Squad Fitness: Opinions

4.8/5 (53 Opinions)
Maria 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 28-day program at the gym, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I am thrilled to be joining as a full member! At first, I had a lot of doubts—wondering if I could keep up, and worrying about embarrassing myself since I had never been to a gym before. My job is desk-based, so I knew I needed to do something for my health. Fortunately, I had the pleasure of discovering this amazing place. The warm welcome and support I received made all the difference. Special thanks to Carrie and Mandy, who were incredibly helpful throughout my journey as a beginner. They made me feel comfortable and motivated every step of the way. If you're hesitant about starting, I highly recommend giving this gym a try. It’s a fantastic place with an encouraging atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: When I first saw Squad Fitness in Facebook I tought it was not real! But when I started my session everybody is friendly and motivates you to continue and do more! The goals are clear and achievable and every week you will see the progress you've done as they don't only focus on your weight but on fat loss and muscle gain. Mandy, Carrie and Loretta are great and kind people!!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym to start from the beginning especially if not exercised for a while. Lots of support from the instructors and fellow gym members. I have never been to gym consistently so many times in a week for many a year now.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with support from day one from knowledgable personal trainers. Also a great place to meet local people over 30 who all help to motivate each other. Workout plans are always updated to mix things up and keep things fresh. Myzone is used for every class to log all your efforts and monitor your progress.

Fantastic experience: I signed up 2 weeks ago very nervous of doing any type of exercise in public, but fed up with feeling unfit. Everyone has been really supportive and not just the fabulous personal trainers. I’ve now signed up for longer because I want to keep getting stronger. The time just flies by with motivation and music! Thank you for helping my confidence.

Fantastic experience: I had to leave in February for personal reasons and have lost the energy and fitness that I had with Squad Fitness. I cannot wait to get my health, fitness and head back to where it was when training.

Steve “Hicksy” Hicks 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started the 28-day body transformation programme in early April and I'm hooked! I enjoyed it so much that I've signed up again. Personal trainers are excellent, courteous, and knowledgable, and other members make you feel at ease. It's a terrific gym, and I wholeheartedly urge that you try it out. You will not be sorry.

Tolulope Popoola 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with a great friendly team. There are different classes and also personal training available. Your progress is tracked and monitored, and you also get a recipe book which is full of healthy tasty ideas for meals. Everyone I met there was very friendly and welcoming.

Lydia ayoubi 2 years ago

Positive experience: I’m leaving a review on behalf of my mother - Angelina: The staff are extremely friendly and really supportive throughout the whole journey. They’re very motivating and give you lots of advice, you can tell they care very much. They created a lasting relationship with me and I loved the facilities and the way it’s set up. I enjoyed all the classes and felt like I was seeing a difference, I can’t wait to join again. I gave it four stars because the size is the only thing which I would probably change, I wish they had more space otherwise everything is prefect

Keeley Wray 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I like many others started on the 28 day program. Also, like many others I’ve been coming ever since. We flourish on small classes, a massive amount of support from some very dedicated PTs who genuinely care, they go way above and beyond for every member. Members are friendly, supportive and for many has forged lots of friendships both in and outside of the gym. Classes are varied with a mix of high intensity cardio and weighs. No pressure, no expectations just do your thing at your pace and have some laughs along the way!

Jacqui Czarnocki 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining Squad I hadn't stepped foot in a gym for over 25 years. I was so nervous, but had no reason to be. Absolutely brilliant PTs who are so supportive and patient. The other members are so friendly and encouraging. I have now been there for 8 months and feeling the benefits, so much fitter and healthier - and have lost over 2 stone! I could never have achieved this without my Squad team

Jo M 3 years ago

debbie howard 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the 28 day body transformation program at the beginning of July, I lost over 2kg and more importantly inches from my waist. I enjoyed it so much that I have now signed up. The personal trainers are great, friendly and very knowledgeable, other members also make you feel very welcome. It's a fantastic gym

Lee Burrows 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is great. I started a month ago having done no exercise for a few years and I'm hooked on it already. Challenging but achievable classes, really supportive staff and a great atmosphere every time. Totally recommended for people wanting to get in shape amongst like-minded people.

