at some point in my life but never has there been one where the emphasis is so much more holistic than it is at S&P. The coaches and members become your friends; they certainly have helped me push myself and encouraged and helped me when the going got tough. There’s also a lot of work by the coaches in creating the workout plans and keeping us on point with our nutrition and wellbeing. In addition to the exercises, a lot of effort goes into creating the community spirit that exists. Events beyond the normal working out days (whether for charity or fun), member shout out videos, accountability groups, member success stories are just a few examples of what makes S&P what it is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend S&P to anybody. If you are still undecided, come and talk to one of the coaches or anyone who trains there. I’m glad I am part of the S&P tribe.

Fantastic experience: S&P Stockport is a place like no other. I have always been an all or nothing person when it comes to my fitness journey, but S&P has taught me about having balance in a way that is both sustainable and achievable. S&P is not your typical gym, it is a community where you will be made to feel welcome and given support to reach your goals by the coaches, During the session the other members really push you and give you the encouragement you need to keep going! It’ is the most welcoming place I have ever trained, and quite simply I would not train at any other gym.

Fantastic experience: I joined S&P 4 years ago and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. After struggling with my weight for many years I had been a member at various other gyms like puregym or life leisure to try and get in the shape that I wanted - doing all the classes that they offer but not really knowing what I was doing. I am quite a shy and reserved person so I was quite nervous about joining S&P but nothing compares to the level of support and knowledge I have received from the coaches and other members. Everyone truly cares and wants you to achieve your goals. I reached my weight loss goal but more importantly than that my self confidence has grown so much and I am the fittest, strongest and happiest I have ever been. I don't know what I would do without S&P, it has changed my whole outlook on food and training and it has just become a way of life.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend s&p highly enough. I joined with the intention of staying for 12 weeks. Almost 3 years later I’m still there. Physically I’m in better shape and stronger than I have ever been. If you are open to listen and learn the results are there to be had. What really keeps me going back though is the most supportive, motivating and encouraging community of both coaches and members I have ever met. Come and see - you won’t regret it.
