“A completely different environment to a normal gym.”
Great workouts with understanding, encouraging instructors. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed and the atmosphere is really positive. Everyone is kind and supportive. I’d recommend this class to any beginners with gym anxiety — 100% recommend.

I went for a session at MetxFit back in September, dragged my husband and daughter along and it's now our regular Friday night fitness session.
I started with no prior fitness experience, over weight, no energy and no stamina. 8 weeks on, I've lost a stone, feel energised, able to push myself further to feel the burn and proud of my achievement.
John and Russell at MetxFit have given me the confidence and support to be able to believe in myself. They create a varied circuit class each week for cardio and strengthening. The variety keeps the circuit fun and interesting.

Joining the fitness class was quite a big step for me, and I was feeling so nervous at first. However it all changed when I met John and Russ. The encouragement and energy of these guys have helped me improve immeasurably. Every session is packed with fun, but each one also helped me to cope with my anxiety. I consider myself now fully part of the close knit community. We all support each other and kind to each other.
