Function Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The gym has literally changed my life!! Love the classes and workouts.
Fantastic experience: Rate this gym 5* out 5* very kind and helpful staff
Fantastic experience: I have only just joined Function Fitness but first impressions are excellent. I have never seen myself as a typical 'gym' type of person but with the big 5 0 looming i decided to try something new. Everything has been clearly explained from the outset. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and genuinely seem care about your goals and training direction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Function Fitness to anyone who wants to try the gym for the first time or someone who wants to expand their fitness. The group sessions are fantastic and you come away will a great sense of achievement. Don't wait any longer, just do it! You won't regret it.
This is awesome to read Matthew- thank you so much! Your review means the world to us as a small business. We are so glad you decided to try something new and are proud of what you've achieved so far. Keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to go to improve your fitness and strength. With coaches who genuinely care and support you every step of the way. Every win is celebrated no matter how small you believe it is.
Thanks so much Matt! We love celebrating your wins too. All the best - Team FF!
Fantastic experience: Just completed the 6 week Elfkick course , 3 sessions a week. All the team were absolutely lovely , super supportive and encouraging and I’ve enjoyed it far more than I ever anticipated. I’ve grown stronger physically and mentally throughout and thank all the function fitness staff for their hard work and patience .
It was a total pleasure having you Lauren - you absolutely smashed it and we're proud of everything you achieved! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review :-)
Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a person who hates exercise, and I really mean that!! But the last 3 months have changed my mind whole heartedly. Harry, Charlie, Gemma, Mike, Steve and (Ceri behind the scenes) are all fantastic coaches. They make group classes so enjoyable, bloody tough! But you come away feeling really achieved. Within 2 or 3 months no matter what level of fitness/age/size/ability I guarantee you will have come so far, feel so much better in body and mind and have made some amazing buddies along the way. So proud of the atmosphere and community these guys have created. This gym is unlike any others and such an asset to our little town.
Hey Char, it makes us so happy to read this! We love having you as part of the Function Fitness family and are so proud of everything you're achieving! Keep up the awesome work and see you in class :-)
Fantastic experience: Great motivational and knowledgeable team. Great reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, everyone’s so friendly and happy to help! Really enjoying going and getting fitter.
Fantastic experience: I've been using FF for nearly 6 months and I love it! I use the instructor run classes which are great. The trainers are so helpful and always ensure you have the right technique to get the maximum out of each session and avoid injury. Each session is tailor made to different levels of fitness so anyone can join in which I love. The community feel in each session is amazing with everyone helping each other through the workouts no matter what level of fitness you're at. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Function Fitness has massively impacted my life for the better, I'm mentally and physically in the best place and have achieved so much in just the short time I’ve been here! Most friendliest, supportive Gym out there.
Fantastic experience: I don't really like doing reviews, the fact that I am writing one speaks volumes about how awesome being part of the FF family is! The group classes are fun, the coaches are excellent, I leave every session feeling like an absolute wreck (this is a good thing)! I'm often the slowest, the weakest, the least co-ordinated, but I am never made to feel that way, like many others have posted FF is a friendly encouraging place to be. I recently participated in the nutrition coaching with Gemma, over the duration of the course I gained a better relationship with my food, dropped a few kgs and became equipped to make sustainable healthy choices. Gemma's positivity and encouragement is worth signing up for the nutrition course in itself.
Fantastic experience: Love going to gym classes at Function Fitness. The trainers are so friendly and make you feel as if you are part of the FF family, no matter what your ability. I have never been particularly sporty but am so glad I took the plunge and joined in. I can also highly recommend Nutrition Coaching with Gemma. I have learnt sensible, healthy eating habits & yet I don't feel deprived of the odd treat. Gemma has shown me how to make healthy tweaks when eating out in a social setting (always a tricky one) but not to feel guilty if I have the odd blip. I have lost weight, feel more comfortable & confident in my clothes & now have the tools to continue moving forward with a healthy lifestyle. It has done wonders for my physical & mental health, so thank you Function Fitness.
Fantastic experience: I put off joining this gym for years and wish I hadn't. Finally plucked up the courage after my weight crept up and generally feeling run down. The gym has a village feel, with everyone of all sizes and ages welcoming you to the gang. No judgement, no pressure. Just friendly, genuine people who want to give you the help you need to get going. Within a month I have more energy, my mood is better, I've lost weight, and I feel so much stronger. It's been worth every penny to invest into my health, and Harry has supported me to push myself again, at a comfortable pace. It's been a great experience. Thanks :)
Thanks Alice for taking the time to write this awesome feedback! We love having you in the gym and we are excited to see you progress. Some amazing results already, well done!
Fantastic experience: Its fricken awesome! Great classes, lovely supportive and knowledgeable coaches, great atmosphere and amazing value for money. Join now! Do it.
Thanks so much Jade, we are loving having you as part of the team and can’t wait to see your progress!
Fantastic experience: I joined this gym when I was 62 years old , having never been in a gym in all my life. My reason for joining was to lose weight and strengthen my bones going into older age. I love Function Fitness , it's a friendly place , coaches are brilliant and knowledgeable, and I love the classes I go to .. I like the over 60s classes but also feel I can go to any other class where the younger ones go too. I have joined Gemma's nutrition course which is helping me get back to where I want to be.
Fantastic experience: I've been with function fitness for a year now and what a year it's been, never did i think I would look forward to going to the gym each week! Recently I signed up to Gemma's nutrition challenge for 4 weeks and it was absolutely amazing Gemma coached me throughout teaching me new food habits without feeling deprived! The results were amazing just over a stone lost in 4 weeks! Would definitely recommend the gym and the nutrition program.
