Twist Studios Forest Hill

Fantastic experience: 3 months ago I walked into Twist studios, having last been in a gym 10+ years ago, and never having picked up a free weight in my life. Now, I am confident to take up space in the gym, knowing that I have the skill and ability to carry out a vast range of exercises. I have met, and surpassed, any goal I first entered with - and cannot wait to smash my goals in the future. I credit that entirely down to Carlene. I cannot quite express the support and encouragement Carlene has given me, in a way which acknowledges my fears whilst consistently challenging me to push myself. Thank you for everything - and, if it wasn’t clear from this - I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Have worked with Katie for a year now and has become a key part of my fitness routine. Love the Twist family!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Twist Studios enough! I initially came to Twist with a lot of anxiety around my body/exercise, after a long break and struggling with a chronic health condition. Carlene really listened to me and my goals and has been incredibly supportive in our sessions. They have so much variety and challenge you in the best way! Because of Carlene’s skill and encouragement, I feel strong and more confident in my body - training with her at Twist has been a genuinely empowering experience.

Fantastic experience: Twist Studios provides excellent tailored one-to-one service to its clients. I enjoy working with each of their personal trainers and they are good at pushing me to my limits and keeping workout routines fresh and innovative. There is always a positive, welcoming atmosphere and I relish my training sessions.

Fantastic experience: I am really enjoying my experience of personal training in Forest Hill, the team are fantastic, really friendly and supportive. Jaime my personal trainer is perfect in helping develop my fitness and strength. I’ve also trained with Katie and Adam who were both great. Would definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have trained at Twist for years and really enjoy it. It’s welcoming and friendly and most importantly keeps us fit. I now train with Katie who is great, she works me hard but I have fun doing it.

Fantastic experience: Adam is professional and most importantly fun. My partner and I have been training with Adam for almost half a year now with two sessions per week. We rarely have any repeated class. Every class is fun. We have a mixture of strength, durance, weights, and cardio. I've progressed with 4 kgs to 7.5 on chest press. Every class is different and I'll never get bored.

Fantastic experience: Excellent PT and studio! I’ve been training with Hannah (HCFitness) for a couple of years, on both specific goals and general fitness/toning. Hannah is committed and professional - I’ve learnt so much not just about exercises, but about nutrition and mindset too. She’s pragmatic, adapting my training when I’m injured or wanting to focus on something new, and she’s really responsive if I have a question or idea. But she also makes sure I get what I need to done and motivates me to stay on track. Twist studios is well equipped and the community there is welcoming and encouraging, classes are good.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Twist Studios regularly for a year now. My PT Hannah is great at keeping our sessions challenging and varied, and she’s helped to make fitness an integral part of my weekly routine. The team create a friendly atmosphere that I haven’t found in other gyms in the area!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Twist Studio for almost a year and couldn't recommend it highly enough. It is an amazing little gym with a great team of trainers. I am attending the group PT sessions of Carlene and Katie's HIIT classes. I was new to strength training and Carlene made me get into it and make it part of my routine. She keeps track of my progress and always makes me push past my limits in a fun way through new exercises and challenges. Katie's HIIT classes are the perfect balance of intensity and fun.

Fantastic experience: I just ran my first marathon. I set myself a goal of wanting to achieve under 4hrs. Previously I hadn’t run further than 10km. A few weeks ago I successfully ran the London Marathon in under 4hrs. I worked with Carlene from Twist Studios once a week whilst she also designed a personalised training programme for my runs that she tailored each week depending on my weekly schedule and changing training performance. She offered superb support over the whole time, a great workout and I would highly recommend to anyone that is wanting to achieve a fitness goal of their own.

Fantastic experience: I started group PT sessions at the start of the year not having done them or much strength training before and they’ve been incredibly helpful. Carlene is an excellent PT, very knowledgeable, communicative and observant and she adapts the programme according to your needs and ability. She makes sure to push you just the right amount and I saw so much progress! Would 100% recommend the group PT sessions if you’re feeling a bit clueless or stuck and need some inspiration in your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I love Twist Studios, it’s a fantastically friendly studio, excellent trainers and Carlene is amazing, I’m not confident with my body and she has been brilliant at designing just the right amount of challenge and fun. Together with the workshops, it keeps me both physically and mentally fit - come on down!

