Fantastic experience: A Journey of Transformation and Community at Isfitness! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re on the quest for a gym that goes beyond just equipment and workouts, look no further than Isfitness! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt an immediate sense of belonging that I hadn't experienced at other gyms. My journey to finding the best version of myself has been significantly shaped by the incredible support and knowledge provided here. The atmosphere is unlike anything I've encountered—it's a perfect blend of motivation, encouragement, and genuine care. Saz, Hannah, and Jen are not just coaches; they are personal cheerleaders who know how to push me when I need that extra nudge, often understanding my limits better than I do myself. Their ability to spark confidence in their members is truly remarkable! What I absolutely cherish about Isfitness is the sense of community we share. Regardless of your fitness level, you’ll find a supportive family among the coaches and members. There’s a refreshing vibe of inclusivity—a place where no one ever feels judged. Whether you're a long-time fitness enthusiast or just starting out, everyone is welcomed with open arms, and you're encouraged to thrive at your own pace. If you're looking for a fitness journey that encompasses personal growth and a close-knit family vibe, Isfitness is the place to be. I'm beyond grateful for the progress I've made here—not only physically but emotionally too. Thank you, Isfitness family, for making every workout feel like a step towards my goal and for turning what often feels like a daunting journey into so much fun! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Amazing Facilities & Coaches. They work you hard in the classes but keep it fun, for all ages and abilities. Such a great community spirit!

Molly Sykes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joining IS Fitness was the best decision for me. I've previously been really nervous to join a gym as I haven't known what to do when I get there. ISFitness is such a friendly welcoming gym, I feel so comfortable going to classes by myself. Sarah and the team are great, and the classes are all so different so keep it exciting! Highly recommend!

Sinead Fox 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a health scare last year which left me really nervous to go back to exercise and a gym environment. Saz and everyone at ISFitness has made it so much easier than I had imagined it would be. I feel safe and looked after. Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other and Saz is really great at motivating and getting the classes going. I feel like I’ve finally got the ‘gym bug’ something I (and probably most people that know me) would not expect of me!

Emma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve not lived in Macclesfield long so was a bit nervous to join group classes as I didn’t know anyone, but the first time I went I was immediately put to ease as everyone is so friendly. I’ve really enjoyed Lift, Strength and Box & Burn and even though they challenge me sometimes I always feel amazing afterwards. I’ve loved the social aspect too, seeing the same faces at the classes and being part of such a positive and friendly gym environment makes me want to stick at it! Would definitely recommend.

Lexy Powell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym I’ve been too. A very friendly atmosphere and classes for all! I always find starting a new gym daunting. But after visiting once I immediately signed up. Would highly recommend

Holly Latham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: ISFitness is a fab place to train, there’s always a jam packed schedule of classes which are great to keep you motivated and accountable each week. I also use the gym to train by myself a couple of times per week which is perfect for me - everyone is always so friendly and checks in on you and how your training is going! I’m so happy I made the change to join ISFitness, it’s made me enjoy my workouts and fitness journey more than ever before! X

Liam Geale 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym close to home and came across isfitness. I was abit nervous going in for my first class which was box and burn but everyone was really friendly. I joined back in July 2023 and do 3 classes a week it's not like being in the gym it's like exercising with family and friends. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. The owners saz is friendly and very helpful

max mousley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolute favourite Gym that i’ve been to. Both the staff and other members are very friendly, helpful, and support you in pushing yourself towards your goals. The environment is like no where else I have trained. I always miss it when having to train elsewhere!! Cannot recommend enough to both those beginning and continuing their fitness journey.

Shreya Sharma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: ISFitness has been a wonderful experience for me. I never thought I would like to go to the gym but ISFitness changed my mind from day one itself. I look forward to my gym classes. There are different classes each day & I like how there is something different every other week. Coaches and members of the gym out there are very welcoming and helpful. I think anyone would like ISFitness if they are looking for an enthusiastic and fun fitness journey. Sarah is an amazing trainer. She is genuinely caring and helps you reach your goal. ISFitness is a great place to start your journey.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Made to feel welcome from day one and the staff couldn't be more helpful and supportive.

