South Coast Fitness: Opinions

Michael Singleton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a 6-week program at South Coast Fitness, and it was a fantastic experience! Lee and Dean were incredible instructors who not only taught me how to use the machines properly but also introduced me to a variety of workouts and crucial nutrition tips. I noticed great changes in my body, and my clothes fit so much better! The environment at South Coast Fitness is truly supportive. Everyone encouraged each other, which really boosted my confidence in returning to the gym. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone looking to make a positive change. Even as the program wrapped up, Lee was genuinely helpful, offering tips and advice without any pressure to join the yearly membership. I would love to continue full-time, but finances just wouldn’t allow it. Overall, a top-notch experience and I’ll definitely rejoin in the future!

Thank you for leaving us a review Michael, it's much appreciated. It would be great to have you back with us in the future. Awesome results for your 6 weeks, 2.3kg body fat dropped and 1.5kg lean mass gained is fantastic work! Well done!

Tom Douglas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend SCF enough! Lee is a great coach and learnt so much as a beginner to fitness and nutrition. Great results and have learnt all the key skills to continue my fitness journey.

Danielle 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: SCF is a truly special place for many reasons; the positive impact this community has made to my physical and mental health is profound. The team are some of the most supportive, caring and fun individuals I have ever met. Lee, Dean and Luke all go above and beyond to encourage us to reach our full potential whilst offering their knowledge and guidance about both training and nutrition. I think what stands out most to me is how genuine they are. From the start, Lee has been incredibly approachable and understanding - he is just a really down to earth person. As a type 1 diabetic, I have struggled to maintain my blood sugars when changing exercise regimes regularly and what has been so wonderful here is that I can add variety to my routines whilst keeping consistency. This has changed my life greatly and I will be forever grateful for this.

We are grateful to have you with us Danielle! You have taken on board everything we have said and dedicated yourself to the programme. Your fantastic 6 week results show the commitment to yourself and I am excited to see what you can achieve on the longterm programme. Thanks Danielle for leaving us such a lovely review!

Sam Pearson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Walking into SCF is hands down one of the best decisions I have made for myself in years, my only regret is not starting sooner! Nervous and a complete novice when it came to anything fitness, diet or weights related, I was instantly put at ease by Lee, Dean and Luke. All hugely knowledgeable, encouraging and on hand whenever to answer questions and to support your journey throughout. This is the first gym I have ever walked into and instantly felt comfortable. The team are the most friendly and inspiring bunch I have met, with lots of banter and laughs to keep you going. I enjoy every session that I do, they are varied and fun and I really feel like I achieve something every time I’m there. I only intended on staying for 6 weeks but have loved it so much and have seen such great results, I’m now signed up as a full time member of the team and can’t wait to see how far I can progress. I highly recommend South Coast Fitness to anyone wanting a new challenge. I was asked to trust the process, I did, and it works! Smashing individual goals as a team. Thank you Lee, Dean, Luke and the SCF team

Jane Thompson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Lee and his team at SC Fitness are simply superb – you will not be disappointed :-) Whether you are a newbie to the gym scene, have faced obstacles such as injury or just fed up with the sterile impersonal feel of the corporate chains, this is a fantastic place to take your first or experienced next step. Lee is a true master of his craft, a real professional, whose expert knowledge of fitness, technique and nutrition is second to none. He is thoughtful, measured, asks brilliant questions, supports and always motivates – all in order to guide you effectively as you work towards your personal goals. A warm welcome will greet you not only from Lee and the team, but also from the friendly and supportive community who train. I’m in my 50s and I have never been a ‘gym bunny’ (for me personally, a place to be avoided in the past!) but SCF is very different – now it is a pleasure to attend. I started with PT sessions to build core strength & stability, something I’d not achieved before due to limitations from surgery. Lee’s patience and tailored approach was perfect for me, for the first time I have really noticed the difference. I feel stronger, energised and more agile in my movement. I’ve now ‘graduated’ to the classes and I haven’t looked back. Look no further, have a chat with Lee, hopefully you’ll sign up and enjoy the journey from day 1 :-)

