The Project PT: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The Project PT have been absolutely fantastic at continuing to support me with weight training during my pregnancy. I love attending the classes and all the trainers are so friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend it enough!
One of my favourite things to see is someone going through pregnancy still training in our gyms. Thank you for trusting us with your journey!
Fantastic experience: Project PT is an amazing space where they take the time to make sure you're comfortable with the exercises and also constantly improving your strength and stamina.
That's exactly what we want to hear, you feel comfortable. Just as everyone should do in a gym! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Thank you for a fantastic camp experience! Our child had a wonderful time and came home each day happy and content. We really appreciated the thoughtful balance of activities, as well as the patience, enthusiasm, and support from the entire team. It was clear that the staff took the time to listen, understand, and respond to the different needs of each child, which made a big difference. We've already registered for the August camp and have recommended it to friends. Highly recommend!
This is everything to us! We set up our camps to ensure our own child had a space to be seen and heard, it's wonderful we have been able to offer this to so many. See you in August!
Fantastic experience: My son did work experience with Project PT in Botley. They were so welcoming, inclusive, thoughtful and kind in the way that he was treated throughout. The preparation was very thorough, he got a timetable in advance so he knew what to expect each day. Everyone was friendly and it made what was a challenging experience very positive. We couldn't be more grateful to Project PT and Jess in particular for being so positive and enthusiastic.
Ailsa, this is wonderful to hear! I met your son when he was working alongside Sasha, he was so engaged and happy. It was everything we want to see!
Fantastic experience: Very happy to have found this awesome group of people. I was struggling to find a fulfilling workout regime, recovering from spine surgery but Project PT has been just that. The mood is always good, instructions are clear and the progress is great. Love the work-outs as well as the people who are in the classes. 5/5
It's wonderful you found us and could trust us with your journey back! Thank you for the trust and love in this review!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, brilliant, friendly and knowledgable coaches. Ethical through and through. Inspiring and encouraging.
Cathy, this means so much! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member for about 20 months and do strength classes 3x per week. Amazing what a difference i observed. The classmates and coach are highly supportive and get to know your abilities and goals. Best decision i made to join!
This is wonderful to read, thank you so much for taking the time to share your journey!
Fantastic experience: I had my first 1:1 in the Mag Road gym on Saturday with Gianna, who was brilliant. Their patience, as my mind and body attempted to 'argue' about what to do, combined with excellent teaching skills, encouragement, and a great sense of humour, made all the difference. As a complete gym rookie, I felt instantly at home and that this was a space where I could achieve my goals. I found the gym online and was sold on your ethos, inclusivity, and work with young people. I highly recommend you check them out on Magdalen Road or in Botley.
Thank you Lucie! Gi is the best and will love reading this!
Fantastic experience: I had never been to a gym before, always felt too intimated, but the support of the coaches at Project PT made this possible. It is also very good for a beginner as they take you through all the exercises and don't make you feel stupid for not understanding gym lingo, as they explain things really clearly. I saw a lot of progress, but without the pressure of 'gym bro' culture. The culture of the gym is very friendly, inclusive to women, minoritised genders, LGBTQIA+/ queer people. I'd highly recommend them!
Rachel, thank you for being part of our community. We are as inclusive as we are thanks to people like you!
Fantastic experience: Just been to my first 1:1 session at Botley Gym in West Oxford. It’s a great location with a friendly and approachable vibe. I had no idea what to expect but my coach welcomed me and helped me do some good work so now I’m looking forward to my next session. All are welcome - whatever your age, fitness level or concerns. Call in and see for yourself? Like me, you won’t regret it
Hi Pauline, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It means so much to us all, it's been a long journey to get Botley open. We hope you have your next sessions booked in and look forward to welcoming you soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: My teen really enjoys training sessions at Project PT. A relaxed atmosphere and trainers who are really comfortable working with young people. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: Such a supportive environment to exercise in. I attend the strength sessions mostly, which are hour-long sessions where maximum 8 people follow a set programme led by a coach. The coaches know what they are doing and the atmosphere in the strength sessions is always great. I never regret a session and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived, it is an instant mood boost!
Molly, our team will be thrilled to read this review! Everything you have said is exactly what we are thriving to create! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: Excellent inclusive skateboarding session with a fantastic team.
Hi Alex, thank you so much! We had so much fun.
Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful - everything is so easy-going and supportive, from signup to intro 1:1s and the classes themselves. There are many times and class types to choose from - all it takes is to step in the door, and you'll see how easy it is to start getting to the gym.
Hi Chi, thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so happy you've found us!
Fantastic experience: Awesome team, led by Sophie who has really guided my son on doing something he is passionate about. Today he received his certificates and was so happy with them. Hopefully this helps to spread the word for other children.
