Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym for the dedicated lifter. Great equipment and “Rocky” style atmosphere. Music is motivating if you forget your earbuds. Pre and post workout hot and cold drinks are also available. Staff and trainers are dedicated and extremely friendly and welcoming. Members are motivating and welcoming as well.

Fantastic experience: Paul was amazing. Come to this gym you will feel welcome. We are traveling for 3 months from Canada and trying to stay in shape while we are away. Paul was the ultimate host showing us around the gym and also took the time to write down the sites for our next stops in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Thank you for a great experience! z⁹gym
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic bodybuilding gym. It has mostly Cybex & hammer strength machines and lots of free-weights (dumbbells up to 75kg). Cardio machines, boxing and stretch area upstairs and gym equipment downstairs. The owners are bodybuilders and create a great gym atmosphere. You can tell it’s a passion rather than it being just a business. Each piece of equipment is meticulously selected and customised with their branding. They also update their equipment and it is always clean. I travel a lot and train at a lot of gyms and own 2 gyms in Mexico myself. This is one of my favourite gyms to train at not just as the equipment is great but the atmosphere is also. The biggest guys are always friendly and happy to chat. No egos or negative energy at all just a love of bodybuilding which the owners have curated. Fantastic gym and there is no other like it in the area. I travel from Pitlochry (1.5 hrs round trip) just to train here when I’m in the area.
Alastair thank you for your kind words. We are delighted that you enjoy the gym and hope it is worth your travel. Vicky

Fantastic experience: was looking for a gym closer to home, struggled at first, some had not enough room, some had not enough equipment, and most of all some places had no atmosphere. and then ...BOOM.. i walk into THE BODY ACADEMY.and ALL my prayers were answered. HAPPYDAYS.fantastic place, staff knew there stuff,everything you want in a gym.staff members louis and Thomas made me feel so welcome .one of my best days finding this gym.OH YES.

Fantastic experience: The owners vicky and guy are the best people in body building. The knowledge held between then will blow your mind. This is a great place to train for any person as it is welcoming as it is well equiped. Not just weights but boxing bags, caged area for mma and martial arts, diet advice and products. If that doesn't float your boat then the coffee and banter is pretty good too.
