Subrina Hussain I have received absolutely outstanding service since joining Loughton Leisure Centre. From the very beginning, Sharon, one of the managers, has been nothing short of amazing. I initially enquired online and was quickly contacted by Sharon, who followed up with a phone call and arranged a tour. I suffer with excruciating pain and often find gyms intimidating, but Sharon’s kind and genuine nature instantly put me at ease. At one point, I became tearful during our conversation, and she didn’t just brush it off — she listened, handed me a tissue, and gave me a reassuring hug. There was never any pressure to join; instead, I felt supported and understood. That made all the difference. Since signing up, I’ve been attending regularly, and the atmosphere continues to be welcoming. Becca, another member of staff, always greets members with a big smile and even remembers names — such a simple but meaningful touch that makes you feel valued. Both Sharon and Becca are a true credit to the Centre. I’ve already recommended Loughton Leisure Centre to friends and family so they too can experience the top-class service and supportive environment. Since joining, my pain has become more manageable, and I genuinely look forward to coming in. Thank you to Sharon, Becca, and the whole team for all you do for the community — it really makes a difference!

B P The Toning Ground isn’t just a gym, it’s a community. It’s a women’s-only space that offers a variety of strength-based classes that are not only fun, but truly push and challenge you. Because classes are kept small, it feels like a personal training session with friends. As you keep coming, you start to really get to know the other women, so you build friendships, find support, and transform both your body and your mindset. TTG is also expanding with open gym sessions, so you can train independently as well as in classes. They’re always introducing new events, challenges, and programs to keep things fresh and help the community grow stronger together. If you’re looking to change your lifestyle and be part of something genuinely empowering, I couldn’t recommend The Toning Ground enough.

Ds Sports Therapy Been at anytime for around 2 weeks now. Only thing I regret is not joining earlier. amazing gym. Great selection of machines. Amazing friendly staff. So so clean and can’t recommend it enough.

Sal I got into contact with David at a time where my fitness dropped and was not in good shape. David was very understanding of my situation and got together a long term plan to achieve my goals. My goals were to improve in boxing and increase my fitness levels and David crafted sessions to help me achieve those goals. David is professional, friendly and disciplined in the way he works. I would definitely recommend David as personal trainer regardless of skill level, fitness level as he is experience and knows what is required to reach any goals you may have. David also strives to keep improving and upgrading his studio as well as bringing in new equipment and different exercises to hit bespoke areas of training that you may need.

Shalina Ali I absolutely love Fitness HQ Gym & Studios! I’ve been going to the reformer Pilates classes and they are amazing. The space is clean, welcoming, and has such a great atmosphere. Lucy is a fantastic instructor - she’s friendly, encouraging, and always makes sure everyone feels comfortable while still challenging us to get the most out of each session. Since joining, I’ve noticed such a difference in my strength and posture, and I actually look forward to every class! Highly recommend Fitness HQ and especially Lucy’s reformer Pilates sessions to anyone looking for a great workout and supportive environment.