Hello Lee, thank you so much for this wonderful review and comments about the amazing Sophie. We hope to see your son again soon!
Fantastic experience: These people really live for improving others' fitness levels! They approach the work with energy and joy, I really found it infectious. A very cool gym indeed.
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to write this and say such lovely things! You are right, our whole team lives to support and empower people!
Fantastic experience: Fanstastic gym! The classes are nicely balanced and all the PTs take the necessary time and attention to make sure that you're making the most of your time there.
Mateusz, thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: The only gym I'd go to. Ajaye and Alexa have created the most welcoming space for movement and community. I go on the pretext of improving strength but have gained so much more than this. Everyone is so friendly and you get to know regular faces; in each session people encourage each other to have a go and I've ended up improving almost without realising. They're truly showing fitness and exercise don't have to be painful or put a huge stress on the body - I feel like I'm the strongest I've ever been just through turning up for a chat and doing the odd lunge!
Molly, thank you so much! This means the world to is. We hope to see you soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: The best gym ever!! Pop in, say hello and see for yourself.
Thanks so much Jason!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym. True community spirit and like no other gym I have been to before. The coaches Gianne, Mili and Jess are brilliant each adding their personal style to the sessions.
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to mention some of our team. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: The friendliest, most qualified PTs with the smallest classes. My fitness and strength has transformed since training there in the last 6 months. I’ve worked steadily and gradually to regain fitness after a serious illness. I’ve lost a stone and I’m back up, strong and thriving again, thanks to the detail and attention of the PTs who run the classes and PT David who I see individually. It’s a real community: regular clients, familiar faces in the classes which leads to laughs and support: Project PT works and is worth every penny.
Rachel, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful review. It means so much. We are lucky to have such a fantastic team and community around us.
Fantastic experience: I love being a member of project PT - I never thought I was a “gym-person” but was interested to try strength-based exercises, and am so pleased I did! The coaches are so wonderful and knowledgeable, and work very hard to make all the classes both fun and great exercise. Thank you all!
Thank you for this lovely review Bella, we’re super glad you’re enjoying your experience at the gym.
Fantastic experience: The staff at Project PT are knowledgeable and passionate about their fields, they create a good vibe where everyone can thrive at every level. You're getting well designed workouts which are updated routinely, constant helpful feedback on technique, plus a warm welcoming culture. I highly recommend it.
Arthur, thank you for this lovely review. The team
Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently stayed in Oxford for 3 months, and joined The Project PT gym for the time we were there. We always felt incredibly welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the environment and positive vibe and energy every time we went there. The format of the classes is interactive, enables you to set your own limits, and is fun. The staff are incredibly professional, we mainly had Gianna and Jess as our session trainers. Both are excellent, experienced trainers, assisting us always, and making the sessions fun. We would highly recommend The Project PT to anyone looking for a local gym with great trainers. Greg and Kathy (Aussie tourists)
Greg and Kathy, thank you for this lovely review. We wish you luck in your future travels.
Fantastic experience: Project pt is an incredibly welcoming community space. The PTs are a lovely and enthusiastic team and the classes / movement sequences are put together with a lot of care.
Thank you Emily
Fantastic experience: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant- friendly, accommodating and so helpful
Thank you Sarah.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending the Skateboarding sessions and has absolutely loved them. Her confidence (and skills) have improved immensely in the weeks she has attended . I adore that the Momentum Project , provided so expertly by The Project PT, has allowed so many girls this summer thrive and grow their confidence. I have great respect for how Sophie in particular has spoken to my daughter each week and welcomed her so enthusiastically to each session. Having an adult speak to an eleven year old in such a supportive and respectful way is refreshing in a time when girls (and children/young teenagers are often either dismissed or spoken to via their parents) Giving my daughter a voice and space to have an opinion of her own is a huge thing for me. Thank you. She also has some really cool profile pics on her phone apps now that she is a Sk8r!
Awesome to hear Dee, I know the team really enjoyed this project!
Fantastic experience: I love this gym - and I am not a gym kind of person - or so I thought! Such a warm and welcoming environment, I really enjoy my classes and feel so much healthier after a few weeks.
Thank you Lucy! It’s lovely to hear how much you’re enjoying the gym :)
Fantastic experience: Joined early this year - heaps of fun and addictive in that entirely positive way. Very thoughtful induction with 1:1s, kind and encouraging support in each session, unassuming and professional guidance. Great to see my strength and stability grow with each session.
Thank you Irene for this beautiful review :)
Fantastic experience: Friendly professional experts
Thanks Judith
Fantastic experience: Excellent in all ways - coaching, kit, community. Highly recommended.
