Applebees Fitness

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Applebee's fitness more! I did two postnatal fitness courses. Ben and Kristy were both fantastic. The small group workouts were perfect and there was a real attention to detail to making sure I had personalised feedback and tips. I've never been able to do press ups before having a baby, and now I can! I didn't expect to feel so much stronger! Thank you Applebee's

Fantastic experience: I have never been a great one for going to the gym but with age comes less flexibility. So for nearly two years now I have been having PT sessions with Ben. I wont be entering any strong man competitions but under Ben's patient support my flexibility and posture has improved immensely. Sit up and press ups, now no problems, well almost! Thanks Ben

Fantastic experience: I attend the group PT sessions at this gym and have found it welcoming, inclusive and great value for money. I have been impressed by the community feel, friendliness and professionalism. I love that Ben also commits his time to work for the fire service and is sourcing support for community well-being projects. So great to hear about people working hard for the communities they are part of. Well done

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for friendly, experienced fitness advice, then look no further! I have used Applebees Fitness to get in to shape and change my diet pre and post having children. They helped me achieve my fitness goals whilst also educating me on diet and lifestyle changes. I have loved being part of such a supportive community. Thank you Ben and Team!

Fantastic experience: The energy that Ben and the team provide just makes it enjoyable to do any class.

Positive experience: I tried this gym out and felt it was average, not the worst and certainly not the best. I am also aware that the owners 4x4 massive fuel guzzler is often parked in Richmond Road, which causes residents problems getting out of their driveways, as their vision is often obscured by such a large truck. If Applebees is successfully making a profit, I would suggest he parks in Tescos. It costs about £4.50 a day and this can be offset against Tax, much better than annoying local people. It’s a shame that one person has to drive such a large vehicle to work, perhaps he could park it in the ‘Park and Ride’ and cycle the remaining distance. It shouldn’t be a problem if you are as fit as you like to think your customers are. Fuel guzzlers are not necessary these days, they usually belong to arrogant people who don’t give a damn about the environment or climate change, lead by example and get yourself an electric car!

Fantastic experience: I joined Applebees as someone who hated exercise, 3 years later I love it! That comes from the expertise and enthusiasm of Ben, Marco and the whole team. They are supportive and work with your level of ability, absolutely fantastic

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Applebees for a couple of years and always come away with a smile on my face even if my body isn’t happy! It was really welcoming from the start which was great for someone who had lost some of the fitness they had when they were younger and was a little nervous to join a new gym. Ben and his team are great at adjusting to individual ability but at the same time pushing you. The aerobics class is also great

Fantastic experience: I joined Applebees at age 68 last August and I can honestly say it has been a life changer. I'm stronger than I've ever been and the fittest since I was 20! I can honesty say that Applebees gym is my Happy Place and I really look forward to my two group PT sessions each week. The instructors are kind, supportive, adaptable and fun! Being able to work outside in glorious surroundings is the icing on the (low carb) cake! Thank you Applebees.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, encouraging fitness studio offering an array of programmes to suit your exercising goals and preferences. Don't drink the river water though as they (Applebees Fitness) don't control the poo content.

Fantastic experience: Literally the best fitness group I've ever been a part of! They have something for everyone and all of their instructors are so helpful, friendly and knowledgable! I recommend them to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym, with genuinely caring trainers. I do a group PT which is a small group (6) of customers and they support and encourage you at your own ability. 100% recommendation if you are looking at improving your fitness

Fantastic experience: Applebees Fitness is personal and local. Ben and the team are people you can trust for sure and what’s more he’s a top bloke too. Honest and caring and interested in your personal health and well-being.

Fantastic experience: Applebees is a wonderful facility with a genuine ethos of inclusivity. The owner is a saint, who never stops thinking about how to help the community. The whole team are top class. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love Applebees and have so much respect for how approachable and inclusive they are as a gym. A big focus on encouraging anyone and everyone to work out. Their postnatal classes are brilliant and have improved my fitness massively. They are a family run business so bringing babies is along is never a problem. Group PT and 1:1 classes are fab too. A very tailored service according to injury rehab etc. Highly recommend Ben and everyone in his team. There’s nowhere quite like Applebees.

