Fantastic experience: My fave gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with amazing members and PTs. Always a great atmosphere. Classes always different and fun. Always supportive and ready to support you with your own personal goals. My adult special needs son, loves the gym, its is safe place, his place he wants to be, with his best mate Tom and favourite PT, Lorraine with the orange hair. All the PTs are always on hand to have a banter or support him if needed. Myself, ive made some amazing friends and achieved so much from this gym, 10ks, hyrox comps, and have plenty to come this year and at 60, age is definitely not a barrier at theis gym. Love it X

Fantastic experience: Top gym, top community.

Negative experience: I just had an incredibly terrible experience at this gym. I booked a 5-minute slot, 2:50-2:55, for the body scanner. I showed up a bit early and the guy working at the front desk let me into the room with the body scanner. He entered my height into the machine, then told me to strip down to my underwear and follow the instructions on the screen. He did not explain anything to me about how the body scanner works, what to expect, or how long it should take. I could only assume, given the length of the time slot, that it should take 5 minutes. So I strip down and follow the instructions on the screen and it began scanning at around 2:40. I'm waiting... and waiting... eventually after 20 minutes or so the guy knocks on the door to check on me. I told him that it's still scanning, he said ok, and walked away. Because you have to hold on to the machine, I couldn't look at my phone to check the time, and there's no way to leave the room to ask for help without stopping the scan. So after what felt like around 45 minutes I started calling out for help, but no one could hear me. I ultimately let go of the machine, even though it was still scanning, because I felt like I was going to pass out from standing still for so long. The scan therefore stopped and I checked my phone - it had been over an hour. The time was 3:45. It's humiliating that I stood there for that long, in my underwear no less, but I had no idea what to expect or how long it should've taken. As I'm leaving the room, the guy who let me in comes in and says "I thought you snuck out". What? Why would you assume that? Why would you assume I'm anything but a customer willing to pay £12 to your gym for a body scan? But my real question is this: knowing that the scan should only take 5 minutes, why did you not enter the room when you first checked on me to check that the machine was working properly? Why did you leave me in the room for OVER AN HOUR? I'm sure the gym is fine, and I'm sure the other people who work at the gym are fine as well, but that guy has absolutely no business working in customer service. Super disappointing experience all around.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! Always happy to help with any need!

Fantastic experience: Great place for everyone great friendly environment. Great that you can be a mum and train too in quiet times in the day . Ladies only classes and stuido for step and stuido for spin .

Fantastic experience: I'd definitely recommend this gym as it has best group classes by far. Second thing is that they offer nutritious meals at super affordable prices which are really tasty. Overall I loved the community and the energy in the atmosphere here.

Fantastic experience: It's a gym

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Stoke on Trent. I have been going to True Grit Training now for 5 years. Amazing classes, gym area, and overall facilities. Friendly & approachable staff.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, all staff are super friendly and motivating the atmosphere great, good variety of class too ️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: In my honest opinion it’s a great place to train. Nice friendly atmosphere and there’s always someone on hand to ask advice. The classes are excellent and you always leave feeling great and looking forward to the next session.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a nice, community atmosphere. Tried several gyms in the area and this is the best by far.

Fantastic experience: The most amazing gym, the staff and fellow members are absolutely wonderful !! love u lot !

Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal gym , great trainers great atmosphere, the classes are brilliant and the gyms got everything you need . Can’t recommend this place enough having been a few over the years !

Fantastic experience: This gym is like a family!! I have been a member since pretty much the beginning and I would never go anywhere else. The staff are always so welcoming and offer help and support when needed, the classes are fantastic and after doing bootcamps here the support I received went above and beyond Anything I could have ever imagined. Thanks Tom and the team for such a great gym and home from home environment!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at other gyms and always ended up cancelling my membership after a month or not bothering going at all. THEN I was introduced to True Grit, I can honestly say hand on heart I’ve never loved being part of a gym as much as I do here! It’s not just a gym you become part of a family. The support is second to none, all the staff and trainers are absolutely amazing, all there to help you smash your goals and be the best you can be. Since January I’ve lost 2 stone and lost many many inches completely changing my body and although I put in the hard work myself, having the support from these guys made my journey so much easier! I can’t thank them enough. I’m proof that when you think you “can’t” or “it won’t work” it absolutely can!!

Fantastic experience: Something for everyone! Excellent gym

Fantastic experience: Can whole heartedly say I would never train anywhere else. Generally love it not only for the physical benefits but the mental health benefits. It’s not just full of equipment and classes - it’s full of members and trainers that push you and encourage you and give you the support needed to achieve your goals. Everyone is welcoming and so supportive that it’s now part of my life in every aspect and not just a gym but my second home.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area with the best atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Can’t really praise the True Grit team enough, from the literal hand holding in my first class six years ago when I was terrified of box jumping, to the ongoing support and (not so gentle) pushes to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. There seems to be continuous plan for development and constant member involvement and requests for feedback, so we really feel like it’s our gym.

