BFT Hackney: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I joined on a 21-day trial being completely honest.. with no intention of staying when I purchased it, as I just wanted a kick-start to get back into fitness after a long break, but within a few days of the trial, I joined. The reason was that I realised I was actually smiling & laughing throughout most of the workouts because of the social element, music & coaches… & most importantly - I was able to get a full intense workout without actually having to use my brain and think of what to do! I am someone who faffs around in the gym and therefore reverts to the same repetitive exercises (squats, rowing) because I don’t feel that confident, and the programming and rotation of exercises at BFT is so refreshing. You’d never catch me doing dips or trx assisted pistol squats at a gym. I have been doing all sorts of stuff I’d never have the knowledge / confidence to do prior, and I really like that sometimes you’re paired or grouped up with people because then it’s super social (you can also happily just get on with stuff if you’re not that chatty - no one is bothered). Also, one of my hesitations with joining group gyms before was the preconception everyone’s going to way fitter than me and really intimidating - so it was so cool to meet a range of people of all ages and walks of life. The main thing that I think keeps everyone coming back though is the instructors - they are really kind, friendly and non-judgemental (no ego!) and I instantly felt at home. The pointers they give in sessions are so valuable and honestly feels as personal as having a PT. They’re hot on injuries and give adaptations and always making sure you’re protecting your spine etc. I love the little knowledge nuggets & tips they throw in whilst you’re doing exercises. If you’re data-driven it’s soo motivating, and if you’re not bothered you can just rock up to a session knowing you’re guna get a great workout without having to think. So I’d say if you’re hesitant, just give it a go. I can’t see anyone not having fun.
Fantastic experience: My life change when i started going to BFT Hackney. I haven't had to plan my own programs anymore, everything is covered, cardio, power, strength, resistance, and training with a heart rate monitor has been a game changer, i was aways over doing it before and feeling exhausted making me take days out of training, At BFT i can train more, the structures allows for it and i'm not wrecked, i'm energised even though some of the workouts make me question my choices haha !! then we have the coaches, who are absolutely brilliant. I work in the industry as well and vouch for their skills, passion and care. They really love what they do and help us all with technique to keep us stronger and feeling good about what we are doing. They genuinely celebrate our little wins. Some days I show up and im not my best, my mental health has improved massively since going here which is the MAIN thing i am grateful for, but if im feeling a bit delicate, they see me and they hold the space for me perfectly. I've almost burst into tears a few times and the way they quietly spot it and support me is second to none. you just cant put a price on that. And lastly, the CREW that attend.... absolute legends, the lot of them. I hate missing classes coz i also miss the banter, the laughs and the fun we have, all while working HARD. You literally cant beat it, and i've been around the block!! There is no place in London like this. Milo, Jack, Dave, Kirby, Lucy and Papi, you all slay in a big way, thank you for making my days and weeks heaps better. If you are considering trying a bit of BFT, don't think twice, come and join us, be the best decision you ever make, promise. <3
Fantastic experience: One of best things to come out of East London! I joined BFT Hackney when they first opened, and over a year later, I’m still absolutely addicted. The workouts are always engaging, well-structured, and push you to be your best every session. What really sets this place apart is the community. The coaches are absolute legends—motivating, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s such a welcoming and positive environment that makes training something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a place to get strong, stay motivated, and be part of an awesome community, BFT Hackney is it.
Fantastic experience: Above all else, the trainers themselves are awesome. Supportive, always helpful and full of good energy ⚡️. The classes are varied, and the timetable changes, which keeps things interesting and keeps me motivated - something no other studio has managed to do so far! The booking system actually works and is as flexible as possible which supports a busy life . There are a few negatives, and for me it’s the overall cost per month. But… I’m still here a year later. Big thanks BFT crew.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, staff and gym goers. I was worried about group classes, but the fantastic environment reinvigorated my fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym i've been to - all down to the programming and the coaches ensuring it never gets boring; they are so knowledgeable and make sure you always work hard but have plenty of fun along the way. I genuinely look forward to going to the gym every day - all round 10s for BFT Hackney!
Fantastic experience: If you want to be fit and being part of an amazing community, this is the place to be ! The coaching team is amazing. They push you to your limits and make you discover muscles that you didn't even know existed in your body. You meet a lot of nice people and you cheer each other. This is just an amazing place to be!
