OPEX Fitness Bristol

Exercising has always been a challenge for me, even though I've tried various methods like different gyms, apps, and workout plans. Going to the gym has always felt like a tedious task. I’ve paid for 1-2-1 personal training before but I didn't see the point in paying someone to watch me warm up and stretch for most of the session! Opex is a game-changer, and for the first time I genuinely enjoy going to the gym. Danny and Milo are amazing, and the gym environment is inclusive and welcoming, which makes me feel comfortable and not intimidated like in other gyms. The coaches at Opex schedule monthly check-ins, but they are always available to help you through the app's messaging function or face-to-face. They listen to your goals, provide nutritional support, and are very encouraging and supportive. If you're looking for a gym that genuinely cares about your goals, supports your journey, and has a humble and friendly atmosphere, then I highly recommend Opex. More...

I've been working with PT's Milo and Danny, who have been hugely supportive and generally nice people to be around, which always helps! The programme has been tailored to what I'm looking to achieve, Milo is very knowledgeable and good at tailoring/listening/challenging in the right way. The gym set up itself is great, you have a station each so no need to worry about holding someone else up. The other people I've met using the gym have also been really friendly. I'd definitely recommend. More...

Danny and Milo are fantastic coaches. I’ve never been able to stick with any exercise plan before but they have made it easy. From full programming to monthly catch-ups that keep me on track it has been the simplest process I’ve ever gone on. They are super flexible when it comes to any issues I may have and have been really encouraging whenever I’ve struggled. The atmosphere at the gym is always fun and all the other members I’ve met have been welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough. More...

My experience with Opex is all positive. I joined September 2021 after years of trying numerous diets and exercises, but finding myself becoming bored easily. At Opex, having exercises tailored specifically to your needs and having your routine changed as you progress is a game changer. Danny is incredibly knowledgeable when talking through everything, from nutrition, to adapting my session if I'm not 100% on form. Having regular consultations, where we're able to discuss my achievements and what we could do moving forward helps me stay focused on what I want. I actually have fun, which I never would have thought possible. I'm much more motivated at Opex and booking in my sessions gives me the accountability I need. I really appreciate the support I've had on my journey so far. More...

I've been coming to Opex for about 10 months now and I can honestly say its one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've always struggled with trying to figure out gym routines, classes never really suited me, and I was horribly inconsistent with my workouts - I never made any progress in my fitness. Since joining Opex I've been transformed! I'm consistently in the gym at 6am three days a week. In 10 months I've missed one or two sessions due to illness but it's very rare. I travel for work regularly and it usually takes me weeks to get back to the gym again - but now I'll be back within days due to encouragement from the coaches. They have also been great at allowing me to pause my plan between my work schedule which is brilliant. Having a routine set for me has made the world of difference and the guidance you get from Milo and Danny is absolutely top. I've seen big changes in my body in terms of muscle gain and toning, and last year I ran my first half marathon with the help and guidance from Milo. The gym is well equipped and you always have someone on hand to spot you - so no hesitations in pushing yourself to reach higher goals. My biggest hesitation joining the gym was the cost. It's a bit of a step up from the £20 a month I was paying previously. But as I see it, before I was essentially flushing money down the drain, and now I am investing in my health and future. I didn't hesitate to sign up for another 6 months when my first 6 was over. More...

I have been working with the amazing and incredibly knowledgable coaches at Opex on a strength programme for 6 months now and I’m lifting more than I ever have! My 6am starts feel like a pleasure rather than a chore. A membership feels very personalised and having a workout space guaranteed after booking feels like a priceless luxury. All the other gym members have been very friendly and understand that each person who visits Opex is working to their own specific routine. More...

I really love how OPEX works- you work with a specific coach/trainer who listens to your goals and sets a workout and nutrition program for you, then when you choose when you come into the gym to complete your workout- with a coach always there to make sure your form is on point (or to shout encouragement on those tough sets). You track your progress and can share feedback to incorporate into the next week. There's a variety of people at OPEX all focusing on their own routine- whether it's cardio or Olympic weightlifting or deadlifts. The community, accountability, friendly atmosphere are all great too. I am stronger than ever before and am happy that I found this place! More...

Milo and Danny really know their stuff - way beyond usual gym trainers. Experts in their fields (strong science/bio-mechanical backgrounds) they help you to understand yourself, in terms of what supports your growth, or what holds you back, both physically and mentally. They look at the whole of you - not just your muscles! This impact lasts. I've learnt consistency (this is a first!), patience when knock backs happen, bounce-back after viruses, and all with a lightness that means my heart never sinks when I go to the gym because it's always an adventure.

I have been training at Opex for just under 5yrs, and I have to say it has such a welcoming environment, it really isn't like commercial gyms. The coaches are amazing and really know their stuff, my training has always been specifically designed for me as an individual, to help me reach my goals. I would highly recommend people to get in touch with Opex Bristol. FYI - I did try another gym a year ago, I left for 6mths and then returned to Opex! :) More...

