AKR Fitness

Fantastic experience: A very friendly and caring place to be, well supported in my fitness regime

Fantastic experience: Got the 30 day trial and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the staff are brilliant and attentive to what you’re looking to get out of every session, and your overall goals. The small group OT classes are really great, lots of different excercises to go through and a really useful programme that you can follow to see what excercises you are going to be doing that day. If you’re not comfortable with an excercise for any reason, the team will work with you to find alternatives or adapt them to suit your needs. The staff were also brilliant at making you feel welcomed, calling you by name despite not having met you, knowing all the details you’ve provided from your initial introduction session etc. 10/10 they are all brilliant. The facilities are great and spotless, the range of equipment for a small gym is great, and the team definitely know how to adapt and overcome.

Fantastic experience: Completed my 30 day trial and signed up to keep my journey going with the super supportive and encouraging team at Aberdeen AKR. It might not be for everyone but for someone who has had bad gym experiences and felt like an outsider in gyms - usual ego gym types prancing about- AKR took all of that away. I feel confident, even if I'm trying a new class or exercise in a PT and I feel encouraged & supported.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff who actually listen to you

Fantastic experience: Simply the best gym in aberdeen. I've watched my mum who's in her late 60s go from being unable to side step, to enjoying her 4+ sessions a week, deadlifting over 60kg and more importantly grow in confidence and self worth. As for myself, I've always been fit and active but never stuck to a gym for very long before because it just became mundane, AKR has helped me become a stronger runner, a stronger person and for the most part - a more motivated and happy person! Havent met a person who didnt love their trial. A gym for everyone, a welcoming place for everyone and there really is nowhere else in the city quite like it

Fantastic experience: Nothing but good vibes/positivity/ energy!! I wish I found this place years ago ..

Fantastic experience: I loved the fact that I had a personal coach with me all through the sessions and the coaches were very patient, supportive and great motivators. I’m definitely staying with these great people. Gone for full membership!‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Fabulous team.Worked around my various injury issues to make me much fitter, stronger and positive.Would highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this gym highly enough. The staff were warm, welcoming, very knowledgeable and professional. The premises were spotlessly clean. The coffee was excellent. Very pleased with my programme. I felt they listened to me and took account my various needs and abilities. All the best to them.

Fantastic experience: I joined as a gym novice and found this to be a brilliant facility with great staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at AKR

Fantastic experience: This gym is spotlessly clean. Staff and other members are very welcoming. Each session is geared to your individual ability and fitness level. All personal trainers are very supportive and encouraging. Every exercise is clearly explained.

Fantastic experience: I have done fitness all my life but I have NEVER gone to a gym. I met one of the coaches in a pub!! and decided to give it a go. I was rather nervous and did not know what to expect for my first session. It is not your normal gym bunny, lycra, mirrors everywhere gym! I did not feel self conscious the coaches are marvellous and make you feel special and are so encouraging and so patient with you, as are the other members so lovely. I never thought the words "I love going to the gym" would ever come out of my mouth, but it is just such a different experience from any other gym and it is the best thing I have ever done joining AKR.

Fantastic experience: I took up the 30 day trial membership with slight doubts if I’m honest. 30 days on, totally enjoyed it and I’ve now signed up as a “ proper member “ All the PT’s are very helpful and give you expert advice on “ what to do “

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train. Recommend to anyone, especially beginners and females.

Fantastic experience: A great place place to be part of and offers excellent support.

Fantastic experience: Just completed my 30 day trial at the fantastic gym that is AKR Fitness. From the moment I joined I wàs made to feel welcome and received the perfect level of support and encouragement throughout my fitness journey and actually achieved visible results. (No mean feat!) If ever there was a gym that I would recommend to others it would be AKR Fitness. A big thankyou to Mike, Lynsey and the coaching team.

Positive experience: Went along to AKR on a 30 day trial and enjoyed every session I attended. Working out was actually FUN! The whole team are great and definitely know their stuff. Unfortunately, the month past by too quickly and although I achieved really good results and wanted so much to continue, I couldn't........purely from a cost point of view. (the only reason I've rated 4 stars instead of 5). Everything was perfect apart from the fact that the membership was just not affordable for me, no matter how much I wanted it to be.

Fantastic experience: A great gym ran by even better people!! Joined at the beginning of January and one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Positive experience: As a complete beginner to exercising with weights, the 30-day trial was a great introduction. All coaches were very supportive and I didn't at any time feel I had to "keep up" with anybody. The small group training sessions really worked well for me and I enjoyed the twice weekly early morning Zoom sessions - great way to kick start your day!

