Customer Reviews
Alissa

Gravity Gym has been transformative for me. I had no prior experience with strength training before joining, and the supportive, personable coaching made the learning process both effective and enjoyable. I also completed my Personal Training certification there, which was exceptionally well organised and delivered efficiently. The quality of instruction and support throughout was excellent. Highly recommended for both training and professional development.
Andy

I would highly recommend Gravity Fitness. I did my level 3 personal training course with Gareth and Claire. The course was well structured with plenty of detail both practical and theory. Very interactive and also a lot of fun as well ! I was well prepared for the practical exam and made to feel at ease. The gym is really well equipped and you can tell anyone going here really enjoys it with a local community spirit. I wish Gareth, Claire and all the team all the best for the future.

I have been going to Gravity Fitness since one year now, the team is amazing, they always make you feel welcome and give you support tailored to your personal fitness goals. It was my first time joining a gym so it was really great to have semi private classes where you learn the right postures to avoid injury. All round a great experience!
Philip

I joined Gravity a year ago today and it has been truly transformative in my life. I want to thank the entire team there, past and present, and especially Emma and Gar for early encouragement, as well as trainers Fergal, John, Alex, Antonio and all other gym users for their advice and patience. I'm looking forward to the next year and to going "from strength to strength" for many years to come with the help of the team at Gravity Fitness.

My experience with Gravity has been excellent. I joined their semi private classes back in January 2020, and I found them challenging, engaging and fun. When restrictions due to COVID were brought in, Gravity promptly organized Zoom classes and provided us with weights and bands to facilitate workouts at home. The workouts are tough, and the results have been amazing. During this time, I have lost 3 kgs of fat, I started running, my mood and sleep patterns have improved and I feel excellent overall. A big shout out to Conor, Gareth and Michael, who have been extremely encouraging and professional. I achieved more during this time than I have in years in other gyms.
