Body Confidence HQ: Opinions
Fantastic experience: At 45 I decided it was time to look after myself better, time crept up and so did my weight. I took the plunge and decided to join BCHQ, with trepidation I attended my first sessions. The coaching team were fantastic and helped me settle in to my training. It's taken a while but I'm gaining confidence and enjoying myself. Everyone training are supportive of each other. I particularly enjoy deadlifts which I have recently started to increase weight, only small increments but it all adds up. I would encourage anybody to join, as I said nervous at first but coaching it great, encouraging and supportive!
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend these guys enough, always your biggest cheer leaders even at 6am. Huge thanks to Laura, I was a bundle of nerves at first and wouldn’t have come this far without her encouragement. Never would I ever have thought in just 6 weeks that I’d have lost over a stone.
Negative experience: Avoid at all costs!! Not only do they charge an extortionate amount, but they also have a complete disregard for the health and safety of their members. Several of my friends have sustained serious injuries, including damaged backs and knees, due to the poor supervision and lack of proper guidance. It's clear that this place is more interested in making money than ensuring the well-being of its members. Save your money and your health – avoid this gym like the plague!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, I lost 30lbs on there Stay Ready project. The staff are super friendly and helpful, unlike other personal trainers that never took into account how heavy I was, the team found alternatives for me, adjusted exercises, and helped build my strength until I could do the full exercises. Can't recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend BCHQ enough, I have been a member for 2 years and it’s the best gym I have been to. The support you get from coaches and the members is fantastic. I never thought I would be that person getting up at 6am to train, but I love it. It has helped with my confidence and I feel so much better in myself mentally ❤️
Fantastic experience: Not only a gym but a community. I’ve been with BCHQ for a few years now, and it’s amazing!! The support you receive from not only the coaches but the other members is fantastic. Ive become stronger and fitter, lifting weights I never thought I could do.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend BCHQ enough, I joined in September on their 6 week body transformation program and my only regret is not joining sooner. The support you get from the trainers and community is unparalleled and the results really speak for themselves. In such a short space of time I have found a new love for exercising, my body shape has changed, with it my confidence and my overall fitness. If you’re thinking of joining just do it, I promise you won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend BCHQ more! I’ve been a member since 2022 and variation of the classes ensure that everything that you want to achieve is more than possible, from lifting weights, to functional fitness, to even Hyrox! The support from the coaches is great, I’ve never felt as fit or strong as I do since joining BCHQ!
Fantastic experience: Stumbled across this hidden gem through social media, & never even released it was just around the corner from where I live. Having been doing CrossFit for 4 years and not getting the end results I’d been craving for, this place has not only helped me drop over 10kg in 5 months, but also changed my mindset due to the help and expertise from the the personal trainers. The environment & other people who train are very welcoming & it’s a great vibe, which helps you to push yourself.
Fantastic experience: I joined BCHQ in summer last year and I haven't looked back since. BCHQ is now such a valued part of my life and routine. I have never been to a gym that I feel so motivated to attend and actually enjoy the sessions. There is a real community feel to the gym and the group sessions create a really positive, feel good atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Not your average gym, fabulous community with people of all abilities celebrating each other’s wins. Great coaches to help and push you that little further, wouldn’t go anywhere else .
Fantastic experience: I joined last May and I don’t regret it for a minute. My initial goal was to lose weight to tackle 50 years of body image issues…but lifting weights and doing functional exercise has given me strength and muscle tone I’ve never had before and the body confidence came with it. The ethos and community is great. I’ve never had the motivation to get out of bed to exercise before and now I’m at the gym at 7am most mornings!
Fantastic experience: Great support and great gym. BCHQ has an amazing ethos and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: There is no other gyms around like BCHQ. The support is unmatched and the results speak for themselves. I’ve tried many commercial gyms and failed to keep on it with consistency and accountability. With the support from the community of other members and the amazing coaches you can’t not make progress physically and mentally at this place! Your only regret will be not joining sooner.
Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility with the best trainers!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of BCHQ for the last few years. The gym has great camaraderie with people looking out for each other and supporting new members. I've never been a 'gym person' in the past but when I arrived I felt instantly comfortable and was helped and supported in my goals. I'd never lifted weights before, and now at 62 I can lift over my own body weight! It's a great community - give it a go!
