Fantastic experience: Jack & his team are brilliant! They’re so friendly and welcoming, that getting back into gym classes and exercise came with ease and didn’t feel daunting or like a chore. The class groups are a good size and everyone is so lovely, that I really looked forward to my morning session (despite not really being a morning kinda girl). I joined on the ‘6 week plan’ but due to my impending holiday, instead, Jack tailored the plan to ‘5 weeks’ for me, and we had regular check ins which was great, and the ‘apps’ you use for your accountability and the classes are great and easy to use. You can also link the app up with your meal tracking, or Apple Watch / exercise devices. Through the accountability app Jack has some automated messages set up that are quite useful too. The first 2 weeks we realised I hadn’t been weighing my food properly which made me feel behind on where I wanted to be, but with the support and encouragement from the guys, once I got that aspect nailed down, I felt like the progress was coming. I can’t thank Jack enough for encouraging me to join this plan (I can be rather indecisive), but the results speak for themselves, and how I feel in myself now, is incredible. For my personal goals, I still have more to do, but I can safely say that my confidence has come back, my mindset has altered, I feel energised, and for someone who struggles personally with anxiety and mental health, I can safely say that I do feel happier, and ‘lighter’ both physically and mentally. So, there really aren’t enough words to say how grateful and thankful I am to the guys. If you’re thinking about taking on this challenge, or wanting to get back into exercise, the gym, wanting to get a routine going, or if you want something to help with your own mind, give you something to focus on to help your mental health, then I say do it.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Strive to Thrive course, and I can't express how transformative the experience has been. This course helped me to learn a lot about myself and my habits both good and bad and what I need in life to help me better myself, what wastes my time and holds me back. This course it has give me the push to break free from my bad habits and introduced me to healthier practices that I never thought possible. I even had a go at a 72 hour fast which I thought was insane, I made it to 66 hours which I am very proud of myself to achieve as I do LOVE food and didn’t think I could live without it! Through a combination of physical training and mental wellness techniques, I learned so much about myself and my capabilities. Before this course I couldn’t even do a proper press up, but now I have built up my strength to have the confidence to up my weights that I was comfortable with and I can now Infact do proper press ups! The instructors and the group were incredibly supportive, guiding us every step of the way. I discovered not just how to get fitter, but also how to cultivate a positive mindset. The group were amazing, I feel like I have made some really good friendships through the course, also learning that everyone has their own problems in life and guiding each other through. The tools and strategies I gained have empowered me to maintain a healthier lifestyle and continue my journey of self-improvement. I truly feel like a new person—more energetic, focused, and resilient. I have been asked by many other ladies what I have been doing as I “look great.” I highly recommend this course and gym to anyone looking to transform their life from the inside out!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for the 6 weeks challenge that I saw on Facebook as I'd let myself go a bit. I was stuck in the cycle of eating rubbish food at the wrong times due to work and other commitments, and had gained alot of weight. I spoke with Jack and staight away I could see the passion that he has for helping people like me get back on track. I was supplied with a diet plan to which I followed prity much religiously and attended 3 x class circuits per week which were challenging but also fun at the same time. Fast forward 6 weeks I'm now feeling alot better in my own skin and nearly 10kg (1.3 stone) lighter I would highly recommend this gym to anyone that is serious about changing there lifestyle for the better

Laura Hawkeswood 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fortitude Gym since 2021, a month ago I had the shock of my life when Jack tagged me in a post to apply for a position on the ‘Fortitude Rebirth’ course across 6 weeks, I pondered on it then thought I’d give the application a try, what did I have to lose! A day later I was tagged in a post advising me I had been successful, panic then set in and a wave of ‘oh my god’ what have i done! However that all went away when i met with Jack who talked me through everything, put me at ease and answered all the questions I had and was just so reassuring! To say it has been the best move I’ve made is an understatement, I have overcome fears, pushed myself out of my comfort zones, allowed people I’d never met before to guide me in classes and I’ve absolutely loved it! I’ve overcome so much mentally and physically and pushed myself harder than I expected, the course offers support, encouragement, great advice, a great group of people, a safe space, time to evaluate and reflect and helps you understand your relationship with fitness and food, I’ve a hell of a lot to be thankful for where this course I concerned including Jack, Ben, Andy & my group, to say I’m sad the 6 weeks is over is just not going to cover it, however I am excited to see what’s next at Fortitude gym, the place that feels like home around people who are like family… if you get the chance sign up