Thank you Sara
Fantastic experience: Join this gym! Project PT is the best gym I've ever had the privilege to be a part of. I've been a member for over 1 year now. Every member of staff I've been in contact with has shown a natural warmth, an awesome attitude, and a wealth of knowledge. I know that I've been coached to feel my best self when training at every session. The staff all bring their own set of skills, many speak other languages, and it's an inclusive space. The classes are never oversubscribed and you're part of a small group each class so it still feels like you're getting a PT experience. I always leave feeling well-connected and energised. The trainers really showcase a 'no question is a silly one' approach. The classes are fun and there isn't an ounce of pretense to this wonderful place. Thank you for creating such a special hub in the community! Love you guys!
Thank you Gabrielle for this wonderful review! It put a massive smile on our faces :)
Fantastic experience: Joining this gym has turned me into a person that looks forward to coming every week and I get dissapointed if other plans derail my gym classes. Very good atmosphere, friendly and not intimidating at all
Thank you Amalia!
Fantastic experience: Amazing concept and cause
Thank you Mark!
Fantastic experience: Time to review my favorite gym ever! I started with Project PT at a time when I felt really low about my body and my physical fitness level, especially after lockdown. Project PT has been the single best thing I could have done for my wellbeing! Not just my feelings about my body, but my feelings about my capabilities in life in general! The staff is warm, welcoming, non-judgemental, and are able to adjust any exercise to your level. This is the FIRST gym I've ever gone to that doesn't have a hint of toxic gym culture, and for me it felt like a whole new world. This great atmosphere is reflected in the clientele: everyone else I've met at Project PT has been friendly, and happy to be there. There is a wide range of people with vastly different bodies, experiences, and abilities, which made me feel comfortable being there too. The small class sizes are also a perfect mix of social and individual attention from trainers. (Also, the fact you have to book your classes in advance means that I actually show up consistently!) At Project PT I took up powerlifting for the first time, something which had always intrigued me, but which I'd assumed "wasn't for me." Lo and behold, not only was it fun, but I was good at it! Now, whenever I feel bad about how my body looks, or the things I can't do physically, I think to myself, "but you can lift X kilograms! That's amazing!" It has genuinely helped me feel more comfortable about myself, my health, and what I can accomplish. Perhaps most importantly, I've been able to take the skills I've learned at Project PT with me elsewhere. When travelling and using other gyms, I've been able to walk into a traditional, "bro culture" gym and use the weights section with confidence. It doesn't bother me to use "serious" equipment like dumbbells or the squat rack, because I'm confident in my technique. I feel like I can take up space at the gym now, because I deserve to be there too! (And it helps that I can now lift heavy weights with the best of them!) Project PT also puts out free PDFs with the monthly exercises, meaning that when I travel I can follow along and not lose my progress. I genuinely cannot recommend this gym enough, no joke, it may be a contributing factor in my choice to remain in Oxford. It's a special place and I don't take it for granted!
Thank you so much Talia, what wonderful words. Every person that steps in our gym helps build the community further.
Fantastic experience: Great community gym with a really good ethos and great atmosphere. A safe place to work out in a fun and inclusive environment.
Hiya Joe, thanks for your review. Your feedback is great to hear!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly, helpful team. Great gym too - delighted I found this place!
Emily, thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Project PT for a few months and have been very impressed by their offering: knowledgeable, friendly, professional. Having been a consumer of various PT services over many years, including some fairly 'fancy' ones in both Hong Kong and London, I really view the Project PT offering as being right up there in terms of effectiveness and results, but in a thankfully down-to-earth manner. A very significant additional 'bonus' to being a client of Project PT is that you are supporting an organization who, in addition to offering excellent training services, have an equally impressive social impact program focused on vulnerable young people. In my view the importance of this sort of work cannot be overstated, and Project PT are to be highly commended for their great work in this space.
Eddie, wow. How fantastic to be compared to third space. Your support and comments mean so much.
Fantastic experience: Loved the Yoga Brunch at Tap Social. Great way to start a Saturday morning!
Thank you so much for this review! We're so glad you enjoyed the event, it was the first event we ever created.
Fantastic experience: An absolute joy of a gym. Super knowledgeable and friendly coaches, gorgeous facilities and classes that feel more like small PT sessions. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
Sinead, thank you so much! We’re lucky to have trained you!
Fantastic experience: Just had my 2nd breakfast and yoga experience. Such a treat and a wonderful start to the weekend.
Sara. Thank you so much for such a lovely review, we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Utterly amazing place. Brilliant, intelligent and clued in trainers, good equipment and inclusive and friendly atmosphere. Life changing!
Illan, thank you. We’re so lucky to have been able to help you!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and great vibe.
Thanks Sam, we’ve got great showers too!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyable session. Lovely location, lovely weather and the brunch was excellent too. Highly recommend it
Thank you Rob, hope to see you at an event again soon.