Thanks for this feedback Naomi! You have such a great energy in our group classes and Gemma said you were awesome to coach, what amazing results! You should feel really proud of yourself!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly gym and very professional team of instructors
Fantastic experience: Charlie and his team at Function Fitness are the best. They pt sessions are tailored to your requirements, the classes are fun and challenging . They make every one feel welcome what ever your ability.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this awesome feedback Gavin, we are so glad to hear you are enjoying both your PT sessions and the group classes, keep up the hard work!
Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend Function Fitness and the class structure they offer. I was initially a bit apprehensive about moving away from the classic Body Pump, LBT etc type classes that I was used to but what FF offer has taken me out of my comfort zone and challenged me in new positive ways and I’m seeing improvements that I wouldn’t had I just continued with what I knew. All the coaches are really friendly, welcoming, knowledgable and cheering you on to keep moving forward in your fitness journey, wherever you are starting from and there is a great community atmosphere in the classes with everyone encouraging and supporting each other.
You have made such great progress Liz, we love having you in the group classes! Looking forward to you nailing those double unders!
Fantastic experience: Hadn’t set foot in a gym for several years and was really apprehensive about what I was facing. The team at Function Fitness are brilliant and immediately put me at ease. The Fundamentals course was ideal as it’s personal (1:1) and is designed to ensure you are safe with some of the basic moves and posture etc. It also built my confidence before joining a group training session. I throughly recommend Function Fitness. Their knowledge and experience is second to none and I really feel I’m in safe hands. I can tell already, that it’s also an amazingly supportive community. Just do it. You won’t regret it!
Hey Lynda, thanks for taking the time to write this awesome feedback We really feel like our community is supportive and encouraging so it's really good to hear that you feel the same! We are looking forward to seeing your progress over the coming months!
Fantastic experience: Love being part of the gym, would recommend PT sessions with any of the instructors, all very professional and take time to encourage and support you. You are made to feel part of the whole gym experience and welcomed by all.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Function Fitness, all of the coaches are incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgable and encouraging. With their help, I have found a new love for fitness and a consistent routine for the first time ever - I even get to the gym for 6am now!!! I have also seen massive improvements, not only in my physical but mental health too. The classes are so much fun and the community feel within the gym is amazing, everybody is cheering each other on. Massive thank you to everyone at Function Fitness
We LOVE seeing you at 6am!!! You are acing it Nat and your energy really makes a difference!
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym 2 months ago thinking I would give it a go and not like it but I was wrong because I absolutely love it! I go there times a week and every coach at function fitness are brilliant. They all take note of what you can do and want you need to improve on. They are encouraging and support in your goals that you set out for yourself and what they may suggest to you. I feel like in just two months I have come on massively. Not only are the coach’s brilliant but the fellow peers in the group are too, we all have a laugh and encourage each other. I am looking forward to spending more time at the gym and achieving more goals I have set out.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, doesn’t have the awkward feel like some other gyms, I look forward to every session.Couldn’t recommend it enough!
Thanks for your amazing feedback Nicole! We love having you in our classes and watching your progress, you are smashing it!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been on and off at the gym for the last 3 years…but never stuck at it for more than 3 months at a time. Now with this new style of training I have been able to keep motivated and the coaches have helped me stay on track. I’ve been going 2-5 times week since I joined the group classes. All the coaches are very friendly and have good communication also all feel very approachable for questions(no matter how big or small) I’ve now improved in all areas of my fitness because of this, I am very pleased with the results so far :) I would recommend and have recommended this gym to my friends.
Thanks for the awesome feedback Jake, so good to hear you are loving the group classes and great to see you making such good progress, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Very supportive and friendly training, perfect place if you have worries or don’t know where to start!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to function fitness for 5 months now and my only regret is not starting sooner! All staff are so approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. This was all totally new to me and I didn't have a clue what I was doing but was absolutely desperate to change my ways and everyone here has given me the encouragement and knowledge to do so , I love going to pt sessions with Charlie and soon starting group classes. There is always someone to talk to whether you're there or home and staff are always happy to answer my silly questions and listen to worries. Thanks to all this I am learning everyday how to keep on track and consistent with fitness and nutrition and adopt healthy habits without feeling like I'm missing out on treats :) 10/10!!
Fantastic experience: A week on holiday in the town and couldn't rate them higher. Very welcoming and patient (as a non-functional / cross fit gym goer). Incredibly easy to turn up for the odd-day if you are visiting for the summer. Everyone in the class was lovely (and equally welcoming!). Thanks!
Fantastic experience: FF group led classes are excellent. Offering fitness for all abilities and ages. Great community feel, friendly, helpful and very insightful on your fitness needs and aspirations. The coaches are first class. There are also one to one PT sessions available. I have thoroughly enjoyed every session, leant many new skills and gained a better level of fitness.
Thank you We are glad you enjoying the group sessions! It's a pleasure to have you as part of the team.
Fantastic experience: Recently moved to the area and so pleased to have found this gym. Super friendly and professional. Best quality coaching and training I have experienced. Looking forward to getting fitter and stronger

Fantastic experience: Although I am a relative newbie to FF, the welcome there was amazing. The renovations which were completed during lockdown are incredible with a new outdoor space to give more capacity. The instructors are all awesome and I love the classes, which they kept us going through COVID via Zoom. I can't thank you enough for giving me the incentive to keep fit. Thank you FF. Viv
