Faye Macis Ive been a member at this gym for I think around 18 months now. I was previously at a big chain but Ive always been self conscious and never felt comfortable. What originally drew me to this gym was the low lighting, so I went for a visit and I was immediately sold. I dont feel self conscious or uncomfortable here and will happily wear a vest top (which I previously never did) because its not lit up like a football field on match night. Its a little small downstairs so can feel a little cramped when its busy, but Ive not come across anyone who isnt willing to share equipment/space, or who hogs anything. I usually go at 8pm when its pretty quiet, especially at the weekend (my photo was a Friday night about a year ago). Theres a surprising amount of equipment for a small gym. So many plate loaded machines which I much prefer. Also... The music is banging. Loud, bassy, and no membership adverts! Im more of a metalhead but the music here gets me pumped. Highly recommend to anyone!

Paul Jenkins The Lantern Clinic I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Margarita Kitova-John. For many years, I have struggled with a chronic health condition, and unfortunately, I have been consistently let down by our NHS professionals. It is incredibly refreshing to engage in thoughtful, in-depth discussions about my health—where all aspects, including diet, lifestyle, and natural supplements, are carefully considered. This level of attention is something that is simply not possible within the constraints of a typical 10-minute NHS GP or consultant appointment. If you are facing challenges with your health and are seeking real solutions, I highly recommend speaking with Dr. Margarita.

Present Nyaruwata Very nice place to workout with no problems even all staff are very friendly and welcoming especially if you need any help

Shaun Rimmer As a 54 year old, Ive been going to Military Functional Fitness for a number of years and its completely transformed my training form, helped me lose 3 stone and made me feel a 1000% fitter, stronger and healthier. Its run by Daz Dugan who is incredibly experienced and knowledgable, plus has that rare skillset of making you feel comfortable and not intimidated. If youre looking to get fitter, or stronger, or just to transform how you look and feel, I would thoroughly recommend giving them a call.

Hardeep Dhillon We had the most wonderful Christmas getaway and honestly could not fault our stay. From the very beginning, every single request was fulfilled — from being placed in the same block, to early check-in, to cots and high chairs ready for us. The apartments were immaculately clean, spacious, and incredibly convenient for families with young children. Christmas at Old Thorns was truly special. From Christmas Eve dinner and breakfast to Christmas Day lunch, the service was exceptional. Every member of staff worked tirelessly, always with a smile, making sure our Christmas was memorable while we simply relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. You could genuinely feel how much effort went into creating such a warm, festive atmosphere. A special mention to the maintenance team — when we had an issue with the heating, they came immediately, showed real care, and didn’t leave until it was fully working. That level of attentiveness meant so much, especially with children. We absolutely loved the bar atmosphere, spending many enjoyable moments there, and the spa and swimming facilities were spotless, beautifully maintained, and perfectly warm for the children — something that really stood out to us. We would like to personally thank just some of the amazing people who looked after us from day one of booking right through to the end of our stay: Ben, Dan, Kirsty, Fiona, Jordan, Gemma, Mary Rose, and Kelly. helping us book from our first email Carmel, and Alex Grey (who was incredibly helpful with the booking via email). Truly though, every single member of staff from the moment we stepped foot into Old Thorns was welcoming, professional, and kind. If I were to suggest just two small additions to make the experience even better: • Slippers and gowns available in the rooms • A porter service or luggage trolley to help transport bags to the apartments Overall, an outstanding Christmas stay — warm, organised, family-friendly, and genuinely memorable. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our Christmas so special and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you Hardeep Dhillon And the whole group