Kathryn Rushton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place!Very relaxed & welcoming atmosphere.Staff are very caring & professional & show a great interest in helping you develop your fitness,with no unrealistic expectations. It's not a huge gym(which suits me down to the ground) so, it's not overwhelming. It is very clean,the equipment is in excellent condition & the other patrons I have met have all been friendly & welcoming. There is parking on site,tea & coffee facilities & the staff are always on hand if you have any questions/queries.If you decide to join,you won't regret it, I'm just sad I didn't discover IS Fitness earlier. Would definitely recommend.

Sam Davenport 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm in my mid 30s (just!) and had zero gym experience until very recently when I decided to join IS in a PT capacity. Saz was really responsive on messages, getting set up was super easy and it's a lovely little gym where it's positive vibes and no feel of intimidation which was important for me as a total gym newbie! I'm really glad I chose IS. I'm only a couple of sessions in, but I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to building more confidence, technique and strength as my fitness journey progresses! ❤️

Jo Finn 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I use the online coaching and it has been amazing, each month I have a fitness and food plan which are easy to follow. I check in every week with photos and measurements so I can track my progress. Sarah is on hand to answer any queries and provides support and advice 24/7. Her encouragement and enthusiasm has helped me maintain a consistent level of weight loss whilst building up my fitness. I can honestly say that without her I would have given up by now, without sounding a little dramatic, it has quite literally changed my life for the better, I am enjoying food whilst becoming the fittest I have ever been. It's amazing! I would recommend the online coaching as it can fit in easily around work/children/busy life.

Jade Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sarah is my online coach, and she is amazing. I’ve been using her for a few years to shred weight before important events and I’ve always had incredible results. She is really supportive and the plans work around your schedules. They are tough and push you but are not unmanageable. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah as an online coach!

Nicola Harrison 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently joined ISFitness and was made to feel very welcome by everyone and the classes are fab a great mix of cardio and weights.

Tom Heaven 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I think that anyone who joins this gym will have a great opportunity to reach their goals. Especially if you are looking to start a transformation journey, you will have access to expert advice and great equipment. The atmosphere speaks for itself. With regular members who are clearly enhancing all aspects of their lives. Physically and mentally. Saz and Steve clearly have a passion to help anyone, whatever situation you are in. Perfect for newbies or gym veterans. You will have instant connection to a support network of people. Highly recommended

Rachel P 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I found this place. I was so fed up with standard gym memberships where your instructors give you the impression they’d rather be anywhere than with you, personalising your sessions that they’re just going to leave you alone with. Then there’s the classes that make you feel like you’ve walked in on someone’s private function, so cliquey. You don’t get that with IS Fitness. They really make you feel like you’re a part of the team. They don’t just talk you through the exercises, they make sure you’re doing it right so that you maximise your effort. If you’re looking for a place that is focussed on supporting your fitness journey and make it fun, IS Fitness is where you want to be.

Jola Designs 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As someone who has not been to the gym for a long time, I was anxious about my first session… Sarah and I had a chat about my goals and limitations on our first meeting then she put together a workout for my first session. Sarah made me feel at ease and the atmosphere in the gym was very chilled. I know it’s early days but I feel motivated and looking forward to feeling stronger and healthier. Sarah has such a passion for what she does and I get the impression she genuinely loves to help her members reach their goals whatever their level of fitness - highly recommend

Scott Dixon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined ISfitness over a year ago and it’s fantastic, there are different classes everyday to suit everyone’s needs. 1 2 1 personal training is A*. It’s also the cleanest gym I have ever been in. highly recommend

Samantha Hughes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is fab! Very welcoming, clean and with a variety of workouts! I wasn’t overly confident when I joined, but the coaches and other members are so friendly! I’ve been there for about 8 months and am feeling so much stronger and fitter. There’s always an option to adapt exercises if needed. I get friendly reminders to book onto classes weekly, the messages are motivating and don’t bombard, being overwhelmed with messages is something I have experienced at other gyms. Can’t recommend enough!

Yvonne Lennard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym couldn’t ask for a more supportive and helpful owners , Sarah and Steve are great. Never a dull moment. I have always struggled getting the motivation to go to the gym but being part of ISFitness I’ve not had to think twice about going . HIIT , boxing, open gym everything I need.