Fantastic experience: BCHQ has a fantastic energy about it, and I found the six week programme ideal for preparing myself for athletic competition. There is a real zeal from the trainers to help you hit your goals, helping with nutrition and recovery, as well as providing ongoing support for your wellbeing inside and outside of the gym. The team atmosphere is fantastic, and there’s a real culture of friendship and community. Far outstrips standard gym memberships. All about results
Fantastic experience: Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! Liam & the team have given me the tools to be able to take control of my life & make training a priority. Not only am I healthier & happier but I’m more confident in myself throughout every aspect of my life. Thank you BCHQ
Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to, super supportive. Liam and the rest of the coaches keep you accountable and motivated to reach your goals in a super friendly and comfortable environment. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, everyone who goes are super friendly also ☺️
Fantastic experience: Love love! I joined BCHQ because I was bored of my gym routine and the lack of social interaction at a standard gym. Since joining I feel way stronger as I'm always trying new things and pushing out my comfort zone. No workout feels the same because you end up pairing up with different people which I love. Would deffo recommend to anyone wanting to get fitter and join a community, I'm even considering Hyrox lol! Also big love to all the trainers xxx
Fantastic experience: I joined BCHQ June just gone and I have not looked back. It’s not just a gym it’s a way of life- I love All the coaches and the workouts. I have never felt so strong in my life
Fantastic experience: I lost motivation to go to a normal gym and each time I'd go I would never really push myself. I joined BCHQ a few months ago and it has really changed my lifestyle for the better! I'm so much more confident, stronger and healthier. It is a great community and the members and coaches here are the best, always there for you on a personal level if needed and really want you to succeed.
Fantastic experience: Honestly BCHQ has made me rethink everything I knew about the gym and fitness. I’d tried so many gyms/PTs/online coaches over the years and just never fell in love with it, it was always a chore that I gave up after a few months. Now I look forward to the gym, love the community and the extra motivation from everybody in the classes. The coaches are like friends and keep you accountable if you’re feeling a little unmotivated to get you back in the swing of it. I’ll be here till I’m old and grey, can’t recommend it enough
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend this place more. When I first joined I was made to feel really welcome and never felt anxious about going to sessions. It really doesn’t matter who turns up, everyone is lovely and you always have a laugh. I’ve now been going regularly for 3 months and need new clothes as my old ones are too big - the BCHQ affect! A really great place to start and progress your fitness levels.
Fantastic experience: It’s been just over 3 months since joining BCHQ and honestly, it is the best move I’ve ever made. I’ve trained on and off at various gyms since the age of 20 (now 35) but never really stuck to it for long periods and never seen any real changes to my fitness levels or physique. Liams energy is unmatched when it comes to fitness and getting the most of his members pushing them both physically and mentally and building a lifestyle around fitness, self confidence and improvement. I’m now a regular at session 3/4 times a week I’ve competed in 10k races and have entered HYROX and I’m now “one of them” if I have to miss a session I hate it. Great atmosphere, amazing coaches and a real sense of a community vibe ! Everyone helps everyone no matter what level of fitness you’re at !
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this gym enough. Previously I had never put my health or fitness first and joined trying to get in shape for summer. I had never anticipated how much it would change my lifestyle and fitness for the better. I come away from every class more motivated than the time before, I have never felt in such a good shape and genuinely look forward to each class! All of the instructors and members are so motivating and lovely. So glad I joined !!
Fantastic experience: So glad I joined BCHQ! Never thought I would be someone to love and enjoy going to the gym, the atmosphere in classes is so motivating. I’ve never felt fitter and healthier!
Fantastic experience: From never working out, waking up groggy, no energy, no awareness of what I’m eating to how I am now is unbelievable! BCHQ have made me feel so welcome, I was so nervous and had no clue about gym equipment or circuits. You’re never alone at sessions and always have encouragement. I have so much more energy for me and my kids and Ive never felt or looked better! I look forward to coming daily. The results are speaking for themselves Can’t recommend BCHQ enough!!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to bchq since August 2022 and I absolutely love it. The sessions are challenging and push you beyond things that you think you aren’t capable of. The coaches are friendly and very supportive as soon as you walk through the door. You could be having the worst day and after a session you leave feeling 10x better. The biggest thing I love about BCHQ is the community and feeling part of a team. I have made so many new friends and really feel like I’m part of something incredible.
Fantastic experience: I joined BCHQ because I wanted to surround myself with people who had similar interests and goals as me. Everyone was so so welcoming & I feel like I gain a new friend or two every session I love the strength sessions but I mainly wanted to improve on my cardio and I feel like each and every week I’m becoming fitter, faster & stronger. I absolutely love BCHQ and would recommend it to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Joining BCHQ has been the best decision I’ve made. I’ve totally changed my life style, earlier mornings earlier nights. When I joined my goal was to loose 1 stone in 6 weeks, i achieved my goal in 5 weeks. Every session at bchq doesn’t get easier because you push yourself more every-time. All the members are welcoming and it is a good positive community. Joining BCHQ will be the best thing you do for yourself, certainly won’t regret it
Fantastic experience: Super supportive gym, felt nervous after not stepping foot in a gym for 10+ years but definitely didn’t need too. Positive, encouraging, everything you need
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, everyone is so supportive and encouraging! Couldn’t imagine training anywhere else and the level of support is unmatched!
