Euan McInnes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, incredible atmosphere and brilliant staff. Can't recommend this gym enough. The team are like a family, with the members being included as well. Range of equipment is better than you'd find anywhere else.

Ryan Menzies 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great atmosphere and friendly people - it all helps keep the motivation up! Scott is awesome too and helping me get back in to shape again whilst working around my old age niggles!

Lindsay Wilson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Barry is a very professional, personable coach who cares deeply about his clients and their goals and results The gym is welcoming, unintimidating and the team and regular clients create a warm, friendly and witty community. My husband and I have very stressful, busy lives and we class this escape to our twice weekly PT sessions as therapy- as well as helping us maintain activity levels and some form of 'shape'. The latter being ruled by our habits and lifestyle and not for the lack of our coach's commitment ! The ultimate fitness retreat Barry runs- we went last year- it was truly amazing and not just for the body-beautifuls! We achieved more than we thought we ever could physically and it was so much fun. Thank you for the endorphins, for showing us new goals every session and for all the positive vibes

Danielle Allan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Barry is an enthusiastic and motivational PT who really makes you feel at ease when training. The gym itself is very welcoming and you can sense a positive atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The group PT sessions have been fantastic so far, allowing me to gain confidence and 1:1 advice, whilst in the comfort of others wishing to achieve the same goals. First time in years I come away from a fitness session buzzing for the next one. Couldn’t recommend Barry and the team enough!

Natalie Allan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with very supportive and encouraging trainers. Worked with both Barry in classes and Chris with PT. Can’t fault the support they provide to help you achieve your goals. A great community of people and a good selection of classes. Highly recommend!

Lynne Nicol 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym, Jen’s group PT and 1 to 1’s have changed me for the better. I’ve a better form whilst working out and she has given me the confidence to lift heavier than ever. The bootcamps are great fun and great cardio. Wouldn’t go anywhere else it’s just a great gym

Holly Rodger 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Used to have PT with Jen she really helped with technique and was really helpful :)

Alan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training at BSPT for a couple of years now and can highly recommend the gym. It is a superb set up with a friendly atmosphere where everyone helps and encourages one another. Bootcamps are great as they fairly help motivate you. I have been attending Jen’s group PT sessions on Wednesday nights for a while now and can highly recommend Jen. Jen is a friendly face who will help you reach your goals. Each of Jen’s PT sessions are different and push you in order to get the most out of each session. Highly recommended.

April Sykes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really friendly staff. Barry Stephens is very knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and weight loss. I've just recently started personal training sessions and down 4 kilos already.

zoe kazmierczak 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Bspt for a couple of years now and i can’t recommend it highly enough. After previously being anxious to even step foot into a gym Barry and his team have helped me with their varied classes and what they offer, improving both my mental and physical health. Barry’s Saturday bootcamp probably being the best.

Tom Allan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Top class trainers, highly recommend this community focussed gym.

Stewart Irvine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym that’s run very well by Barry. His knowledge on fitness and nutrition is second to none. Barry kindly donated a lot of his time to do pre-season training for a local kids football team and he’s also had them in the gym for a session. The boys loved it!!

Ibolya Lees 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Barry Stephen Personal Training is a fantastic place to train. Having been a member of several gyms in Aberdeen, BSPT is completely different in the best way. If you’re looking for a gym that has great equipment, knowledgeable PT’s and genuinely nice members - this is the place to go! This gym has such a community vibe. Highly recommend Jen for PT, she supported me going through some hard time in my life and I am in a better place now. She is knowledgeable and professional and motivates you to do your best all the time. Also participating in classes which are really well planned and challenging to beginners and experienced gym goers.

Alan Stewart 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having decided it was time to start getting fitter and to do some PT sessions I was recommended BSPT by a friend. Having never been to anything like this previously I was pretty apprehensive however from walking through the first time I was made to feel welcome and put at ease by the staff straightaway. I’m loving the sessions with Barry and not only is it helping with my fitness but also my mental health. As well as the gym itself I use the social media pages for meal preparation which is allowing me to eat healthier, put the right stuff into my body and with my kids activities saving times at night.