Vicky Shufflebotham 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: ISFitness is a small friendly gym with a warm welcoming atmosphere. I've only been working with Sarah for a couple of weeks but I can feel that it is already having a positive impact on me. She's motivating, encouraging, extremely supportive and knowledgeable. I am not the easiest person to work with as I've had/and still have alot of health issues but Sarah adapts my sessions and nutrition to suit needs. I was extremely anxious about taking the first steps to getting my health and fitness back on track but Sarah and ISFitness have made the transition very easy. I can't recommend Sarah and ISFitness enough and would encourage anyone regardless of your fitness level or health issues to access this gym and it's trainers to help you on your jourey!

shellcarter1988 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever joined- both Sarah and Steve do all they can to help you in so many ways. I’m so lucky I’ve been able to train again after having a baby and take my little man with me to my PT sessions with Sarah. If you’re looking for a friendly and supportive gym, where you can train/have PT sessions without loads of other people clogging up machines, IS is perfect.

Fantastic experience: My second review because I sent the previous before actually writing anything!! I can’t recommend IS Fitness high enough. I was struggling with my motivation to get back into the fitness swing & push myself on both general fitness/strength. Sarah & Steve have been the greatest support. My PT sessions with Sarah are just what I’ve needed to find enjoyment in working out again. Every session feels like a gain. Not always big gains, but gains are gains & it’s been terrific. The atmosphere’s perfect if you’re keen on setting yourself targets, but without wanting the pressure of competitiveness alongside others. Proud to be a member . Many thanks Sarah & Steve

Aaron Swinton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started PT sessions with Sarah 6 months ago and I have to say she is brilliant. Each session has something new to keep it interesting and focussing on technique makes a massive difference. I tend to alternate between cardio and weight sessions for variety. The gym is well equipped, very clean and COVID safe. Sarah and Steve are always on hand for fitness and nutritional advice. From simple things like keeping me accountable to advising me what foods to eat, they have helped make small and important changes for a sustainable healthy future. I have also just started classes in the evenings and I can highly recommend them too!

Fantastic experience: Every week is different and well planned! The zoom group coaching sessions are so good when you can can't make the classes in person! I love coming every week

Michelle Foulkes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first week at isfitness I felt very nervous about joining to be honest but I have really enjoyed it even though I couldn't walk last week after my first session. Just done box and burn tonight and loved it thanks for all your love and support.

Phill Marples 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I returned to IS Fitness after a couple of years out due to work and family commitments. All I can say is that Sarah, Steve and some of the regulars welcomed me back as if I’d not even been away. They are keeping me motivated and encouraged on my road back to physical fitness. The gym has a fantastic atmosphere, brilliant equipment, great people and if you’re considering joining a gym I’d highly recommend IS Fitness. A great mix of classes and abilities with training provided by a couple of friendly, professional and highly motivated coaches.

R Isaac 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in, Steve and Saz have made me feel so welcome. I was extremely nervous about joining a gym but they have really helped build my confidence.

Renee Marker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: All you need and more from a gym under one roof! Well planned and structured group sessions for all abilities and ages. Sarah and Steve offer personalised plans for PT where they genuinely listen to what you want to achieve, whilst supporting and continuously encouraging my journey above and beyond just gym opening hours. Free workout plans are provided to optimise your individual session and the coaches are never to far away to offer support and advise. The gym is extremely clean, well equipped, bright and super friendly with a fantastic atmosphere. If walking into a gym makes you nervous or anxious then I highly recommend ISFITNESS as you will never feel like that in there. I absolutely love this place and enjoy going.

Alec Chappell 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very friendly gym with great trainers. Very welcoming and always willing to help. I had my own personal problems and they where Very supportive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone.

George JDB 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After slipping a disc in the early part of 2021 and doing no exercise for several months, I joined ISFitness to try and get stronger and fitter. Since then, I’ve attended regular classes and have had weekly personal training sessions and 9 months on, my strength has improved massively and I’m a lot fitter and healthier for it. Sarah and Steve are great coaches and focus on safe technique as much as the weight you’re lifting. I’ve been a member of several gyms over the years and I’ve never found one as friendly and welcoming as ISFitness. I’d recommend this gym to anyone!

Madeleine Summerfield 3 years ago

Positive experience: Steve and Saz are so lovely and the classes are varied and challenging!