Kate O 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Why should you join SCF? Well, I started six weeks ago but it already feels like I’ve been there my whole life. I’ve grown so much in that short amount of time, not just physically but mentally too; it sounds cringy but it feels like my second home. I’ve never met someone so passionate and motivated as Lee is; his drive inspires everyone to challenge themselves, which has created a culture where everyone feels welcome just as they are, without feeling intimidated or scared to make a mistake. Don’t get me wrong, the first session is intimidating haha but everyone knows what that feels like, and we all want to help where we can, whether that’s pointing you in the right direction with exercises or just chit-chatting! I can only echo the rest of the 5 star reviews about how amazing the whole team is and the facilities are. I love the focus on nutrition as well as exercise and the coaching I’ve received already has taught me so much. Everyone is in it together and on their own journey, I feel so grateful to have met a community of people that I know I’ll always be welcomed back to. We all support each other in a way that’s unique to everyone, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me here. SCF is going to only going to continue to thrive!

We love having you are part of the team Kate. I’m super proud of the progress you have made so far. Seeing your technique improve and you gaining strength is fantastic and then the results on the Styku confirming you have built muscle and dropped body fat, improving bone mass and decreased visceral fat is incredible!! Kate you are definitely winning!! I thank you for taking the time to leave us a review see you next session

Beccy K 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Being in my 50’s there comes a time when you just know you’ve got to sort your stuff out. Being physically weaker and fatter than ever before was uncomfortable- and then thank goodness, I found SCF. Lee is ridiculously motivating and there is nothing he does not know about fitness and nutrition. Supported by Dean and James you know you are in safe hands. The first session of anything is daunting, but EVERYONE is so welcoming… The group sessions have a 1-2-1 feel and someone always has an eye on your form and effort, encouraging more than you think you can give- and that’s the value of SCF. Sessions are challenging and varied every day and I have never not looked forward to training. I was never going to stay longer than six weeks at SCF, I’ve now joined and could not imagine life without training as hard as this. The mental change in me is profound and physically I’m so much stronger and enjoying the journey back to optimum health. My only regret is that I procrastinated way too long in making the changes in my life

Thank you for the lovely review Beccy! It is great to have you as part of the team, you work hard every session and your results show that.29.7cm dropped in total 25.2cm from the torso 3.4kg of body fat 0.1kg visceral fat Dropped 4.8kg in total body weight in 6 weeks! Your strength has improved massively alongside your fitness! I can’t wait to see what you achieve in the next few months.

Miffy Monkey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently signed up to the 6 week plan as being an unfit 48yr man, wanting to get back to playing regular football again and loosing some weight I hadn’t trained properly for 3 years but finding Lee and his team at SCF really easy to talk too and they are really interested in finding what your goals are and how to achieve them The range of gym equipment and sessions are set up so you work every part of your body The help with my diet & nutritional support is really good too Everybody who trains is great and very friendly and really supportive and helps you through it when needed I now feel more stronger and more energised than ever and it’s all down to making that leap of faith and saying you can do this!!

Patricia Barrenengoa 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Experience of 10! I am delighted with this gym and my trainers. It's the first time in my life that I've been able to go to the gym regularly and even feel like going, it's become an essential part of my routine. The trainers manage to make the classes very enjoyable and personalised so that anyone can do them. They help you and correct you in everything so that you continue to improve. It also includes monitoring and advice on the diet that best suits you according to your goals. The atmosphere is very positive and there is a very good vibe. Highly recommended :)

Jon blake 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a 6 week program with Lee and Dean and I can’t recommend SCF enough. The sessions were intuitive and well thought out. The group sessions were easy to book and all the guys there we very welcoming and friendly. I trained with some great people in a similar boat to me and all the sessions were worked out to cater for all abilities. Although the sessions were in a group, it felt like 1-2-1 training with the guidance given. The knowledge these guys have is second to none. I’ve learnt so much and can’t thank Lee and Dean enough! Highly recommend anyone who’s interested in building confidence, strength and fitness to get in touch with Lee and make a change!

Blakey the difference in your technique and strength from week 1 to week 6 was incredible! Gaining 0.9kg of muscle & dropping 0.9kg of body fat is an impressive result in only 6 weeks. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review mate. It’s very much appreciated

Paul Biggs 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely recommend this fantastic gym!. Lee and the team really know their stuff and guided me in putting on just under 4kg of muscle in just 6 weeks! There's so much more to be said about this place and definitely greater then a commercial gym, the trainers guide you through specially designed group training program that makes the most out of every exercise and producing real results. You won't find a better gym, trainers or atmosphere.

