Hitsona Shrewsbury

Fantastic experience: I am a woman, 67 years young! I joined Hitsona Shrewsbury just after the first Covid lockdown. At the time my mental health was not at its best and my fitness levels left a lot to be desired. Initially I attended only two sessions per week I but soon became ‘addicted’ to the extent that I am now putting in a minimum of five sessions. These sessions are only 25 minutes long and are all coach-led on the exclusive Hitsona exercise machines. Class sizes do not exceed 10 members so there is a homely, friendly atmosphere and egos are buried in communal support. The gym itself is a poser-free zone as evidenced by the total absence of mirrors. Members come to improve their physical and mental well-being rather than display what they feel they have already achieved. The Hitsona family cannot help but improve your self-esteem and self-image as, certainly in my own case, the benefits are wide-ranging. There is a more relaxed aspect too, with monthly walks and socials. If you’re wondering about trying it why not give it a go? You may surprise yourself (like I did!)

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I have made! I was struggling with my weight and fitness so I was looking for a gym in my local area when I stumbled across Hitsona. They offer 25 minutes instructor led sessions which are fun and engaging and you wear a heart rate monitor to track your progress throughout the session. It's technically not a gym. I have joined gyms before where you don't speak to anyone and where you are relying on willpower alone. The people are very welcoming and Hitsona makes me feel much more motivated. I have lost weight and have definitely seen some improvements in my fitness.

Fantastic experience: I joined Hitsona on Monday had my first second Tuesday. I really enjoyed the session everyone made me feel very welcome and tania was very supportive showing me how to do the moves correctly. I am looking forward to my next session this is a fun and friendly way of working out and get fit and healthy

Fantastic experience: I have joined various gyms, exercise classes over the years and whilst I have initial enthusiasm I quickly start to find it a chore until now. For me the Hitsona 25 min sessions fit perfectly with my lifestyle I know I can go and work hard for 25 mins and before I know it I'm done I skip out with that feel good factor. From day 1 everyone has been so welcoming, supportive and friendly plus there are social events, walks etc to enjoy. Tania and the team of coaches are great. For someone who's job role is to encourage exercise I know how hard that motivation to do something can be. For me this just works and i am feeling much fitter and healthier for it Andrea x

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym for all who want to get fit and don’t want to go to a gym!! It has small classes, a fantastic concept with really lovely informative coaches. It’s not intimidating at all everyone is friendly, encouraging all ages all shapes and sizes. Give it a go you’ll love it!

Fantastic experience: A gym that I'm actually sticking with. Fun, supportive trainers and members and we always have a good laugh. Lots of social events too! 100% recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Hitsona is just as welcoming and friendly as it advertises itself to be. The coaches and members are fantastic and there's no ego to be seen. The workouts are short, sharp, effective and great fun! The machines are simple to use and you get back what you put in. Various packages are available which are explained to you before you commit to anything, and the cost is very reasonable. Its suitable for anyone from coach potato to very active and you will be helped by coaches & members alike. I highly recommend joining. I've never wanted to join a conventional gym but after just one week Hitsona has me hooked! It's already helping to boost my fitness and mental health. I only wish I'd found them sooner.

Fantastic experience: No judgement, no mirrors just 25 minutes of fun and hard work with endless support and encouragement. Such an inclusive and welcoming community. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I found Tania brilliant. Great session, I have been to many gyms over the years and here was by far the most welcoming. After a break of a few years I was a little anxious, I needn’t have been. Great place, alas they can’t stop those first post workout aches.

Fantastic experience: Much better than I have experienced anywhere else. Hitsona sessions are compact, well led, and very easily modified for individual needs. I have completed just six sessions now, and the results are already very evident. The numbers don't lie, but mainly I notice my posture has changed for the better. Age and fitness level don't matter here - just book a few sessions and the atmosphere will draw you in.

Fantastic experience: Enjoy it very much

Fantastic experience: At 64 years of age, I've finally found exercise that I actually look forward to doing and feel motivated enough to keep coming back thanks to Tania and her team. 25 minutes of full on exercise with supportive coaches and peers in a relaxed, non-threatening environment. Every session is different. We work hard but there is no pressure or competition. It really is fun and time flies by. I've never been one for exercise or pushing myself but I love this! Think I've found my thing. Thanks people.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that's convenient, supportive, friendly and fun Hitsona is for you. Whether you are just starting out on your fitness journey or as an addition to your fitness regime this is a perfect place for it.

Fantastic experience: I have had a few issues with my back and a trapped nerve which stopped me exercising for quite a while so I was looking to get back into exercise. I wanted something that would work and strengthen my body without being too strenuous on it. I also wanted something that I could do without too much time constraint and that was fun to do! I joined Hitzona in July and I can already feel a difference in my body and I am slowly having less bad days with my back. The sessions are fun with music (which helps keep you going, especially a bit of cheesy music) the people are friendly and the coaches are supportive and helpful. The classes only take 25 minutes so its easy to fit into your day and you feel good once you have finished even though its a quick full on work out. My husband has told me he feels like I'm more like the "old me" because I seem happier and a bit more confident. Give it a go!!

Fantastic experience: Inspirational, motivational, knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate, the crew at Hitsona Shrewsbury Tick All the boxes and then some... Proud to be a part of this Team

Fantastic experience: Fun 25 minute sessions to improve your health and fitness levels. A nice community feel with supportive coaches.