Fantastic experience: Katie is a refreshing, personable and hardworking PT. I’ve loved all our sessions. She’s been able to quickly adapt to any requests or issues and build a sustainable training plan for me. I’ll definitely continue to work and grow with Katie

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Carlene for two years and it’s been a great experience. Carlene was my first PT and under her guidance and support I’ve built so much strength and flexibility. Sessions are always varied to keep it interesting and she’ consistently gives me the confidence to push past my limits. Sessions are the right level of intensity but always feel safe and controlled. Without Carlene’s enthusiasm I’m sure I would have given up by now!

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have tried different gyms and personal trainers, with varying degrees of success. So, it was with some scepticism that I walked into Twist Studios to meet Adam. I had a list of the usual goals; lose weight, increase my strength, and improve my overall fitness. We agreed to a 12-month time frame. After 11 months I have not only reached but surpassed all of the goals. While I have lost weight and gained muscle, my posture and mobility has also greatly improved. This is entirely down to Adam’s competence as a personal trainer. His comprehensive training programme was focused and tailored to me. We have now set new goals, which I have 100% confidence I will meet with Adam guiding me.

Fantastic experience: Signing up with Twist Studios is one of the best things I've done! It's such a supportive and motivational environment. I love my sessions with Katie and look forward to them each week - they are challenging but rewarding and fun. Three months in and I can already see the difference. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her as a personal trainer if you want to achieve your health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: As someone with long term health conditions, who is overweight and not at all athletic; I was looking for a personal trainer to help me achieve some fitness goals. It was important for me to be able to have a trainer who understands my health and limitations, shows me how to train effectively and without injury, build my strength, improve my overall fitness and enjoy the process. I had walked passed Twist Studios which is close to home countless times but didn’t think they would cater for me. One day I decided to Google them and found the studio recommended in the ES newspaper. I spoke with my athletic, gym going brother who suggested I join the studio and do about 10 sessions, after which I should be able to train on my own in the gym. I took the plunge - Jaime is my trainer and he is great, encouraging, motivating and good fun. I have learned so much from him, and enjoy my sessions despite them being challenging. I couldn’t leave after 10 sessions! I now have the confidence to create my own timed or weight training sessions which allows me to supplement my PT sessions with my own workouts at the gym, and feel that I know what I am doing. Of course my sessions are not as good as Jaime’s though. Whilst I am still working towards my goals I am proud of the progress I have made thanks to Jaime and Twist Studios. As you would expect fitness is a lifestyle at Twist, they also have social events sometimes to. Adam the owner is friendly and approachable. I’ve watched him and some of the other PT’s train their clients. They are all impressive. I am pleased I took the plunge, my only regret is that I didn’t join Twist Studios sooner! I feel blessed to have them in my local community.

Fantastic experience: Twist is great - my PT Carlene is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and encouraging and her workouts are fresh and flexible. I started 8 months ago with a bad back and it hurt to walk and am now able to run again thanks to a carefully tailored work out each week that over time has gradually helped build up strength in weakened areas of my body. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Sam to get in shape for my wedding last year and he has been fantastic, I hit my target in 4 months. Every session is varied and fun, and I am pushed to work harder than I ever would on my own. I feel healthier and more confident than I have in a long time, and I look forward to my session every week. I really recommend these studios and Sam as a trainer!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience and extremely loving people. Was able to hit my targets in no time. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Quality place ! Quality people! Strongly recommend if you want to get fit and healthy!!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly local trainers. Highly recommend. Adam and team are a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: 1 year anniversary of training with Jaime - feeling strong, happy and healthy :)

Fantastic experience: Great classes, great trainers who know their stuff. Would definitely recommend for great results.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the boxercise class here for almost two years, it's great fun and Adam is a great instructor - the perfect mix of encouragement and toughness to get you to push yourself.

Fantastic experience: I'd never had a personal trainer before so was a little anxious but the staff made me feel totally at ease and Adam was just fantastic. I've now signed up for some of the classes as well as the personal training sessions. Could not recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! 5 months has flown by working with Harry, he is a enthusiastic personal trainer its hard not to love working with him. There is always a new move which keeps sessions intresting he definitely knows his stuff.