Nancy Devine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined SCF in November 23. I have always struggled with my weight and what to eat etc. after 4 months of training, support and guidance I am beginning to learn more about nutrition and what works for me. I feel I have a way of living now (not a diet!) and the knowledge to make better choices on what I can eat. No fad diets, no going without, no hunger pangs anymore. I can’t thank Lee enough for keeping things simple to understand for me … it might have taken me until 41 to make changes but im confident I can build on them and can’t wait to see what results i can achieve with SCF going forwards ❤️

Fantastic experience: Styku & SCF When Lee 1st introduced the Styku into South Coast Fitness I was petrified of it. I thought I knew what it would say about my body (all negative of course) but, with the encouragement & support I always get from Lee, it didn’t take long for me to start thinking about the positives I would gain from seeing my results and having an actual goal … so I did it!! The experience was so positive I don’t know what I was scared of !! It wasn’t at all intimidating and my results were so much better than I expected !! (Must stop giving myself such a hard time) Thankyou Lee for your encouragement and support, I’m now more focused than ever and would encourage anyone who may be scared to just give it a go and you might be pleasantly surprised

It’s amazing having expertise and passion on hand and even now after 5 years I learn new things. Each session is varied and I love that you get a full body workout. SCF is just part of my life for not only my body but also my mind. 100% without a doubt feel better after every session

Ellie Taylor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: South Coast fitness is more than a gym. It’s a community, it’s accountability. I’ve done one-to-one personal training and in a member of David Lloyd and this has been a revelation - the combination of training in a group with plenty of support and advice to prevent injury plus that team spirit - it’s the secret sauce. In just a couple of months, I’m noticing a change in my strength, my mobility and it’s changing my relationship to movement + excercise. I’ve just been ill for a fortnight and I came back to my 3 sessions a week quicker than I would’ve done if I was doing it under my own steam. I also love the unlimited sessions included in the fixed monthly price. There’s no way I could do personal training that often otherwise. Most importantly, you’re encouraged to just get in and have a go. You don’t have to be superfit to start and the group sessions are really fun, friendly and supportive:) if you’re tired of starting over - over and over again, and you want to feel strong, vital, and more motivated + change your relationship to exercise and your physical body.. This is for you.

Provides skilled nutritional advice and structured training plans. Phil ensures your technique is on point, encouraging you to push yourself. Been training for a number of years, worked with different PT’s but Phil has proven to be by far the best, with whose input I’ve achieved the most!!

Fiona Wilks 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am just starting out with my SCF journey, but already I know that I'm onto a winner. My relationship with exercise and the gym has been a rollercoaster over the years, with the absolute low being walking out of a big box gym halfway through my workout because I just hated the atmosphere in there. The waiting around to get on the machine I wanted, the constant side-eyes from people who are waiting to use it once I did finally get on. You don’t have to worry about any of that with SCF!! The space is fantastic, and the group sizes are perfect for the exercises that you do. I’ve already been challenged by so many unique exercises that I had never done before, and I’m feeling stronger than ever. The atmosphere is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. The girls are so lovely and all cheer you on and will do so from day one. Straight away on walking in, you get the sense that it’s one big happy fitness family! Lee and Dean are SO knowledgeable and passionate about helping you get the absolute best out of your workout, it’s been so great to learn from them and I can’t wait to keep going. Thank you Lee for cultivating such an amazing place to train

Angela Toth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fear will always hold you back and if you’re holding yourself back, how will you ever move forward? This was my main issue. This changed the moment I met Lee. His welcoming smile and kind mannerisms is just the cover of who he actually is. The knowledge , understanding, and enthusiasm he has for his business and his clients is one to be praised. I have struggled with a few mobility issues for more than twenty years. My hips were in constant pain and woke me up multiple times a night. I’ve had every test, scan, and therapy option there is to relieve this and with no luck. I expressed to Lee my hip issues along with my ongoing paralyzing sciatic nerve issues due to an injury. Lee took this all on board and within 8 weeks I was sleeping, walking, and strength training with ZERO PAIN! I can even sit cross legged and I have NEVER been able too! I cannot express enough how my life has changed for just those two injuries that have now left me. I say HAD because it’s been months now and I have put it out of my continuous thoughts. My journey of weight loss and self love has changed. It’s still a work in progress but I’m getting there at a healthy pace with the support physically and mentally. Going to the “gym” excites me and I’m always looking forward to my next session. It doesn’t feel like hard work even though it’s physically challenging in a positive environment. If you are looking for a gym that feels like home, where you’re comfortable, respected, and loved. This is your place. Come join our beautiful family.

