Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym, been going there for over a year and really enjoy it. Very friendly with ladies and gents changing rooms and showers. They also have a coffee bar for coffee and milkshakes and a fridge with cold drinks in.

Fantastic experience: Love this place…. The team are so helpful and really push you through the sessions, everyone who attends has a smile and always make you feel welcome from the first time you go. Would highly recommend you give this place a go. I have never felt this good from working out and love the events that are run. If you are not sure if this is for you just talk to them and they will show you the best sessions to start with and then you will be hooked. Don’t miss out Thank you Airborne fit team and members

Fantastic experience: It's simply the best gym I've ever been part of and I've been a member for almost 4 years. Owners, trainers, members. Surround yourself with like minded, supportive people, work out at your own pace and enjoy the benefits. Exceptionally clean standards, well organised and varied classes, including a 2 weekly run club. A safe place to work out. Check out the 2 weeks free trial and come see what it's all about. You will not regret it. It's more than just a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of ABF since the very beginning & have never looked back. The gym & classes are excellent, but it's more than that, Luke & his staff, the coaches and all of his members are a TEAM - nothing beats it!

Fantastic experience: I met Luke back in 2016 when he came for Sports Massage & I joined Airborne soon after. I now have the pleasure of being a part of the coaching team & a consistently strong community of legends.

Fantastic experience: Luke Read is the real deal. He was an elite special forces solider and now owns and run the best gym in Suffolk. I recently mentioned to Luke that I wanted to run a particular time for an upcoming 10km running race. I had 5/6 week’s preparation. Here is the deal with Luke, if you are all in and will put the work in, he’s got your back. Luke made an online program for me to follow, which makes things very easy as all you need to do is turn up, do the work and trust the process. Luke also agreed to run the race with me and he took me for a gruelling training hill session as well. I ended up running the race 2.5 minutes better than the time I was aiming for, it was during the race and when running the hills that you realise just what an elite trainer Luke is. His prompts are exactly what is needed at the exact time and it gives you the boost that is needed to achieve your target/goal. Luke Read is the real deal.”

Fantastic experience: Our company worked with Luke and the team at Airborne Fit to arrange a Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge event that we used as a social and team building exercise for interested members of our company. From the outset, Airborne's organisation, planning, communication and guidance was amazing and completely exceeded our expectations. The event itself was enjoyed by everyone who took part, as we managed to complete the hike within the planned time and it was an incredibly rewarding experience for all of us to have done it together. The mountain guides, who were part of the Airborne team, knew the route inside out, and it meant that we could all just focus on walking and talking rather than checking maps and straying in the wrong direction. If you're considering arranging a social, charity or team-building event outdoors, I'd highly recommend speaking to Luke and his team at Airborne. We're already planning to join them next year for the National 3 Peaks Challenge and cannot wait!

Fantastic experience: I joined Airborne Fit back in 2016 and haven't looked back. A mix of classes and personal training have allowed me to run the Paris marathon, local 10k races, climb the Yorkshire three peaks and more. It pushes you to your limits in the best way and you meet the most amazing people along the way. It's definitely more than a gym it's a lifestyle/community that I am so pleased to be part of. Plus, they also do the best protein shakes!

Trevor Dixon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Airborne in May 2022 and it’s been life changing in so many ways. Up to last year I had just managed C25k. In my late 40s, I had never even been inside a gym, so I was so nervous. It was amazing from the start, everyone, yes everyone at Airborne makes you feel so welcome, you are truly part of something special and I’ve made some great new friends. With the help of Luke, MJ and the other fantastic instructors, my all round well being and lifestyle is so much better than a year ago. Don’t hesitate, give it a go as it’s a decision you won’t regret!

Fantastic experience: Airborne Fit is, without exception, the best gym in Suffolk! I was introduced to Luke over 6 years ago….I had recently turned 50, was incredibly unfit and heading towards an unhealthy future with limited choices. From the very beginning, Luke has always made my journey personal and achievable. His belief in me helped me to build confidence in myself so that I can now proudly say that I actively look for opportunities to push myself to achieve more. Airborne Fit was a godsend in lockdown, providing motivational workouts online, well-being support in the form of a Monday morning “coffee morning” via zoom as well as challenges which kept the whole community together. The Airborne community is inclusive and supportive wherever you are in your fitness journey. There is always a friendly face to welcome you, share a “high five” or fist bump whether you have just completed your first class or, achieved a personal challenge. The trainers are absolutely the spoke in this amazing wheel….whether it is providing encouragement, planning challenging classes, supporting the community to complete a team challenge or to just offer a listening ear….they have so many fantastic qualities and nothing is too much for them. I have tried many gyms over the years but have never found anything as perfect as Airborne Fit and that’s not just for me….it’s perfect for everyone wherever you are in your journey because everyone’s journey matters. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed and with two weeks free, what have you got to loose?

