Mind Over Matter Fitness and Nutrition

Love this place! I went as I was feeling very middle-aged and out of shape, and it has been so brilliant. Wonderful trainers, who push you just the right amount (and notice as soon as you slack off even a touch! ), and a really nice group of people who attend. Everyone is supportive and friendly, no matter if they are an experienced gym-goer or a total newbie with no fitness experience at all. The workouts are varied and I am already seeing a real difference. It is flexible to book, and the app makes tracking your progress easy to do. It is quite expensive, so I wondered if it could be justified - but I have no qualms about having made the decision, and will go for as long as possible. I genuinely look forward to going, and it makes such a change from struggling through a run or half-heartedly doing an online workout. Highly recommend! More...

Joined a little over four months ago and I'm very happy at Hall Training, and I look forward to every session! The PTs are encouraging and motivating and they create a great atmosphere to train. I've never had much patience or motivation for weights training but that's all changed since I joined. I love how the programme changes frequently and remains challenging week to week. At the same time, it's a safe and welcoming atmosphere, regardless of your fitness levels - I feel neither pressured nor self conscious, unlike other gym environments. The app to track progress is a great took to keep me motivated. Can't recommend highly enough. More...

Joining Hall Personal Training has been genuinely life-changing. Thanks to the team’s motivational and energising 4-on-1 personal training sessions, I’ve become stronger and fitter ― and I look forward to every session, knowing I’ll always be encouraged to do my best. The trainers go above and beyond to create a supportive and non-judgmental space for everyone. And on top of the brilliant training, Georgey’s nutritional advice has been amazing ― because of her realistic and sustainable suggestions I’ve lost over 11kg in 6 months. I feel healthier and more aware of the importance of nutrition than ever before. Thank you, Georgey! I’d hugely recommend Hall Personal Training to everyone ― it's the perfect environment to build healthy habits and become fitter and stronger. More...

Since joining Hall PT 6 months ago I can happily say the team and training environment they create is so warm, welcoming and friendly that I am excited every morning to get in at 6am and train. The team with whom I have had the pleasure of being trained by, George, Matt, Becky, Georgie and Chris have all managed me within the small group ensuring my technic is correct to enable a fulfilling and safe session. Also the regular monthly one to one assessment with George is very well structured and is teaching me how to manage diet and review the training is correct for me. Fabulous overall 👍🏼 More...

This training only works if you can lift weights. If for any reason, e.g. injury you cannot, no alternative is offered. No exercise machines at the gym, no aerobic/cardio exercises, no exercises at all without weights. I specified my shoulder hypermobility in the initial phone call (and was told we could work round it) and online form but for my mouvemrent assessment, the trainer had no idea - she mispronounced it twice. Sorry guys but you should be clearer about what you offer and how limited your staff knowledge of anatomy/physiology is. Becky, the trainer, offered to refund the fees I had paid because the training offered at Hall Personal Training was for normal people (her very own words). The refund was done very promptly.

I would highly recommend Hall Training to anyone who is looking to progress their fitness and enjoy themselves whilst doing it.

I have been at Hall Training for almost two years now and they have been so amazing not only with helping me reach my training goals but also with teaching me about nutrition.

So my goal was to get fitter and feel better. That was all. I'd not done any meaningful exercise for a few years. The last couple of pandemic years had been tough for everyone and I'm no different. I knew I needed the motivation to get going again and Hall Personal Training had been on my radar for a while. So a couple of months ago I finally picked up the courage to join the trial period and was impressed by the response and approach from all the Hall team. The trial period started and I haven't looked back. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. Everyone I've met there understands that you've got to start somewhere. The training times suit me and booking system is easy to use. The app is great and plots your progress for you. There are regular competitions to keep you engaged. They also have great support for nutrition too to help you along and fuel your progress. The sessions can be tough for me, but I get so much out of them. I really feel like I've made progress after every visit. This is not a gym where you turn up and plod along. Sometimes I've hit the limit and the trainers have been great, but I've always made progress. All the trainers are very approachable and listen. They push when they can see you can do more, but are not OTT. Which is great for me. I think they'd push a lot more if that's what I wanted. I'm only a couple of months in but I feel the benefits already. I'm looking forward to continuing with regular visits. Also planning on visiting the new building in Deddington, which looks amazing, when I can. In summary. If you want to invest in yourself, but are struggling with motivation I'd recommend calling Hall, having a chat and giving a trial a go. More...

I couldn’t recommend Hall Personal Training enough. It has been the best gym experience that I’ve ever had, however, Hall PT isn’t comparable to the usual, impersonal gym environment. Their gym is very well equipped and maintained, the clever small-group training concept makes personal training both affordable and highly effective, and their time slots accommodate everyone's schedule. I really appreciate that health always comes first before shape. All the trainers are extremely competent (and up to date with science) in terms of exercise (what kind of and how to), correct alignment and movement execution, and nutrition to support you in achieving your individual health/ fitness/ performance goals in a very motivating and enthusiastic way. I’ve learned so much from them in all those regards; I wish I had known in my teens already. They are also just very lovely people to work with, as is their community. I have always so much fun training there, which is another major reason why I keep going. More...