Leon Cheslett 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to plenty of gyms before. But, none quite like ISFitness. Intimate, friendly and passionate environment. Everyone smiling when walking through the door with an even bigger one out (with a little bit of pain on show from the hard work the unbelievable instructors ‘Saz’ and ‘Steve’ have just put us through) . If you’re looking for a gym to add passion and fun back into exercise; trust me this is the one. Leon Cheslett

iain burnage 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined IS fitness in September, having been a member of a few gyms previously. I usually went through the same typical routine of going a lot in the early days then getting fed up of not getting the results I wanted. IS fitness in my experience has been totally different to those other gyms, the classes are brilliant and the family feel helps push you. Sarah and Steve are always about for advice and encouragement which is an added bonus. I've now started PT sessions and that also helps keep you focused on your goals. It's taking time but getting the right habits for the long term feels great, I've stopped weighing myself all the time and focusing on how I feel and there's a noticeable difference in my fitness and body shape which I'm obviously pleased with. I'd recommend anyone who wants a good gym and good people to exercise with to join the IS fitness fam.

Jenny Black 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would recommend anyone to give the services at ISFitness a try. I saw amazing results from my PT sessions with Steve and in the gym both Steve and Sarah work to create a welcoming place where people of any fitness level are enabled to achieve. The classes are varied and adaptable and the gym is well equipped.

Marcus Cotterill 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: ISFitness is a welcoming and positive environment in which to tackle your fitness goals. Sarah and Steve are invested in the fitness journey of each of the members who attend. This tied with the strong sense of community sets ISFitness aside from any gyms I have attended previously. My girlfriend and I have felt constantly supported throughout our fitness journey thus far, whether attending personal training sessions, weekly classes or independent sessions. In consideration of the membership cost, the service provided is exceptional. 5 stars!

Karen Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has been having PT sessions with Steve for the past 4 months and he has been a fantastic support both physically and mentally as my son prepares to be the best rugby player he can be. My son keeps a gym and food diary for Steve to review and provides excellent advice and encouragement for what he is achieving. Both Steve and Saz are supportive, friendly and massively encouraging and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a gym to welcome and help you achieve your fitness goals and dreams.

Prabu M 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's been 4 months since I joined ISFitness in Macclesfield. I am proud that I found a perfect place for fitness sessions. I have been with other fitness centers in Macclesfield , but I was not satisfied as they charged very high price and its again the same monotonous exercises that are repeated. After joining ISFitness I feel like a heaven and I am absolutely satisfied for the price that I pay and the varieties of group exercise they have. It's really fun and the encouragement which the trainers: Steve and Sarah give is really a boost for me when I feel exhausted during the session. "Come on..xx" , "You can..xx" are the words that I hear from the trainers and I feel like not to give up, though I am about to sink. 100% satisfied with the variety of sessions that are designed and I found a perfect stop for my physical fitness in Macclesfield. Thanks to ISFitness!!! Keep Going! Cheers!

Rebecca Agar 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love being a member of this gym. The gym is great and the people are all so lovely and welcoming. Before I came to ISFitness, I had a big gym phobia but now I would never look back. Sarah and Steve are super professional but also make you feel so at ease. Couldn’t ask for anymore from a gym!!

Elaine Nicholls 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am 68 years old and have been to many gyms before but none like ISfitness. The minute you walk through the door there is always a warm welcome, there are no posers or cliques just one happy family. If you want a personal trainer, Steve and Sarah are available but if you just want to do your own thing they are both there to help you with advice on training and nutrition. If you have any inhibitions about going to a gym, leave them at home, walk through their door and enjoy the ISfitness EXPERIENCE.

Tom Swailes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined IS Fitness in July 2021 to regain strength lost through an arm injury and for future injury prevention. After making a very thorough assessment Steve taught me (a novice) safe lifting technique over several personal coaching sessions and a few months later - the arm was fixed. To build up cardio fitness I decided to take up running after a very, very, long break; early on there were leg injury niggles but again sound advice and weights coaching from Steve at the immaculately clean, tidy and friendly place that is the IS Fitness gym and a few more months later - the legs are strong. Last weekend I did a 5K parkrun for the first time at Macclesfield and my other half says I was running like I used to over 40 years ago when I was running mountain marathons. So if you want to roll back the years join IS Fitness; their support and your effort can be a winning combination

Anne Marie Stones 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: ISfitness were recommended when I was new to the area and looking for a gym with a bit of community. The sessions I attend - circuits and x fit are varied n demanding, very motivational, with a great buzz. The trainers Sarah & Steve know how to get the most out of their clients, always paying attention to what each and every member of classes are doing, correcting and advising on improvements. Personal sessions are available and the atmosphere in the classes is great. Great way to keep fit and meet people.