Fantastic experience: This is my favourite gym ever - the format of small group classes is perfect for me as I know exactly what to do, and why - the trainers are fantastic, positive and knowledgeable. The organisation is super positive - there is no emphasis on weight loss, just positivity around exercise to make you feel at your best. Also it's super inclusive, clean, bright and every member I've met has been absolutely brilliant too. I would recommend this gym to anyone (and have!) but especially if you're unsure about how to start back in on exercise. I started from nil knowledge and confidence and I love it - I've enjoyed every session. The intro sessions are perfect so you know exactly where to start from. I cant recommend this place enough - its really transformed how I think about exercise.
Thank you for this lovely review, it’s great to hear how much you’re enjoy the sessions :) we’ll see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Professional and knowledgeable trainers with a great community feel. Excellent facilities and a fantastic choice of classes! Just attended a local assault course event with Project PT that was well organised, great fun and challenging.
Thanks Sam! It was great to have you at the event!! Zhane definitely enjoyed the Star Wars conversations!
Fantastic experience: Brilliqnt gym. Friendly knowledgeable staff and an brilliant atmosphere.
Dan, we love training you and all your support!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I've been going to Magdalen Road classes since they opened in January. They are really dedicated to seeing your fitness improve, focusing on technique and building strength and confidence. It's lots of fun and inclusive. I would highly recommend
Thank you so much Laura, you’re such a fantastic supporter of ours!
Fantastic experience: My new happy place!!! The trainers are super lovely, knowledgeable and non-judgemental. The sessions are small and really personalised, so everyone gets exactly what they need - there is a huge variety in class attendees, which is lovely. All trainers are really welcoming and they clearly know what they are doing. There is just the right amount of push versus support, and I love how it feels like everyone is celebrating each other's small and/or huge wins. By far the best gym I've been to, hands down (and I've been to almost all of them in Oxford at some point!).
Laura, you make it our happy place!
Fantastic experience: I've been with The Project PT since the beginning and have loved watching it grow and develop. So much more than just exercise... sessions with the project have benefited me not only physically but also mentally and emotionally... also, lucky enough to have made friends for life through these guys! Recently I made the decision to move to their new studio on Magdalen Road from the Movement Studio. The combination of easier access, variety of classes and not wanting to give up my boxing classes were a few of the pros. But there are so many more- the space itself is perfect pros not only being the carefully selected exercise equipment available but the amazing showers and GHDs make early morning sessions before work much easier! The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable in what they do. Each selected with varied interests from kayaking to powerlifting and boxing to Indian clubs... But how do I summarise the new gym. Maybe this message I sent to the team after an epic weekend session: I'm loving the new gym.... had a great session Saturday morning... loving the group sessions and the teamwork that comes out of it... Matt and Milly really listened to what we needed to push ourselves that bit more... It did help it was sandwiched by getting bread from Hamblin before and coffee from Missing Bean after!
Thank you Nikki!!
Fantastic experience: Laid back, enthusiastic, challenging and fun. The hour session always goes quickly. All the team are super friendly and super knowledgable and the other members all share the same ethic - learn, laugh, lift.
Anne, coming from a fellow professional this is wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Ajaye and Alexa changed my entire perspective on going to the gym and getting in shape by making our sessions fun and varied and super motivating. On top of training with them, I've enjoyed lots of their external events such as their film screenings and big walk outs, which are great at getting all sorts of people from different backgrounds together and building a really friendly community.
Thank you - it's always a pleasure coaching you!
Fantastic experience: Great place with motivational personal trainers. They never let you give up! The boxing class on a Wednesday night is a personal favourite - I've just got back from one. Ideally located with fantastic facilities.
Ben, thank you!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the Project PT at Magdalen Rd. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and kind meaning that the environment is so inclusive and inviting. I would, and have been, recommending it to everyone. The facilities are also very smart. Join, you won’t regret it.
Jessica, thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: Unpretentious and knowledgable trainers. Small classes, as close to individual attention. A great asset to Magdalen Road / East Oxford
Cathy, you are fantastic!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Ajaye last May. I love my weekly PT sessions and always feel great afterwards. I have also joined the movement studio and feel so much more confident since starting sessions there with all the trainers.
Hey Ellie, it’s fantastic to hear you feel more confident. You’re awesome to have in the studio, it’s always a great session with you there. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: The best decision I ever made was to join project pt during pregnancy. Alexa, prepared a programme for me that focussed on lower body which was exactly what I needed to help me pick things up from the floor in a safe and strong way. It was also a huge advantage after giving birth and I had to get up from the floor or the bed or sofa with a new born. I trained once a week and despite my increase in size and weight I saw definite improvements in my strength and techniques. The whole team are all so knowledgeable; I was grateful to train with a variety of instructors who added different experiences to my programme, keeping my training interesting and fun. This also gave me the confidence to push myself - knowing that I was in experienced safe hands. I had a lot of fun training with project pt and I can’t wait to get back when the little one is a bit older!
