 Ruth:

 I joined Gymphobics in February. When I was younger I enjoyed visiting a conventional gym but unfortunately age, arthritis and asthma caught up with me and now I am unable to comfortably take part in a keep fit class. Thanks to the specialised equipment and the wonderful instructors who are always helpful and supportive, I have found a way of exercise which is neither overtaxing or painful. In spite of this I have gained in fitness and lost some weight, my blood pressure and heart rate have both lowered and  I am once more enjoying my exercise  and in  great surroundings. One of the best things is that due to the excellent air conditioning I have no problems with my asthma whilst exercising.  I even walked the 5K Race for Life and before starting Gymphobics I was having difficulty in going for a one mile walk with my dog!

Claire’s story...

My guest visit let me see that there is so much more to the Gymophobics concept.  I’ve always been happy with my slim frame but I felt very unfit. I wanted more energy, more curves and to tone and strengthen by body.

The Staff at Gymophobics are lovely, they spend time finding out what your goals are and then they make a programme just for you.  In no time I began to feel the results I wanted and I’m having fun into the bargain, it’s a great place to come and workout.

When I first joined in August 2009 my heart rate was really high, showing just how unfit I was, now it’s greatly improved and I have so much more energy, stamina and confidence.  My body fat analysis is much better too as my muscle tone improves.

Just 30 minutes 3 times a week really has changed my life!

I joined Gymophobics in October 2009, I'd been a member of other gyms before but I'd never really seen a visible difference. 

Here at Gymophobics its so different, first off its only 30 mins, two or three times a week, so you're in and out before you know it,

it takes no time at all and I really enjoy it.

I've gone from a size 14 to a size 10. I've lost 21lbs and best of all my body shape is much improved because I've also lost 19 inches.

The atmosphere is friendly and the decor is so uuplifting when you walk in. the staff are lovely, and what I really like is the way they involve

me whilst making my programmes, to make sure its just right for me.

I feel great in my clothes and my husband loves the change in me, he even says I look younger!

I'm going to keep coming to gymophobics to maintain my body shape, its lovely to know that I'm in control again - and I can honestly say its

a pleasure to come and afterwards I like to stay and have a coffee and a chat with my friends.

Gymophobics really has changed my life - I'd recommend it to anyone!

Madeline 134925   I have been a member of a gym for years, I was bored and saw no visable difference.  I love Gymophobics, no time to be bored, friendly helpful staff who make sure you are exercising correctly and that the programme is right for you.  Only 7 weeks into my programme and I can wear a straight dress for the first time in about 30 years!

Anne 116208   I have suffered from gymophobia for years, now I am a Gymophobics fan! Wonderful place! no embarrassment, no low self image, you are encouraged and walk out feeling good about yourself.  Great place, great concept and staff are so attentive. Long may it continue.... Thank you :)

Michelle 116323  Its great to get away from Motherhood to my four year old daughter and to have a little 'me time' to do something for me - great to get my body back!!

Jan 134804  I have always used a gym but never been able to follow a programme all the way through because of having to wait to use a machine.  Being able to book a slot here at Gymophobics is great, I'm having fun and the staff are the best. The atmosphere is wonderful and the friendliest I have known. Carry on the great work!

Karin 134839  What a fab place, I've been coming since the beginning and 'wow' what a difference, I'm losing pounds and inches, energy levels are fab and I now have a waist - I haven't seen that in years!!! Staff are brilliant, I love it! No feeling of dread on gym day!

Tracey 134919  I love the fact its only 30 minutes - I thought I'd struggle to get here three times a week, instead I've been coming every other day since my induction!

Annie 134965   For the first time, coming here gives me 'me time' and I feel better in every way...Thank you! :)

Angela 134900   I joined the gym with some trepidation as I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and didn't know whether I would be able to cope with the gym regime.  All the staff have been so supportive and are very friendly. I now attend the gym 3 times a week, feel better, have more energy and I'm now increasing both the weight resistance and my number of repititions. Thank you so much for helping me to feel alive again.

Gillian 134925  Its great to have a centre so local, after a short time you really notice a difference. It doesn't matter what time of the day you come you're always greeted by a friendly face - Thank you :)

Nadia 116288  Its been really fantastic to come here for the workout, first the enviromment is the best - it always lifts my mood. I know the staff are always there to help me if I'm going wrong doing any exercise. I feel its certainly improved my energy levels and my mood swings are more in balance and my body is changing shape - its lovely to exercise and make it your routine. Thank you to everyone here :)

Sue 134848  Joining the gym is the best thing I've ever done for a long time. I've been coming since it opened, I've lost inches though it didn't seem hard. I've got loads more energy - I suffer with stiff aching joints which have gradually improved and don't cause me as much of a problem as they once did. Taking charge of my weight, health and fitness has motivated me to look at different areas of my life. I feel much more positive and energised.

Jan 134804   Thank you:)  if people who felt down came here they would not need anti-depressants! instead they would feel so much better - this is the best!

Pamela 134963   Don't do gyms, but this is a holiday camp - wakey wakey music and a Hi 5 as you come through the door - geat!

Miriam 134962   I'm loving this gym, its doing me the world of good. I can now walk up stairs again, the staff are great and very helpful.

Moira 116470  This is only my second visit and already I love it - much better than the gym I was going to before you opened. The staff are lovely, appoachable, friendly and very very helpful. Not having to wait for the machines to become available is fab. Thank you :)

Alice 134938  I'm so glad this place opened, thanks to everyone for being so helpful and friendly - I'd recommend and encourage anyone to join, the benefits are phychological as well as physical - Love the place :)

Sian 116421   Thanks to you all, you make me feel so welcome here, I really enjoy coming.

Christine 134894  I have just had my first re-assessment and am very pleased with the results - you're given so much encouragement here, much better than anywhere else I've been.