Karen Burnage 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined ISfitness a year ago, during the COVID lockdown I decided to do the zoom hiit classes online which helped me get through some hard times of lockdown, Sarah and Steve are so enthusiastic and encouraging. I then followed on to do the evening classes and now on to PT sessions. I can't believe how much my body has changed and how confident I have become. The gym is such a welcoming place and the coaches are always there to push you. Great place can't recommend enough.

Nicola Harris 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried gyms before & not stuck with them, but after 6 months of classes and PT at IS Fitness I wouldn’t go anywhere else & have become a complete gym lover! The venue is fully equipped, bright, clean & has plenty of parking. The classes of HIIT, Circuits, X-Fit and Abs are varied and demanding. The members are friendly, encouraging & modest. Steve & Sarah are the most positive, motivating & strong coaches who inspire me every day! I would recommend IS Fitness to everyone. Give it a go & you too could see & feel the difference.

Elise Peel 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of ISFitness for around 5 months now and I absolutely love it! From day one both Sarah and Steve were very welcoming and make you feel part of the team, with ongoing support and encouragement. The people who attend are all a friendly bunch and there's a real sense of togetherness. Great gym, great classes, brilliant trainers...what more could you want?? Highly recommended

charlotte baxter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many gyms/classes in my life and I have to say this is beyond the best I’ve been to. Steve and Sarah are amazing. They make you smile the moment you enter the building, even if you’ve had a bad day I can guarantee you’ll feel a million dollars from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, they make me feel like I am the most important person in the room. Additionally they keep in touch with you to check your doing ok throughout the week, you can opt out of this if you choose, I find it wonderful as I needed that extra push at the start. The classes are fantastic and Sarah and Steve work together encouraging everyone to work to the best of their ability. I felt nervous when I first arrived because I’d put so much weight on over lockdown but my confidence grew the minute i walked through the door, everyone is so friendly. Oh I have had PTS with Sarah for over a month and have started to see a huge difference in the way I look. My clothes are fitting better and I’ve lost a dress size already. 2-3 classes a week and a PT and I’m on my way to reaching my goal by Christmas. Superb! Love it and will be staying for a long time to come.

Victoria Whelton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing friendly welcoming gym! Coaches are really supportive, attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is really nice too, everyone supports each-other and it feels like a team. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone, regardless of ability as the coaches ensure the workouts are suitable for all.

Rebecca Leech 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: ISFITNESS thank you for being so amazing ! After not stepping foot in a gym for many years. You made me feel so at ease, and now exercise has become part of my life. Steve & Saz go above and beyond for each individual member, what ever your personal journey is you will definitely achieve it being part of the ISFitness family. I highly recommend ISFITNESS.

Emma Topping 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending IS Fitness for over two months now and with the support from Sarah and Steve have found a new love for the gym. Sarah's 28 day shred helped me understand where I was going wrong with my progress and how changing up my diet along with daily support could make a huge difference. I moved to Macclesfield not knowing anyone so it has been great to join a gym full of fun and likeminded people and the classes are always a laugh even if they are tough. Couldn't recommend more!

Graham Hadfield 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Finding myself at ISFitness at the age of 67 came as a bit of a shock. It was Fathers Day and my gift from my daughter was an induction session with Sarah her Personal Trainer! My reaction was “…. she’s trying to put me in my grave!” My wife thought it hilarious until she realised the session was for her as well. Reluctantly a couple of weeks later we went along. The hesitation on our part was completely unnecessary and unfounded. There was a warm welcome waiting for us as there is every time we go and as there is for everyone attending. ISFitness is in a discrete location well equipped and more importantly the fitness sessions are tailored to meet our requirements reflecting our age and general level of fitness plus lack of knowledge of how to become fit. They offer a range of services from individual training, access to the gym, online or in class group training sessions. Our plan is to stick with the PT sessions as we like the 121 training. We go each week and although stretching and exhausting we are really enjoying the help and attention we receive from Sarah and Steve the owner.I strongly recommend ISFitness to anyone.