Fantastic experience: The community vibe is amazing and everyone is made to feel welcome, facilities cater for all regardless of ability or style of training TG have you covered, staff are all absolute babes which is what sets it apart from everywhere else - without a shadow of doubt the best gym In stoke on trent

Fantastic experience: TRUE GRIT TRAINING The number one gym in the area! - The sense of community you get here, and feeling at home and comfortable at this place is just amazing! I moved house and tried gyms closer to home and nothing came close, I would rather drive a little further out of my way and feel invested in as a person. I feel I really can reach my goals, the trainers here are second to none, all of them! I especially enjoy the triple whammy Mega Circuit on a Tuesday with Joe Pattinson, Lorraine Smith Jepson and Amy Davies! I Love My Gym! LOVE TGT

Fantastic experience: Been a member of this fine establishment for 18 months and I couldn't be more proud to be a part of it. The owner is fab, the members of staff are fantastic, they are always adding new classes and continuously getting feedback off members. Always there to give a helping hand to new and on-going members. Even the members are amazing and are so welcoming and friendly. If you're considering a new gym or just want to get started, this is definitely one worth investing in. Go get 'em!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym, Tom has created an unbelievable atmosphere in the gym along with his team! The environment here is amazing, the team are really supportive and help push you to achieve your goals. There are so many different opportunities to explore in this gym, workouts, many different classes for all abilities, fun challenges and bootcamps! But most importantly a supportive network in the team and the members, this gym makes you feel comfortable and supports you to have the ability to achieve what you want to achieve. This gym is addictive and keeps you coming back for more! I have being really focused since January and I have lost in total 7.2kg in weight and 9.6% body fat, I’m feel stronger and fitter and this is thanks to TGT motivating me and keeping me focused! Thanks to TGT I am feeling more confident in the gym and feel like I can definitely get the results if I work hard to achieve them!

Fantastic experience: What a great gym, really friendly and helpful staff. The classes are really good too.

Fantastic experience: Lovely friendly gym for all abilities. I have trained at numerous corporate gyms and smaller private gyms and True Grit beats them all!

Fantastic experience: Welcoming from the moment you walk in to the moment you stagger out. Variety of classes to suit all abilities and fitness levels. 1st class equipment throughout. New to a gym….forget your worries and join a gym that feels like home. Need a place to grow your fitness passion……this is the place for you

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes and great equipment but more importantly a great group of people who run it; welcoming trainers and members that are all very supportive. Best gym I've attended by far

Fantastic experience: THE best gym I’ve ever been to!! Tom and the gang are extremely helpful and always welcoming. There is a wide range of classes available, suitable for everyone. I have never once felt uncomfortable there as all the members and staff are so friendly. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Not your average gym! True Grit Training is for absolutely everyone. A place where people grow together and become the best version of themselves ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been to. The environment is so nice and friendly and it makes me feel so comfortable. Tom and Amy, the staff and everyone who go there are always willing to help you and are so polite. The gym it self is so big and lovely and it’s not like any other gym in stoke that I’ve been to. I love how much space and variety there is in the gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Everyone is so friendly and the classes are great! Lots of variety of classes and equipment. Trainers are welcoming and helpful. Everyone's there to help and offer advice if needed. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city by far!!! It’s the only gym I know where you feel wholesomely welcome when training. I used to train at low price gyms like pure and excercise4less that only care about your money and I’ve also trained at bodybuilding gyms like strength asylum and old skool jims where you feel out of place. Tom and his team at True Grit Training make every member feel welcome and go above and beyond in everything they do for their customers. Whether it’s classes you want to do, lose weight, build muscle, get fitter True Grit has it all covered and in my opinion is the only place to go.

Fantastic experience: The best gym, I’ve been going for 2 years now and I’ve grown in confidence because of all the staff, especially Amy, and all of the members. I’ve made friends in the gym because of how comfortable the environment is. The equipment is great and I can always ask someone if I’m unsure on something, everyone is so approachable. I’m so glad I started this gym and I’d recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great gym environment, if you want help with anything you can ask anybody and they will help no judgement. The classes and gym are the best I've been too. They have everything you need to get a good session in and it's not all crammed in like other gyms.

Fantastic experience: This place is not just a gym it's a community. Members always helping each other out, great facilities and equipment. The personal trainers work on client improvements and encouragement rather than commissions for corperate gain, and people actually re-rack their weights. By far the best independant gym in Staffordshire.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever had the pleasure to be a member of ! Very friendly and welcoming environment where everyone supports each other’s progress.

I've been there between 5-7 and not had to queue for a bench or machine!

Fantastic experience: I cancelled my pervious gym after doing a 8 week transformation program which was the right kick started I needed. Now I’m a member and love the gym. The staff are welcoming and very helpful if you need advice on performing certain moves. Definitely recommend this gym to everyone.