Fantastic experience: It's the best decision I ever made goin to this gym.its made me feel that I have more energy and more confident in myself.i even did hyrox which I would never of thought of doing before I started.the people at this gym are so friendly and happy.we jus help each other out,its very supportive.all the coaches are brilliant they make u feel welcome any time.
Fantastic experience: BCHQ is more than just a gym, it’s a community. Liam, Kat and the team are invested in you becoming the best version of yourself you can be in all aspects of life; from fitness to your wider life goals. The result of this is a transformation that goes beyond looking better, but feeling better too. They are constantly innovating, presenting more challenges and opportunities to push yourself beyond what you thought possible. I’ve recently completed a Hyrox competition with 25 others from BCHQ at 8 months postpartum; before BCHQ I never would have had the confidence to enter. I love the combination of strength training and HIIT, the workouts are accessible to all levels fitness but push you more and more each week. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. I’d recommend to anyone looking to invest and take care of themselves for the better.
Fantastic experience: Hands down THE best gym ever! The coaches are amazing and super helpful and encouraging. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. It’s the only the gym that has made me stick at it
Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym, the people you train with are like family, the biggest cheerleaders supporting your goals in all aspects of life. Turn up once, and you will won’t look back.
Fantastic experience: I have trained in lots of gyms over the years and i have to said Body Confidence is the best by far!! The support you get is amazing, not only in the gym but in all aspects of your life. Join now you will not be disappointed!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to be part of! Expert coaching with a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Love being part of Bchq!
Fantastic experience: The best gym to go too! Gets you into incredible shape, mentally and physically. A great community without the stress of not knowing what to do in a commercial gym! Would highly recommend to anyone !
Fantastic experience: You will not feel more confident anywhere els then here, from the coaches & members giving endless support to you & celebrating every little win you have, everyone is out to help each other & no judgment from anyone which is something I have felt in previous gyms. The coaches are only a message away if you are struggling & need support. I love being apart of the BCHQ family xx
Fantastic experience: The best place around!! Joining BCHQ was the best decision I have ever made. The support, the structure, the community and the best coaches you could ask for. You get the best advice, encouragement and are certainly held accountable!! I have never been confident in a gym, I always avoided going, paying month after month and never getting any benefit. I now love working out and have achieved goals I never thought I would! Has to be something special to get me there at 6am!! Safe to say I will never be leaving this gym!!!
Fantastic experience: Unique gym. Gets results Really friendly vibe.
Fantastic experience: This place has transformed my life, if I could give it 10 stars I would! Iv been here a year now and in that time Iv lost nearly 4 stone and dropped from size 16/18 to a 10! The coach’s are out of this world and give amazing advice n anything you need from lifting to stretching to diet and mental health. Wouldn’t be without bchq in my life now
Fantastic experience: A great supportive environment, with small structured pt classes, pushing us all to achieve our max. There's a good choice of classes to choose from making it easy to fit them into your lifestyle. Good sized car park & location wise not far off M6 if you are travelling to get there.
Fantastic experience: The best gym & the best people! You won't regret signing up to BCHQ - your limits will be pushed in the best way possible and the support you recieve is unrivalled. I've never felt this mentally good in my life!
Fantastic experience: I joined in April 2022 the team and gym members where all very welcoming, very encouraging and the classes are so well planned you just need to turn up. Absolutely love being a member of this gym. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Never thought I'd say this about a gym but I'm addicted! The people, the trainers and the classes are just the BEST, and even though it's hard and knackers me out, I keep coming back for more! The results are speaking for themselves! X
Fantastic experience: A wonderful supportive environment, with small structured pt classes, pushing us all to achieve our max. These classes have become part of my weekly routine, making me a stronger, healthier person not just for myself but those around me as well.
Fantastic experience: More than just a gym!
Fantastic experience: This is the first time been a member of a gym where I have felt comfortable and look forward to going! BCHQ is friendly, challenging and welcoming and is a place that i would advise anyone to join.
Fantastic experience: At other gyms, I never felt structure, goals, support, or accountability. BCHQ is a friendly community with all those things and I genuinely enjoy going. Attending is just part of my routine and enables me to enjoy life, feeling in shape, fit and healthy. I can’t thank the coaches enough. Don’t be afraid to try it; you’ll not look back.