Fantastic experience: Love Twist studios. Always friendly in general. Jaime has been a fantastic trainer for both myself and my husband, he somehow manages to make it fun even when we're both dying! 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I started training at Twist Studios with Harry in the summer of 2017 as part of a pre-wedding health kick and we’re so pleased we did. I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking to train in a fun environment and get fit and in shape quickly. It has a really friendly, informal feel but be prepared to put in some work! Harry is very good at figuring out your physical limit then finding creative ways to keep you at it for an hour. It’s tough but the pay off is quick progression and almost immediate results. Harry really knows his stuff so you learn quite a lot as well which helps with your training outside the PT sessions. The couples PT sessions are fun if you want to train with somebody else and Adam’s boxercise classes are great - a proper workout rather than the prancing around in boxing gloves you see in places like Fitness First!

Fantastic experience: This is a great studio in South East London. We have been having PT sessions with Jaime for a good few months now. Not only are the sessions very enjoyable and have already given great results, Jaime is also very knowledgeable and we have learnt so much! The atmosphere is great and I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great studio, lovely people and challenging but super fun sessions. Adam is an awesome personal trainer. He always pushes you to be better, train harder and definately knows how to keep you motivated. Couldn’t recommend these guys more! Thankyou Twist Studios!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Harry for about 7 months.. the longest time I have ever committed to work out regularly! He is fantastic; really knowledgable, supportive and great fun! He pushes me further and further each week, and I feel a real sense of achievement after our sessions. Thanks Harry!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Twist Studios for just under 9 months and I absolutely love training with Harry. I've lost much more weight than I ever could have done on my own (2 stone...without cutting down on socialising!) and my partner, who is really not a gym person, has just signed up because my progress has impressed him so much. I couldn't recommend Harry and Twist highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I Trained with Adam for nearly a year, by far one of the most professional and caring PTs I’ve ever worked with. He tailors the training to your lifestyle and needs and always make sure the workout is something to look forward to rather than something you just have to do! Highly recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Jamie for around 9 - 10 months and that to anyone that knows me knows that this is a miracle, as I am not a naturally sporty person, I have also struggled with my weight for most of my adult life and I LOATHE gyms finding them utterly intimidating. Some how Jamie has managed to take all of the above worked with it and helped me achieve some pretty good results. I turned 40 this year and I am slimmer, fitter, stronger and more confident with exercise than I have ever been in my whole life because of my personal training sessions with him. He is incredibly calm, makes the sessions fun and plays to my strengths. I always feel challenged but never feel out of my depth. Training with Jamie is one best decisions I have made and all the team at Twist are really welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Twist for about 3 months now and it is perfect for me. It has all the facilities but its intimate space means you can really focus on working with your trainer and won’t feel intimidated by other people working out around you. My trainer, Harry Cox, is great: very knowledgeable and able to adapt to my individual needs. He is a really friendly guy and sets you at ease so you don’t feel intimidated or out of your depth, yet he still pushes you to do your best. I’ve seen real improvement in my fitness and confidence since I started with him, and I no longer fear exercise (I actually enjoy it!). I was a total fitness novice before, dying if ran for a bus and terrified to go to a gym. Now, thanks to Harry I can run without fear of death! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Twist studios is like a little community. Personal training sessions with Adam are tough but enjoyable and very good value for money. He pushes you to your limit, which is what I love. I have definitely noticed the benefit of training with him every week. I wouldn't train anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Jamie in February this year to lose some weight before my wedding in September. I lost 10kgs in 7 months! Jamie not only helped me with increasing my fitness but also guided me on my diet through food diaries. I have continued to see Jamie after my wedding as I enjoy my new found level of fitness. Jamie is fun and makes you work hard while at the same time making you laugh! The sessions are different every time and you feel yourself getting stronger which has a positive impact on you psychologically! I also regularly attend the different twist classes that include boxercise and high intensity interval training. The classes are not intimidating and the trainers are fun but make you work hard! I would totally recommend twist studios!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Twist Studios for 5 years. I’d just had an operation on my ankle and was extremely unfit. In the last 5 years I’ve completed 4 half distance Ironman triathlons and last year achieved a lifetime dream of completing the London Marathon. I couldn’t have done any of this without Adam. Twist is great for all abilities and will support you whatever your goals. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Twist for well over 2 years now. Since which I have run 2 marathons, lost weight, toned up and feel more alive generally. Adam and his trainers know their stuff and how to help you reach your goals. It is a very friendly environment, just beware those total body workouts! ;)

Fantastic experience: I was invited to a boxing class at Twist Studios by Adam's wife (lovely Chloe) after having my first child 7 yrs ago. Since that first introduction I have been attending classes at Twist with great enthusiasm! I love Twist!! It's a great place to work out. No session is the same and you always leave having had a great workout....lots of sweat and achy muscles!! The staff are wonderful & friendly. Since being a member I have completed 2 half marathons and other shorter distance races which I am proud of, and I generally feel a lot fitter and stronger! Thank you so much Adam and your team at Twist! x