Fantastic experience: This isn’t an ordinary gym, it’s a place where you feel welcomed, where bravado is left at the door and support and commitment is spread around in bucketfuls! The team make you feel immediately at home and the work outs are fun and varied and keep you feeling trim! I finally enjoy working out - T H A N K Y O U!
Fantastic experience: As a mum of an autistic child (also to two other older children lol), I can honestly say that this gym has been an absolute game changer for me. From the moment I walked in, I felt a genuine sense of care and inclusion. The staff didn’t just offer friendly smiles—they took the time to really listen to what I needed and gave a sense of family community. The workouts are fully structured, which means I don’t have to think. I just show up, follow the plan, and actually feel like I’ve done something for myself. The trainers know exactly how to push you without making you feel overwhelmed, and they adjust based on your energy level (which, let’s be real, is often running on fumes). The environment is clean, calm, and never overwhelming. There’s a lovely balance of energy and structure, I signed up to a two week trail and I am here still 9 months later (I THINK THAT SAYS IT ALL) It’s more than just fitness training—it’s 60 minutes where I’m not being asked for snacks or stepping on lego. It’s efficient, effective, and exactly what this tired mom needed. Thank you for helping me feel strong again, both physically and mentally and for giving me my absolute confidence back. Love you BFT X Claire xx
Fantastic experience: I have always been playing sports and this is my first proper experience of going to a gym / fitness classes.. I joined BFT about 18 months back and am extremely happy with the decision. The format is great, a good variety between cardio, weights, functional fitness. The Hackney BFT is nice with good facilities and equipment but the best part is the trainers. All of them are amazing and despite the class setup, you do get personal attention.. They are very good at correcting posture and form which was essential for someone like me who hasn't trained with weights previously.
Thank you for the amazing 5-star review, adhidev roy! We're thrilled to hear that you are extremely happy with your decision to join BFT and that you appreciate the format, variety of workouts, facilities, equipment, and most importantly, the amazing trainers who provide personal attention and guidance. We're glad to have you as part of our fitness community!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love BFT! The classes are a lot of fun, it’s a great community and the trainers are great! Would definitely recommend:)
Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with awesome coaches and just an overall lovely environment to work out in. Whether you're new to fitness or a pro their program of classes works for all.
Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym ever :)
Fantastic experience: The best in the business! BFT is the first time I’ve stuck to a programme and actually look forward to going to the gym. This is all down to the great mix of classes and the brilliant trainers. They are super knowledgable, welcoming, always making sure form is correct and energy high!
Fantastic experience: Frickin' wonderful! Just to encourage the older ones amongst us. I'm 66 and lifting heavier, managing chin-ups and my cardio is off the charts! The attention to detail and correct technique is phenomenal and goal changing. Friendly, addictive and enjoyable. If this is a marriage of increasing fitness and joy of movement, I enthusiastically say I DO! Chas
Fantastic experience: I first joined BFT in March while I was still recovering from a back injury, and was nervous about getting back into weights and cardio. The coaches made this transition easy as they took the time to focus on correcting my form / technique, helping prevent further injuries and rebuild my confidence. The coaches always go above and beyond, pushing you in every class, whilst making you laugh! The community is fabulous, and keeps you motivated to show up (I’m almost at my 100th class). Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Love training at BFT Hackney! The trainers are really friendly, supportive, and really know how to keep you motivated. Great energy every session and attention to detail
Fantastic experience: Having tried many gyms and training styles, BFT Hackney hits different. From the warm welcomes, the coaches genuine interactions and knowing everyone’s name, to the clean and modern equipment and facilities, it feels so nice to walk into and train in this space. I have previously not enjoyed group training because I like to do weight lifting only and train on my own however being in a new location, I decided to push my comfort zone and I was very lucky to have found this community. I am now doing group training 6 times a week and still getting personalised training feedback from the coaches as they are invested in their members health, wellbeing and performance. Thank you BFT Hackney, you have somehow made this weights only gal into someone who enjoys cardio!!!!
Fantastic experience: BFT Hackney is hands down the best gym I’ve been to. The sense of community is unmatched, the equipment is top-tier, and the trainers genuinely know their stuff. I used to be a serial HIIT’er, but since joining, I’ve slowed down, learned to train each muscle group properly, and I’m now so much stronger and injury-free. I honestly look forward to walking through those doors every morning! Big fan!
