Fonseca Fitness

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have been to! The coaches are really knowledgable, and you are encouraged to improve your strength and stamina, while being supported. The equipment is up to date, and there are a variety of classes to try, as well as open gym.

Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t recommend this gym enough. It’s such a lovely women-only space with the best vibes – everyone is so friendly and supportive. There’s a real sense of community, and it makes working out something I actually look forward to. I’ve seen such amazing results since joining, both physically and mentally. If you’re thinking about it, just do it – you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Love the gym, love the girls, love the support everyone in there gives you including other gym users such a nice environment & very welcoming. Highly recommend the gym I tell all my lovely clients about it

Fantastic experience: The absolute BEST community of gym goers and coaches you could ask for. Iv been attending Fonseca Fitness since 2022. I was able to train throughout my pregnancy in the classes including pregnancy course. After my baby was born in the post natal classes and then supported into integrating to Mum and baby classes to now be involved in a Formula programme which is perfectly tailored to my needs!!! Iv seen incredible weight loss, confidence, muscle growth and a change in my overall belief in myself. Made some incredible friends and have even had 2/3 friends join and love it as much as me!!

Fantastic experience: I love how this gym is more like a community compared to other gyms I have been to. Everyone is so kind and very easy to approach to ask questions . I have learnt so much about exercise and about our bodies as women with hormones and how it can effect use in exercise and how we feel . I’ve also made so new friends to.

Fantastic experience: I Trialed a few commercial gyms before I managed to find Fonseca in basingstoke, and I wished I had found it way sooner! Great gym with all the equipment you could possibly need, lots of space, classes and open gym sessions. The community is great and everyone is so friendly regardless whether youve just met them or not! Absolutely no reason to get that gym intimidated feeling here and its a delight. The coaches are all amazing, and all bring their own quirks and skills to the sessions, with added activities/competitions and clubs to join! For any female looking for a gym to feel comfortable in and improve fitness and strength id highly reccomend!

Fantastic experience: Ive been training for over a year now and love my 9.30am classes, so much so after some additional pre arranged walks, I climbed to the summit of Snowdon, with some of the ladies from the gym, it was hard but enormously satisfying, the climb down had its moments too but we made it, I made it and will continue to train regularly so I can do more exciting adventures. Love my time at this gym.

Fantastic experience: This has been my wellness safe haven for the last two and a half years (if not more - time flies when you look after your health!) I love the atmosphere, the support, positivity and variety of classes and activities you can do with the community! I have never felt anywhere else like I did at Fonseca Fitness and always recommend it to any woman looking to feel safe and empowered to become the best version of herself at her own pace!

Fantastic experience: Great inclusive and safe environment for all women to enjoy fitness…

Fantastic experience: The best female gym in Basingstoke with a great selection of classes for any stage of life, pregnancy and postnatal included. They also have a class for mums where they can bring little ones along (and they provide toys!) which is fantastic. I also love the morning and evening classes, great for before/after work. The coaches are super helpful and motivating - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: wonderful, friendly female gym lots of support and a real community feel x x

Fantastic experience: Since having a baby I was worried I’d find it really hard to get back into my pre-pregnancy workout routine or back into any kind of fitness. I had been told about Fonseca by a friend but happened to see an adivert about post natal classes on Instagram and decided to try them - I’ve not looked back! I love the option of the pelvic floor class to start you back and then the mum and baby classes, allowing you to come and train with your little one. It’s such a safe space, with no pressure or judgement which has been amazing for me. I’ve now joined the full membership, because I want to take full advantage of everything they have to offer! The community is great and I can’t wait to become fully involved and meet all the other amazing ladies and instructors ☺️

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Such a great gym for women who want to comfortably work out with support and a sense of community and belonging. I'm not new to working out or gyms but have learned so much from the staff here.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving my mum and baby classes, amazing team who truly do care about your wellbeing. Made to feel very welcome and my little boy loves playing with all the other babies, toys and equipment. Easy to find with lots of parking.

Fantastic experience: One of my best discoveries, all the ladies and coaches are really helpful, friendly and make the atmosphere so comfortable, the classes are so high energy and just all round fun aswell as very educational!!! Big thanks to Millie who has been so patient with me every class!!!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym for women, run by incredible women. This gym really changed the fitness game for me. Equipment is great, class sizes are kept small and it feels personal and never overcrowded.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been feeling so much better since joining Fonseca Fitness, which was recommended by a friend. I started with a trial class, then a block of classes before deciding to commit, and I really appreciated the no-pressure approach—unlike other gyms. The environment is incredibly supportive, and the trainers are always happy to help. There’s a great variety of classes, and you can work at your own pace and ability. Highly recommend!