Fantastic experience: South Coast Fitness is a friendly, welcoming gym. It has all the equipment you need whilst also having lots of space to train. All the people at SCF are likeminded and want to see each other succeed no matter the goal. There are varied classes for people of mixed abilities and ages so plenty of opportunity to get to know knew people and have fun! The main reason I like the facilities is because of the varied equipment and accommodating staff:)

Kate 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My 1 year on review - I’ve amazed myself! Im proud of my achievements! I can now deadlift 90kg in reps! .. … Once someone who shied away from a gym I now miss it if I don’t go . In the last 12 months the improvement in my strength, mobility and mental clarity is huge and that’s all thanks to Lee and Dean at SCF. You really do reap the benefits of the hard work you put in and these guys have your back! . Your gains don’t happen over night and they won’t suggest otherwise , it is a life style change in both the way you exercise and your nutrition. SCF is an incredible support for achieving your goals. The knowledge Lee & Dean provide alongside the other members encouragement, love and support makes this gym a special place . Working out is finally enjoyable and I highly recommend signing up to a membership and joining the small group PT sessions.... ❤️

Fantastic experience: Lee and his team have created a fantastic gym for small group training opportunities that encourages each person to develop and train at their own level/ pace. SCF has a positive atmosphere with a family like feel to the place where everyone is made to feel welcomed and included. No egos here, lots of fun and encouragement. Can’t recommend it enough!

Nicola Wayman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see Lee in February 2023, following recommendation from a few friends. I was suffering with long term debilitating hip bursa pain which meant I could not sit for longer than 30 mins…. let alone exercise much. After numerous tests & scans - the only option I was left with appeared to be surgery. I was really only hoping for some advice and some 1:1 rehab sessions to help with the pain so I didn’t need an operation. Fast forward 7 months……..NO op & NO pain! I am enjoying 3 “small group” PT sessions a week. I have built muscle and am also fitter & stronger than I have ever been before. I am also just about to walk a marathon in Edinburgh! As well as the physical side, I have also been educated in the benefits of consistent training & good nutrition. I now understand that the “weight” figure on those scales is not that important….it’s HOW that weight is made up that IS important. I thought small group PT sessions may be intimidating but every member has been so welcoming and supportive from Day 1. We are a group of all ages and all abilities encouraging each other to do THEIR best. These small sessions not only build your confidence but also mean your technique is constantly being checked so there is much less chance of injury. I can’t thank Lee & the team enough. As an added bonus, Lee is also very knowledgeable & understanding with menopausal ladies - and copes very well with my “brain fog” during sessions!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to SCF for 4 months now and I’m so pleased I found them! Lee & the team are fantastic and have been so welcoming and supportive since day 1! They really tailor each session to the class and I’ve honestly never found working out to be so enjoyable. Never repetitive and the time just flies by! They differ from other fitness venues I have been to in the way that they are so personable and have really created a fantastic community. If you’re looking to improve your fitness and have fun while you’re doing it, i would highly recommend considering SCF! :-)

Fantastic experience: Found Lee on Facebook. Offered a free trial to see if I liked it. And it has been the best decision I've ever made. Lee and Dean are fantastic and they have helped me massively on my journey. I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Not normally a one for leaving reviews but South Coast Fitness definitely deserves a 5* one! The idea of getting a PT in a mainstream gym scared me senseless due to insecurities and feeling a bit intimidated at barely being able to lift the weight of a teaspoon! Instead opted to try a small PT group at South Coast Fitness and I can hand on heart say Lee and everyone in the groups are so positive & supportive and the set up is great! I’ve loved the discipline that small group training has brought into my week and bettered my mentality to want to get off my a** and get active. Everyone is so lovely and dare I say it- for the first time in years I really look forward to exercising! And even wanting to do more! It’s worked wonders for my mental health and confidence as well as already reducing RSI related shoulder pain in a very short space of time. I’m hooked! Anyone umming and arring about the idea of starting should just bite the bullet and do it! Come join in the fun!