Michelle Anthony 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve attended only a few group PT sessions with Michael so far, but have had a great experience. He’s very welcoming & friendly and makes his clients feel at ease ☺️ Highly recommend Michael’s group classes to anyone looking to improve their fitness and confidence in the gym

Tracey Menzies 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been using the gym and PT training with Barry for four years. For anyone who cares about getting fitter but doesn’t know where to start, this is the place to come. Barry and the rest of the PT team are incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I always feel mentally and physically re-charged after a PT session. The gym offers a supportive atmosphere with a good variety of classes and well equipped.

Danny Craig 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Quality gym with quality trainers. Best gym in the north east! Highly recommend

Debbie Rennie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started coming to BSPT boot camps after covid and really enjoyed them. Everyone from the trainers to the members were friendly, welcoming and encouraging. I then started weekly PT sessions with Jen last November as I wanted to build my strength and fitness. Running a business and having kids I’ve always found it difficult to prioritise time for me to focus on my health and fitness. Committing to the PT sessions have been great for me physically and mentally and I notice a huge difference in my core strength and overall well-being. I managed to take part in the Superteams challenge as well which was a huge achievement for me. Thanks to Jen and all the team at BSPT for your support, motivation and encouragement. Highly recommend!

Chloe Mitchell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After using another gym purely for the classes I decided I wanted to get back into weights workouts, I saw Michael was advertising group PT sessions at BSPT so I signed myself up and I’m so glad I did. I loved the first session so much I decided to go from 1 session a week to 2. I can already feel a difference in my strength and also my confidence in the gym. Michael takes the time to go over each exercise and even though it’s a group session you feel like you are getting 1-to-1 coaching on the weight you are using, your form, etc. He also encourages you to challenge yourself to go a bit heavier or complete another rep when you might have previously given up. Every person I have come into contact with at the gym be that the PTs or the other people in my groups have been so friendly and welcoming and the gym definitely has a community spirit feel to it which is unlike any other gym I have been to. I am now excited to workout again!

Simon Cooper 1 year ago

Lewis Stephen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My name is Lewis and I love the gym. I go to the kids class which takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think it is really good for me to work on my fitness and strength as I play a lot of football. Josh is a great member of staff and helps me a lot in the gym. He also takes the kids class.

Smithy205 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am a member of the gym and I train every Thursday with Bruce. Switched from PureGym and I cannot recommend the gym enough. A very friendly, almost family like atmosphere and good range of equipment. Highly recommend!

Farah AlKandari 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. I joined the gym a few months ago and started working with Jen as a PT, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my fitness. Jen is very patient and encouraging. She takes the time to listen and accommodates to my interests and goals, while motivating me to push myself harder. Would recommend BSPT to anyone.

Fiona Stevenson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of several gyms in Aberdeen, Barry’s is completely different in the best way. The sense of community and care is driven by Barry and the team. A great example of this was during lockdown. When indoor gyms were shut, the BSPT team were providing PT’s outdoors in the snow helping others get through tough times - that’s commitment right there! Whether it’s classes or PT’s, Barry always has his clients best interests in mind - explaining technique clearly and being a great motivator. Whenever he sees a new member, he’ll always take time to check in with them and make sure they’re ok too. If you’re looking for a gym that has great kit, knowledgeable PT’s and genuinely nice members - this is the place!

Nouf Abutheraa 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to be your community and for people to work with you and help you with your goals, look no further!! I'm delighted to be part of this community in BSPT, and only sorry that I did not knew about this place before now. Jen is an incredible PT who I enjoy working with, very accommodating, listen to your need and what you want, adjust things to fit it best with you and your schedule, and fantastic at explaining things very clearly, It's like working with someone who really cares about the "quality" rather than ticking the box only.. the BootCamp is a great challenge, if you want to top up your training with something more fun and more sociable.. everyone is kind and nice! I love the flexibility class on Sundays and I look forward to these every week as it gives my muscles a very nice TLC!! Thank you BSPT team, you are incredible... !!

Hi Nouf, Thanks for this review. I’m so pleased you have had a positive experience and are enjoying the PT sessions with Jen and the Bootcamp classes. Keep up the good work and hope to see you at a class soon, Many thanks, Barry and team.

Irena Boettcher 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I switched from another gym, and it was a revelation. Everything is clean, well cared for, changing room and shower pleasantly decorated, the air is fresh and cool, you never have to wait to use a machine. Most of all, you don't join a gym, you join a community that welcomes you warmly, and everyone is there for you if you need help. The classes are incredibly tough, but great fun, and super effective, and the same goes for the personal training (thank you so much, Scott!). At my age, usually the most you can hope for is maintaining your level of fitness, but I have already seen improvement - after less than a month. This gym is incredible, and I am so glad I switched!

