sammi Pickett Thank you so much Gymfinity kid’s farnborough for a fantastic Halloween party! My daughter is having an amazing time and has already asked when the next one is! Great staff and an amazing set up of games for all abilities! all the children and staff looked amazing all in their costumes! It was great fun to watch too! Thank you! What a great idea!

Sir.PhantoM JD Gyms Bitterne is honestly one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. The gym is very spacious with a great layout, so it never feels cramped. The equipment is top tier, especially the Hammer Strength machines, which are perfect for serious training. The sauna is a massive bonus and makes recovery so much easier. I’ve also been training with Adam, who is a fantastic personal trainer. He offers everything from PT sessions to physiotherapy, is extremely knowledgeable, and the pricing is very reasonable for the level of service you get. Overall, the gym is worth every penny. Highly recommend JD Gyms Bitterne to anyone serious about their training.

Leanne Deegan This place has saved me in more ways than one! It’s stunning rural setting just 10 minute drive from my city home. The people are supportive and welcoming, always meeting new faces and it’s like we’ve all been there forever. Naomi is fantastic at keeping everyone motivated, the environment welcoming and the workouts fun. I love coming here every week and it’s the only exercise I’ve ever managed to maintain long term. Highly recommend to anyone of all abilities, Naomi is great at tailoring workouts even in the group setting. I feel so much stronger, not only physically but mentally too.

Orenda Wellbeing Another wonderful weekend of leading a retreat at the Isle of Yoga. Erling and Elaine are fantastic hosts who provide a nurturing, calm and welcoming atmosphere in their lovely home. My students and I were taken great care of, nothing was too much to ask. Great meals too that have inspired me to cook more vegetarian dishes at home. Thank you!

evo692 I recently completed my STCW course at UKSA in Cowes and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment you arrive, the place genuinely feels like Hogwarts for sailing — you’re completely immersed in a professional maritime environment that’s focused on learning, safety, and seamanship. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and supportive, with a huge amount of real-world experience. Having an ex-paramedic teaching first aid and ex and current members of the fire service delivering the fire training made a massive difference — it’s a bit like having Lewis Hamilton giving you driving lessons. You’re learning from people who have truly been there and done it. The course was well structured, engaging, and delivered in a way that made even the more demanding elements feel manageable. Safety procedures, first aid, firefighting, and sea survival were all taught clearly with a strong emphasis on practical application, which really builds confidence. UKSA’s facilities in Cowes are excellent and well maintained, and the overall learning environment was friendly and professional. The staff were approachable and genuinely invested in helping everyone succeed, regardless of background or previous experience. I left the course feeling confident, competent, and fully prepared for work at sea. I would highly recommend UKSA to anyone looking to complete their STCW training or progress their maritime career.