Fantastic experience: Three weeks in and I’m really feeling the difference, Tania and the team are amazing and true to their word there are no egos everyone has been extremely welcoming. The sessions are tough but fun and the camaraderie is first class.

Fantastic experience: An excellent fitness environment with motivating, engaging coaches and a strong atmosphere of productivity and camaraderie. The first time I have ever looked forward to fitness sessions, despite them being hard work. Short, sharp, fun, with visible & tangible results, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Joining this HIIT gym has been an absolute game-changer—once I survived the most stressful part: finding a non-wired sports bra that doesn’t double as a medieval torture device. Spoiler alert: it took all week, but I found one, and it was worth it. The classes are 25 minutes of pure sweat and adrenaline, and trust me, you won’t even have time to think about the lack of mirrors. It’s all about pushing yourself, not obsessing over your reflection. Plus, no egos here—just a bunch of supportive people who are more interested in helping you crush it than in comparing biceps. The instructors? Absolute legends. They’re like personal cheerleaders who somehow know exactly when you need that extra push (or when you’re just pretending to tie your shoes to catch a breath). And the gym buddies? I didn’t realize how much I needed a group of strangers cheering me on until now. If you’re on the fence, just do it. You won’t regret joining—except maybe the hunt for the perfect sports bra. But once you’re in, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

Fantastic experience: Who joins a gym in December? Me! And so glad I did! Quick workout sessions (25 min) that really burn the calories. Very supportive environment. Small classes with maximum of 8 participants. Every session is unique; yes the exercises are the same but always lots of variety in the sessions.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, welcoming. Fun for body and for soul. (Expect to sweat.)

Fantastic experience: This is truly an amazing experience, Tania and her team of coaches are brilliant. Not one for the gym and after having a severe back decided to give it a good. I love my two sessions a week. It’s quick and I miss it when I can’t attend. The benefits are I feel fitter and it’s even more appealing that it is only 25 minutes. Thank you so much to you all x

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly, warm, supportive environment & community. It’s the only gym I’ve ever enjoyed and felt totally comfortable at. Highly recommend to anyone of any fitness level. Join & enjoy

Fantastic experience: Without sounding too cliche…..Hitsona has changed my life and many others too… I love the atmosphere and the fact that each session is 25 minutes long… it flies by!!! I was so unsure and a bit reluctant to join, as I thought it would be like circuit training. It isn’t. It just isn’t like anything else I’ve experienced…that’s because of the ‘magic machines’ which are body weighted, enabling you to work as hard as you would like to. Hitsona really is for everybody. Every session is different. More importantly….I can honestly say that every session is fun…..( I never thought I would say that about exercise!!) six years after I joined I still love it. For me, the social aspect is an unexpected bonus. I enjoy catching up with people who I would otherwise, never have met. It is more expensive than a conventional gym, but it offers so much more. You can get involved as much or as little as you want. Nutritional advice is always on hand and the support and encouragement from other team members and instructors is second to none. I would say that if you feel like you would like to get fit in an enjoyable way, come and give it a try. There’s no pressure….try a session, you’ll be welcomed with open arms whether you’re 18 or 80!!

Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! I find it hard to get motivated at regular gyms, but HITSONA is different. Small classes, 25 minute bursts, and a genuine feeling of accomplishment. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I can honestly say that I have not once thought “I can’t be bothered today”. Definitely worth a try!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. One and half years ago, I was just browsing through their website when hunting for a gym near me. I left an expression of interest after my hubby also recommended it. They seemed different from the usual workout places. A week later one of the coach’s Ollie, contacted me. As they say” The rest is history”. I have gone from zero exercise to a go getter. I love my exercises. My fitness has improved so much since the time I have been with them. I have become stronger and leaner. I can easily do treks like the Wrekin and Cader idris now. I could have never dreamt this possible before . Each session is so much fun. Members and coaches all know each other well. We have so many laughs in our sessions. I can never imagine going back to a conventional gym again. We go for socials and have many WhatsApp groups for accountability, tracking food etc . When one of us have a problem physical or emotional we look out for each other. Hitsona is a community in itself. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Found HitZone (Shrewsbury) on Facebook Oct 22, Phoned and visited Tania Bruce then signed up there n then. 25 minutes small friendly groups with a coach who shows & tells you what you're doing. Still going (2 months now), can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Love it!! Hard work but achieved fantastic results in only a short time. Fab community too.

Fantastic experience: Excellent HIIT sessions, amazing staff, and wonderful people! No mirrors, no egos, just 25 minutes of hard work!

Fantastic experience: We're not a gym, we're a family! No mirrors, no egos no intimidation, just 25minutes of HIIT workouts and thousands of laughs and infinite smiles.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, very creative. Personalised anything you want. Highly recommend. Thanks girls for all your help. X

Fantastic experience: I can't rate HITZone highly enough. It's the only exercise I've ever stuck to and the results speak for themselves: I am fitter and stronger than I ever hoped to be - and all from short and sweet 25 minute workouts! I love the small group sessions, no two are ever the same and the atmosphere is fantastic. The HITZone members are friendly, inspiring and of all ages and backgrounds (no gym bunnies here!) - it's like one big (fit) family! Simply love it. As Jason says, give it a go, you won't be disappointed!