Fantastic experience: We have had an amazing time over the past six weeks taking the six week challenge at Fortitude! The classes are fun, informative and challenging and the group and trainers are incredibly supportive. The gym is clean and quiet outside of class periods with great equipment! Feeling fortunate to have found such a positive and supportive space.

Ethan G 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing 6 week programme that provides incredible results and can be easily tailored to a busy day to day schedule. The team at Fortitude have created a friendly, local- pub feeling with their exercise classes, which are always fun and challenging, as well and encourage you to push the boundaries of your fitness levels. The team always greet you with a smile and helped me get stronger, learn better lifting form, as well as providing alternative exercises for injuries/different strength levels. In the 6 week programme I lost over 6% body fat and over 4kg. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone and will definitely be staying on with Fortitude.

B Spud 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took part in the 6 week challenge at Fortitude and it was the best thing I could have done for my fitness. I have spent a few years dipping in and out of gym memberships and never really enjoyed exercise. This challenge has given me so much confidence in my ability and the support given from all the staff has allowed me to try things I was scarred to try out. The classes are amazing for keeping you motivated and having fun whilst exercising, well worth the early mornings! I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to feel in a difference in their fitness and is ready to put in the work to get there. After my challenge I will definitely be staying on fortitude!

Fantastic experience: My time at Fortitude Gym has been the best experience I could have imagined. I have tried many times to focus on losing weight and building muscle but never succeed until I came here. I personally enjoy the sessions which are on every day at various times. The equipment provided is great and very useful to all exercises. The encouragement and positive feedback that has been given to me on a regular basis has helped me push myself more and become a new person. I am truly grateful to all the staff members and friends I have met. I am stronger, healthier and 100% happier in me. Thank you Fortitude Gym!!

Sarah Ting 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I carnt thank Jack enough for all the help and guidance over the last six weeks, when I first met Jack I was really in happy with how I looked and very self conscious after having a baby and just not eating right . I was working out but not seeing any results as my relationship with food wasn’t great. I had no understanding of what I should be eating and how much until now. And I just can not belive the difference. I feel so much better physically and mentally and I’m back in my pre baby jeans. I absolutely loved all the classes and the people at the gym are just so lovely . Thank you for all you help over the last six weeks. I couldn’t recommend enough it’s been an game changer for me Thank you.

Stephen Foley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just completed the 6 week challenge at Fortitude gym. I have been amazed by the results having lost the best part of 10kg in 6 weeks and that’s not even the best part about it! I haven’t exercised for many years and given I now have an office job I have not been very active and with 2 young children had got into some really bad habits with food. I met Jack for a chat and after some encouragement decided to give it a go. I was nervous before the first group session being in bad shape and having not used a gym for years. But after an hour I left the gym excited to come back. Jack and the other pt’s are really supportive as is everyone else that attends the groups everyone helps each other where they need the 45mins fly and you leave feeling energised and ready for the day. I started the 6 weeks really unsure if this was for me. If your reading this thinking the same give it a go! I have lost loads of fat. I’ve reset my relationship with food. Most importantly I feel a 100 x better. I have more energy and I’m spending lots more time out walking and spending time with my family. I’ve come to the end of the 6 weeks but have signed up to carry on it’s transformed how I’m feeling. Thanks everyone at fortitude gym.

Fantastic experience: Chester's hidden gem of a gym. No nonsense training gym with plenty of free weights, machines, cardio equipment, and classes every day. Jack and the team really make you feel welcome, whether you are an absolute beginner or experienced trainer. Also not full of idiots filming themselves for Instagram, which is a huge plus. Highly recommended.