Fantastic experience: The most incredible 11 month journey I've ever been on, I feel physically and mentally stronger, I have more confidence in myself & I am happier with who I am. Not only is this the best gym to be it's also the best supportive family you'll ever meet ❤️ here's to the next 11 months!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym around! I travel well out of my way to get to this place. The most supportive and upbeat atmosphere - and the transformations both physically and mentally are incredible!
Fantastic experience: Best place to train in. Well equipped gym and a lot of classes. The service provided from the PT is top quality. They help you each time, they push you at your best, they advice you on nutrition and lifestyle. Smiling people attending, plenty of variety of exercises and new challenges to take. I only joined less than two months ago and I feel already part of Body Confidence HQ FAMILIA!
Fantastic experience: I only have one question, what are you waiting for? Joining BCHQ was the best decision I made, 4 months in and I'm still looking forward to the sessions, I'm more considerate about what I eat and enjoy being outside again(even in this cold). If you're looking for a gym where your pushed to be the best YOU in all aspects of your life, with a great support network and tools to support, then join the BCHQ crew
Fantastic experience: I joined BCHQ in January 2020. The UK then went into lockdown. Most gyms shut, but BCHQ got equipment out to us all and they trained us via zoom. In 3 months I already felt so much fitter - and all from doing it at home. Fast forward to end of October. We’re 4 weeks into Winter Warrior, my body has dropped at least 2 dress sizes. My confidence is at an all time time. And that’s because this is not just a gym, it’s a family of coaches and members who support you in all aspects of your life. Your career will improve, your relationships will improve and your body and mind will improve. Today I spoke in public in front of an audience without fear or nerves. I’d have been overthinking it, finding excuses not to do 6 months ago. Next comfort zone to move out of? I’m ready that’s to Liam and the rest of the BCHQ familia
Fantastic experience: The best gym and team of coaches you will ever meet. They will help you to transform your body and your mindset. An amazing team and supportive atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Started with BCHQ after several failed PT’s, starting the menopause and finding weight creeping on even though I was watching what I eat. This programme is life changing, it’s changed my mindset and helped me get fitter! I’m nearly 52 and it’s literally changed my life for the better. I need a knee replacement but due to my age it’s not on the NHS priority, which is okay. The BCHQ trainers altered my exercise to enable me to complete in with my limited knee mobility. They support and are always there when you need them. The trainers are fabulous and highly trained. I have now changed careers, as my confidence is now good and as I used to suffer with imposter syndrome and would never challenge myself. Now I walk into conferences and deliver presentations.
Fantastic experience: The BEST place you will ever find! With amazing coaches who help tranform not just your body but your mindset and the best supporting community with you every step of the way.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever joined! So glad I took the step and started the Accelerate Your Confidence Programme earlier this year. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community of like minded people, who encourage and support, The training is brilliant, each session is well structured with a maximum of six people in a class. This means that the knowledgable and experienced trainers have time to ensure your form is good as well as providing plenty of challenge and encouragement. But it’s not just the opportunity to get physically fit that this gym provides, this is what sets it aside from other gyms I’ve used. There is training and focus on mental health as well to help get balance across fitness, career and family. I’d definitely recommend joining. In 5 months my strength, cardio and flexibility have massively improved as well as providing me with the tools to help with my mental well-being.
Fantastic experience: Wow, what to say about this place. It definitely isn't your normal 'gym' the staff here genuinely care about helping you achieve your goals. Not just in the gym, but in both your personal and work life. When you sign up to BCHQ you gain a second family and a whole new set of friends. It doesn't matter if you've never stepped foot in a gym before or if you're coming from another gym, everyone is welcome to BCHQ. Just reach out to one of the team and see how they can help you, it will be the best decision you ever make. I have been here just over a year now and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to BCHQ for just under 12 months and since then I’ve noticed huge changes in both my body and mindset. I can’t recommend the place enough.
Fantastic experience: Best decision I ever made joining BCHQ, the Accelerate Your Confidence Programme not only works on your body but your whole lifestyle and mindset too. I've learned so much about myself and how to look after myself with an amazing team of coaches and an unrivalled community. Can't recommend Body Confidence HQ enough!
Fantastic experience: Still here a member 3 years later at THE MOST INCLUSIVE gym in Preston, Lancashire. Amazing program ran by all the coaches at bchq! Tailored to each and every member who is on the program. Pushed to progress at your speed and goals created but definitely not like shouting PT's! All lovely people from all different walks of life and age ranges too no judgement! Loving my progression so far!!! Excelling in life, gym and mindset!
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. If you are looking for a complete transformation of body, mind and lifestyle I can't recommend these guys enough
Fantastic experience: Can not fault this place 100% the best thing I ever did was join BC