Fantastic experience: nice place!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team. Friendly and knowledgeable. Take time to get to know you and learn your goals. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This gym is genuinely the most encouraging, supportive and fun gym I’ve ever been to. They are amazing. If you’re considering a joining a gym, even if you’ve never set foot in one before, THIS IS the gym to pick!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym!! Been coming here for a few months now. After putting off joining somewhere for ages due to a little bit off fear etc I was made totally at ease with all the coaches at AKR.super friendly environment to train! All the coaches at akr within my time of being there always take the time to ask and discuss your pesific goals. Barry.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic set up and friendly team. Don’t be intimidated by going . Everyone on the team will welcome you and settle you in each and every time. A very knowledgable bunch and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Joining AKR Fitness is one of the best decisions that I have made. Not only has my fitness improved but also my mental health and my relationship with exercise and nutrition. Everyone at AKR is welcoming and friendly and makes you feel like part of the family. I would encourage anyone who is undecided about whether to join, to sign up for the 30 day trail. I did and I haven’t looked back!

Fantastic experience: Such a a welcoming and friendly environment. The coaches go above and beyond to make sure everybody is comfortable and enjoying themselves!

Fantastic experience: Easily accessible gym with knowledgable and engaging coaches in a fun and friendly atmosphere. I always leave feeling energised. Highly recommend to kick start your fitness journey or keep your routine workouts varied and scalable.

Fantastic experience: A great place to help you become a better version of yourself. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a nice atmosphere. Workouts tailored to the individual with emphasis on self improvement over time. Highly recommended by my wife and myself. 5* easy.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities with friendly, welcoming staff and members. I'm just sorry my time here was so short.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional facility. Highly experienced staff that make you feel comfortable instantly. Great attention to detail. For anyone looking to seriously improve their fitness, diet or physique this place is definitely worth considering. You can achieve more with these guys in one hour than you would on your own in any other gym. 30 day free trial on offer which is perfect to allow you to see exactly what you’re getting for your money!!

Positive experience: Fantastic gym if you are looking for that community feel to support and challenge you to achieve your goals, great equipment and fantastic staff, with a great variety of classes group PT

Fantastic experience: It's a fantastic place to go and train. Brilliant trainer's that are great at breaking down the exercises that you will be doing but also a great laugh. AKR has a great vibe for anyone that is looking to get a good work out and good chat and not feel uncomfortable about what ever level you enter at.

Fantastic experience: Can't tell you how much i enjoy AKR, so glad i tried the months trial and have just received my 100 days key ring. I never normally last longer than a few weeks. Trainers and gymn buddies are fab, i can't thank you all enough. I have never felt so welcome and comfotable in a gymn . So glad i took that huge step and not looked back.

Fantastic experience: Really love AKR fitness. The staff are all really friendly whilst being expert professional trainers , encouraging the best out of me and the other members at every session.. There is also a really friendly atmosphere among the members. I feel happier in and with myself after a relatively short time with AKR fitness

Fantastic experience: As others have pointed out, this is so much more than just a gym. I've attended gyms in several other countries but AKR is by far the best in all aspects. Exceptional level of care, bespoke training based on ability, mood, and/or energy level, fun and professional trainers, welcoming and inclusive environment and so much more. It's the best investment in myself. The way I feel about it can be summarised in a sentence: once I'm done with a training session, I can't wait to go back! Can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic bunch of coaches who make training enjoyable. Just do it ☺️

Fantastic experience: 2021 was a really tough year for me personally but finding AKR has changed my outlook on life, Best decision Ive ever made joining the great community of members, Fantastic coaches who are super understanding very helpful and patient! Great structure to the sessions too.

Fantastic experience: Totally worth it. If you hate gyms and working out but know you've got to do it, this is the place for you. The trainers are great and the atmosphere is so supportive. You will feel the benefit very quickly

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Fantastic experience: Great gym , brilliant team of trainers First gym that I have actually enjoyed going to Cannot recommend enough

Fantastic experience: So much more than just a gym. You are treated like a VIP from the second you walk in the door. Training is tailor-made to your ability, always with a professional coach in a super friendly, non-intimidating environment. AKR help to improve your lifestyle habits, and build a better mindset about fitness - it's not just about losing weight or upping the Kgs on your deadlifts. There is a strong sense of community in the gym, and social events for members. It's impossible to not make friends!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and people

Fantastic experience: Literally my favourite place to be. So much more than just a gym. Its a proper community and has the biggest family feel. The trainers are always there to listen and support you along your journey both physically, mentally and emotionally. The way they have adapted during COVID also has been amazing. Never letting their team/members down and always making us smile no matter how we arrive feeling!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of AKR for about a year. I had been recommended it by a work colleague and after my first visit to the gym, I knew it wad going to be very different to all other gyms in the city. Then COVID-19 hit in March and the gym had to close. This did not stop the coaches from supporting us-they took the gym online effectively overnight. It was incredible, and really felt like you were part of a strong community of people. Since being back to the gym, the care and attention to detail to ensure that everyone is safe whilst in the gym is second to none. The coaches tailor your workout to your needs and expectations of that day. They take the time to listen to you about your goals for your session. I couldn’t recommend AKR highly enough. There is not a better gym in Aberdeen.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful gym with professional, friendly and knowledgeable coaches who make every session challenging but fun. The kind of place/environment that you want to go to and go back to.