Fantastic experience: Nothing but good things to say about BFT Hackney! As someone who is fairly experienced with training the classes never fail to challenge me, the coaches always teach me something new and the atmosphere is great! Whether you want to come in, get your head down, or meet new people and socialise, BFT Hackney has it all! Great team, awesome knowledge, passion and expertise, well-organised and the perfect place to be if you want to build consistency and get strong
Fantastic experience: 100/10
Fantastic experience: The team at BFT Hackney - Frankie, Milo, Jack, Lucy and co are all 10/10 instructors. Not only are they focusing on being a great gym but they are fantastic in harvesting a sense of community and it shows in the people who attend. They truly allow for all different levels of abilities and no matter how large the class is they will take the time with you individually during the class to assist you with any questions or show you how to do the exercises correctly. Having come into the gym with zero strength experience can say they have taught me everything I know. Could not recommend this gym highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I've been at BFT for two months now and my confidence has grown massively, thanks to the amazing trainers (Jack, Frankie, Lucy, Kirby, Milo, Dave <3). There is a huge focus on technique and form, as well as challenging yourself but also having fun! There is a real sense of community and all of the other members are so lovely so you can also get your social time in (unless it's a cardio class where chatting is impossible). 10/10 would recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I joined BFT three months ago and absolutely love it. Every class has a friendly, community atmosphere and all the trainers are fantastic - a real win when every trainer knows all members by their first name! There’s a great mix of strength and cardio classes at really convenient times throughout the week. I’ve seen massive improvements in my fitness and strength since joining and am now so much more confident with lifting weights - a testament to the hard work of all the trainers who make sure everyone is lifting weights safely and correctly in every session. If you’re looking for a gym in Hackney that is welcoming with great (+sweaty) sessions - I couldn’t recommend BFT more!
Fantastic experience: BFT Hackney is great. Recovering from burnout and a couple of physical injuries has keep me from exercising for a while. I felt apprehensive about my returning to training until I stuck my head around the door of the gym to make an enquiry, & was met with warm welcome. Since joining, I have fund the sessions challenging and enjoyable. The instructors are knowledgeable & personable. I’ve previously invested a lot in personal training, but I prefer these workouts. I’d recommend BFT Hackney.
Fantastic experience: I will not stop telling people about how amazing BFT is! As someone who was absolutely terrified of going back to the gym after a lot of time away from training, I honestly can’t believe how quickly BFT has become something that I actually look forward to. All the coaches are lovely, they make you feel very supported and genuinely welcome. It’s a completely judgement-free zone, no egos and all-around good vibes. Every class is challenging, but it’s so rewarding seeing the progress I’ve made in the short time I’ve been going. The programming of the classes is also structured really well each week, meaning you never get bored either. If you’re anxious about returning to fitness, this is without a doubt the best place to go - highly recommend :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainers, and a really nice bunch of people to work out with. Ego free and lots of encouragement. A good mix of cardio and weights mean well balanced classes over the week you can do every day (and get your money's worth...) without fatiguing. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Love BFT. They got me in the best shape for my wedding, enjoyed it so much I'm still here a year on.
Fantastic experience: The workouts are challenging in the best possible way — every session pushes you out of your comfort zone, but somehow you leave feeling stronger, more energized, and genuinely proud of yourself. There’s an incredible variety in the programming, so it never feels repetitive, and it strikes the perfect balance between strength, cardio, and functional fitness. What really makes BFT special, though, are the trainers. Milo, Frankie, Dave, Jack, and Lucy are absolute legends — knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in everyone’s progress. They know how to push you when you need it, but always with encouragement and a smile. You’re not just a number here; the trainers actually care. And then there’s the community. The people who go to BFT are one of a kind — supportive, friendly, and inspiring. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, you’ll feel welcome from day one. It truly feels like a family where everyone wants to see each other succeed. Joining BFT has been a game changer for my fitness, but more importantly, for my mindset. I can’t recommend it enough.