Heidi 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to join a gym that had more of a personal experience alongside supportive and professional coaches….. and I’ve found it!! I honestly can’t recommend ISFitness enough! I was made to feel very welcome the second I walked in. Steve and Sarah listened to everything that I was looking for in a gym and what I wanted to personally achieve, this was to ensure that it was the correct place for me. Most gyms just take your money and leave you to it….. not this one! The workouts are brilliant and can be adapted to individuals. Steve and Sarah really encourage you throughout and push you to achieve your best The whole place has a great ‘team’ atmosphere, you leave feeling like you have had a strong workout but also had fun whilst doing it

Fantastic experience: As a gym newbie Sarah and Steve couldn't be more helpful with support and encouragement at all times - a variety of classes and tailored PT sessions which have seen a progressive weight loss and a huge improvement to my health and fitness. Definitely a well deserved 5 star review.

Sarah is an amazing trainer, she genuinely cares and helps you achieve your goals. Furthermore, her classes are fun, diverse, engaging and well prepared. I cannot recommend this gym enough as it has had a very positive impact on me and my relationship with exercise.

Fantastic experience: Such a well-run business! The team are both extremely welcoming and run effective online and in-person sessions. I have been relying mainly on the online sessions and they've been a lifesaver! When onsite, the facilities are all modern and cleaned very regularly, with update equipment available frequently. The trainer's knowledge, patience and motivational approach makes me want to push myself in the right direction to get the best results. The perfect place and atmosphere to work on your personal goals!

Fantastic experience: I went to have a look at ISFitness after being a member of a large local gym, I went because I wanted somewhere smaller and quieter to train. Steve was really warm and welcoming when I went to have a look round and had a chat with me about my goals. Despite joining, I still put off going for a few months - partly down to being a bit shy and lockdown. I then started PT sessions with Sarah and she's done nothing but support and guide me. I love going there now, the gym itself has everything you could need, it's extremely clean and tidy and at the times I've been, I don't think I've ever seen more than one other person training so there has been no need to queue for equipment etc.. If you're putting off joining the gym, I cannot recommend ISFitness enough, I am definitely not a "stereotypical" gym goer but I've been made to feel so at home there. The support I have received so far has been amazing and I can't wait to achieve the rest of my fitness goals there.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with an even better atmosphere. Sarah and Steve are extremely welcoming and have made me feel like part of their fitness family ever since I joined. The support they give to each and every client is something I’ve never experienced at other gyms before, the genuinely care and want to help every single member reach their goals. I would recommend this gym to everyone! ☺️

Negative experience: Extremely negative experience. I recommend that others avoid membership here at all costs. I witnessed what I believe to be inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour - exhibited by the owner - during a short and unpleasant time at the gym. I challenged this behaviour and asked to leave the gym without completing my full notice period (as I felt too uncomfortable to return given the behaviours demonstrated). The owner threatened to take me to court and advised that he always wins cases. I interpreted this to be an intimidation tactic. I made a complaint in relation to the owner's behaviour but the official complaints process for the company is such that the owner read my complaint against him, disagreed and ruled against me. I contacted Citizen's Advice and they took it upon themselves to report the above to the local Trading Standards. Beware - a number of google reviews rating the gym highly are from the owner or his partner / colleague - this is dishonest and misleading as they do not identify themselves as staff. There are other excellent strength and conditioning gyms in the area with longer opening hours, lesser contracts (some have none at all) and professional coaches who treat their patrons respectfully.

Hi A MK, We were sorry to read your review and also that you feel your issue was unresolved. We do take any complaints seriously and believe we deal with them in the best way possible, in accordance with our policies and procedures. Our contract term may seem longer than other facilities, however, you are of course made fully aware of these before committing to our terms. In return for our extremely low monthly membership fee, we feel a longer commitment is justified. If members felt it was unacceptable, they would not enter into a contract. Feedback from members is that they find the fees excellent value for money for the service we provide. You are, of course, quite within your rights to voice your opinion, however, we can confirm your statement regarding the authenticity of our 5-star reviews is untrue. We have absolutely no need to mislead potential clients. They can look around our facilities and speak to our clients for themselves (something we would in fact strongly encourage them to do). In doing so, our members would be sure to vouch for the credibility of the reviews they have written. Please note; the manager’s personal review was posted over 2 years ago stating “the best fitness family in the world” and the colleague referred to above provided an honest review at the time she was a client, followed by a further review of full disclosure when becoming a member of staff. We continue to wish you well in your health and fitness journey. ISFitness

