Cannot recommend her enough”

“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!”

“Absolutely brilliant. If you are flying from Manchatten airport port. It's less expensive than booking the airport parking. Only slight downside. For a 6 am flight the shuttle bus doesn't run until 3:00 am. Even then veezu is around 20 quid.”

“Unbelievable help. Two sessions in i feel 90% better. Could not recommend enough”

“My mum and I have been coming to Lucy’s Pilates classes for a few months now, and we absolutely love it. Lucy is so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She makes us feel really comfortable at our classes, and provides a relaxing environment for them too. I 100% recommend Lucy for Pilates, and for her additional services as a physiotherapist.”

“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.”

“Will started at PPA 5 months ago. To say we have been delighted with his progress is an understatement. Neil, John and all the staff we have seen are wonderful with him. Although his main sport is golf, he also plays rugby & football and his strength and balance has increased no end. His confidence in his own body, physically and mentally, has improved significantly too. Will’s increase in his club head speed and improved posture have been noted by his golf coach and all this in just a short space of time. Thank you Lewis for setting up such a fabulous facility for young athletes to improve their strength, performance and reduce injury.”

“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!”

“Joined a couple of months ago and have started attending more regularly over the past couple of weeks. Couldn't meet a friendlier group of people, coaches and students a like. Everyones eager to help and supports development through banter and friendly guidance. Such a stark contrast to other gyms, which stopped me pursuing MMA in the past.”
