5 /5 John Sanderson: I hate gyms…. But Society is nothing like any gym I’ve been to before. There is no pressure, no monotony, no egos and no waiting round for some beefcake to vacate the piece of equipment you want to use.
Society caters for everyone - I’m an overweight 59 year old but I have never felt out of place or inadequate. Everyone (coach and fellow gym goers) are friendly and supportive, and the environment is welcoming and inclusive.
Each programme is designed with a purpose and each session is prepared to make it interesting, but it’s the coaching that sets Society aside from other gyms. You work in small groups (max. 6 people per coach) and you get personal attention, advice that is tailored to your specific needs, and just the right level of motivation.
I joined Society in May thinking I’d last a month (which is about usual for me) but I’m still going eight months later and loving any minute - which is something I never though I’d say about exercise! - and the results have been amazing.
If, like me, you know you should be doing more but can’t bear the thought of going to a gym, then Society is definitely the place for you.