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Twist studios! Everyone there is lovely and the studio is intimate which I like. I can even bring my son along with me also which is great! I have been having PT sessions with Carlene since February and she is an amazing PT! Carlene works you very hard, is very motivating and makes (some ;) ) of the sessions a lot of fun also! I love our work outs.together every week and I’m over the moon with my results so far! Thank you Carlene!! Will definitely be part of twist studios for a long time! Would highly recommend! :) #TeamTwist

Fantastic experience: Started training here 8 months ago. I had a shoulder injury I wanted to strengthen and I wanted to improve my general fitness. My trainer Jaime has been amazing and within weeks I saw a difference. It's a fun, friendly atmosphere at the studio. I will definitely continue to go and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This place is run by really lovely, friendly people who know what they're doing. I really recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Fun place to get fit!

Fantastic experience: The best personal training and classes around if you want to be pushed to another level of fitness and to see clear results (with lots of laughs included to get you through it)

Fantastic experience: Adam is an expert in his field and his energy is infectious! I recommend Twist Studios to anyone with health & fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I started at Twist studios in April.It has been an incredible positive experience.Never having been to a gym as an adult I was pretty nervous but Adam and Jen really put me at ease.I was pretty much starting from scratch and Jen has enabled me to regain a great level of fitness,the one on one sessions have helped me both mentally and physically.I highly recommend this gym and the staff.I go twice a week and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.Go check it out you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Adam for 6 weeks before my holiday, and the results I got were superb, he is very knowledgeable which is want you want in a PT.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. We train with Adam. He pushes us hard and you can see the progress and results. On top of that he is a great guy.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Twist for over 3 years, and am so much fitter, stronger and healthier as a result. Its a great place to achieve some goals and find some new ones. I actually miss when I can't make my sessions, and I say this despite waking up today feeling like i had a fight with a wrecking ball after training yesterday.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been going to Twist for 2 years now and could not be more positive about Twist. Personal training sessions are always varied and push us out of our comfort zones with great results.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Adam Double for almost 5 years. I have moved out of the area but still come and train twice a week. He understands my needs as a performer, pushes me to do things I never thought possible and is constantly changing training to make it fun and interesting.

Fantastic experience: Adam and the Twist team are great. They're not intimidating but they know how to push you to achieve. Every session is different and you can really see the difference in fitness.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym :). I go to boxercise and masterclass which are both challenging and great fun. The staff are always friendly and welcoming! I Always look forward to going twist studios and am glad to be part of the twist community.

Fantastic experience: Quality staff, quality training especially with Adam,The guy knows his stuff. He keeps it interesting, fun and I can't wait to train again. Highly recommended twist studio.

Fantastic experience: Twist studios is truley outstanding and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to any individuals. The service is great and tailored approach to sessions means that any individual with any goals is welcome!

Fantastic experience: "I've been going to Twist Studios for over a year now and I have to say it's one of the best gyms I have been to. From day one the team at Twist really listen to your own personal goals and each training session is created with these in mind. I have seen a major improvement in my fitness level over the last year and I actually look forward to going to the gym now."

Fantastic experience: I've been having regular personal training with Adam for 8 years and he's taken me from a couch potato who needed help with back pain and weight issues to Triathlons, half marathons and overall fitness and wellness levels I could only dream of. All the team at Twist are professional, motivating and personable, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Twist Studios enough. My training regime was in tatters and I had a massive blip with keeping myself healthy. The staff at Twist Studios were all welcoming and demonstrated empathy. Now I am back to training regularly and I have never felt better! Thanks for all your help Twist! I will be back for another block of personal training very very soon!!

Fantastic experience: Big thumbs up for Twist Studios!! The classes are always different, creative and fun, which takes the choir feeling out of exercising. I initially joined to train for a half marathon (to which Adam personally turned up to support me), but then continued visiting the classes even after I completed it. Friendly, sociable environment with really possitive, noticable results!

Fantastic experience: Have been doing PT sessions at Twist with my husband every week for almost a year, its great! Adam makes you work hard but he know his stuff. Baby & Pre natal friendly too!

Fantastic experience: Everything you could want from a fitness studio. Diligent management, inspiring trainers, warming community. I lost kilos and gained insight - you will too!