Hiya Heena, thank you for the review :) it was a pleasure to be a part of your pregnancy journey! We look forward to meeting the little one and seeing you back in the gym soon!
Fantastic experience: If you're not sure that the hyper-focus on body image prevalent in most commercial gyms is a good fit for you, this is the right place for you. The Project PT trainers emphasize strength, activity and a healthy mindset and you feel that they genuinely care about you as an individual and not just a client. And they deliver results - I am amazed at how much stronger and comfortable I am in my body with just a few months of training and I'm excited to see what I can do in the coming year. The Project PT is the best gym I've ever been part of and it is truly a non-judgmental and supportive community. Thank you so much!
Hiya! Thank you for this wonderful review, we’ve all enjoyed watching your progress over the last few months and are looking forward to seeing that continue! Your dedication to training despite set backs is always inspiring for us to see! Alexa
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. Great equipment too.
Thank you Janet.
Fantastic experience: We just attended the yoga brunch at the tap social and it was the best start to the weekend!! Lovely warm welcome, fantastic yoga followed by a delicious lunch with great company. Can't recommend it enough...
Hi Emma, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. We’re so glad you felt so well welcomed, it’s really important to us that people feel at home and safe straight away. We hope to see you soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found project PT! I attended one of their yoga & brunch sessions, and couldn't recommend it more. The team had put so much effort and creativity into making the space unique and charming, and were all so welcoming. Hannah pitched the yoga class perfectly - I think that's the first time I've done a 90 minute yoga class without my mind drifting off! Brunch was also fab. Altogether - faultless.
Hi Emma, thank you for this lovely review and noticing all the little touches. We can’t wait to welcome you into our High Street Studio. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: Attended the yoga brunch this morning. Really well organized, lovely space and really friendly staff. Great yoga teacher and yummy brunch to follow. Went with a friend and we both loved it and already planning to book for the next one in December.
Hi Linda, we can’t wait to welcome you in December. A nice Christmas feel will be on the agenda. Thank for taking the time to write this. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of the Project PT. I've never got on with formal exercise classes, gyms etc but had got to a point where I knew some parts of me were working a little better than others... Having identified my goals, a personalised plan to meet them was designed and I go once or twice a week and work on that - supervised by a lovely team of PTs and joined by up to 3 other clients, all with their own plans. You book when you want to go so can flex it depending on what else is going on in your life that week. The atmosphere is really friendly, relaxed and non-judgemental - and fun. I've been going for about 2 months now and can really notice the difference. Just brilliant.
Hey Nic, we love having you and those vivo’s in the studio. It’s so wonderful when we can help someone build a positive relationship with exercise. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I joined the PT Studio half a year ago. As someone who is never a gym person, I really love the atmosphere every time I work out there. Location is supreme. Sessions in small group feels very inclusive and safe. I always get the support whenever I need from coaches who are so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Above all, seeing other powerful ladies deadlifting in good forms is so inspiring for me. There is no before-and-after photo in this review, but after half a year of tailored weight training program, I start to develop decent core muscle (never happen before?!), stronger ankles, firmer finger grips and even some upper-body muscle to keep me nicely on the wall of some more difficult routes the last time I bouldered. I think this is why I really love this studio- instead of worrying about "how I look" all the time, it is such a relief just to put that thought aside and just focus on how to develop more understanding and control of my body, and be able to do more cool things with it. I'd recommend PT Studio to anyone who would like to feel the same.
Xiaochu, this one a quote possibly the most wonderful review. The thought that’s gone into this is fantastic. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: Brilliant studio, it's friendly and inviting with lovely, knowledgeable trainers. Have learnt lots and feel so much stronger and fitter. Really look forward to my sessions, so glad I joined up. Highly recommend.
Jodie, we’re so glad you joined too and that you’re learning lots. It’s so important to understand how and why we work. See you in the studio soon, Ajaye
Fantastic experience: It's the first time that I ever felt stronger and powerful without the need of compromise on my lower back pain! I feel that the trainers are really there for you and to help you succeed!
Joao, thanks for this lovely review.it’s great working with you and seeing your back improve so much. Alexa
Fantastic experience: I've attended some of their yoga events and I just love them. The team is very welcoming and aprocheable, problem solving and spread good vibes all around. Food, venues and atmosphere are always fantastic. The yoga instructors are delightful, not only as individuals but as professionals. They make you feel that the practice is yours, adapting all the posistions to various levels. I highly recomend it!
