Fitness classes in Manchester

“I would recommend this place to everyone. I've been going for around 4 years and my daughter has been attending the children's classes for almost 2 years. Both of us love going to our classes and I have made some friends for life. Everyone is so welcoming, there's no need to feel shy at all.”

“As a new golfer, I first went to Richard for a club fitting. I was immediately impressed by the data analysis he presented to me after I tested a number of different brands and models of irons. This allowed us to make an informed decision when choosing the set to order. Once my set of irons arrived I initiated my first block of lessons at The Golf School. As anyone will know who plays golf, there are so many elements to a golf swing but the highly technical launch monitors, camera systems and teaching aids that Richard uses at his facility really help you to understand your swing and see the impact when you make changes. When things don’t go so well you can more easily identify which area you need to work on too. The indoor facilities allow you to continue with lessons and practice no matter what the weather, enabling further improvement throughout the winter season when you might otherwise have not been out as much as you would have liked. Richard is a great communicator and he ensures you have a clear understanding of his teaching. He is informative and friendly and delivers his lessons in a relaxed environment. I am incredibly pleased with the progress I have made since having lessons with Richard and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game technically but also psychologically.”

“My kids have been coming here for years. My son started when he was 6yrs old ( now 12) and my daughter started the preschool class at 2 and a half ( now 9 ) they come twice a week and absolutely love it. North west warriors are great with all ages of children ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five star rating from us”

“We love KAS Academy. We have been coming for years, ballet, acrobatics, drama and contemporary dance lessons, all excellent! We also love the school holiday camps, such a great experience and the family get to enjoy an amazing show at the end. Highly recommended!”

“I've been to a lot of different classes here over the years, and the teaching quality has always been great. They've got a ton of nice equipment (which they keep *very* clean), and lessons are always well planned out to challenge each person in the class. I've also done occasional private lessons to work on specific goals, and they've been really helpful each time. The instructors are friendly and approachable, and I'd absolutely recommend Bodybarre to people at any level of fitness. Lots of fun to be had!”

“I've been training with Frank's for over 2 years. It's the best martial arts training I've ever had in my 15 years of experience. Excellent facilities with top, professional coaching. They are there to get you fit, improve your skills and support you along the way.”

“Brilliant! Both my children attend classes with Adam and they LOVE it! Adam is a fantastic coach. The sessions are varied and interesting. The children are always smiling and coming here has definitely boosted their confidence. Highly recommended.”

“Very good customer service, top quality products. Would definitely recommend”

“Was recommended by my brother I have been to many tattoo places over the years No class tattoo is the best out of them all, Ginny really knows what he is doing he fixed up a badly done tattoo and added some shades around it I have had 3 tattoo's of him in one week and will be having one more in 2 days, I would highly recommend this place I wouldn't go no other place ever agian”

“Great old school gym. Friendly atmosphere.”

“Ive been going to this gym for over a year now. I first started when i was 6 months postpartum and from my first session to my last, i have loved every single one. I first started having one to one training with kate who helped me rebuild muscle and recover from having an emergency csection. Not only did kate help me with physical training but she also helped me with my diet and helped me make life long changes that will help with my weight and to make me stronger and healthier. Then i started going to the mums and babies classes on Wednesdays.the coaches and the owner Jay always make so much effort to keep my little one busy whilst i work out. They bring in different health professionals for the classes that educate us on postpartum recovery which has been great. The gym is always spotless clean and always feels like a safe space which i love because my daughter loves adventuring round the gym. I love the friendly environment of the gym and can not recommend it enough.”

“We really appreciated being welcomed in to watch a training session. The facilities are great – clean, well-organized, and clearly run with professionalism and passion. Thank you for the hospitality!”

“Great gym, great people and a great atmosphere! Lessons catered for beginners with no previous experience all the way up to active fighters! If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit whilst learning new, effective combat techniques then look no further! City Centre location with classes starting from 17:30pm onwards so it won’t mess with your work hours!”

“A great gym for all levels, with some really high level players here. I was welcomed by Kam, who is a down to earth, approachable coach, with a fantastic teaching style that makes martial arts accessible for everyone.”

“I took my 8-year old boy for boxing lessons. The class is amazing, great atmosphere, great training and my son absolutely loves it.”

“CITY performed well, Bunny did great becoming the first to net over a hundred goals. Fugino played really well getting possession taking the ball up the wing and then putting some brilliant crosses in. However Bunny got the first goal but later, Fugi got a well deserved goal. A few near misses and two goals ruled offside seemed to take the heart out of Villa, and City ran amok.”

“I took my Mum who is 86 with Alzheimer's into G4 Physio while she was awaiting NHS physio to keep her strength up. She saw Ruairi and Jess on a number of occasions and they couldn't have been more kind, patient, understanding and imaginative in the exercises they were giving her to help her to understand what to do. It's improved her mobility and wellbeing and I'd highly recommend them. Thank you so much.”

“The most welcoming, friendly and fun studio in Manchester! The instructors are fantastic, supportive and work to your level in every class. The variety of classes on offer far outstrips any other studio in Manchester and they offer great value for money. Easily accessible, just 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, if you are looking to start out or to drop by and practice insane tricks, Polefire is without a doubt the best place to go!”

“I honestly don’t think you can get a team that could make you feel so comfortable. Both myself and my son have been for V02 max tests. It’s makes no difference if you are an athlete or just a general runner wanting to improve. The staff are just so welcoming and supportive. We love this place.”

“The experience was excellent. The room was a bit smaller but all the amenities and services were there for a much comfortable stay. As we were coming from Hyatt House to Hyatt regency they gave us an early Check in, which was very kind of them. The restaurant staffs were extremely kind and helpful. A big shout out to Andrea from the restaurant, she was very helpful with the menu suggestions, as well as she helped us to find out nearest places to visit, she also gave a Drawing book and colours to our daughter so that she can play with that. Over all a very good experience and thank you to the Whole team.”

“Great place original and unique interior !!! Friendly and helpful staff!!! Enjoyed our visit to Manchester and staying at The James hotel”

“My daughter started here only 6 weeks ago and has learned so much. She has been developed so many skills already and really enjoys coming. She has also advanced 2 badges. The support from the coach is brilliant. Practicing at home seriously helps her improvement. We look forward to seeing her progress through the badges”

“I held my wedding reception there on Sunday 12th May. Adam & Vikki could not do enough for us. They went above and beyond our expectation. Nothing seemed too much trouble and the room was set up ready for us. We would definitely recommend this venue.”

“I’ve been a member at Village Gym Cheadle for about three months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. The facilities are excellent everything from the gym floor to the pool area is modern, clean, and well-maintained. The team there are excellent, from the friendly reception staff who always greet you with a smile, to the personal trainers who are approachable and knowledgeable, everyone genuinely seems to care about helping members feel welcome and supported. I’m already seeing the benefits of being part of such a positive and professional gym environment. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym with great facilities, a friendly atmosphere, and a real community feel!”

“Just checked into the Raddison and can say im glad I booked! 3 hours travel to get here before my U.S. flight so tired and just wanted to relax. From entering the hotel using the terminal 2 tunnel the hotel is easy to find, modern and very clean. I was checked in by William who had a trainee badge on however was very knowledgeable and helpful giving helpful tips and ensuring I had everything I needed. I was so happy with Williams service I've just booked again for 23rd December this time for the family. Great Staff and service. :)”