Fantastic experience: Tremendously encouraging people and always easy going, would highly recommend for those looking to enter fitness and for those trying to stay at the top of their game.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of AKR for 3 1/2 years now, consistently training 3 times a week and joining is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made. I’m much fitter, stronger, have more energy and self confidence. The coaches are first class, all classes/PT sessions are tailored to your abilities and also the facility and equipment are excellent. In addition, a fantastic supportive all inclusive community has been built where everyone is welcomed. Highly recommend, it’s more than a gym.

Fantastic experience: I randomly chose AKR as a first tentative step in trying to get in shape as motivation and commitment were huge hurdles for me. That’s completely changed now. The positive, welcoming atmosphere the minute you enter distinguishes AKR from previous gyms and health clubs I’ve experienced. The experience at AKR is individualised - you’re far from just a number. The whole team behind AKR are extremely supportive, whilst the sociable vibe amongst members ensures I actually want to show up daily and really miss it if I can’t. This endorsement may seem OTT but if you take a trial you’ll understand. Thanks AKR

Fantastic experience: I cant recommend AKR Fitness highly enough. I have been a member for over a year now and enjoy both the small group personal training and the fitness classes. Mike, Lynsey and the Team are very friendly and offer support and encouragement as do the other gym members. My confidence has grown and I have learnt how to lift weights properly and safely. It is totally different from the big mainstream gyms where I felt too intimidated to use the free weight section. To anyone considering joining I would say go for it and take out a trial, it will be the best decision you make

Fantastic experience: I only moved to Aberdeen in June. I tried another gym before coming to AKR and needed more. Saw an advert on Facebook for AKR which looked good, looked like the exact kind of place I was looking for.........afew months on and I’m still here. I look forward to going to the gym now! this is a place where you matter, and where everyone cares (sounds cheesy right? it’s true though!). All the staff care about how you are, how you’re doing - and the members are exactly the same.......it’s a true #fitfam at AKR. I am by no means the quickest, the strongest, the fittest or the smallest at AKR however I am on a level playing field with every single person there, there’s no embarrassment, no shame, no getting shouted at, you don’t get singled out! Not only am I achieving something new or something better with each session but it’s helping me focus on other aspects of my life. We’re all human and have good days as well as not so good days - AKR get it! Give it a try, you might surprise yourself.......like I am every time I go through the door

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place so much more than a gym ! Great support from Mike ,Lynsey and the rest of the team , through induction and tailor made personal fitness plans !

Fantastic experience: AKR is an amazing place and I urge everyone to try it. The staff are second to none and the encouragement and motivation they give you really makes you feel like you can achieve anything. So delighted to be a part of AKR and I recommend it to everyone of all ages and fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of most gyms in Aberdeen over the years and cant believe I hadn't been to AKR before now. The trainers are so helpful and encouraging and the atmosphere within the gym is second to none. Highly recommend and would encourage people to come and see for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Excellent so far, had my first couple of small group of sessions, and they are great

Fantastic experience: Best small group PT and group class gym in Aberdeen. Fantastic coaches, who stay current with CPD, recently upgraded facilities & excellent range of equipment available. This place has an amazing community and support system in place for members. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I never liked gyms, to me they were just a necessary evil to become fit and lose weight, a chore. Until I joined AKR! This is a place that I genuinely look forward to go to. So much more than a gym, it's a community of people who all have different goals but share the journey. Whether you want to lose weight, get stronger or improve your marathon times, AKR will support you. The coaches are incredibly professional and will tailor their support, the other members will cheer you on and share your achievements. And it's so much fun to just turn up and have a laugh while all this is happening.

Fantastic experience: AKR is a brilliant gym, from the coach's obvious care and skill, the atmosphere (and laughter), through to the layout. Mike and his team set a great standard, I have little doubt that AKR is delivering by far the best small group personal training in Aberdeen!

Fantastic experience: Fab workouts and grate training

Fantastic experience: Fantastic fitness community! Best decision I have ever made was to join, Mike and Lynsey are brilliant and I've made so many great friends. Highly recommend the place.

Fantastic experience: It does not matter what your fitness goals are Mike and the coaches at AKR Fitness will guide you on journey. The best place to train in Aberdeen