Fantastic experience: The team have been nothing but welcoming since moving over from NZ two months ago. I’ve been to 13 studios (and counting!) and the Hackney team are a testament to the culture BFT brings to life - supportive, welcoming and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending BFT for almost a year now. Having done my fair share of expensive gyms/ programs, I truly believe bft to be the best of the best for a few reasons. 1. The coaches are fantastic and the community they’ve built is top notch. The coaches have helped me improve my form on almost every exercise and push me without being overbearing. I always leave class happier than when I walked in. 2. The exercises/program. Everything from warm up to stretching is well thought out and targets the specific muscle groups to improve your heavy lifts. I was also able to easily incorporate my half marathon training and relied on the coaches to help me prep and recover for races. 3. The logistics. Everything from pausing membership to signing up for classes is simple, easy to follow and there are no hidden fees or ridiculous contract clauses (looking at you equinox). Overall, attending BFT has improved my well-being, health and overall happiness.
Fantastic experience: BFT Hackney is a one of a kind gym offering a fantastic, varied and engaging fitness programme but more importantly a really great community! Frankie, Milo, Lucy, Jack, Dave and all other trainers make a real effort to welcome everyone! There’s great attention to detail in how they advise on correct form, tailoring the training to people’s needs if they have an injury and helping us understand why we are doing the specific exercises and what it’ll help us improve on! All the other members are lovely and inclusive too! You get to meet great people
Fantastic experience: Supercharged, community driven studio with excellent trainers!! There are 3 main reasons to join… 1. THE TRAINERS - They seriously know their stuff but what sets them aside is their ethos and vibe. They are genuinely caring, have no ego and just want to share their knowledge and make you the best version of yourself in the gym. 2. THE WORKOUTS - Every day is different and the programs are curated to all flow together nicely. You aren’t just gassing yourself everyday with cardio and you really start to see how each workout compliments the next. 3. THE COMMUNITY - Whether you’re an elite athlete or just starting out, you’ll have a place here. If you’re an Aussie or a Kiwi you will be even more at home. Everyone is inclusive, chilled and fun (basically just East London!)
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a classes based gym program in your area -look no further. Really nice team that helps you through the classes and constant heart rate monitoring makes it a real fun experience.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! The staff are incredibly welcoming and encouraging, and they’ve created a supportive community that truly motivates you. The classes are varied and suitable for all fitness levels, which keeps things fresh and challenging. If, like me, you also value the social aspect, you’ll appreciate the chance to meet amazing people and enjoy genuine connections beyond just training. Couldn’t recommend it more!
Fantastic experience: My friend was only in London for a short week and I recommended we try a class at BFT Hackney—I'm so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the team was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to feel at home even as a drop-in. We joined a strength class, and the coaches were fantastic—supportive, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout, guiding us through every movement with care. The energy in the studio was amazing, and the whole experience was seamless. I’d highly recommend it to anyone in the area, whether you're just visiting or looking for a new training spot.
Fantastic experience: BFT is the best fitness program in London! The coaches are incredible, and the training program is top-notch. I’ve been training with BFT for 16 months, and the improvement in my fitness has been nothing short of amazing. I feel stronger, fitter, and more motivated than ever. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to transform their health and fitness!
Fantastic experience: Such a good spot! The trainers are legends and create such a fun atmosphere while keeping you in check. 10/10
Fantastic experience: BTF Hackney has honestly become one of my favourite places to train. From the very first day, the trainers were so warm and welcoming—I never once felt out of place. They genuinely care about how you're doing, always checking your form and making sure you're moving in a way that’s right for your body. What I'm enjoying the most is that it’s helped me build a routine that actually sticks and doesn't feel like a chore. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about feeling good, staying safe, but also having fun. I genuinely look forward to my sessions there (some more than others! Lol), and joining BTF has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Thank you guys!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with attentive and supportive trainers (with owners very present). Varied work outs and the perfect combo of personal training support in a group fitness environment. Strongly recommend BFT Hackney!
Fantastic experience: BFT is more than just a gym—Frankie and Milo have built a true community where fitness and wellbeing come first. The classes are always challenging, and I really appreciate how head trainer Jack and the rest of the team prioritize proper form over just getting through reps. The supportive environment makes it a great place for anyone looking to improve both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!

The gym maintains high cleanliness standards, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. I highly recommend BFT Hackney to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals !!!!