Marta, thanks for this review. Hope we can tempt you back soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: Attended Fit Farm Festival by Project PT last weekend - brilliantly organised and a great day out. A great company with great people doing great things.
James, what a lovely review. The festival was brilliant and we can’t wait for next year! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I've have a fantastic time learning to lift at this studio! Super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Feel confident with my dead-lift, bench-press, shoulder-press, etc. Definitely glad I took the lessons, as I feel I'm much less likely to get injured now, and will make better progress overall.
Ryan, we’d love to hear how your lifts are going. It was great having the time to work with you before you left! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: There’s a long way to go, but I am much fitter - and stronger - than I was. And, to my surprise (as someone who is not a natural in a gym), I have had fun, and gained in confidence too!
Hi Gillian, thank you so much for this review. I look forward to many more 7am sessions! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I attended a Saturday yoga and brunch session that had relocated at short notice to Tap Social. The venue, yoga sessions and brunch were all excellent and I was made to feel very welcome. I would highly recommend.
Hi Felicity, it was lovely to meet you and thank you so much for this review. Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I attended The Project PT’s half day yoga retreat. Ajaye and the team created a welcoming environment, with a beautifully organised half day of inspiring and relaxing yoga (with Hatha Hannah) and tasty healthy snacks, all in pretty, natural settings. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, and was able to really unwind, which was much needed, and greatly appreciated.
David, thank you for writing this. I hope we can see you at another yoga and brunch again soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: A beautiful and peaceful setting for a lovely yoga retreat. Lovely people and special thanks to Hannah for her expert guidance. Tasty snacks, a real treat for the body and soul ! Thank you
Thank you for this lovely review, I wish we knew who was behind it.
Fantastic experience: I have attended 2 different yoga events organised by The Project PT. They are great fun, good to meet new people and outdoors! Hannah is such a lovely yoga instructor too. All food is healthy vegetarian or vegan served in compostable containers.
Maria, we hope you are well and really look forward to seeing you at another event soon! Ajaye
Fantastic experience: I attended the Yoga & Brunch event at Florence Park in April. It was brilliant, would definitely go again and highly recommend.
Thank you for this Natasha!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and really knowledgeable team. I've really enjoyed training here and look forward to keep on coming back. I would highly recommend the Project PT if you are looking for a great place to train. The team listened to what I wanted to achieve and they've made a programme specifically for me to achieve the goals I've set out and have by far excelled past previous personal trainers I have worked with. Again I highly recommend them!
Shaun, what an awesome review. I still have the video on my phone if you realising you can sit cross legged again! Thank you, Ajaye
Fantastic experience: Shout out to Ajaye and her fabulous team. Great work. Some things are better experienced than 'heard about'. You are all amazing! Josh @ Oxford United in the Community
Josh, thank you so much for this lovely review. We're really excited to learn more about the Divert program and see how it can inspire our own Intervention programs with youths. We're sure you are going to teach us a lot!
Fantastic experience: I've been so impressed with The Project PT since I became a member. They have given plenty of time to setting up my exercise programme so it works for me, and I have felt very well looked after as they take the time to explain everything and are lovely people. The Movement Studio is really conveniently located and I can't wait to get back there after lockdown!
Hi Jake, thank you so much for such a lovely review! What a fantastic thing to wake up to on a Friday. We're really excited to work with you and see that bench press increase.
Fantastic experience: I started thinking about personal training a few years ago after I realised that my disability in combination with my busy lifestyle as an academic and activist was not going to bring about a healthy synergy in what felt like a mind-body-soul lacking much balance, I needed a long-term plan, but also someone who wasn't afraid to work with a different body and a disability history, and I needed ...motivation. Confession: I was one of those who thought PT was for elites and self-centered folks. Meeting Alexa - I was still very reluctant and a bit cynical - changed this attitude fundamentally. It is not only experience and a committed approach as my PT, also the curiosity and willingness to think outside the box that marks Alexa and soon The Project with Ajaye and David as one of my online coaches. I can say it made me realise that self-care is a radical approach, not only for the individual self but also collectively, to one's community. What is the point if we don't live healthy and train so our bodies can endure some of the unwelcome impacts of a hectic life as an organiser, sometimes insane teaching schedule, or stressful capitalist race to success or careers? What better than be able to improve and even enjoy our mobility and relative independence? And what is the social value if we can't even invest in ourselves so as to be giving to our communities the input and struggles we care so much about in a more lasting manner? We are conditioned to think short-term and to feel that spending time and money on our selves is self-indulgence. And even if so, don't we actually want to enjoy it? The Project in and off itself - the way they invest and give back to the community and the way they make their individual members invest in themselves - has shown me so through its own commitment, humanity, humour and well yes, no point in denying, a little bit of torture and sacrifice. But I mean the fun and sweaty version of sacrifice, you know: the exhausting kind that makes you feel so much more energetic and good afterwards. They have a kind of Che Guevara approach 'be realistic-demand the impossible'. Hell yeah!
