“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joining Nuffield Health Stoke has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wellbeing. The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and welcoming—but what’s truly made the difference are Kellie’s BodyCombat and Bodypump classes. Kellie is an outstanding instructor. Her energy, encouragement, and clear guidance make every session feel empowering. Whether you’re punching through a tough Combat routine or pushing through reps in Pump, she creates an atmosphere that’s both motivating and inclusive. Since joining, my confidence has grown massively. I feel stronger, more capable, and genuinely excited to show up each week. Kellie’s classes have helped me push past limits I didn’t know I had—and I always leave feeling proud of what I’ve achieved.”

Since then she has come on leaps and bounds. She loves her swimming lessons and is now a confident swimmer without armbands and floats. All the staff are very patient and clearly care about the swimmers in their care. The extra mermaid classes in the school holidays are great fun. Excellent communication and clearly expectations in terms of payment of fees and holding of places. Definitely recommend.”

“Shinka Jujitsu Academy is the perfect place to learn how to defend yourself, grow in confidence, and to improve your physical and mental fitness. Fed up of being intimidated by uncomfortable encounters around the city, I wanted to learn some self-defence and so decided to try Shinka Jujitsu Academy. From the first session, I was immediately made to feel welcome. Instead of walking into the macho, intimidating environment I was worried about (especially as a woman with spaghetti arms!), I was surprised to find a supportive community made up of students of all ages and genders. Dave, or Sensei Dave, uses his decades of jujitsu experience to help students learn and achieve their personal goals- whether it be to compete, gain belts, master self-defence or simply improve their fitness and confidence. Shinka's instructor offers a great blend of discipline, practical training, and patience all packaged with a hint of terrible dad jokes! Thanks to Shinka Jujitsu Academy for helping me gain confidence, as well as improve my asthma and overall fitness! If you want to learn to stand tall, to have the self-confidence to know you can protect yourself, and to have fun whilst doing so, Shinka Jujitsu Academy is the place for you.”

“This was my first time witnessing ballroom in real and live action~ quite frankly, I’ve never experienced anything like it! The atmosphere was incredible! Everyone was so kind, caring, and woven with such genuine passion- I am lost for words! I didn’t even dance, but with every incredibly created dress, dance and character that whizzed past- all coming together with so many stories to tell and to watch unravel, reveal and experience form the sides, through every fleet- pleat and ember- absolutely swooned and took me away in its lift for hours- euphoric! So deeply moving and passionate, as if I was the one dancing with them- it makes you want to just get up and dance! The Quick Quick Slow dance studio alike were very warm and welcoming- even for a newbie like myself who had no idea what to expect- and this goes for competitors alike! I was ushered in and enlightened with how some of the dances were conceived- what moves meant- even how it felt to feel them too; an insight that elevated with every show-stopping event I witnessed! So much encouragement and unreal passion! This has been an experience that I’ve waited to see for years- all the way from little ‘ol Shrewsbury too~ I even awoke the next morning with effervescent dreams of joyous jives and swinging like a serenade under a new lover’s light- ballroom; roaring and revelling in the tunes for hours on end! I’ll definitely be back again! I hope so too. The only downside was that I knew I eventually had to go back home! :)”