Fantastic experience: My few months at BFT Hackney have been the best training experience I’ve ever had. As someone who hadn’t really tried circuit training before, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than what I have received from the coaches at Hackney and the setup of BFT as a whole! Recommend all to try
Fantastic experience: Great team. Workout is really varied across cardio/HIT/weight training/balance... You can get as much or little out of the class as you want. The trainers look after everyone equally and there is all body types amongst the kind members. Equipment is top and the balance of training is geared towards elite fitness without injury Love it!
Thank you for the amazing review, Ash Rabatin!
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in Hackney. Great people, great coaches, great gains. Sometimes there’s dogs floating around which is also a big plus.

Great trainers, great programming, high quality equipment, clean facility and the sense of community here is very strong. Can highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to train in the area.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place with amazing coaches! Highly recommend:)))
Fantastic experience: The best gym in East London by far. The training program is the right mix of tough but varied and balanced allowing you to attend multiple days a week and maintain consistency. The trainers have created a very welcoming and supportive environment. What sets BFT apart are the trainers who actually get to know everyone, pay attention, correct form and provide advice to help you progress at every skill level.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, great facilities and awesome workouts!
Fantastic experience: Brutal - but they make the 50 min worth it and fly by, very supportive and motivating team!

Fantastic experience: Great classes, great trainers and great facilities!
Fantastic experience: Solid workout, good inclusive environment, well coached without the faff. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Most of the people at Hackney BFT have followed milo, Frankie, and jack from previous gyms and for good reason - they are amazing! The workout structure is well thought out and gets you working smarter, not harder. I’m someone who’s been going to the gym for years but still needs corrections to my technique when I’m tired or get out of practice, as well as that extra push to get me out of my comfort zone. You get feedback and support on your technique in every session you do and it’s probably the closest thing you can get to PT but in a group setting. The dynamic is fun and we have a laugh during the sessions while working hard and you always leave feeling more confident than when you went in
Fantastic experience: Spend the last 3 months going to this gym and couldn't be happier! They have supported me to get more confident with my body. The team is fantastic; they are not just any trainer; they are really here to support and guide you, helping you pay attention to your posture so as not to injure yourself. Unlike other places, they have motivated me with positive reinforcement rather than shouting after me to go faster. I really like that I wasn't feeling pressured to push harder but encouraged. Another positive aspect is that they are creating a small community gym where people know each other. You often train in pairs or trios, but exercise next to each other so you don't feel pressured to slow others down.
Fantastic experience: The best trainers, so friendly, helpful and a great laugh. Addictive workouts so you keep coming back. Lovely clean gym. Just the best! x
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym - I highly recommend, especially if you’re new to London. The best community and the trainings are really supportive and friendly. I’ve been there for 3 months and have seen such a difference in my fitness abilities
Fantastic experience: BFT is a great fitness community! The coaches are incredibly supportive and make everyone feel welcome, no matter their fitness level. They pay close attention to each person, ensuring you feel seen and encouraged throughout the workouts. I was a bit nervous at first, but I ended up really enjoying the classes. Even though I couldn’t attend all the time, every session was a nice experience. If I ever live nearby in the future, I’d definitely love to join the classes once more!
Fantastic experience: I joined late last year and I can honestly say I’ve never had such a welcoming experience at a gym in London. I’ve struggled my whole life with gym fear and these guys are with you every step of the way, teaching you, encouraging you and making every session a genuinely enjoyable experience. The sense of community is unmatched and the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, kind and supportive. I look forward to the gym now…never thought I’d be able to say that. Big ups BFT Hackney!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym with a Great Atmosphere I’ve been training at BFT Training in Hackney for a while now, and really recommend it. The classes are brilliant and make it so easy for me to go every day, which I really enjoy. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly and really supportive and knowledgable on the gym floor. The membership is great value for money.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Philip! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your training experience and appreciating the atmosphere at BFT Hackney. Our dedicated team strives to create a welcoming environment, and it's great to know you feel supported. We look forward to seeing you in class!
Fantastic experience: The level of coaching and motivation at BFT Hackney is exceptional. Legit coaches who focus on personal development sets this place apart from others. My personal results in just 8 weeks demonstrate everything that is great about the community; it drags me out of bed in the morning and I feel like I’m missing out if I’m not there. Complete value for money, thanks guys!