Miriyam, what a fantastic review. It's been great working with you over the last 2 years(is it 2?), wow! I'm so glad we met in the gym and we love having you in the studio and watching your progress.
Fantastic experience: Very empowering PT and group sessions both in person and online. Hard work and knowledge meet community spirit and lightheartedness. I am particularly impressed with how effective the online sessions are: the small-number boutique classes mean that the trainers keep a very close eye on our technique and have the chance to guide us better.
Eleni, thank you so much for such a lovely review. We're so glad you enjoy the small scale boutique classes. Correct movement is everything for us, whilst making it fun! As part of our Review for a Tree we will plant a tree for you in June and send you a picture. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: I joined as a member of the Movement studio last year and immediately started noticing a difference in terms of my strength and posture as well as toning parts of my body which, frankly, I was neglecting! I love the sweat classes for their intensity and the lift club for honing my technique and developing my strength. Both Ajaye and Alexa are brilliant: really positive, motivational people who get the absolute best out of you! Thank you guys!
Hi Suz, thank you so much for this review. It's been great having you in the studio and seeing your progression. It's great still seeing your face in our online classes, but you're right we can't wait to get back in the studio. As part of our Review for a Tree we will plant a tree for you in June and send you a picture of your tree.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and trusted people. The best thing is that you feel safe and supported and that the main aim is physical and mental well-being rather than muscles like ina regular gym. Definitely best PT studio in Oxford.
Hey!! We're so glad we've managed to build your trust and appreciate you noticing our ethos so clearly! Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: The best PTs in Oxford!! Professional, fun, inspiring and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
Hi Will, love this! Ajaye is really enjoying training you and it's great that we've fixed that knee. Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: I first attended one of their Yoga & Brunch events at the Tap social a year ago and was really impressed by their friendliness, the thoughtful details of the event, one of the best yoga instructors in Oxford and the delicious brunch that followed. Their online sessions during lockdown gave me something to look forward to throughout the various lockdowns this past year. As someone who is wary of exercise that isn't yoga (I've taken HIIT classes where my body spent the rest of week recovering from), I found their approach playful, non-judgemental and very holistic. It was refreshing after having so many virtual calls/classes/events where the norm was to turn your mics/cameras off to actually receiving feedback as I was doing the exercise and I was reassured that they were watching what I was doing and wanted me to use correct form. This also translates into the Pain and Posture course I'm taking now with David where he is giving me new tools to help me combat the long hours I spend at a desk. I really appreciate this and I look forward to the day when I can train with them in person. Their business philosophy is ethical, sustainable, and intentional and it doesn't hurt that they share my love of good coffee and good food! Alexa and Ajaye care about their clients and this shows in their regular communication with them whether it be a timely email after new government restrictions or their social media posts that are filled with humour and a range of tips for healthy living. It is very hard to create community when you are doing it virtually but they make you feel like you belong. When they give an enthusiastic 'Let's go team!' at the beginning of a strength and conditioning session; you want to give your best because they're giving theirs. This is amazing and I feel very lucky to support such a wonderful organization.
Josie, wow this review is so incredibly kind and thought out. We're so glad you came along to a Yoga and Brunch all that time back. You really have nailed everything we are trying to do and we're so happy it has translated for you. You're right we do work with some of the best coaches in town, we're so lucky to have David and Hannah with with us. But we are also so lucky to have met some amazing members who make every session, event or course so enjoyable! Thank you and we can't wait to have you in the studio soon! Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: This is the most wonderfully helpful exercise studio where individual attention is a priority. Exercise is fun rather than a chore and everyone is so friendly and caring. How amazing to have people actually making sure that you are doing the exercises correctly. It’s all about quality not quantity and that makes such a difference.
Hi Claire, thank you so much for this lovely review. This is exactly what we wanted to create when we started the Movement Studio, we are so glad you felt so welcomed and looked after. We can't wait to have us all back in there. Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: I took the online Pain and Posture course at The Project PT & Movement Studio. The instructor, David, is very knowledgeable, our introduction session was mind-blowing about my posture, he made me notice things I need to address. The course is well structured and each session focuses on one particular area of the back. After each session David sends out the exercises you need to carry out until the next session. For example the first session was focused on the hips movements and the exercises proved to be very useful for my situation. If you suffer from back pain and want to build awareness of your body this is the perfect course!
Hi Alexia, we're so glad you are learning loads from the Pain & Posture course. David is a fantastic Personal Trainer in Oxford. We are lucky to work with him. We hope to have you in the studio soon. Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: The Project PT are great at motivating you and tailoring exercises to suit all abilities. They are a really helpful and friendly team who make excerise fun and achievable. I would highly recommend working with them.

