Jo Hibberd 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Steve is an exceptional trainer. I attend a strength class regularly, it is absolutely brilliant. Really well thought out, great music everything is spotless. But most of all Steve absolutely knows what he is doing. I can’t recommend him enough. I am not a lover of going to a gym, but I absolutely love Steve’s classes. DO IT!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly group of gym users. The classes are very varied & change every 4 weeks , so you are never bored. Great Tutor in Steve Mac , who has tailored the exercises to suit my needs - double knee replacement 2 years ago. Great spirit , lead by a great leader - funny & fun - actually look forward to attending classes - can't say that for anywhere else I have tried out in the last 30 years!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes at Summit now for nearly a year and I wish I had found it much sooner! Steve is a fab coach and the classes he offers are great. I previously used to go to a gym and wouldn’t really know what weights to lift and what to do but Steve has taught me so much and I feel confident now! I have noticed how much fit and stronger I have become to! I would highly recommend Summit to anyone as it was the best thing I ever done joining ☺️

Fantastic experience: I was very much stuck in my comfort zone at another gym, made the switch to summit and it blew my mind. The equipment and facilities are top notch, Steve is a superb coach who cares about techniques and getting it right. The best decision I have made is to switch to Summit. 5 stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to summit for a little while now and I can honestly say it’s the best around. The atmosphere of the group is amazing. We all work up a good sweat but always leave with a smile. Steve is always willing to help and support us, and give guidance where needed. He has a lot of knowledge and is always up for having a good laugh. Thanks Steve

Beverley Stedford 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Steve for over 2 years, 3 times a week. His expert coaching, knowledge and encouragement have made me stronger and fitter than I've ever been. His classes are varied and challenging but doable for all fitness levels as he gives adaptations based on ability ensuring progress without injury. The atmosphere in class is always great. He has created a unique 'fit fam' where everyone is welcome.

Yvette Casey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was encouraged to join Summit just over a year ago. I can now confidently say that doing so has transformed my life for the better and helped me to progress out of a difficult time in my life. So far, I've lost 1.5 stone of weight, improved my strength and most importantly significantly reduced the aches and pains that I used to experience and my energy levels and personal confidence have increased. The added bonus of going to Summit, is the fun atmosphere and friends that are made. Everyone's so welcoming and encouraging, there's a great mixture of abilities and characters, and absolutely zero judgement. Steve is highly encouraging, takes the time to understand you and any limitations that you may have and ensures that you're always getting the best out of his sessions everytime

Alison Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a group fitness trainer and a Personal Trainer Steve is quite simply the best! He's created an inclusive and welcoming community at Summit - whether you are new to training, have specific performance goals or wish to push yourself to the limit there is a friendly welcome and sessions are always fun. His attention to detail means that everything is done with due care and attention to enable optimal results without risk of injury. His focus on form and function alongside strength and fitness is really different to many gyms I've attended before, particularly in group/class settings. Poor form is supportively corrected and with his careful support I've now learned how to do the most basic of functional movements correctly. He has a wealth of knowledge which, combined enthusiasm and good humour, has kept me coming back for years.

HANNAH ALFORD 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Spotless gym with a top-quality trainer! Whatever your level, Steve will make you better with a keen eye coupled with a polite and gentle (but firm) approach. He’s a good listener too!

Lucy Wakefield 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Steve gives me the motivation I need, helping me to reach my own potential, and the carefully designed group sessions are always technically spot on. Thanks to Steve I now have more energy and am visibly stronger and fitter - I might be a ‘woman of a certain age’ but I don’t feel that way any more!

Emma Champion 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Steve for a few years now and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to work on their fitness goals. Whether you're just starting out, or wanting to improve for a particular purpose such as a sport, his knowledge about training and anatomy is unmatched from my experience. The classes are always incredibly welcoming, there is no clickyness that you get at some gyms, so you don't feel self conscious. As someone who used to be very shy about working out and didn't feel confident, training at Summit has helped boost my confidence, and my fitness no end!

Fantastic experience: Quite simply it’s the best gym I have ever been to. I say gym it’s a genuine supportive community where all are welcome, no one is judged and everyone acts like your own personal “ hype” buddy. I have made friends for life there. Steve McMahon’s huge experience and skills shine through with empathy, professionalism and humour. Whether a high performer wanting more or a first timer wanting to start, you won’t find a better gym to join.
