Carla Gilder Fitness

Fantastic experience: Carla Gilder Fitness is not just the best fitness business around, it's a friendly community - it's my favourite time of the week! Great instructors, a variety of classes to choose from, and lots of others fun activities. You would be mad not to join!

Fantastic experience: Having been a member from the very beginning I can honestly say that CGF has been a way of life for me. Starting with legs bums & tums, I now do piloxing, boxercise, hiitstep, spin, kettles and many more. CGF is not mirrors & makeup, it’s for real people, all ages, and all shapes and sizes. It’s not only about physical fitness it’s about the community and friendships made. The instructors are professional and adapt to the individuals needs, and are first rate.

Fantastic experience: I love Carla gilder because firstly when I joined I was made so welcome by the trainers and other people in the classes , the classes are small and there are so many different classes so you don’t get bored like going to the gym. I try to get to the spin classes, kettle size, sweat and tone and love the variation, so many to chose from, I only wish I didn’t work then I could get to loads more classes. Highly recommend if you like variation and want to meet loads of lovely like minded people to get fit in a fun way.

Fantastic experience: Started off doing one class a week 6 years ago. After continually saying I wouldn’t be able to do anything other than Zumba, I’m now doing up to 8 classes a week . It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for exercise and making lots of new friends. Thank you so much for the encouragement and motivation.

Fantastic experience: If you are like me and couldn’t get into the gym… Carla gilder fitness is the place for you. Not only are the classes fantastic the people you meet become not only your fitness buddies but outside buddies. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms! 12 months in and feel better than ever

Fantastic experience: I started CGF classes way more than 10 years ago. For someone who has genuinely never stuck at ANY form of exercise for more than one month, I’m pretty happy with my achievement. I rarely feel comfortable in groups of people I don’t know but, somehow, I felt at ease in the CGF family from day one. I’ve tried a real mix of classes finding which I enjoy most but also which push me out of my comfort zone and have been supported through my efforts. Attending classes through injuries and post surgery have been made possible by the way the amazing instructors are always willing to adapt exercises so it’s possible to join in. When I have to miss classes through work or even holidays, I really miss them! Thank you CGF for always going the extra mile

Fantastic experience: As an older lady, I lacked the confidence to join a gym and struggled to find a fitness regime that suited me. Since joining CGF this has changed and I now look forward to several different sessions each week. The instructors are helpful, friendly and motivating. I can honestly say it feels like a family. There is something for every one of any ability. I would highly recommend CGF.

Fantastic experience: Fab classes! There is an amazing range of classes to do both in bollington and Macclesfield. All the CGF team are brilliant at what they do and know what they are talking about. They’ve kept going this year by going digital which is also a great experience. Thank you CGF x

Fantastic experience: Love all the classes. Everyone is very friendly and non judgmental no matter how unfit you are! I’ve lost over 2 stone since joining in September 2020. I’ve completed sculpt which I love also.all the instructors are inspiring and motivating

Fantastic experience: I joined CGF last year starting on the shine program having not done any exercise since having my daughter in 2020. Doing this program I tried the different classes cgf offered and gained tasters to these. Since then I have been really enjoying attending mon wed and Friday early morning classes ran by the wonderful louise and when I can attending the varied evening classes too. Since starting ive lost weight, toned up and also improved my fitness significantly. As a team they are fantastic and are invested in you as an individual aswell as involving you in the cgf community. Highly recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: I joined CGF with the Shine program in January 2024 after a long time off exercise due to illness. Fast forward to now, having completed four rounds of Shine and now attending various classes a week, I feel fitter, stronger and am more active than I was 10 years ago! Everything is tailored to individual needs and capabilities and Carla and the team, and all the other members, make you feel instantly welcome and part of the family. Would highly recommend to anyone from those just starting a fitness journey to those wanting to improve. There's a huge choice of classes available throughout the week to suit all. Definitely 5 stars from me!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable trainers. I would absolutely recommend CGF to anyone at any level. I joined on the Shine programme in June, was able to try different classes as part of that, found the ones I like and have even joined the 12 week Sculpt programme with lovely ladies meaning I actually look forward to Monday mornings! Thank you to all the CGF team.

Fantastic experience: I came to CGF after many tried and failed attempts to reintroduce exercise into my routine & I honestly couldn’t be happier! Starting exercise again as a beginner is a daunting ask, but Carla and the rest of the team at CGF have been so welcoming and encouraging. Carla has listened to my aims and keeps our PT sessions varied and enjoyable - I always leave feeling energised and excited to go again! Despite not usually feeling confident enough to join classes, I’ve been able to throw myself into everything CGF has to offer. In part this is due to the fabulous community that has been built there. It’s a truly great group of people who I trust to help me achieve my goals in a safe, fun and nurturing environment. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic range of classes with highly professional instructors. Carla is what makes CGF special but alll the team and members are lovely and everyone is postive and friendly. Real fitness for real people.

Fantastic experience: Just above Bitter and Twisted mcc. Great place even better people

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over 5 years now. It's the only exercise I have ever stuck at. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging and there are all levels of abilities. There is an excellent mix of classes from weights, HIIT, kettlebells, Zumba, piloxing, pilates and loads more. The team moved quickly to get everything online during COVID and there is a mega vault of on demand video classes Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for somewhere to get fit and keep fit, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere then this is the place! Fabulous range of classes for an excellent workout, with a supportive professional team. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: There is an exercise class to suit everyone at CGF and they are always fun & friendly. Carla & all the instructors worked very hard & quickly at the start of all the social restrictions this year to put online an amazing range of live & on demand classes. CGF kept me going through this frustrating year. It took me until 53 years old to find my perfect gym - don’t you wait so long! Give it a try & see why CGF has committed loyal members.

Fantastic experience: Carla Gilder Fitness converted me from unfit fat lad to amateur athlete! The range of classes and the knowledge of all the instructors and trainers is second to none. What ever level you are starting at, there will be a class for you! Highly recommended!
