I have known Sean since 2012 and have trained with him on a regular basis since then.
On our first meeting I was immediately impressed by his very professional and enthusiastic approach to his work.
He was interested to know what training I had been doing and what were my perceived fitness strengths and weaknesses.
At the time I was concentrating on my core and flexibility with some cardio thrown in.
To be honest I was finding that training on my own was becoming a bit tedious and I was starting to lose motivation.
My training with Sean changed all that. No two fitness sessions are the same. New core, flexibility, cardio, and strength training exercises (particularly upper body) are constantly being introduced with guidance and advice as to why I am doing them.
Every twelve weeks I am given a personal fitness test which includes the recording of various statistics, this is a very useful guide as to how well or not my fitness is progressing.
In 2019 I suffered a minor setback when diagnosed with a lower back problem, this meant that I had to make changes to my training program. Sean advised me what course of action to take and devised a new fitness plan to compensate for the problem. This has been very beneficial and I have been able to successfully maintain my fitness levels.
Sean is also prepared to go the extra mile outside of the personal training sessions by giving advice on dietary, performance and lifestyle improvements and how to deal with minor health and injury issues.
During the recent lockdowns he voluntarily supplied me with various fitness programs that could be done at home.
In conclusion, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sean.
He has the ability to get the best out of people, but also the ability to recognize when he is maybe pushing them too far.
He is an excellent Personnel Trainer, he always has the best interests of his clients at the forefront of everything he does.

I started working with Sean 9 years ago on a 1:1 basis following Bilateral hip replacements. After a year I joined his bootcamp sessions.
The exercises in the 1:1 sessions were perfect for strengthening my legs and back as well as flexibility. They were expertly tailored for me by Sean (with a good dose of humour and patience which Sean has) and the improvement I experienced was positive from day 1.
The bootcamp sessions are fun, very varied, and you get a good sense of working hard even though you are working within your own range of abilities. However if there's an exercise that you can't manage Sean will help you with excellent advice or something alternative. The sessions are friendly and supportive. The progress that I have achieved with Sean's help and encouragement of others has allowed me to take part in 2 Rocket Races. Come and join the sessions. You won't be disappointed.

My daughter had a dance fusion party today and I couldn't recommend it more! The lady who did the dance with them was fantastic and was lovely to watch it at the end. They all learnt so much and had the best time. The staff with the food were also brilliant and very attentive. Was a very stress free party for us as the staff said to leave all the clearing up for them! Will definitely be looking to book again! Thank you so much for a fantastic party More...

As new members we would like to express how pleased we are with The Junction and the classes provided. Since joining this month we have been fully involved with Functional Fitness, Pure Stretch, Zumba Gold AND PiYo on Friday morning which is such a highlight and great end to our week. Being able to attend these classes during daytime is a major bonus and a reason for us joining The Junction. The gym facilities are superb, we could not ask for any more equipment. More...

Work commitments mean that opportunities to keep in shape are few and far between and I am not the most motivated gym goer. Sean and his team however, have motivated me to get in shape with a varied routine of strength training and cardio activities and already I feel much fitter! More...

I would recommend the gym and it’s great value for money but the down side is that you can’t pre-book classes but yet when you turn up some classes are full! I arrived to today at 5.45 for a 6pm class to be told it’s full & this is because people turn up up to an hour before the class starts to secure a place. Well that’s great if you don’t have a job wasn’t impressed at all! I don’t see why they can’t have a booking system to accommodate for people who work or have children and don’t have an hour to to waste sitting around waiting for a class to start! More...

A huge thank you to Karen, Russell and the team for my son Finlay’s 6th party. With over 40 children (!) we hired the upstairs function room. Karen made the whole booking process very smooth, and Russell and his family provided hot food platters for the masses! Russell made a party which could have been stressful, fun and enjoyable! Thank you! Fin loved it! More...

Attended here for years. Warm inviting pool, fully equipped gym, tennis courts, vast selection of fitness classes given all day + evenings, by incredibly motivating instructors – so much so that you want to attend all their classes. Saunas, showers (with soap dispensers!), a licensed bar and café/coffee shop and a child’s soft play area. Plus much more… To top it all, the other members are friendly, chatty and talk to you! This is all for £16.66 a month!!!!!! (upfront fee). However, if you feel you need something more 'polished with gold trimmings' and attend a club where people have ‘all the gear and no idea’ and not as friendly, I’m sure you could find something else very near for £80+ a month :) More...

The centre itself is good, a little run down in places but still good. The cafe is less than impressive however, there always seems to be an issue with equipment and staffing is very low. Definitely could be improved.

I have been going to boxing circuits run by Sean on a Saturday morning . I learnt about his classes from a colleague and thought I would give it a go - after I had run out of excuses ! I can honestly say I absolutely love it , Sean is great , motivational, never condescending and really knowledgeable. There is always a variation from the previous week and so never boring . It’s great fun - give it a go and don’t make excuses . More...

Would just like to say a positive for the cafe. Considering due to very difficult allergies it is nearly impossable to eat out. The cafe on thursday went above and beyond so that I was able to eat with my family and friends. Relaxed atmosphere but highly effective in caring for my needs. Thank you guys! You brightened my week ! More...

It's a great place to take the kids. Has a lovely soft play area and a greabswimming pool that is has always been warm when we've gone. It also has a big hall that can be hired out, last time we were there it was for a 3rd brithday party with bouncy castles. It also has a cafe over looking the swimming pool so you can watch your kid have a swimming lesson. Lots more than just a gym which is probably the only thing I haven't used. More...

Been to one session of the bootcamp and felt straight at home. Sean and his team were constantly talking to and reassuring everyone throughout the session. I think the biggest praise I can give is that I was shocked when he said there was one minute left of the session. 45 flew by and can tell that I've worked hard. Am very much looking forward to the next session. Would highly recommend More...

Excellent facilities in a great location! The reception staff for the most part are cheerful and courteous. The PT and gym staff are highly knowledgeable and always take time to listen and understand each clients individuals needs and goals.
They are each an inspiration. The classes are nothing short of superb and often are packed out. Safety is a top priority for all staff.
Unfortunately there is one thing that needs attention.
Overall, a very well run establishment with realistic charges where the atmosphere is fun and relaxed but with a very strong emphasis on hard work in order to achieve each persons personal goals and where health, well being and SAFETY are top priorities.