Thank you for your amazing review, Ben! We are thrilled to hear that you find our coaching and community exceptional. Your personal results speak volumes, and we're happy to be a part of your journey. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at BFT Hackney!
Fantastic experience: I just started at BFT, and already I'm impressed with the level of care the team are showing. There were 3 (!) coaches all guiding me during my workout, meaning I was supported emotionally but importantly - they weren't just cheerleaders, they all provided knowledgable technical adjustments not just on form but all three coaches gave me personal adaptations to each exercise specific to me - My core isn't strong so I cannot balance my legs on a yoga ball so they supported and held the ball still for me so I could jump on, and for the life of me I cannot do a 5kg weighted pushup so they made sure to switch the weight as soon as they noticed it was too much, they also noticed that my chest press weight was far too light and wanted me to push myself so we went up - this is the closest I've got to having my own PT and now I have three at once. The best part though is that they track your heartrate in the class so you can understand live where you are on your own personal effort scale as opposed to pitting your bench weight against others. I love seeing the data and progression, so I'm looking forward to my next session already!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Justine! We're thrilled to hear that our coaches have made such a positive impact on your experience. Providing personalized support and tracking progress is our top priority, and it’s great to know you appreciate it. We're looking forward to seeing you at your next session!
Fantastic experience: I dropped in to train here while on vacation, and I couldn’t have felt more welcome! I usually train at my BFT gym in Spain, but the trainers here made me feel right at home. They’re professional, have built a fantastic community, and really take the time to look out for everyone with personalized tips to ensure good form. The space itself is spacious, spotlessly clean, has few showers and is thoughtfully stocked with small amenities in the changing rooms—little details that show their extra commitment. Thank you to the team for a great session and such a warm experience!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Janel! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and enjoyed your training session with us. It's great to know our team made such a positive impression and that you appreciated the facilities. We hope to have the pleasure of training with you again in the future!
Positive experience: Clean gym, new equipment, lovely people, good location. I attended BFT in Australia and it is the same style and quality. They were willing to work with my hectic work travel schedule and they really push you in the sessions with a focus on alignment. Sadly the price is beyond reach. I also have weekly swimming, track and yoga. For the price you’d need to attend 4x/week so having other fitness commitments makes it hard. If you want to get fit fast and don’t have other sports in your life - look no further! Excellent gym.
Fantastic experience: Wish I was local. Loved this place. The PTs are really engaged and there are enough of them to look after everyone, so you get plenty of advice and attention throughout the session. They use heart monitors so you can track yourself on the screens, and the equipment is all in great condition. Fantastic gym.
Fantastic experience: This gym has blown me away with how great the set up is and trainers are super helpful and very motivating. Anyone wanting to try exercise the right way , this is your place. Can't wait to go for my next session.
Fantastic experience: Visiting from out of town and I couldn’t have picked a better place to workout on my trip! Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere of the gym is unbeatable! Deffo check out BFT Hackney!

This sense of camaraderie makes every workout enjoyable and fulfilling.If you're looking for a place to elevate your fitness journey, I highly recommend BFT Hackney.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I recently moved to London and had no clue where I wanted to start with gyms/exercising etc. My friend suggested I do a trial in BFT because she was loving it. That was nearly 3 months ago now and I have not looked back. The trainers are really helpful and encouraging. Literally so fun!! Would definitely recommend ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've been going to BFT in hackney since it's opened and love training here. There is a real community feel and the coaches are invested in looking after you and ensuring that you have good form and technique whilst encouraging you to lift more. They have worked with me through injuries and always ensure I am getting the most out of each session. Highly recommend as I've noticed the difference in my fitness and strength!
Fantastic experience: Epic gym, great trainers and even better training program. My partner & I joined when it opened and have loved every minute of it, my body hasn’t felt this balanced, strong and fit since playing semi professional rugby. The trainers have built a great community feel based on working hard & smart but having fun along the way.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and more importantly, this team of trainers. Workouts are varied, atmosphere is friendly, you can have a great workout whatever your fitness level. Trainers are on hand to help, correct, support and make sure you have fun. I travel a lot and moving back to London permanently struggled to find somewhere to train that felt right, then randomly saw this place. The rest is history, and even with my crazy schedule, I love the routine of coming to a session then getting on with whatever the day brings! Best place to come to get you moving again!
