Testimonials of our members

I have battled with my weight all my adult life. Even though I have tried all the usual weight loss programmes, I have always put the weight back on. In 2000 I suffered a slipped disc and needed an emergency operation. Unfortunately it left me with some nerve damage, which meant i had to learn how to walk again. I lost a lot of confidence in myself and spent the last 10 years yo-yo dieting. By January 2011 I knew I had to do something. I felt so unhappy with my weight and felt unhealthy.

I arrived for my induction feeling very nervous. It was during my induction that the instructor discover I had high blood pressure. The following week I visited my GP and she was very keen for me to proceed with the gym as exercise is known to lower blood pressure.

Amazingly going to Gymophobics three times a week has indeed lowered my blood pressure, without the aid of any medication. I have also lost 25 lbs, 15 inches and I now have a healthy BMI

The staff are fantastic, very friendly, encouraging and supportive. It also has a lovely atmosphere. Going to Gymophobics has change my life. I am CONFIDENT, SLIMMER AND HEALTHIER
 

Pat Carr

I have always been very scared and nervous about going to a gym but I knew I needed to loose weight and get fitter, so when my daughter suggested Gymophobics I though i should at least look. I was that nervous though, I wouldn't even have a look without my daughter coming along. But have a look I did, and i was so impressed with how relaxed and friendly the staff were and how happy the members were.

What was there to be scared of!!!!!! My daughter asked most of the questions as I so self-conscious, but i felt that maybe Gymophobics was the place for me. I couldn't make a decision there and then because the whole thing terrified me, but after a long conversation with my daughter I contacted the gym and arranged to have an induction with one of the instructors. This was the best decision I ever made. 

I have various medical conditions, asthma, arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and suffer with bouts of depression. I am also on different medication for these conditions. 

I was nearly 20 stone when i started and now 8 months later i have lost 3 stone in body weight and 45 inches. I struggled to walk and get on the equipment to start with but now my mobility has improved so much I have a spring in my step. My GP is so impressed with my progress that i have now stopped taking my blood pressure medication

The staff are all so helpful and attentive that if it wasn't for their support and encouragement, I doubt I would have stayed or enjoyed my workouts as much. Its not only the staff that make my visit enjoyable its also the members. Their encouragement and interest in others is so positive it has really boosted my confidence. As for being nervous in the gym......NOT anymore!!! I love Gymophobics and speak highly of it to anyone I meet. 

I can now say I am not a GYMOPHOBIC but a GYMAHOLIC

The staff at Ipswich have been great, encouraging me and changing my programme every few weeks to help me maintain my weight loss. Everyone at the gym is really friendly which makes it a nice place to go.

Lillian

For some time now I felt that I was not as fit or active as I was just a year ago. Then I saw the Gymophobics advert and thought perhaps this is it. Later my daughter Rosemary also saw the advert and mentioned it to me, yes I said, shall we join?
We booked a look see and were guests one afternoon and immediately joined Gymophobics that very day. After just a few sessions I began to feel more active and alert and am aware of my posture. I have always enjoyed the countryside and before joining Gymophobics I felt such enjoyment was disappearing, now I can look forward once again to such outdoor activities
I am enjoying my sessions and am amazed at the kindness and individual help all receive from the instructors. I am glad to be a member of such a friendly gym, joining Gymophobics is something I will never regret.

I have been a member of Gymophobics Ipswich for just over 3 years. I have always found the staff very friendly and approachable, and they always offer support and advice when needed.

Combined with an improved diet, Gymophobics has assisted me with considerable weight and inch loss, and I would definitely recommend as a great toning exercise. I enjoy the gym with its friendly and relaxed atmosphere where all the staff know you by name.