Negative experience: Be very wary before joining this gym i joined in November for some zoom classes whilst my gym was closed due to covid, i had numerous conversations with Mr Nicholls prior to me joining and not once did he tell me i was entering into a 6 month contract, i never would of done it !! my first payment was due on 1st December but i informed him that i was going to stop doing his zoom classes as my gym had re opened but i would possibly come back on board at a further date, he then changed from being Mr Nice and told me i was in a 6 month contract and needed to pay immediately i then went to seek legal advice to check if this was the case, the next day he sent me a nasty email demanding all 6 months payments upfront of £160 i told him to bear with me whilst i took legal advice, 2 days later i contacted him and told him id been informed that i was in contract so i was willing to continue with my contract for 6 months and paid my December payment that day, he then emaillled me back saying that that was no longer an option and i must pay £160 upfront and can no longer use his service even though i had already paid the £20 december payment the day before. He informed me that if i didnt pay he would take me to court for £440 £50 bonus to a staff member for me joining his gym and £200 for out of pocket expenses for PT clients he would miss out on, even though i was part of a zoom class that he runs daily for his members so I'm not sure how he would be missing out on PT clients, he then told me he has done court action on many previous clients and is very confident that he will win, I'm aware of a lady who was pregnant and wanted to leave and he took her to court also and won !!, If you look closely at your contract once you give notice to leave you have to give him 6 months notice whether you have been a member for 1 month or 2 years, My friend handed her notice in after hearing my experience and she was unaware she had to give 6 months notice even though she has been a member for a long time ,he also will not give any refunds to you for any classes he can not run due to staff absences. I have paid the £160 to him as didn't want to risk going to court and I have no access to his services. He claims he runs a family unit business, which i believe is a lie, he just ties people into contracts unknowingly and there is zero compromise with the man, please ensure you read the terms and conditions fully before you commit to join his gym, something I wish I would of done .

Fantastic experience: Steve and Sarah are interested in YOU! Whatever shape you are in, whatever size you are, they are non-judgemental, they merely want YOU to become a better version of YOU. From being a 20 Stone Couch Spud not so long ago, to the fittest, healthiest, happiest and most active 55 year old, has changed my life. It is a tiny investment, to gain exponential, indeed infinite results!!

Lucy Gollings 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I joined initially with Steve for just PT sessions, however the classes looked so much fun, I decided to upgrade. Steve and Sarah are so welcoming and supportive, they have really created a “family friendly” environment. If you are considering joining and are feeling a little self conscious, don’t be! You are in the best hands!!

Samantha Frost 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled in this instance due to the fact that I have discovered a perfect gym with two dedicated instructors who have created a happy family. Since discovering IS fitness I no longer find exercising a chore and enjoy each challenging session I attend. I was becoming a couch potato but Steve and Sarah have transformed my physical and mental well-being. I would highly recommend this fitness facility.

Steven Frost 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a find ! I deliberated for weeks over where I could join to get fit. Taking into consideration being in my late fifties with back troubles. I joined IS fitness and have never looked back. I have been a member of a couple of other gyms but never have I met two dedicated instructors who are genuinely interested in your personal journey. Thank you Steve and Sarah.

Karen Bailey 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a gym novice with some minor health issues, i wanted something effective but not too pressured. ISFitness fitted the bill perfectly. After speaking to the coaches and finding out what was on offer i attended 2 classes which i felt offered what i needed - i loved it! It was hard work but lots of fun. The coaches are professional but friendly and relaxed, keeping an eye on all participants and offering guidance and motivation where needed. I thoroughly recommend them for someone wanting to attend a gym. With any level of fitness and experience!

Fantastic experience: Last winter I was training for my first marathon and got up to 20 miles in practice, then lock down happened and my race was cancelled. I was left feeling low and needed something to keep me going. Luckily ISFitness came along and I have been loving their online zoom classes (I'm not local) as it means I can attend whilst I've got my kids, they even like to join in. Their class times either in the morning or evening mean I can go to most (I'm a shift worker) and they deliver it with professionalism, whilst being fun. I just wish they were closer as it would definitely be a gym I'd be at all the time.

