YMCA East Surrey - (Near Surrey, UK)

Lewis Davis Lovely lady who runs this place, let me come in and use the wifi, despite the fact I was soaking wet, whilst I was trying to track my lost phone. Kind, compassionate, gestures like that make the world go round - so thank you for helping me! FYI - I got the phone back!

Gemma Knott I’ve been coming to society for over a year but I’ve only been really consistent in the last few months. I have always wanted to get better at weight training. I always found the weights at regular gyms either constantly being used or intimidating. If the machine I wanted to use was being used I’d leave after a while and I rarely pushed myself if I did get to use them for fear of doing it wrong. Since joining Society I’ve felt so welcomed and comfortable. It was a bit daunting at first but the coaches are super friendly and helpful. Really put you at ease. I love the positive energy and vibes. The classes are small so the coaches can help you. There’s lots of classes at all different times to suit your schedule. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at everyone is welcome and they cater for all. The sessions are fun too. I’m now always being pushed to the next level. I’m hitting PBs and lifting weights I never dreamed I’d be doing. I have Society to thank for that. They have believed in me and pushed me when I didn’t think I could do it but also so understanding when you do struggle. I am getting stronger and more confident. I also believe in myself more. It’s really helped me mentally as well as physically. I really notice the difference in me when I haven’t been to the gym! I’ve made friends at Society too so it’s always nice to catch up whilst working out when you’re in the same class. I highly recommend Society! It’s not just a gym it’s a community of fun, likeminded and positive people.

Samantha Westbrook GM FIT has great training sessions in a welcoming gym space. Its a lovely community of people, and very friendly. I started my journey with PT sessions six months ago. Grant ensured my technique was always correct to prevent injury. He made personal adjustments for my ability, making sure I protected my lower back (previous injury). I have now joined the group sessions too. Grant has a positive attitude, he gives encouragement and genuinely cares for my development. Im really pleased with the progress I have made since I joined. I feel stronger and more confident. I actually look forward to training! Its fun and always a laugh! Usually because I forget how many reps/sets Ive done and cant count!

Angela Ming is an amazing Muay Thai coach and also Personal Trainer for fitness, S&C & Martial Arts, he also does PTs. The classes are great for all levels. They also have Yoga classes 3 times a week with Mannie who is lovely! A great place to train and very welcoming. Come and try!

Rianna Henry I absolutely adore Jo at Lovehair, she has been such an incredible support to me in growing my business. I recently attended her Brand Only Course & it was the by far one of the best courses I have ever attended; she gave me so advice and support with a great vegetarian lunch. I cant thank her enough for all the knowledge she shared with me. I am also a member of the Lovehair Business Club and I cant tell you how beneficial its been to myself and my business being self employed it can be hard sometimes being alone but this is where the Business Club comes in and is such a great support in terms of community. Thank you so much Jo!