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in January and it is the most welcoming environment for training I have experienced. Barry and the team have created a really positive and motivating ethos. Some PT sessions from Michael have really helped me in focusing on what exercises will help me. I couldn't recommend this place more, great value!

Jenna McCosh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined BSPT two years ago and would highly recommend to people of all abilities and experience. I had no previous weight training experience and was never motivated to do core exercises before joining this gym. Jen is a fantastic PT and very encouraging - she designed a bespoke programme which has built my confidence / abilities and has helped tackle old running injuries and prepare for specific events. The range of bootcamps/classes are also great - all the trainers are highly professional and it’s a very fun and friendly atmosphere all round.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great atmosphere where everyone (staff and members) make you feel so welcome and part of the BSPT community. This gym is very clean with lots of weights/equipment and the location is good. I've been having PT with Jen for a few years now and I highly recommend her.

Claire Simpson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Barry and the entire BSPT team highly enough. A knowledgeable, experienced and welcoming team. I feel lucky to be part of the community they have created. I encourage anyone who is thinking about joining a gym, or is looking for a PT, to step over the BSPT threshold - you won’t look back!

Siobhan Newberry 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a number of different gyms in Aberdeen and have never been as consistent as when I started PT with Jen 2 years ago. Everyone is very friendly, you never feel judged and there is always a good buzz in the gym. Would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere and great people around to help motivate and train you!

Stephen Harkin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the gym for just over two years and fair to say the general atmosphere is first class. Everyone is very friendly and there is a real community spirit. There is an abundance of kit to use and the PT,s who work there are very competent and approachable. If you are looking to join a gym either as a beginner or someone who wants a change I would thoroughly recommend joining BSPT.

Craig White 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal customer service all round. Bespoke training to suit your personal needs and all trainers work in partnership to help you reach your individual/group goals. Bruce Bain in particular is world class and is extremely attentive and thoughtful combined with positive challenge and drive to help you unleash your very best. One of the values is community and it isn’t just a marketing ploy to sit aside the brand….. it really does live and breath through every member. The community culture that Barry Stephens has created encourages a family spirit, in very inclusive environment that you need to witness in person. For me, this facility has by far the best collection of all round personal trainers in its geographical location.

Stuart Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t speak highly enough about this gym and it’s staff, the equipment is top notch the staff are unbelievably helpful and polite and make everyone feel welcome, ive Always quit the gym after a few months in the past but I can honestly say the reason I’m still going regularly to the gym now for over a year and show no sign of stopping is because of how good the atmosphere in this place is, it’s by far and away the best gym in aberdeen

Craig Scott 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first time taking on a personal trainer and I'm glad to be doing it here! Chris has designed a programme for me and he's been amazing at introducing me to the gym. The rest of the team I've met are all really friendly and happy to chat. The building and gym space is always really well kept, would highly recommend.

Maria Christoforidou 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend this gym enough. After years of trying to find workouts that are enjoyable and a gym that I felt comfortable at, I stumbled upon Barry's website, decided to join the group PT sessions and I'm so happy I did! First of all, the gym is clean and has a variety of machines allowing you to get a full body workout without getting overwhelmed like you would in most commercial gyms. Secondly, Barry and the team have managed to build a community of people that are friendly, helpful and there's no criticism or showing off happening. But thirdly and most importantly, the trainers actually know what they're doing. They will always show you how to do an exercise properly, focusing on form, not just doing weights for the sake of it. I've been training with Jen and Bruce, and they're both amazing. They have supported me from the start and helped me get stronger both physically and mentally. I've seen great results so far and I can't believe that I'm actually enjoying and looking forward to going to the gym almost daily. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at BSPT 121 with my PT Michael Craig since May 2019 and since then have been really pleased with my progress. It's definitely been one of the best decisions I have made with regards to my over all health and fitness as the programs that have been made for me are so varied and the knowledge he brings to the table is great! In the past I would have given up by now and got bored but he has managed to keep me motivated and kept training fun. I couldn't ask for more from a PT BSPT as a gym is fantastic! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The gym is packed with loads of great equipment to use and always has a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the gym and my PT to anyone!