Nicola Muir 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great virtual Zoom sessions with Sarah! Honestly look forward to them every morning. I'm based in London and have had many PTs who don't seem to count your reps or mix things up, but Sarah makes such an effort to make things different and fun for every class while focusing on what I need for my unique body. I've only been doing it a few weeks and have noticed changes already :) It's so motivating to know I can get this quality of training, even during these crazy times!

Fern Maguire 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined IS Fitness back in March before the first lockdown and was really nervous about joining somewhere new after trying a couple other local gyms. Steve and Sarah were so incredibly welcoming and have been a massive encouragement to me throughout my time here. Having access to group classes in the gym and also online sessions has been great. It's amazing how many calories you can burn without leaving your house! There is also a great sense of community with all of the members which makes IS Fitness stand out compared to other gyms. I would always recommend IS Fitness for anyone who wants to work hard and have a laugh with a great group of people and coaches.

Rebecca Moore 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere that Steve and Saz have created at IS Fitness is so friendly and welcome. Joining a new gym can be daunting, but the team make you feel at home. The classes are great and the trainers ensure you work hard and motivate you throughout. Equipment in the gym is great quality and the facility is clean. The classes have moved online throughout lockdown but quality of the sessions is top notch and will definitely have you working up a sweat! Would highly recommend this gym for people of all fitness levels

Jimmy Sheldon 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazingly friendly and welcoming environment, fantastic range of modern equipment in great condition, full roster of classes and top coaches never short of encouragement or knowledge. Never been much of gym goer in the past, but these guys have got me hooked. Their adaptability and flexibility through 2020 was really remarkable - created a safe and COVID secure environment with no detail overlooked. Can't fault them.

Kimberley Anderson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with equally fantastic trainers. Sarah and Steve are committed to training people to do exercises properly, making every minute in a class, the open gym or personal training session worthwhile. Expect a real community feel and a clear dedication to making exercise fun. I would recommend to both people new to a gym and those more experienced.

Fantastic experience: Forget Joe Wicks. Train with Steve Nicks and support an amazing and friendly local business. I joined ISFitness about a year ago and have lost about 15kgs. I’m now lighter and fitter than I’ve been in 20 years, and am motivated to keep improving. I have attended a few other gyms in the past but never achieved or maintained the results that I have at ISF. They really are the friendliest, most effective and best value for money that you will find. Steve, Sarah and all the members are really friendly and welcoming. It really does feel like a family with people of all ages and abilities and a friendly supportive vibe. You can work at your own pace or engage in some friendly competition but with no pressure. During lockdown Steve and Sarah moved the classes online and virtual gym sessions have definitely kept me sane while working from home. They even set up themed Saturday night quiz sessions to keep everyone connected while the gym was closed. Steve and Sarah agive the same high levels of fun, encouragement and attention on screen as you get in the regular classes.

Sam Neill 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I decided to join IS Fitness online during lockdown and it’s the best thing that I did in that time. Meeting Steve and Sarah changed the way i felt about gym classes both virtual and actually in the gym. I’m not one for going into gyms but they made me so at ease from the moment I stepped foot in the door, no cliques, no pressure just help and advise on how to work out. Their online HIIT classes are also fantastic, they work you hard but also have a laugh whilst doing it and if you do lack motivation now and again Sarah is right there to keep you going. I would highly recommend IS Fitness and have done to friends who have also now joined. Steve, Sarah keep doing what you’re doing, you are doing an amazing job !!

Sam Shaw 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and welcoming gym that always has a great atmosphere, it feels like one big family where everybody supports each other. Steve and Sarah are amazing, they are both expert trainers and everything they do is to help you achieve your goals in a way that works for you as well as always being there to support you. I love the classes, both in the gym and online.

Jack Hulme 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at half a dozen gyms in Macclesfield over the years and I can honestly say IS Fitness is by far the best. From the minute you walk in you’re made to feel welcome and a part of the IS Family. Both Steve and Sarah are amazing Personal Trainers and their support and encouragement to succeed is like no other. We all come in different shapes and sizes and any insecurities you may have making it into that first class just melts away as you’re made to feel part of the team straight away. Change is all about commitment and IS Fitness will get you this results!
