VANA: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Ben’s attention to detail is incredible. He has done a great job keeping me motivated after I set my goals on day 1. Was expecting good results to take 3-6 months, but hit my targets within 8 weeks of training here. Now have set new targets and am well on the way to achieving them with Ben’s help. Yes it is expensive but it is worth every penny!
Thanks Rob. Always grateful for your hardworking attitude and proud of everything you've achieved.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been very lucky to have trained in this gym a couple of times! Everytime I felt very welcomed and at ease in the environment with the lovely staff that work there. The equipment there is incredible and if I lived closer it would definitely be the gym I’d use more frequently. Couldn’t recommend this gym enough!
Thanks so much Hannah. Always great to have you here. Come back soon!

Fantastic experience: The only gym you'll need if you're serious about your goals. The personal trainers are highly experienced, knowledgeable and motivated to help and encourage you to work towards your goals in a professional, friendly and intimate environment. For me, receiving support and encouragement in a one to one setting, where the trainers are as invested into my journey as I am, added huge value to achieving my personal goals , held me accountable and made the whole experience a pleasure!

Keep it up :)

Highly recommend if you’re looking for expert guidance and a community vibe .
Thank you Jasmine, it's a pleasure to have you train with us. Hope we will see you back on the gym floor soon!
Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym, Great People!! Since day one the the crew at Trained By BV have been amazing. The Staff are super friendly with tons of experience. The Gym is super clean and modern with great equipment! I've been signed up since October with a tailored workout plan provided by this team, and I have been blown away by what they have been able to help me accomplish! If you're serious about making a change or just need a new exciting gym, then I seriously recommend getting on board with Trained By BV + They have a sauna! :)
Thank you so much Michael. Insane results! We are incredibly proud to be a part of what you've accomplished.
Negative experience: 40 quid a month for a small gym with no parking?? No chance, pure gym is 3 times the size and only 15 quid a month. Plus there are 2 other gyms within a mile of this one that charge around 20 quid
Thankyou for your review and yes you are correct on two local gyms being cheaper. However, Trained by BV is a private personal training gym, we are not a big box gym. Big box gyms are designed to be busy, cheap, and discourage you from coming. This keeps you hooked, spending money, not showing up, and not getting results. We are a results driven facility and our equipment and facilities are far superior hence a slightly higher price. Our facility is better suited for individuals looking for better results, maximise their training, a less crowded private gym where you won’t be waiting for equipment and get to use some of the very best gym equipment on the market. Trained by BV would like to wish you the very best of luck on your health and fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym because the equipment is of such a high quality. The personal trainers and very knowledgeable and supportive. Definitely excellent value for money.
Thanks so much Kevin. We really appreciate you and have loved being a part of your incredible journey. Hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Never been in the gym but was just walking past carrying something heavy and Ben ran out to help me with it down the road. Must be a friendly and helpful place
Fantastic experience: I have been going to the gym since it opened and wanted to say it is excellent. Trainers, equipment and membership facilities all the very highest standard. Best gym in Bristol and the south west in my opinion
Negative experience: It's really expensive Not worth money
Hi Aishwariya I’m sorry to hear you feel like this. Our gym membership which you enquired about is £40 per month. Im sorry to hear you feel that this is expensive and not worth the money however we feel that with the quality of the gym equipment on hand combined with the fact that Trained by BV is a private facility (we specialise in Personal Training) this fee is competitive and we have many happy members who love training here. Have a great day
Fantastic experience: My experience at Trained By BV was so positive, and I always enjoyed my workouts here. The only thing I regret is that I did not join sooner! It is undoubtedly one of the few gym environments in Bristol where you don`t have to stress about how crowded it will be when you get there or the lack of professional machines. People are also more aware of the time, and are willing to share the machines with others (although this will rarely be the case). Plenty of dumbells and some of the best machines I tried. The hack squat machine is not completely vertical so takes off the pressure on your back and shoulders, and just feels like it's high quality, like the rest of the machines. There is also a variety of grips for training upper body. It is super clean and the light is great. As a woman, I definitely felt integrated and empowered training in this gym. People who want to focus on hypertrophy training will just love it. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Sparkling clean gym focused on providing a quality experience, not on the quantity of members it can squeeze in. As such, this space never feels crowded and there are no queues for equipment (which is especially important during these pandemic times!). Each of the PTs are super knowledgeable about all things fitness and nutrition, and are passionate about their work. As well as being total guns at their jobs, they’re also the friendliest guys ever, and will remember you by name and make you feel totally welcome every time you pop by. Although they do memberships, I would recommend getting a trainer to get the max out of this place. I have been training with Micah, and he is absolutely fantastic. In just six weeks I’m already seeing (and feeling) such a difference! Just like the PTs, the equipment is the best of the best too. Bonus - there is an on-site cafe whipping up the most delicious post-workout shakes! Honestly couldn’t recommend this facility any more highly.
Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started working with Ben James at Trained by BV, the 121 PT is first class, great teaching to improve technique and coaching to encourage me to work hard, which is really making a difference. The gym has some first class kit and the team are super friendly and supportive.
Fantastic experience: I am really enjoying training here, so supportive.
Fantastic experience: Trained here recently and it's honestly some of the best equipment I've ever used! It's a high end training facility with a professional and welcoming team. If you're serious about obtaining real results then this is the place to be. Would highly recommend dropping by and taking a look around.
Fantastic experience: Really cool gym, really listen to what you want to achieve and supportive with the advice.
Fantastic experience: This must be the absolute best gym in bristol ! The really good looking head trainer, Ben, really knows his stuff and has helped me transform my body completely !! I used to be a size 10 but am feeling great I am size 6 now and can’t wait to strut around in my Incy wincy bikini ... before I would almost have to wear full swimming costume to hide all the bulges. Thanks Ben and all the team at BV . You have made me so happy ! Top marks !
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym with a brilliant supportive team, fully recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, top equipment and a really nice team
Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience, supportive and friendly. Classes are for all levels and trainers are very attentive and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend.
Negative experience: Website had a 6 day count down on the 11th of October and and it is the 29th and it just says 0 days on it, and they have failed to show information anywhere on the site about the Gym, it just says “Contact Us”
Hi there. Apologies that the count down timer wasn't working. Having just read your review, I would like to invite you to the gym to come and experience the end result - even if it did take us slightly longer than planned. Take Care