Tracy Jary 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loving getting back into exercising, been way too many years of avoiding it. This is purely thanks to Squad PT, Mandy is great, understanding and adapts exercises if needed and pushes us to achieve our very best ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I haven’t had classes with the other instructors as yet.

Chris Parker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Squad Fitness in September 2021 on the 28 day plan with the goal of losing weight to allow me to complete a charity wing walk. I persuaded my wife Julie to join with me as I needed her to keep me motivated and not quit after the first few sessions. I hadn’t been to a gym for over 30 years, didn’t even own a pair of sports shorts so was quite apprehensive about doing exercise in front of strangers. Mandy and the team were really supportive and encouraging around planning meals using the recipe books and explaining the point of the various exercises. Personally I find things easier to do if I understand why I am doing them and how to do them correctly. Within a few weeks Julie and I started to notice a difference in our general health, we both lost some weight and our BMI’s reduced. We started to attend more of the group classes and got to know lots of other members. Hearing their stories and how they have managed to make lifestyle changes keeps us motivated to do the same. The monthly challenges that you can join in with also keep us training as much as we can each week. 5 months in and we have each lost over 2 stone in weight, both feel much healthier, look quite different in a good way which has be noticed by friends and family have had to buy new clothes as nothing fits us anymore! We are convinced that we wouldn’t have been able to do this at a normal gym and it is because of the way Squad Fitness works and the support the trainers and other members give you that has enabled us to make these lifestyle changes and most importantly stick to them. We highly recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their physical and mental well-being and doesn’t want to feel intimidated whilst trying to make a positive change. We wish we had discovered this great group of friendly people years ago. Lockdown has allowed us to change our work life balance for the better and as the world starts returning to normal one thing’s for certain, Squad Fitness is going to remain part of our day to day lives going forward.

rakesh rajoria 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started with the 6 week program and decided to stay on. The classes are so varied and fun. Staff really push you to perform to the best of your ability. The staff are friendly and helpful as are all the other members of the gym. Great gym. Thanks Mandy

Ben Hayes 6 years ago

Negative experience: I recently left this gym, when it was under different management a 3 years ago it was brilliant, a real gym. Over the last couple of years under different management it has changed vastly becoming more of a personal training place. A majority of weights/machines are taken at peak times for use only of personal training and classes which led to not training properly. There is also mould on all the walls/windows despite re painting, due to no heating in the winter and no cooling in the summer. If you are considering to join here, I would suggest that you should look elsewhere for a better gym, unless you need personal training and fitness classes and live very local.

Mark Cornish 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started off on the 6 week programme and still going after 6 months. This is from a 40+ year old, someone who never enjoyed exercise! Great instructors who coax the best out of you. Good team atmosphere too. Would recommend you give it a try.

Fiona Parker 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started off with the 6 week challenge and 3 months later I'm still going! The team at squad fitness are all fantastic and that's what makes you want to go back, even after a long day at work! The PT sessions and classes are all expertly run and encouragement and support is given by a member of the team throughout the whole session. It's always a giggle even though it's always hard work but you feel amazing after leaving, if your legs hold out! Cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: For someone that sits in front of a computer all day, Squad Fitness have managed to take me from near heart attack victim to a good standard of fitness within 8 weeks in a fun and friendly way.

Class Freedom 7 years ago

Negative experience: After what was a initial pleasant experience similar to the review below eventually run its course , the gym was okay, being a local, quite gym, that is small in size but has everything you could need, however is showing its age, no double glazing, mold on all the walls, no aircon in the summer and no heating in the winter, i have since found better elsewhere, i also found a particular female member of staff named Mandy to be rather intrusive and forward on afew occasions, its a shame as i really liked it here.

CureenC 7 years ago

Negative experience: After what was a good experience it sadly turned bitter after a membership debacle caused manger Terry left me out of pocket. WARNING: Make sure you give more than the 4 weeks notice required to terminate membership as after dispite cancelling twice, money was still taken from my accont.
