SC vital fitness is far from just a gym! A community of people coming together with the same passion for fitness,nutrition and lifestyle change.
Over the two years I have been here I have been truly blessed for how they have helped me inside the gym but mainly outside! Sean and his team have built a community they should forever be proud of.
Joining SC Vital has been life changing for me! The coaches will never truly understand what they have done for me since I’ve joined. Thank you all. I will be with you forever

Normally I hate going to gyms and think of excuse after excuse not to go, or only do the bare minimum to try to justify the cost. This gym is like none I have ever been to - I actually look forward to going!!! I am not sure exactly what is the best bit - the friendships I have formed from the small group coaching, and the coaches are great. Even though the coaching is in small groups (max 4) it is still all personalised, and it is this personal touch that really makes this place different. The coaches all really know you. More...

The best motivational gym in the county of Hampshire, top class facility which is well kitted out & clean. The coaches are very knowledgeable & will inspire you to improve your level of fitness.

I’m so glad I found this place. It’s rescued me from cardio world. Never in a million years did I think a gym could give me so much enjoyment, energy and enthusiasm to train. The coaches are upbeat and always friendly and encouraging , they totally know their stuff and back it up with the most vigilant efforts to ensure everybody at each each session are using excellent form. That even included a large circuits class . It’s a friendly non judgemental environment where anybody will feel comfortable. I’m loving this journey and long may it continue ! More...

I have been going to SC Vital Fitness for about 10 months now. I have lost 10kg of body fat in that time and am much fitter than when I started. This gym is very welcoming and friendly, it doesn’t matter what age or shape you are. You are always made to feel very welcome by the coaches and other clients. My mobility and strength has improved under the professional guidance and support of the coaches. I thoroughly enjoy each session and I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. More...

The best gym! Really supportive, fun environment to train in. It doesn’t matter whether you’re super fit or super unfit, the excellent coaches will cater for everyone in small group personal training sessions. Injury rehabilitation is also taken really seriously to get you pain-free and fit again. More...

The environment created by all the coaches is unique & special. Yes, the training & coaching is excellent and they are always encouraging you to strive for more which is backed up with so much advice & support via social media. But it's the camaraderie and smiles on faces that can't be replicated, in my opinion, anywhere else. More...

Sc vital fitness gave me the ability to understand nutrition in a basic and effective way ( no super shake or Christiano Ronaldo super pills) My aim was to add weight and in 7 months i gained 5. 6kg of muscle and dropped body fat down to 10.9% . The best thing about being a member at SC is that the coaches adapt everything to your ability. They know when to push you and know how far they can push you without you breaking away from correct form.i recommend SC to anybody because it isn’t just a gym it’s a lifestyle change More...

This is first class facility with knowledgeable & friendly coaches who listen to your goals and guide you in a down to earth and honest way to achieving them. this has been the most welcoming gym I’ve encountered with an ethos that permeates in both the members and the coaches. The coaches are so supportive and they know when to push and when to regress movements. This is my first time using small group training and they are quick to ensure that the movement is suitable for the client and will immediately adjust it. Their guidance has enabled me to attain goals I thought weren’t possible and how to aim higher. Yes its work hard but it’s always fun More...

It's hard to put in a written review how awesome this place is! I've spent years and years searching for the magic secret to losing weight, trying anything and everything on the market to get me there. .. Absolutely nothing worked long term, it was all too restrictive, too time consuming or just bloody dull. I joined up to SC Vital Fitness in yet another in a long line of attempts... And I've finally found the secret... Except it's not magic and it's not difficult or dull. This place and its' incredible coaches, with their dedication, encouragement and honesty have completely changed me. Mostly my mindset. I feel strong, more confident, I sleep better, I'm less tired in the day time and above all, I'm more accountable. My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner. Within a week of starting the Ultim8 I knew I was going to keep it up.... That has never happened to me before!! It's a big supportive family and I'm so happy to be a new family member!! Thank you Sean and your team for being bloody awesome!!!! More...

If you try this gym you’ll never Look back. The coaches make every session fun ,safe and push you to be the best you can be. I’ve not only felt results physically but mentally (I feel 100% better after previously suffering with depression) . Nutrition is also a priority here ( no fad diets) and regular inbody scans help massively in keeping focused and balanced. “My zone” monitors the progress and you can see your personal performance on a screen throughout the session as well as keep a record on an app on your phone. Doesn’t matter what age or fitness level you are you’ll always leave a session feeling invigorated . I can honestly say I’ve never been to a gym where coaches are so talented , warm and humorous. Also team members will are welcoming and supporting . What else can you ask for More...

Hi guys just a short note to say thank you for my first session back after three months. I was thinking about how wrecked I was but how much I loved it and how great I feel now. So here’s my conclusion, despite running, cycling and going to the gym a little bit I wasn’t able to compete with the Intensity and structure as well as motivation that this gym family brings, that’s the value add of SC Viral Fitness and what value it is, I could see just from my first session back how much I’ve lost being away but the atmosphere and the family feeling in the gym leave me knowing that I’ll get it all back and more, that’s why this is the best gym in the south and why I commend it highly to everyone. Thanks guys. More...

The knowledge, professionalism and expertise of the coaching team far outweighs anything I've experienced at any other gym. The advice on fitness, lifestyle and nutrition I've received has been fantastic while the coaches also encourage each and every member to set and achieve their own goals. On top of that the environment they have created at SC VItal makes the facility an enjoyable place to train where not just the coaches, but also the members, support and encourage each other too.

What inspired you to start your own business?
At the age of 29 I was a pissed off Royal Navy PTI, a single dad of 1, who was trying to make things work, I was bloated, depressed, drank too much and just wanted to leave the RN…. But I stayed and decided to get out of a rut and use the last few years of my career from the age of 31 to make something of myself…i looked at the best way to get out of this rut and used this experience to open a gym and help people just like me,