David Blunden 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym. I completed the 6-week challenge and was very pleased the structure and intensity of the workouts. The classes are friendly, supportive and give alternative exercise options to suit all abilities. The classes are over within an hour, so they fit into my busy work/family life schedule. In just six weeks I manged to lose 5kg (11 pounds), decrease by body fat percentage from 21% to 13.6%, whilst putting on 1.9kg of muscle. But best of all, I feel much healthier and younger! I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about getting healthier and losing weight/gaining muscle mass.

Fantastic experience: Hi if you are looking for a gym to either help you lose weight or just get into shape. please check out Jack’s gym behind B&Q on Sealand Road, Chester. I suffer with a couple of health issues Jack and his team have been so supportive in helping me to get back into shape. You can do one on one with a personal trainer, or you can join the classes which are in a small group. But even when you join a class you will never feel out of place. Everybody at the gym, are kind and supportive.

Simon Riley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've had Jack as my personal trainer for the last 3 months and the experience has been top class. I started with absolutely zero gym knowledge and had no idea how to work anything. His PT program has been amazing and sincerely recommend anyone to give it a go. I had the initial goal just to start it and get taught proper form with exercises but it naturally turned into so much more Here is what's in store: +Proper diet and nutrition teaching +Personalised workout routines +Weekly weigh ins and checkups on progress +Advice and motivation to keep pushing +Option to take part in planned classes throughout the week +learn how to plan and structure your own routines based on your goals +PT sessions that are suited around you ( I had issues with my ankles, wrists and neck) Jack knew exactly how to cater for this in my sessions. +24H gym access +Someone who can push you and break through those mental barriers +someone you can rely on, and have a good laugh with +And so much more Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Simply changed my life for the good ! This is just not a gym ! This is a group of none judgmental ( yet super supportive !) people who want to improve thier health for the better ,over seen by the most amazing staff ,that go above and beyond ❤️ As a lady cancer survivor, struggling with post surgery mobility problems,limited range in movement, serious wieght gain and of an age where your hormones in later life are all over the place ! I can seriously put my hand on my heart and say ,it was and is worth every penny ! It's an investment in your self ! Completely life changing I was given my own easy to follow nutrition plan, tips on how to harness raging hormones, my own unique work out regime,that was modified to my personal capabilities .1 to 1 coaching and small group coaching that built your confidence and self esteem ( your not made to feel incapable in that group environment as you see others who are fit and well, shown modified exercises that would be more beneficial to them as an individual ) .It's not a gym full of flashy sports brands ,it's a place full of like minded people all trying to achieve thier individual goals and supporting one another. So invest in yourself, join Fortitude and become the best version of yourself that you can be whilst having fun and amazing support on the way !

Fantastic experience: This place is simply the best. I’ve been a member for over 3 years and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The scheduled classes are brilliant as they accommodate any and all skill levels with instructions, guidance and encouragement from Jack or any of the other trained instructors. The sense of belonging and being welcome makes it a brilliant place to train and always pushes you to progress. Personal touches like occasional check-ins are always good and keep you feeling connected and encouraged to return and do your best. The 24 hour open gym facility is also brilliant with any and all equipment you could ever need to suit all training styles. Access to supplements and a great coffee shop are an added bonus and the cold protein coffees have to be the best around. Well priced compared to competitors, it’s the best value around for the guaranteed results you will get.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for year or so. Had experiences with other larger gym chains but this gym is superb. Far better for serious training. It's massive inside, a lot of benches and bars and dumbells. For anyone serious about training and mixing with a good group of like-minded people, this is your gym.

Neil Mannix 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent atmosphere to train. High-quality equipment, spacious and multiple benches and dozens of individual dumbbells and kettlebells. Open 24/7, choose your music and get on with it. Hard to find a gym like it. The big chains are the opposite: smaller, lots of faff (people and equipment) and way more expensive.