Fantastic experience: I discovered Applebees through the postnatal fitness course a couple of years ago. The course was a brilliant way of rebuilding my strength post-pregnancy, and it didn't take long before I was actually stronger and fitter than I'd ever been before having children! I've continued attending the workout and play sessions ever since, which my children and I really enjoy. They genuinely continue to maintain and improve my strength and fitness. Ben is excellent, and very good at tailoring the workout based on your ability and needs. The cafe underneath is also excellent and it's definitely a perk to be able to indulge in a post-workout treat.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Applebees since 2020 and have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of training. Ranging from home workouts during lockdown, group classes, small group Pt and 1-1 sessions to help with strength work to keep me injury free during triathlon training. The team are so approachable and will always adapt workouts to suit all needs. If you are looking for a friendly, non intimidating small gym then this comes very highly recommended

Negative experience: I would use this to improve my fitness, but i don't want to support the owner who insists on parking his huge 4x4 copper and black pick up in our street instead of paying for his parking. this has meant our street now been asked to have parking permits.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Applebees Fitness. I have been attending for 6 months having two blocks of PT and attending many different classes throughout the week both in person and online. The small team approach is really supportive and welcoming. The variety of classes is great and I love the flexibility of the MOVE sessions to fit around my busy schedule juggling work and children.

Fantastic experience: I been going to Applebee's since November 2021 after having my first baby and it been brilliant! I did the postnatal course with Harriet and it was the best experience as I made new friends and she was excellent! Iv now move on to work out and play and doing group PT with Ben and it's fantastic. You get so much support! You don't just feel like another costomer the pts really get to know you and your goal and try and support you all the way. It's also great I can take my little one to some this workout so I dont have to worry about childcare. Honestly 100% recommend!! Especially for mummys! X

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the class based workouts. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I attended the post natal workout course and loved it so much I signed up three times in a row. The class is a brilliant way to re-gain physical and mental health postnatally while making new mum friends. Harriet is a great PT, she made sure I was working out at the right level for me, concentrating on building up my strength gradually after having a baby. Me and the other girls in the group have lots of fun during the class, there is no pressure in terms of level of fitness. It’s also lovely watching the babies interacting with each other and hopefully start to build a friendship. I highly recommend the course but also Applebee’s in general, they are very professional but what makes them stand out it the personal feel. I have also attended their boot camps which are a good start to the weekend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to postnatal class for 7 months and I am not thinking of stopping this soon. I love the class and also I appreciated that they managed to continue the class on zoom during lockdown. I can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and PT! Been going for 6 months now and they’re a great team and fab classes!

Fantastic experience: I have worked out with these guys for around 3/4 years now and I can only say that Ben is awesome he has really worked hard and has now created a fantastic team dedicated at pushing us to our limits and encouraging us to work hard and better ourselves. It’s always fun even when it hurts like hell, there are great members who you can have a laugh with too. Working out for me isn't just about getting fitter it’s about having while you do it. I would recommend them to anyone for group or one to one do it you won’t look back.

Fantastic experience: Love Applebees fitness so much. Such a great range of classes to choose from. I ways feel challenged and supported. It is unlike other gyms as it is more like a supportive family community that encourage and support each other no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I loved the post natal classes with Harriet, my favourite class is always kettlebells and feel stronger than ever. To work harder I joined the group pt classes which I find really help motivate me and I love the smaller group team. All the team members are highly motivating, kind and supportive. I can't recommend applebees fitness enough and it's the only gym I have actually stuck at.

Fantastic experience: I have been personal training with Ben for many years. As a triathlete he helps me to stay strong, fit and flexible so that I can race injury free. Training is always varied and fun. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: We gave stand up paddle boarding a go. It was amazing. So much fun. Friendly instructors and relaxed.

Positive experience: Nice coffee. Snacks a bit pricey

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community-minded facility run by an enthusiastic crew in the heart of French Weir park right alongside the River Tone. Canoeing & kayaking - regular groups, courses and instruction; youth club, activities, conference room, petanque, plus a meeting place for all sorts of walks, cycling and outdoor activities. And a lovely friendly cafe (with wi-fi) if you just want to have a coffee and watch the world go by.