Jenny Corrigan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This has to be the best gym in Aberdeen. It is more than just a gym, it’s a community. A community where both clients and trainers support, encourage and celebrate each other’s achievements. With such a friendly and welcoming environment training is made fun and that overwhelming feeling of self doubt and vulnerability is eradicated within minutes of meeting Barry and his team. Their knowledge and expertise is second to none! The results you will achieve here will be like no other gym. It is worth every penny for improving and boosting both your physical and mental well being. I have been training with both Barry, in his group sessions which have been excellent and love his focus on everyone’s technique and form throughout the class and taking personal training with Michael. Michael is an incredibly positive and friendly trainer making you feel very comfortable and at ease when learning the technique to training with weights. His professionalism and attention to detail and endless encouragement is second to none. Your goals become Michael’s goals! He listens and understands where you want to be but he provides you with a safe, sensible and healthy approach to achieving these goals and continues to support and advise, ensuring that you never feel out your depth. The results I have seen training with Michael have exceeded all my expectations.

Lynn Clark 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started to train with my PT Jen at BSPT last year. The gym has a great variety of weights and equipment. There are plenty group classes available to chose from too if you don’t want to train on your own. Barry & his staff are very friendly and made me feel at ease when I moved from a gym I had been at for many years. Jen is a fantastic PT and keeps me really motivated to push myself. My morning PT sessions with her really set me up for the day! I would highly recommend Jen as a PT and BSPT gym. So happy I made the move!

David Mackie 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BSPT for some time now. I do group PT with Bruce and 1–2-1 with Scott. Both of them are excellent and friendly which immediately puts you at ease as does the environment within the gym on the whole. They tailor your sessions to the areas you wish to work on from cardio to building strength and muscle, I find them very knowledgable and know exactly what they are doing. I’m enjoying the results and continue to enjoy the experience of the personal training sessions and in using the gym generally. I could not recommend BSPT highly enough to anyone wanting to improve their health and fitness whatever your ability may be.

Fiona McPherson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Barry and his team highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise and person centred approach is superb! I’ve been training at BSPT for 4 years and absolutely love it! I’ve never known a gym to be so friendly, welcoming and inclusive. Barry and his team don’t just train people, they transform lives and they should all be very proud of the work that they do. I feel incredibly grateful for all the help, support and friendship I’ve had since joining BSPT. If you’ve never been or not sure what it’s like, just get in touch with the team, you’ll be glad to you did and never look back!

Fantastic experience: Joined BSPT in September 2019 & I can honestly say it’s the best decision I have made.

Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far training at BSPT with Jen and always look forward to going. I have learned so much so far and doing things I never thought I could do.

Fantastic experience: I joined Barry's gym because I was inspired by other people's journeys and what they had achieved, a place where you get results. I had tried various classes at various establishments before and didn't seem to stick with it. Since I joined this gym I have gained strength and my body is definitely changing. I never wanted to lose weight as I have a slim physique but wanted to tone and feel stronger. The classes are amazing and the trainers very knowledgeable and helpful. The nutritional plan also helped me a lot. 6 months on, abs and muscles have appeared and I feel strong! Barry, thank you and the team for helping me achieve my fitness goals! I will for sure keep up the good work and will continue to train at this gym! Des

Fantastic experience: Been training at BSPT since last June. I attend group PT once a week and a couple of classes when I can. Barry and his team are super professional and make sure each and every person in the gym is getting the best out of their workout whatever they are doing. Hands down the best gym I've ever been a member of. Its not just a gym, it's a community and I love being part of that.

Barry and the team are very passionate about ensuring each client achieves there target in the gym. I would recommend visiting the gym and meeting the team. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I've used a number of gyms over the years so feel I can give a trusted comparative review. Barry Stephens is a quality gym that is small but has all the facilities and classes required to make a difference. Good community of like minded people who work hard. Great mix of age and ability. Instructors are good, very knowledgeable and accommodating. They are all PTs not gym assistants. Classes are tough but fun. Essentially a gym built by and for people who like to train hard. Also no posers or folk on their phones taking selfies.