It’s more than just a gym it’s a community. I couldn’t have progressed the way I have without the devoted attention and support of all the coaches but also the immense support of all the ladies too.

Fantastic experience: All the love, knowledge, experience and passion Farah (owner) has for women's fitness and nutrition shines through Fonseca Fitness. It's a friendly, supportive and non intimating female only gym offering everything from nutrition to personal training, self defence to yoga, mum and baby classes to pole fitness, small group coaching to strong women training, teen classes to over 50s classes, calisthenics to post natal rehab.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with equipment for strength training and a range of different classes. Trainers are fantastic, so encouraging and really knowledgeable. They get to know everyone individually and it is gym that has grown into a wonderful community of women supporting one another that you would not find anywhere else. Best place I've ever been too that has helped keep my motivation high and kept me consistently going for years.

Fantastic experience: Great gym & great community. It has all the equipment you need in a gym, clean, and never too busy. The atmosphere is great, the classes are challenging and fun. The coaches are so knowledgable and supportive, it’s a really safe and positive space to train. The perfect place for women to train, try new exercises, and hit new goals. The coaches really care about you and it makes a work of difference. The best gym in the area!

Fantastic experience: This isn't just a gym, it's a community. I've been a member since it opened and I've never met anyone that's not friendly and welcoming. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and helpful and there is something for everyone, no matter what your goals. My confidence has grown so much since I've joined and I've made such good friends I'm also the fittest and strongest I've probably ever been.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend this gym and its trainers enough! I have never felt comfortable in a gym environment until I found fonseca fitness! I have gained so much knowledge and confidence, seeing what my body is capable of has been the most eye opening thing I think for me. Farah has created a safe space for woman to train, a strong all female community that I am so happy to be apart of a place where even childcare is not a barrier to your training as you can attend mum and baby classes and they even have postnatal/core strengthening classes! If your thinking of joining do it you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of from fonseca fitness for almost 2 years now, and It’s had one of the biggest and best influences on my life, not only has it made me stronger physically but also mentally. You don’t just join a gym here you join community, a family, everyone here supports and encourages everyone in what they want to achieve, whether that’s in gym goals or outside of gym goals. It’s a gym like no other. The coaches, the people are all so welcoming, helpful and supportive. I couldn’t ask for a better gym

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! I’ve been to many gyms in the area and they tend to feel really cookie cutter and always full, or too niche and the clients can be a bit rude. The nice thing about Fonseca Fitness is everyone- the coaches and the ladies in the gym- want you to succeed. Everyone cheers for you and is just so supportive which makes the atomosphere second to none. It’s also nice that when I’ve had feedback, I’ve felt heard and like a valued member of the space. Additionally the gym itself has great classes and equipment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is THE best gym and female community. I have been to other gyms before but when I walked in for the first time I felt safe, calm and eager. The best thing is the dynamic…the women and coaches are always there to cheer you on and help you realise you can do this!! All women should know about this place!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so friendly and helpful, you never feel judged. The coaches are very supportive and really push you in class. I’ve been a member for a few years and have never regretted it! I’m always thankful for the support I have had!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Fonseca Fitness enough. I signed up to the 10 week body positivity course at the beginning of April and I am beyond amazed at my results. I needed something a little different to the usual ‘get your summer body’ approach. Farah and Rachel worked on mindset with us and this approach has got me the most amazing results. The gym itself is so welcoming, there is a no judgment at all and the classes fit everyone’s ability. I also do a weekly PT session with Farah and I look forward to them every week. Thank you so much for creating a safe space for women of all shapes and sizes.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing facial with Lauren. She is so knowledgable and was able to recommend products to help my skin concerns and I'm already seeing a difference just 2 weeks later. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym for women in and around Basingstoke. Holistic approach to health promoting positive body image, good relationship with food and empowering women with strength and overall fitness. It isn't a gym, it is a community. There are many types of sessions - open gym, P.T, mum and baby, burn, power, strong woman training, calesthenics, yoga, boxing, etc. Everyone at the gym - trainers and members are so kind, open and make you feel comfortable. Try a class and see for yourself. You will love it!

Fantastic experience: Just what Basingstoke needs! Love the ethos of this company, Farah the owner is so personable and knowledgeable - not only is this a place for women to train, but they focus so highly on helping women to feel confident in their bodies, assured in their abilities and part of a really lovely community. The monthly memberships are great value for money because the environment actually makes you want to turn up and train. Love it!

Fantastic experience: If Carlsberg did gyms!!!!