Fantastic experience: Training with the project pt has been so eye opening... it's totally transformed the way I feel about exercise and health. I now really look forward to training and I always feel so much better for moving my body and being outside! Project pt's take on training is so refreshing, Ajaye and Alexa are kind, friendly and welcoming and I immediately felt at ease in their online sessions and now in 1:1 pt sessions. The sessions are so much fun. I really love their focus on community and their work as a social enterprise is fantastic. In short.... I cannot recommend them highly enough, they are wonderful!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Alexa since August 2018. It's the best fitness decision I have made. She makes training fun, varied and I always feel better for it. The Project PT events are well run and very good value for money. All the instructors at The Movement Studio are knowledgeable in different areas of movement and the small class size really makes it perdonl. I really hope we can get back in the studio soon!!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Movement Studio in November 2020 and had a fantastic experience there, I am also having personal training sessions where I have seen progress on my fitness goals as well as having a lot of fun! I would highly recommend Alexa and Ajaye and the other trainers.

Fantastic experience: Have been doing this course for 3 week. I enjoy the stretching and movement, it really reveals your ' bad posture habits'. It is based on scientific studies, David is very knowledgeable.
Hi Peter, we're so glad you are enjoying the Pain & Posture course with David! Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our Leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: I've been training with The Project PT for a few months and I couldn't reccommend them highly enough! I was able to continue training from home during lockdown feeling safe and active. All trainers are extremely knowledgeble and helpful, and they are very good at making each traing session accessible to all participants so that every individual can find the right type of excericse and challenge. Sessions are not only well organised and energising, but they are also a lot of fun!
Hi Sara, we're glad you've enjoyed the classes and Pain & Posture course. It's great to train someone in Italy! Thank you for this lovely review and for taking part in our Leave a review and we'll plant a tree initiative! We will send you a photo of your tree once planted in June!
Fantastic experience: One of the best small businesses in Oxford. Those guys will give you all the attention you need to get you to all your fitness goals.
Hi Karolina, thank you so much for this lovely review. We hope you continue to enjoy the Pain & Posture course with David and look forward to having you in our studio soon!
Fantastic experience: I loved the "yoga & brunch" event. Amazing and professional yoga teachers who created a friendly environment. :) The food was healthy and, more importantly, extremely delicious! Highly recommended!
Thank you Klaudia - we hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: I have been training with The ProjectPT for a while now and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! I thoroughly enjoy every session and I have definitely seen and felt a massive improvement in my strength and mobility. The classes I attend at the Movement Studio feel like a one to one and both Ajaye and Alexa have an incredible attention to detail as each session is tailored to the individual. They have always been there for me with whatever question or concern I’ve had and I’ve even adopted some beneficial tips that I use in my everyday life. There is always great music playing in the studio and a positive, friendly and supporting atmosphere in the room. Joining the Movement Studio was definitely the best decision I’ve made!
Always a pleasure training you Caity - you always bring 100% effort and fun! see you soon
Fantastic experience: I went to the Yoga & Brunch event by Project PT because a friend recommended it. Loved it! very welcoming atmosphere, friendly instructors, and the whole concept of yearly morning yoga and then a healthy brunch is just so invigorating. I will definitely come again.
We're so glad you enjoyed the yoga and brunch and fingers crossed we'll see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: It was a lovely yoga session in an airy space , nice company and then breakfast around large well spaced tables.
Hi Carole-ann we're glad you had a great time at this event - see you at another event soon
Fantastic experience: I floated away from the yoga and brunch session yesterday, safe in the knowledge I had spent Saturday morning very wisely. Fantastic yoga session, delicious and nutritious brunch and a welcoming and warming atmosphere. Thanks Project PT for curating such a brilliant event. I’ll be back.
Hello Harriet, thank you for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the session and food and appreciated floating away !!
Fantastic experience: I have been to a range of Ajaye and Alexa's workshops and classes. They are amazing. Really knowledgeable and inclusive. The workshops are fun and have a real community feel. There Zoom classes over lockdown were invaluable to me too. Highly recommended!
Thank you Becks - always a pleasure to have you and your leggings at our events and online sessions!
Fantastic experience: At almost 70 I never thought that I would get to love exercise but the ProjectPT has turned a chore into an exhilarating challenge. My initial aim was to keep mobile following an accident and during lockdown but Ajaye’s knowledge, experience and clear explanations of what I’m doing with my body, and why it’s important, have made our personal training sessions on Zoom a pleasure and great fun. I can feel changes in my muscle tone and in my movement in only a few months and I’m keen to do more. Loving it.
Thank you Karen, so happy to see you improving and gaining strength, confidence and movement!