Phil Cronchey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: “Lee has provided me with some excellent workouts with diverse forms of excersice, he keeps me constantly motivated. He helps push me to the limits of my own personal endurance. I think he's helped increase my fitness capability, to where I now feel more comfortable and feel better about myself … He is a great trainer!” "The atmosphere in the sessions are warm and relaxed, very friendly. Even though you sense the serious commitment Lee has for his Job, he still finds time for some lighthearted banter amongst the group." “I've noticed that rather than the lethargy I used to get around that time of the day, going into the gym after my workout left me buzzing.” "As a middleaged man with a family and busy life-style, I found it difficult to motivate myself where excercise was concerned. But I feel Ive got alot more vitality than I did before since going to SCF, and I think it definitely improved my self esteem and overall mental health."

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Phil, we are very grateful.When you first started with us at SCF one of the main issues you brought to our attention was that you suffered with back pain. A few months in and posture has improved alongside strength and stamina and you don't have the back pain you once did. A massive win!!Glad to have you are part of the team Phil. See you at the next session!

Fantastic experience: I started the small group training sessions a month ago and it already feels like one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Every week I can feel myself getting fitter and stronger and my mental health has improved so much. I leave every session feeling energised and I love it! Lee is really knowledgeable and so encouraging. The girls have all made me feel so welcome at the sessions and inspire me to push myself…I would encourage anyone looking to get fitter, stronger and to improve their mental health to join South Coast Fitness

Dom Elliott 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My Partner and I commenced a ten-week personal training programme at South Coast Fitness. Our trainer Lee (And Gym Owner), from the first day was very welcoming and professional. This compared very positively in comparison to previous gyms we have been members of. The gym itself is fully equipped with all the latest training equipment and facilities, covering and extensive range of training requirements. During our first introduction, Lee discussed with us individual personal needs, and devised our own training and diet plans accordingly. His support throughout the ten-week programme went over and beyond what we could have wished for. We would highly recommend this Gym and Lee to anyone, seeking a less commercial and more friendly, supportive, and non-intimidating environment. Rating for Lee and his Gym, South Coast Fitness 11 out of 10

Fantastic experience: So happy we found Lee at South Coast Fitness! Since my 14 year old son started training with Lee not only has his fitness improved, he has become so much happier and more confident. Lee’s approach is dedicated and kind, I would really recommend him as PT.

Thank you for the lovely review.I have loved seeing the changes within LD. He now walks through the door a completely different lad to the one that first started 3 months ago. LD has taken onboard my advise and been consistent, he's cleaned up his nutrition and snacking habits, drinking more water, he's getting earlier nights and completing he's stretches (the work that needs to be done outside the gym!!) He deserves to feel and look the way he does!!Lad moment...May I just add, LD has started shoulder pressing 17.5kg dumbbells for 12 reps with fantastic form. At 14 this is super impressive!! 3 months ago he was using 8kg dumbbells. LD has improved through all his movements but this is one that stands out for me.Keep up the great work LD!

Max Amey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have trained at this gym since August 2021. It is very convenient for my location, as I work a few minutes away. Upon initially walking into the gym on day one I was welcomed warmly and the owner introduced me to himself. How many times will the gym owner greet you, shake your hand and welcome you in? that instantly sent the message of a great place for me to train. I specialise in Powerlifting and have all the equipment and more that I could ever dream of. There is always a great atmosphere and every person who walks through the door treats each other with respect and is friendly. If you're looking for a gym that has all the equipment you would need, members of staff who are helpful and willing to give you any attention needed that will help towards your goals and a fun thriving atmosphere. THIS IS THE PLACE!

Fantastic experience: South Coast Fitness is a fantastic place to meet likeminded people and to get fitter and healthier. The place is very welcome for all and training is adjusted based on each person’s level of ability which is great. Since attending for the last few months i feel so much stronger. Coaches Lee and Dean are extremely knowledgeable and they keep and eye on your technique and how you move with each exercise and encourage you to keep challenging yourself, or offer alternatives if needed. Exercises are varied regularly and are functional and i feel like i am using my body in a way that i have not used in a while. Its fascinating how creative they are with their exercise selection. Its one of the best places i have ever been to and planning on coming back as i think i am slightly addicted to it now thanks guys what a great job you are doing!