I joined Hall Training nearly two years ago on the recommendation of my then PT, who was moving to London. I have had memberships at other gyms but I think Hall Personal Training is unique for a few reasons. First, sessions are usually either two to a trainer or four to a trainer, depending on your membership. This means you work out with other people who can be at a different stage in their fitness journey and you get to learn a lot more by seeing that, as well as having the attention of your trainer. Second, the training sessions are on a common rotation so if you have three sessions booked for the week, you can get an upper, quad and hams session. The routines change each week and build towards a testing week every few months. What this means is that you become more proficient at the different exercises but you don’t get bored and you can see and monitor your improvement using the logging app. Third, the trainers really personalise the sessions to you and your journey – this is very important to me as a middle-aged woman who’s looking to build strength and maintain flexibility rather than train to support a sport or lose weight. Some other points, you get to know the trainers and they know you so it’s a real relationship and they are incredibly friendly as well as being knowledgeable about all things fitness and nutrition. The gym itself has great equipment and lovely private shower/changing rooms and parking is easy. Overall, during my time at the gym, I’ve improved my upper body strength, developed my form and have a much better understanding of my own body and what I need to work on to future proof myself. I have also felt supported by all the trainers in challenging myself to use gym equipment and weights that I wasn’t confident in doing before. Finally, there is a real community atmosphere at the gym with socials including some epic Zoom quiz events during the lockdown. More...

The team at Hall have been helping me train for around 8 months now, and I can't recommend them enough. If like me you want to be stronger, but aren't motivated enough to go to a gym or you feel intimidated by the weights area, Hall may be the perfect answer. The entire team are amazing, and I'm seeing great results already. I've been a cyclist and runner for ages but for the first time I can see muscles in my arms and shoulders too! Every trainer has their own style, but all of them have a great eye for detail and really know their stuff. They cajole, encourage and push you to safely do more than you would on your own and they make every visit fun and rewarding. Overall they are a lovely bunch of people. This is not a gym. But it might just be the best thing you ever did for your health. More...

My wife and I joined Hall at the beginning of the year and are so glad we did. Throughout lockdown we had daily virtual sessions with on hand advice and support to keep focussed and motivated through a difficult time. Once gyms opened up again we then started on the Hall programmes and are both training now in a way we never would have been able to do on our own. We really enjoy the community feel of the gym and feel that we are part of something rather than just members of a gym. The Personal Trainers are dedicated, enthusiastic and, more importantly, know their stuff. A brilliant set up. More...

I have been training with Hall for two years now and I absolutely love it. I am so much stronger than I was before I started, and I really look forward to the time I spend there. All of the trainers have a great balance between encouraging you to work harder than you ever thought you could, but without pushing you too far. As someone with a previous serious injury, I always feel like I am in safe hands. The PTs are all really friendly, as are the members there, so it always feels like a friendly, welcoming place to be. I think it is great value for money given the level of support and expertise you get. I was previously spreading my time and money across three different gyms/fitness providers, and I much prefer the time I spend at Hall and the results are massively better. The one month trial is a great way to get a really good taster of what they can offer. More...

I've been with training Hall Personal Trainers now for over 4 months. I can honestly say its been one of the best decisions I've made for my health. As someone who has always struggled to stay motivated to exercise, particularly on my own, compounded by the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, I was seriously out of shape at the beginning of the year. I was also very reluctant to make any kind commitment to a membership since I'm inclined to get bored, run out of enthusiasm and then eventually stop going altogether. I knew I needed something different. I needed something that demanded effort and at the same time offered a sociable atmosphere to keep me engaged. With Hall Personal Training I believe I've found it. It's a wonderfully sociable gym. It's smart, clean and well-run. The trainers are brilliant and, with no-more than 4 people in each group session, I know I'm going to get coaching and encouragement for each exercise. I especially enjoy the friendliness of this gym. I spend most of my sessions with Sabrina, she's easy-going, knowledgeable and patient, pushing me just enough each time. Although, to be honest, the whole team is excellent in this way. So 4 months down the line, still going 3 times a week, I leave the gym sweaty and satisfied every time. And, okay it's expensive but, I'm fitter, sharper and healthier. Oh, and my husband is loving the results too. More...

I have been training with Hall Personal Training for 3 months now. I had been looking for a proper gym, not one with 20 running machines and 40 machines I didn't have any use for. Here you are in small groups, no more that 4 with a trainer to assist, guide help and push you to do your very best form and technique in every exercise. I wanted to build strength but don't have enough room at home to store all the fabulous lifting kit they have there.( and I would definitely not push myself to use it either!) I also don't have the expertise each and every trainer has to put together a range of exercise to work each area of my body and not let me get bored, stale or sore! If I have ever had a sore bit they will swap that out for something else. You can use their nutritional knowledge too if weight loss is part of your journey. you can set goals and get all the support you need to succeed. The training team are just bloomin' brilliant, I look forward to going there every time also know I will be made super welcome and its always a great laugh. the other people who train there are also a great bunch, we are all in it together and sometimes its familiar faces and sometimes people you have never met before but we all push each other along. There is a great social life too. It's an all round proper good training establishment! Best thing I could have done for myself. What are you waiting for.....Join Immediately!!!!! More...

Groups of 4 train with a very knowledgeable and encouraging trainer.

I start my review with the day I visited the Hall Training studio in Kidlington for the first time. I had made contact with their team a couple of days earlier through social media. Expressed my interest in training with them, but before going ahead with things, I wanted to visit their space and ask a few questions. They kindly offered me a tour on a Saturday after the last training session of the day. Becky showed me the studio, talked me through what type of service they were offering, how the membership worked, etc. She was very professional, friendly and made sure all my queries were answered before I signed up. I felt well received and excited with joining their gym. It has been 5 months now. I have trained with almost every personal trainer in the team, been able to use the other study in Deddington as well, and my opinion stays the same as when I left after Becky’s tour: Here you will find a friendly place to train, a sense of community, and dedicated personal trainers that will look after you, support your progress and help you achieving your goals. Cheers to a great team! More...