Fantastic experience: Airborne Fit changes lives. Simple. To call it a gym would be a huge disservice to the uniqueness of the experiences that it provides. When I think of a gym, I think of rows of machines with lots of people doing their own thing. Airborne is the polar opposite of this. It is an open, non-judgemental community of like minded people. Of all shapes, sizes, abilities all on their own journey but motivating, supporting and celebrating successes together. It is about the people. I've never felt comfortable in gyms or taking part in fitness activities generally. But I would gladly do an Airborne class 8 days a week If you have a target in mind or something you are aiming at, join up and you'll smash it

Fantastic experience: I joined Airborne Fit about 5 years ago. They kept me sane during lockdown and I came out much fitter and motivated to continue my journey- I am now nearly 60 and I have continued to be supported on my journey by all the staff and members. I have now run several mud races, 10k's , climbed snowdon on the hottest day 2021 and also completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks. Not a gym for posers but for people who want to get stuck in and have fun with the gang. Fantastic and challenging classes great and knowledgeable supportive staff. I never thought I would be so fit and enthusiastic about fitness and this is solely due to the people around me.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for a just over a year and a half now. Luke, MJ and the team are absolutely brilliant. It's the first place I've felt comfortable to go from day one. Lots of encouragement and support no matter where you are on your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Airborne Fit provides a friendly community focused service that is welcoming to all ages and all levels of fitness It is continually adapting and improving to ensure that the classes are balanced, but never stale and the staff generate a friendly but energetic atmosphere. During the pandemic, the team adapted rapidly and employed methods such as Zoom & regular challenges to ensure it could continue to provide services to allow members to maintain their fitness and subsequent mental health. This has proven to be priceless to many people..

Fantastic experience: Airborne fit is truly a unique gym with a strong community spirit. Members are very welcoming and continuously encouraging, inspiring and supporting each other. A true reflection to the efforts of Luke and MJ, who go above and beyond their duty towards every member. They often set challenges to suit everyone and provide awesome classes where you will have a good sweat and a sense of achievement. A gym like no other, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Frances Finch 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Prior to joining Airborne Fit I exercised because I knew I should. Airborne Fit has transformed that mentality into exercise now being something I love and look forward to, week in and week out. The classes, along with the atmosphere when you're in them, are addictive, the facilities are spotless and the staff are just incredible at what they do. Cannot recommend it enough.

Hayley Bowler 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to some of the airborne fit classes after having my second child. I felt very self conscious after having children of my appearance and of my fitness ability. I was recommended to go to the classes, and I am so glad that I made that effort to go, everyone is very friendly and not judgmental, there are all abilities and ages which puts you at ease. Luke and the other trainers are so professional and encouraging. I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you for giving me my confidence back.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to have served in the Parachute Regiment with Luke and 3 years ago I bumped into him. He told me of his dream and his plans for Airborne Fit and as soon as he opened the gym I joined! The gym, the facilities, the members, the staff, the atmosphere and the family vibe is like no other! Airborne Fit isn't just a gym.. it is more than that! There is no pressure and it is suitable for all abilities. The PT's are keen, motivated and driven and are always willing to offer advice and answer any questions you may have! It's a must.. take a look at Airborne Fit! I'm a proud friend and a proud member!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Airborne Fit Circuits Since June. I absolutely love how the classes challenge me in different way from my running, and Luke is always changing it up from week to week which keeps it challenging and interesting. As an Elite distance runner for over 10 years, Its great to do something that challenges my body and cardiovascular system in a different way. Shortly after joining Luke's circuit group, he informed me of his Personal Training, and he believed he could help me get 'fitter' 'faster' and 'stronger' in the build up to my target Autumn marathon. Having made a return to marathon running in April after a 5 year break to have my two boys, things had gone reasonably well, but I knew the strength and conditioning was missing, but I did not know where to start with it. Luke as a PT has been totally brilliant. He listened to what I wanted to achieve from the PT sessions, and has absolutely 100% nailed it. He knows how to tailor the sessions to suit my running workload or pre/post race. I can not beleive the change in my body, that I can feel and see! I am so much stronger than I have ever been. This was proven recently when I ran a 5k personal best, this was totally down to the sessions I have been doing with Luke. I was blown away by how strong and fast I felt. S&C is essential for runners, not only to get stronger and faster, but to injury proof your body, Luke has totally nailed this. I absolutely love my PT sessions with Luke. From the very first session I felt totally at ease and relaxed with him. He totally gets me and knows what I am capable of, more than I know myself. I know he is going to challenge me and I totally trust him to do the right thing. He has a unique approach and always makes you beleive you can do another set, and pushes you to your limit safely. He is such a motivating and inspiring individual. Meeting Luke and getting involved with Airborne Fit has been one of the best things I have ever done, Luke, his team, and all the members are brilliant. Its added another layer to my running training and I can not wait to see how it continues to help me improve. I have even grown to LOVE burpees! :-) Luke and the Airborne Fit Team will get you results - Fact! Fitter Faster Stronger! Thank you ABF!

Laura Aspinall 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started Airborne Fit nearly 3 years ago and it's been the most amazing, fun, inspiring, challenging and rewarding 3 years. I have always loved the classes as they are social, fun and always push me to work hard. The new state of the art gym is now an added bonus in my weekly fitness schedule. The equipment, the staff and the friendly atmosphere is what I love most about it. Luke has been amazing helping me with my fitness journey and to achieve my goals. He is always striving to be different and adding new things to mix it up. He has helped me become fitter,faster, stronger, believed in me, pushed me to achieve my potential and always makes my personal training sessions fun! I have completed many team challenges with Airborne, including the national 3 peaks, an amazing experience I will never forget. Airborne Fit is really sociable and I've made some amazing friends. Everyone works hard, inspires and supports each other. It's called the Airborne family for a reason. Bring on more Airborne Fit fun!
