Curious Fitness

Fantastic experience: Paulton’s gem of a gym: hidden between a cricket field, tennis court and bowls pitch is a gym you probably didn’t know existed. Enter inside, to walls covered in 80’s nostalgia art and you know you’ve entered the rabbit hole of ‘Curious Fitness’. Like Alice - you can go there to bulk up, or shrink down - but both adventures are planned, monitored, coached and supported. There is never more than 12 people in a session (big group) or 4 (small) and you are paying to share a personal trainer with the camaraderie of others but the personal attention of your own coach. I walked in last November and they’ve not been able to kick me out since and I’m a serial - join and never go gym member.here though, I’ve only missed two sessions in 10 months. It’s part of my routine that I’ll not give up. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Curious for over 7 years, I haven’t stuck to any other fitness related class for this long which is telling in its self. Curious has created a fantastic place to train and caters for all ages and abilities. Coaches are supportive and encouraging and the members are all fab which makes each session entertaining whilst getting the work done. I can’t honestly ever see myself leaving !!!!!

Fantastic experience: I bloody love this place! The whole team are amazing at working around my various niggles and anyone who can put up with my level of wingeing and complaining deserves a medal. The level of knowledge, paired with an awesome, supportive atmosphere makes this an amazing place to train!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Curious Fitness enough. I have been going for three months, after a recommendation from someone who has been going for nearly ten years. I have seen incredible results in this short time. All the sessions are lead by a Personal Trainers, in either large group (up to 12) or small (up to 4) sessions and it's amazing the difference it makes when you have a PT showing you how to do things properly. There are a selection of morning and evening sessions and it you do a trial month, you can try them all out and see what fits. The ease of the booking system and the sessions operating both early and late means I can make it work amid my very busy schedule that changes week on week. I was open when I started about the fact that my that I was feeling nervous to join for various reasons and I felt understood straight away. The PTs cater for a wide range of people and abilities, in a non judgemental and welcoming way. It's lovely to see such a range of people training together and all getting their needs met. I am grateful to have the help of the PTs in understanding my flexible muscles for the first time in my life! As a woman, I feel safe there and this is testament to the healthy culture they maintain. It's amazing what you can achieve when someone quite literally has your back.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for around a year now after leaving a commercial gym. It’s been absolutely brilliant and I wouldn’t train anywhere else. All the trainers are amazing , they guide you, push you and make you smile! I’ve met some great people here and highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: It's a Gym, but not as you know it..... Describing Curious as a gym doesn't do it justice. It's waaaay better than a gym. Let me say upfront, I'm NOT a "gym person". If the idea of going to a gym, full of people, waiting for equipment, not really having a clue what you're doing or if you're doing it right is unappealing, then Curious solves all that. The format is 45-60 mins, big group (max 12 people) or small group (max 4) mixed ability sessions where you are coached through a programme from start to finish. Everyone gets a turn, every ability is catered for, everyone supports you. From people who are clearly very fit, to those who really aren't, those recovering from injury or surgery, to very weak (getting stronger ), post menopausal 40+ women who just want to be less "wobbly" in places ‍♀️, the team at Curious have you covered. If you want or need it they'll give you nutritional advice and support too. Is it more expensive than other gyms? - yes. But do you get actual results? - yes! I've been going for two years and not regretted a single session. So if you want to join a gym that really helps you reach your goals (and throw away the shaping underwear for good ‍♀️) then "Be Curious."

Fantastic experience: THE BEST GYM EVER. (Alex posting on Toby’s account as I don’t have one ). I’ve been coming for around 4 ish years maybe more and can’t fault the programme. I would certainly not work as hard as I do here at another gym. Great people and atmosphere. Love you guys. Xxx

Fantastic experience: I love it because you don't have to do the gym experience on your own, being in a group makes training much more fun, coaches are brilliant, and I love gym nights. Still Curious? Give it a try.

Positive experience: Great local gym with trainers that support you throughout your journey, encouraging you both in & out of the gym. I'd highly recommend this place to those new to exercise or those looking for something a little different

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Awesome team here at LTB - motivating staff, great atmosphere and real results.

Fantastic experience: Lift the Bar has to be the best gym I never been a member of. The welcome from the very first visit is warm, friendly and genuine You will have the most amazing fun while being quietly pushed to do more and do it better than you ever thought you could. This place is truly life changing and you will find another family that will support you to achieve your goals. Please just try it

Fantastic experience: An amazing and truly unique place. The trainers are brilliant, they know how to get the very best from you. I’ve only ever left the gym smiling and actually looking forward to the next session!

Fantastic experience: My favourite place! This gym is the most supportive, welcoming and wonderful gym I have ever been to, I always look forward to going and feel amazing after every session ❤️

Fantastic experience: LTB is more then just a gym, sure you get put through your paces and are there to train but the amount of fun that’s in each session is unreal. Everyone is encouraging and friendly and in the short time that I have been a member it feels like I’ve gain one of the most inclusive and supportive families anyone could ask for. I have had an incredible journey with the team so far and been able to change my way of thinking, reaching incredible results thanks to the guidance that Jonny, Ali, Michelle and Chris have provided, they are all so knowledgable and always more then happy to help even when you think it’s something small and snot worth mentioning it’s never a problem.

Fantastic experience: The most amazing gym that greets you with a smile! Keeps you motivated even on those days when you can't be bothered. Always pushing you (in a quiet but clever way) to achieve personal goals you thought were never possible. Simply the best ❤❤❤

Fantastic experience: LTB is the most amazing place... Full of people who want to enjoy being around other people, and who want to make people smile and feel good about themselves and others. Positivity breeds positivity.

Fantastic experience: LTB is a completely one off, and unique gym experience! I have gained so much more than I’d imagined since walking through those gym doors: confidence, healthier lifestyle habits, new friends, improved fitness , increased strength, fat loss, education that I can apply to my nutrition and training for the rest of my life, and best of all enjoyment of the process, I discovered that working out could be FUN! This is a completely judgement free zone unlike any gym I’ve attended where you can feel that underlying tone of competitiveness and judgement from the people around you. This gym has an entirely positive and empowering atmosphere and I always leave wearing a bigger smile than I came in with. Becoming a member is one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my wellbeing. I cannot express the level of unwavering support and encouragement you’ll receive from the team of dedicated and talented people who work here and make ltb what it is.

Fantastic experience: The friendliest place on earth. Unlike any other gym - not only does the knowledge and enthusiasm of the staff know no bounds, but the other gym members support and inspire each other like a family.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, wouldn't go anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly knowledgeable trainers and welcoming atmosphere where everyone knows your name!

Fantastic experience: If you've tried and failed to go to and stick to training at a gym this is the place to go. the community and support this place provides is amazing. Not only do you feel like even the smallest achievement is celebrate you make amazing friends along the way to celebrate it with you. Highly recommended.