Fantastic experience: Great gym run by great people. Always there to help. All the members are also very nice and welcome the new starters. Everybody is very supportive. This is just a big family with people from all walks of life. I personally found in Jack's Gym my happy place where I can be myself and I know many before me felt the same and many more will also do in times to come. Cannot recommend it enough. Get down to the gym, pop in and have a chat with Jack and Chelsey. Give it a try with the 6 weeks challenge and take it from there, you won't regret it! You'll be guided through the exercises and will learn buckets besides becoming the best version of yourself. But if the group sessions are not your thing, the gym offers you enough equipment to complement your training. And don't forget to grab your coffee, or shake, on your way out, you'll go back for more! If all the above mentioned was not enough, you can also find a fine barber, great masseuse and, why not, get an even tan in the sunbed! Get to Jack's Gym now and thank me later!

Paul Billington-Dykes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Chelsey and Jack (and now Ingrid) are super friendly and helpful. When I joined the gym a few years back I was over weight, very unhealthy and uneducated about fitness.

Fantastic experience: This place deserves ALL the stars! I adore it there. I’d always wished I had the confidence to lift weights without injuring myself and build strength.. this place has supported me to do so. Jack is super knowledgeable and a fantastic coach… I’m now happy with my body and have enjoyed the journey from post baby to now. Definitely give it a go… it’s the best gym!

Lucy Ingram 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is quite simply THE best! Staff are second to none. They have the patience and kindness to deal with everyone’s needs whether that be a total beginner who has no idea what any of the equipment does (used to be me!) or a total gym bug who can’t get enough! These guys and gals down at Jacks Gym have a knack of making everyone feel so welcome! Can’t rate this gym enough!

Lucie Ingram 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place! What can I say! Love everything about this gym! Jacks Gym is quite possibly the most comfortable place to train. Jack and his team really go out of their way to ensure every single person feels welcome and comfortable while training. There is such a family feel to this gym, there really is no other like it. When I first started training there years ago, I had no self confidence with my body shape, my diet was a mess and I was not happy with my weight and lifestyle. Jacks Gym totally turned that around! I have never been more body confident and confident with foods that help assist a healthy weight! No one made me feel like I was the ‘newbie’ or made me feels self conscious about how I looked or that I didn’t know how to do certain workouts. The staff at the gym are patient, kind and caring… really taking into account everyone’s personal needs. My advice to anyone wanting to start their gym routine and weight loss journey….THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT! x

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, with a genuine welcome and friendly feel to it. Infact it's more then a gym, it's a mini community. Jack is knowledgeable, supportive and offers lots of encouragement. There's a real good mix of equipment, and the classes are well run with a good variety to choose from. There's also an on-site barbers and coffee shop. The bathroom facilities are always clean and the showers hot. Five stars from me.

Fantastic experience: Just amazing. Superb sense of community. Amazing, personalised and friendly. Really tough (for me). So far from my experience of other gums. Genuinely unique for all the best reasons. You'll get fit, have fun and be with amazing people.

Positive experience: Good atmosphere, a place to train if you are serious about weights. The equipment range isn't great as it's a small gym but there are loads of squat racks and no one was curling in any of them. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I have just finished the 6 week challenge, every session has been varied and fun, everyone makes you feel so welcome whatever your level of fitness or gym experience. I am really happy with the progress I have made and cannot recommend this place enough not just for the increase in strength and fitness but also the wellbeing regular group exercise gives you. Looking forward to the new challenges set for 2020. Thank you Jack, r, Ash and Brandon.

Fantastic experience: I'm really pleased with the progress I made during my challenge at strength camp, the trainers really helped push me and provide support when needed and I feel like I'm in a much better place than I was before joining. they really help you understand how to motivate yourself and learn to keep a healthy lifestyle overall. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for help making a much needed change.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym I would recommend Strength Camp Chester to anyone. I have just completed my first 6-week challenge and achieved more in the small space of time than I have in the last 2 years of training. Losing 10 lbs, 4% body fat and gaining 2.5% muscle. All the trainers are there to help you every step of the way, in and out of the gym keeping you motivated to achieve your goals. The training sessions are hard but the encouragement from the staff and other members get you through every time, giving a unique atmosphere where you feel comfortable at all times. If you want to achieve your goals this is the place