Absolutely loving my time time OPEX fitness. Great team and I always feel welcomed when I come in for my sessions.

I've been a member of OPEX Bristol since I hurt my back November 2019. I approached them as I'd heard really good things about them from some of my Pilates clients(I'm a Pilates Teacher). I absolutely love going to OPEX, my exercise plan is tailor made to my needs and is always evolving and progressing. I go to OPEX 4 or 5 times a week, the training programme is smartly written so that I never feel exhausted. Tailor made every week to suit my needs and goals, it is always evolving and progressing, pushing me gently out of my confort zone. I've enjoyed getting out of pain and now working on my strength amd resiliance to walk a marathon in April and run a half marathon in July. The OPEX trainers were amazing throughout the pandemic of 2020 and wrote me a program and loaned me equipment so that I could train during lockdowns and now I'm back on site training in a safe environment. Being a trainer myself makes me quite specific about the qualities I want from a coach and gym, OPEX fulfiles them all. Danny, James, Milo and Maddie, thanks so much for taking care of me when I was broken and making me stronger(and 8kg lighter). Elle. More...

Modern gym/trainers have adapted with clients needs in the last decade or so - offering free online classes for members, looking at their rates, plus pausing memberships during these covid times. I would have stayed with Opex Bristol, but the Opex brand forgets it is a people business and if they want clients to stay loyal and to justify it's high membership fee - it could/should be doing something to warrant that loyalty. Opex Bristol development needs are to provide a true personal programme for its clients that is worth the premium fee. Lovely people and started off well, but I wont be going back. More...

Before working with OPEX Bristol I was overtraining, training 10 hours a week, getting little injuries, continually tired and frustratingly not getting the results my efforts deserved. OPEX Bristol gave me structure to my training, worked on my imbalances helping me overcome injuries and this has allowed me to progress immensely. The overriding benefit it that my training now supplements my life allowing me to do far more than I used to be able to do both socially and in work. More...

I'd been "going to the gym" for a few years but never really felt like I was making much progress. Motivation and consistency have always been a problem, regular injuries didn't help the situation either, so I decided to try working with OPEX Bristol, and I'm very glad I did. My training programme is now not just about lifting heavy objects, but carrying out a range of movements and exercises that are building up the weak parts of my body to correct years of imbalance. I'm now making progress in my training sessions, which helps me to maintain consistency with the things I eat, leading to the weight loss I was looking for.The wealth of knowledge and experience on-hand is incredible and delivered in a caring, friendly, and fun manner. I cannot recommend them highly enough! More...

I started working with OPEX Bristol a few months ago to help focus my training for CrossFit. I was overtraining, doing classes and adding on additional skill / strength work. I didn't feel I was making much progress and wanted to work towards some competitions. Since working with James at OPEX Bristol, my training is much more structured, I have more energy and I'm amazed how much progress I've made. My strength has improved more in the last few months than years of training by myself, I feel fitter and my gymnastics is improving massively. Having individualised programming is a game changer, be it to get fitter, stronger or work on imbalances. OPEX Bristol will help you set achievable goals and direct your programming towards them. Our monthly consultations let us discuss my training load, and if any training or nutrition changes need to be made to suit my current circumstances. The coaches are always available during the open gym sessions, but you have the social benefit of training alongside others (that you wouldn't get with a PT). The coaching team at OPEX Bristol have such a wealth of knowledge that would benefit anyone, be it an athlete or someone completely new to fitness. More...

I started working with OPEX Bristol at the beginning of the year and they have completely changed my training and general health. Despite being in and out of gyms for years, I've never had real consistency and have been plagued by both injuries and loss of motivation. Since working with OPEX, I am stronger, fitter, healthier and more motivated than ever before. The coaches have such an in-depth knowledge and are capable of articulating this to clients at any level. Whether you just want to be told what to do or want to understand the science and reasoning behind your programme (and everything in between), OPEX Bristol's coaches can give you what you need. They have helped me transform my training, diet and sleep and as a result I am happier and far less stressed. When I first joined OPEX, I was concerned that I would completely lose the social aspect that was so important to me when participating in group classes. This couldn't be further from the truth - training with OPEX Bristol gives me both the benefits of individualised programming whilst training in a really fun environment in a great community where egos are left at the door. Whether you're new to fitness or an experience athlete, there is a place for you at OPEX Bristol. More...

Since starting with OPEX Bristol, my whole outlook on training and my lifestyle have changed. Before starting with a personalised program and working one on one with a coach I was in the gym nearly every day exhausting myself. I always thought the more I did and the less I ate the better. I started working with James at OPEX Bristol and I have never been fitter or stronger. Working one on one with a coach has allowed me to target weaknesses (physical and psychological) that I wouldn't always be able to work on in a normal gym environment. The biggest difference with OPEX Bristol to any other gym I have trained at is the ability of the coaches to change their coaching and programming style to suit each individual. There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ mentality which I believe sets OPEX Bristol above different gyms and training styles. More...
