“This is a fantastic place to learn traditional karate for young and old. The instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience stretching back over 40 years ! You are made to feel at ease and welcome the moment you walk through the door!”

“Henry is a great golf coach , he is extremely patient and has a fantastic ability to talk through techniques which as a beginner is important for me . Henry is also coaching my children and is incredible with them and has a happy, genuine personality which really helps the kids listen and respect him”

“Amazing dance school which is fantastically ran by Sophie, Heidi and Alison. Our girls have been attending from a young age learning tap and street dance. From taking part in annual shows to making life long friends it's a really great organisation for your child to get involved with. Plus they do adult classes as well which my better half attends. Highly recommended!”

“Frankie is fantastic. She’s helped me with neck spasms, back pain, and occasional triceps twinges. She’s always thorough, knows exactly what she’s doing, and I walk out feeling significantly better every time. Highly recommend.”

“I went to see Daniel about lower back pain issues I had. Daniel was extremely thorough and professional in first understanding where the pain was and identifying the likely root cause/s of it and then administering suitable treatment to the right parts of the body to alleviate the pain. He also provided me with some simple exercise routines so I can do them regularly at home and free up muscle stiffness and build strength to prevent the pain issues returning. I feel so much better now and would highly recommend Daniel to anyone who like me has struggled to find a solution. Dave G”

“Highly, highly recommend ! I could hardly walk with extremely bad knee pain that came on out of no where. Richard saw me the same day and was super knowledgable and worked some kind of magic that helped my knee recover in less than a week. I actually felt instantly better when I left! Thank you so much! Kat : )”

“I had been suffering from a constant intense headache on my left side of my head/neck since having covid 7 months ago. I had tried everything but nothing had worked until I had my first physio appointment with Mustafa. After just two appointments I couldn't believe the turn around in my health. I now have a monthly appointment to help keep the headaches at bay. Mustafa provides a very professional, knowledgeable, friendly service and I would definetely recommend him for Physio.”

“Can’t fault the team at Chew’s health - Jack’s treatment, the admin staff and the wider team are welcoming and efficient, and the facilities are fantastic. Having been told I would need major surgery and my hockey playing days may be over, I’m delighted to have made it back on to the hockey pitch last week following a tailored rehab program from Jack. There’s also the added bonus of onsite parking & later evening appointments. I would recommend Chews health without any hesitation - thank you to the whole team!”

“The Dog Walkers are just amazing. Darren & Viv are just so lovely and clearly have a great affinity with the dogs - our lab just adores going for his dog walks! They are always providing photos and updates, which is really fun and also reassuring to see our dog happily socialising. I honestly could not recommend them highly enough!”

“Nicole is brilliant with our dog. Her communication is excellent. When I have been in when she’s arrived to collect our dog he is so happy to see her! I would really recommend Nicole 100%!”

“1st session: Glyn from Cheshire Dog Services Ltd is amazing. Took us ages to pick our jaw up from the floor. We've got an 8 month old GSD who pulls on walks, doesn't listen to my wife at all, jumps up all the time in the house and on walks. In one session Glyn had him listening to his every word, waiting 15 minutes next to a pile of treats without eating them. He showed us how to get Samson to sit, lie down, wait at the door and how to get Samson to heel on his walks. He gave us clear commands to give Samson in various situations. It was amazing,. The next day I took Samson out for his walk, did what Glyn had told us and he walked to heel, wasn't as distracted by people and other dogs. A week on he's brilliant on walks. We both enjoy them a lot more, he heels, leaves other distractions behind him, no longer jumps at, or on people on his walks, and he doesn't try to pull your arm off when other dogs are around [to play with them] . He's a different dog, all thanks to Glyn. I cannot recommend Glyn and Cheshire Dog Services enough for what they have done for us and Samson. We're continuing to see Glyn to embed what we've learned so far and to enrich ours and Samson's future.”

“We have done two rooms now at the escape rooms and both were amazing. I honestly never thought of doing an escape rooms I'm quite an introvert but it's one of the best things I've done. We literally had the best time! If you're umming and ahhing let this be your sign to book it!”

“I can’t recommend my physiotherapy sessions highly enough. I came in with ongoing pain and weakness in my left hip and leg it was affecting my life during the day, sleeping and unfortunately I had to give up playing my tennis too because of the pain. Thanks to their expert care and tailored exercise plan I’m now back on court playing padel tennis again, pain-free and getting stronger every week. Every session was professional, supportive and genuinely effective. They took the time to understand the root of the problem and worked with me to rebuild strength and mobility step by step. I’m so grateful for the results — I honestly feel like I have my life back because I seriously thought nothing could be done unless I went down the surgery route. I can’t thank you enough”

“I went to see Gaby following a long period of knee pain and previous unsuccessful treatment from another clinician. Gaby was able to identify the issue and use effective treatment which quickly turned my chronic injury into full recovery within sessions. I would highly recommend Gaby for her competence, professionalism and overall service to anyone, including those suffering from a long-term injury.”

