Fantastic experience: More than a gym. Joined 8 months ago, couldn’t do a burpee and lost motivation at other gyms. Awesome coaches, great training programs, what fab a community. You will use all of your muscle groups and learn a lot along the way. No pressure to do crazy heavy weights if you’re not feeling it that day, they look after you and how your body is feeling. Couldn’t rate it highly enough! Cheers gang

Gareth Morgan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Was low on confidence and needed a place to train that not only was a gym but a community, TTY has been a real game changer for me and has really helped me be comfortable in the surroundings of a functional gym but also every member makes you feel welcomed and help you strive towards your own journey. Highly recommend and by offering a 2 session free trial you can’t go wrong. Gaz

Victoria Ritchie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. I have always worked out at home as hate the traditional gym. I found the training yard by mistake and haven’t looked back. I was looking for more structure in my fitness but also to venture out and meet like minded people. Well I have found exactly that. The classes are awesome, the trainers are fab and so knowledgable and approachable. I like the class sizes and the instruction and guidance you receive. They are flexible and adapt nearly every session for me due to silly injuries. My strength and fitness has improved so much due to the programming but I have also met some amazing people as the gym is really friendly and welcoming with a lovely community vibe and social side of you are interested. Been there 2 years now and it’s getting better and better.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very friendly, knowledgeable and super accommodating especially being a child friendly gym- making it a lot more accessible for mothers. The only place I’ve found in Exeter who allow your little ones to tag along! (Thanks team) TTY are very supportive in every aspect. A great variety of classes, the best gym I’ve ever been to hands down, I couldn’t recommend TTY enough. Not only are the coaches the best but the members are warm and welcoming too.

Beccy Nuthall 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Love it

Rachel Iles 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I always disliked the gym and what it conjured up in my mind, however after having some physio many years ago with the TTY team, seeing the improvements in my physical and mental health was a real revelation for me and my thoughts about going to the gym. The team have always encouraged me, adapted exercises to suit and slowly I have been converted into a regular attendee, benefitting from not only being stronger but also loving the camaraderie and community spirit amongst everyone there. So love it!

Steve Coomber 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Am in my late 50s I started the training yard last October Totally fit for nothing‍♀️ What a difference four months has made in my general health Blood pressure down Weight down Classes of all types of fitness levels Greeted with a smile instructor lead Great bunch of class mates Not a single mirror in gym Perfect Community feel and everyone as important as the next . Just a fun place to be Especially if you suffer from injury they provide additional support and consultation I’ve found this invaluable past few weeks I’ve even been rebranded as The Captain Would recommend to anyone who’s feeling unfit or slightly uncomfortable within themselves to take a few lessons and see the benefits

Luci Pring 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love coming to the training yard. It doesn’t matter if, it’s just you in a class or 10 you are met with a warm smile and positivity to motivate you. The coaches are very knowledgable, and during the classes they are alway on hand to correct you, if you aren’t quite getting that particular exercise right. Daisy and jack have an amazing team ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Peter Dewhirst 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Over my 50+ years of running I have tried many gyms all over the world and I can confidently say this is the best by miles. The guys at the gym make you feel like an individual and have always got time for you (as an individual). They explain things and don't just get you to do stuff that you don't understand why you are doing it. They are always keeping an eye on you so even if you are not part of a class or a PT session and you either need a bit of help or are doing it not quite right they will come over and help you. This place is fun to be at, it is a community not just a gym.

Lindsey Kinver 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to train. Very friendly and open to all. Coaches are so knowledgeable and friendly. Also been using the physio services to help work on my ongoing knee pain (which is getting better!) Plus, being able to work out outside when its sunny is a massive bonus!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with a real community feel to it. No matter what your age, level of fitness, ability, Daisy and her fantastic experienced team are there to provide you with great informative sessions.

Fantastic experience: Daisy changed my life and the way I train. After breaking 6 vertebrae in my spine, I was generally always left with pain and aches after sessions. After a few sessions Daisy got to the bottom of my issues and now I’m never in pain left with tightness. Would recommend to anyone! Amazing business run my legends!

Fantastic experience: Fitted my daughter in super fast for a physio appointment after injury, saw Jeff who was really thorough and fully explained what he was doing and why - we left with a full picture of what was wrong, detailed exercises to correct both issues, and frequency. First class service and really reasonable - thank you