Fantastic experience: The gym at BSPT has a brilliant training vibe. I used the BSPT team during rehab and have stuck with them ever since. They've changed my attitude to training and educated me on the nutrition side. I would highly recommend anyone to try BSPT.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Barry Stephen Personal Training since the gym opened and I can honestly say I love it. The range of equipment and facilities are fantastic but what sets this gym apart from others is the dedication and passion of the trainers and the incredible sense of community that you feel each time you step foot through the door. The trainers are very skilled and knowledgeable and will always encourage people to achieve the best from each session whether that's in a 1:1, group or class setting. An important part of the BSPT ethos is that all abilities are catered for so, everyone can participate in exercising at a level suitable for them. The trainer's passion is infectious as fellow gym goers are also hugely supportive of each other, which is lovely to see. Barry and the rest of the team have worked hard to build an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for people to achieve their own unique goals and they have without doubt achieved that. It's truly an inspiring community to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Thought about joining this gym for years, but thought my friends who went were just fitness fanatics (sorry) and that’s why they raved about it so much! Finally joined a few months back and now I get it! Having virtually no gym experience and after going through some hard times personally, everyone at BSPT has made me feel like part of the family and given me the confidence to keep going back, even more tines a week now than I ever first intended! Really enjoying the classes and PT, everyone is so friendly, helpful and encouraging. I’m well and truly hooked and just wish I’d joined sooner! Thanks Barry and the team, and those who inspired me to join!

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to BSPT last year and have used their services for both one to one PT sessions and to get personalised training plans I can work on in my own time. The sessions are detailed, well thought out and individually tailored to both my ability and personal fitness aims. The staff are friendly, helpful, motivating and very knowledgeable without being intimidating. I would highly recommend BSPT to anyone wanting to maintain or improve their fitness.

Doug Winchester 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym with knowledgable trainers and a friendly atmosphere. I have been training with Barry for almost 10 years now and it has had a massive impact on my physical and mental well being. I recommend it highly

Carol 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Barry Stephen's since it opened. It's a great gym with some awesome equipment. I've had PT sessions which are great and are tappered to your capabilities. I also attend classes which are also great and they too can be tailored to individuals. All the trainers are very knowledgable and a great bunch of guys always willing to help. Because its a smaller gym everyone is very friendly and also willing to help newcomers so you won't be judged on what you and cant do were like a big family. I'd definately give BSPT five stars

Fantastic experience: Been going for nearly 6 years now, training with Micheal 1-1. I have improved so much since first starting with his help and managing to reach goals that I thought I never would. His motivation, knowledge, friendly & positive outlook keeps me going . The gym is a great community of people with different abilities, ages etc. It caters for all, allowing you to develop on your personal fitness journey with options of 1-2 or group training with excellent knowledgeable staff and a variety of classes. Fun, friendly, fitness, by far the best place to train in Aberdeen.

Daniel Willoughby 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to BSPT for just over 6 months and have learnt more in that time than i have any where else. The trainers are friendly and knowledeable and will always offer help and guidance. My form, technique and strength has all improved as a result. Would recommend BSPT to anyone looking for a gym where you are more than just a membership number!

Michael McDaniel 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined BSPT in September just before returning to uni and I have been training with Michael since then. It was the best thing I have ever done for my fitness. Previously, I was very inconsistent with my training and I had no real knowledge or structure to any exercise I was doing. However, that has completely changed since joining BSPT. I have massively improved my technique and I'm continuing to make progress every week under my training plan. Michael and the other trainer's excellent understanding of nutrition and training has allowed me to continually work towards my goal of increasing muscle mass. All trainers and other members are really encouraging and willing to help. I would 100% recommend.

Alexander Birnie 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Barry and his team for a number of years to date, they are extremely knowledgeable and engaging team, who encourage and support you to achieve your physical goals and aspirations. The gym itself is kitted out with the latest and most up to date pieces of equipment and you are made most welcome by Barry and his team and also by fellow members who attend. I have been training with Barry and his team for a considerable period of time and have had the privilege of training with a variety of qualified individuals who have breadth of evidence-based knowledge and experience within physical health and wellness industry. The physical goals and aspirations are person-centred to the individual concerned and are revisited on a regular basis for consistency and continuity. As well as partaking in the 121 training sessions on a weekly basis. I also enjoy partaking in group training environment with a variety of the coaches ie Bruce and Jen who not only personalise the training needs of the group to the individual's concerned but ensure that they are challenged within a safe and challenging environment. Thus improving the holistic health and wellbeing of the individual to meet the demanding challenges of daily living in the modern era.