“Really good results. I’d had physio previously as I hadn’t been able to turn my head to the right for months and my neck was so sore. Stolios was really clear it would improve, would need 4/5 sessions and that doing the exercises was essential to recovery. After 2 weeks I was starting to doubt. By week 3 there was good progress, 4 sessions and we were done. Clear instructions to keep up the exercises. Seriously, life changing. Significantly reduced pain, and 90% + mobility. Thank you!”

“I had a problem with my neck and shoulder that was causing me a lot of debilitating pain. I booked into Marple Physio with Liz and I have to say that the treatment I received was first class. With Liz’s expert advice, magic hands and wisdom, in just a handful of sessions the pain and problem were no more. Following on from this treatment Liz recommended I try regular back, neck and shoulder massages to help prevent the problem reoccurring. She recommended Maria. Oh my days, Maria’s massages are beyond fantastic! I really look forward to the appointments and can definitely recommend them. I would without doubt recommend Marple Physio, the service is outstanding. Thank you so much Liz and Maria.”

“Great Team, providing everything promised and more in anticipation of overcoming an injury whilst progressing to preparation for the demands of a full ski season. A focused and tailored overall solution , many thanks to Emma , Hanya , Leah and Ben ...... truly brilliant and highly recommended.”

“Dom has helped me return from a serious back injury that I’d been suffering with for years and got me back on my feet and feeling better than ever. His knowledge and approach is the best I’ve experienced in my time and I owe him so much for helping me through my rehab journey. I’d fully recommend Dom to anyone who is looking to get back to full fitness after any injury, or just looking to get fitter and stronger.”

“My daughter loves the junior circus skills classes on Saturday mornings.”

“Blush is a very welcoming studio with friendly and encouraging instructors. Learning aerial hoop has been a great way to keep fit and build strength while also building confidence and having fun.”

“I came here a couple days ago and met Alan. He was absolutely amazing, addressed my issues within minutes and was immediately on my recovery. Lovely man, absolute gem. Made me feel very comfortable for my first sports massage. I will 100% be back to seen Alan.”

“Ben is absolutely amazing. We contacted him to do house visits with our 1.8 month old dog and our puppy as we were at work. Ben came every single day and spent a good while with our dogs, he kept us updated consistently and sent us pictures of our doggos. One time our puppy made a mess with the toilet paper and he was kind enough to tidy up. He has walked them and has helped with our older dog who is a bit barky with other dogs. You can tell he loves and understands dogs and it's reciprocal. Our older dog is very nervous around people and he took time to build up her trust. She now loves him and approaches him enthusiastically. Would 100% recommend him. He's extremely professional as he takes care of both yours and your dogs needs and is very flexible.”

“I initially chose T4 for knee pain as I could see from their website that their approach to treatment was to get to the root cause of the problem and offer natural treatments. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel at ease straight away. Nash prescribed a combination of physical therapy and physio led gym sessions to strengthen my muscles . Going to the gym wasn't something I would have considered before but giving me that initial push and encouragement was just what I needed. I was soon pain free and much stronger. I still have regular one to gym sessions and the health benefits to my whole body have been amazing. Mike is a brilliant coach and massage therapist. I have learned so much from him. I would definitely recommend T4 and wouldn't consider going anywhere else now.”

“I had no idea that Pilates would bring such amazingness into life! I love the teachers, the variety of exercises, the different levels available from beginner to advance. I love how I feel afterwards. My body is so much stronger, supple, flexible and without pain since I started at Equilibrium. I also feel and look slimmer and firmer and understand so much more about my body. Not only this but emotionally its a really healthy place - if I ever arrive feeling stressed with the day to day stuff that takes its toll, I always leave with this gone and feeling bright and cheery! I am SO GRATEFUL to Lindsey and the team for all their expertise, hard work and dedication. They are an amazing team. I would (and do) recommend it to everyone I can!!!”

“My son attended LSC Thorn Grove for a multisports holiday club and it was the first time he's ever been to any kind of summer camp provision before. He absolutely loved it and raved about trying out all the different sports. It was a great introduction to some new sports like dodgeball and cricket and he learned a lot. There were lots of other children there from his reception class which I think really helped. We'll be booking him in this summer for a few days too.”

“Best dance studio, with the bestest staff Daughter absolutely love goin TDS :)”

“Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.”

“Steve, excellent could hardly walk or stand. Only needed 3 sessions, have no problems now not even little niggles. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”