Suzanne Charles 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Lee for well over 4 years now, following a recommendation from a friend. I spend most of my time weight training and have PT in order to develop technique and strength. I also attend Bootcamps and classes whenever I can which are a lot of fun and a great way to push myself even harder. More recently I've been to Lee for sports massages which help ease out any stiffness and soreness, and helps protect me from injury. Lee is easy to get along with, extremely knowledgeable and motivates me to keep pushing to meet my goals and to continue making new ones. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Donna Morton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When my brother suggested I do a boot camp with him I was terrified. Ridiculously unfit and overweight I decided I didn’t have anything to loose. Lee completely changed my mindset when it came to working out. He was encouraging yet held me accountable. He pushed me but he gave me the knowledge which gave me the confidence to go to the gym on my own. Most of all he made me feel 100 per cent comfortable at all times. I felt empowered not judged. Lee and south cost fitness have become my haven. I’m back at the beginning now after having my son but I know with Lee and the team I can achieve my goals. Take that step you won’t regret it !

South Coast Fitness

I remember when you first turn’t up to bootcamp. Nervous and unsure of what to expect but you did what you could and rested when you needed. Took to it like a duck to water... an now you’re part of the family!Glad to say we’ve seen you move from strength to strength in fitness and confidence Donna... you should be very proud or yourself!

Alex Finlay 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Professional, thorough, worth every penny. Had two sports massages so far with Lee and I would highly recommend. Tailors his session based on what you need doing and in some respects your pain threshold as well. After 2 I already feel a lot better but need more work doing so will be booking PT sessions with Lee as well. Very reasonably priced for the great service you receive.

Spyros 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am a sports man and do an office work. I have huge injuries and big problems especially with my back & hips which are coming from bodybuilding and the office work as I sit 8 hours every day. I saw chiropractors and doctors that couldn't help me wasting my time and make me believe that one day I will be normal again and able to sleep and walk without back pain. Lee is the person you have to see. He address my problems immediately. He start working on my body with passion to fix my injuries and control the pains I have. You can see his passion when he is working on you and the effort he puts to make all these muscles feel better. I promise you that if you see him once then you will keep seen him for the rest of your life as he is the person who can fix your injuries. So do not waste your time with chiropractors or doctors or even commercial massage especially if you a sporty person and you have injuries coming from your sport. Try to see Lee and he will make you again feel normal and injury free person! Lee thank you very much, appreciate you trying to help me. This is the first time after decades I can sleep pain free!!!

Lee is so knowledgable and professional and really helped me improve my technique. I now do the small group classes three times a week and I love them! Couldn’t recommend lee more highly!

Kerry Penney 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 7 day free trial with South Coast Fitness just before Christmas, I can honestly say it's been the best decision. I was incredibly nervous but Lee and the rest of the girls made me feel so welcome. I now do the small group sessions twice a week and genuinely look forward to going. Everyone is very friendly (we laugh a lot) and there is no judgement (which was a huge thing for me). I've got a long way to go but finally feel like I am on the right track. Give it a go people you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Lee is awesome and as much as we all hate him whilst we are being pushed to be the best versions of ourselves every person that leaves after a session comes away feeling amazing and wanting more. Lee has done so much for me in the last 7 months, I was not only underweight but lacking in confidence too.... I now feel happier, healthier and stronger. I highly recommend Lee, he is always smiling and full of energy..... Even if we're not!

Fantastic experience: Lee is a very accomplished trainer and always explains exactly what each exercise is aiming to achieve. I have been going regularly once a week for just over a year and the improvement for me both physically and mentally is terrific. I am 79 years old and with Lee 's care and attention feel better than I have done for years. I highly recommend anyone to give it a try regardless of their age. Well done Lee.

Fantastic experience: I came to Lee following rota cuff surgery, with the following prime objectives. - Increase the mobility and strength of my shoulder. - Increase my overall strength/fitness. While I’m a project it it’s early days and still in progress, I have made significant gains in a limited period of time which I was not expecting. Lee is a great motivator, and has encourage me to make changes in life which will only help deliver the success of my personal goals set.

Matthew Howard 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen loads of different people for a shoulder Injury sustained from training at my gym... it went on for nearly a year with no improvement. Lee was recommended to me and even after the first session I could feel the difference... making a full recovery after 3 sessions... SCF doesn’t just look at the problem head on, he uses his own extensive gym experience and takes different approaches to fixing it..I now see Lee on a weekly basis..keeps me in the gym! Highly recommend.. look no further !
