I started with Darren at FitFunActive a few months ago, and I am loving it so much! Tailored training in a small group environment, working on my fitness goals alongside a super friendly bunch of people. Darren is super knowledgeable and knows everything about every single muscle that sometimes it sounds like he is speaking another language, but the results speak for themselves! He is super kind while motivating you to WORK! Love going every week, my fitness future is looking good 😊 More...

FitFunActive is the place to go for your 1-2-1 personal training experience. Altesse is a very knowledgeable PT, who guided me very well throughout. His calm personality puts you at ease. For a person who doesn't enjoy exercise, he pushed me in the right direction each and every session and listened to my concerns with great detail. I had to make myself go, but each week, I attended my session and enjoyed as much as I could. If your looking for a relaxed atmosphere, all the equipment you need to train, with no judgement but just help and encouragement then get yourself to this gym. Thanks Altesse, much appreciated x More...

I've been doing the small group PT for about 4 months and could not possibly be any happier. Darren is a fantastic trainer for any possible goal. There are max 6 in each class, each with their own training program, that changes weekly, focused on their specific goal. Darren handles everything from massive strength gains, to injuries and rehab, weight loss, or sports performance. Really interesting to see how tailored each program is. I had been strength training for a few years but have seen big improvements in my strength and form. I think the price is extremely fair for how personalised and small the classes are. Darren, and all the coaches, are all really nice, and coach in a very positive way. You won't leave here feeling bad about yourself. Atmosphere in the group is lovely too, nice mix of people from the area. Everyone gets on with their own thing but is happy to be there and really friendly. Highly, highly recommend. More...

I really recommend PT group lessons with Grace. She is really motivating in a fun way and I like the dynamic of a group class rather than one to one. I still get lots of input from Grace on what to work on and how to get to my goals but in a more relaxed atmosphere. She's also really flexible in terms of when I can't make sessions.

I've been training with Grace for over 9 months and can safely say she has totally changed my mindset towards exercise. Before Grace I was too intimidated to go in a gym and I felt totally clueless with where and how to start my fitness journey. She's helped me to see that confidence comes from so much more than just losing weight. Grace really takes the time to get to know you as a person and our sessions are something I really look forward to every week. Thank you Grace for all your help it really has changed my life for the better! More...

Three months before my wedding I reached out to Fit Fun Active. After my consultation, Altesse quickly set-up a personalised plan for me and we started the following week. All of the trainers at Fit Fun Active are incredibly motivational, supportive and experienced. Each session is different to keep it interesting and they’re always a good mix of challenging yourself whilst feeling totally supported and comfortable to do so. My brilliant experience has helped to totally change my attitude towards fitness - I didn’t exercise much before but I now miss it if I can’t make one of the sessions!

I have been training with Darren since last summer. I started with 1-2-1 sessions and then progressed to group PT. Darren is an extremely positive and motivational presence, he has been incredibly supportive of my ever-changing work pattern and adapted around my lifestyle. I used to think of exercise as a way to lose weight and burn calories but Darren has changed my mindset about how I think about exercise and my attitude towards it. It is now not only a means to lose weight but to feel better mentally AND physically. I have seen a vast improvement on my mood, concentration and general fitness since training with Darren. I have had a few setbacks but Darren is always there to assist you getting back on track and keeping you focused. Most importantly the workouts are fun and creative. Each week the exercises are switched up and present a new positive challenge. The group I train with are also a lovely, friendly group of people of mixed ability.

I first heard of FFA when invited to join a couch to 5k training session that Darren and Ali organised for free. I was very unfit at that point and after 12 sessions and through the confidence and progressive training was able to complete this within 20 minutes. Unwilling to give up my new found fitness and all the benefits it brings I now and for the past 2 years attend a weekly session with either 2 or 1 other like minded fitness partner, Darren matched us and we are a very good fit. We were not looking to become marathon runners, just wanting to counter balance our lives and stay fit and healthy but needing that weekly motivation to do so. With Darrens encouragement and nutritional advice and personalised approach I think we have actually smashed our expectations. I would say I am fitter now than 20 years ago, Darren has made me realise that I am fitter and stronger than I thought and I don't think I would have pushed myself without his guidance. The gym in Deptford is always fun and friendly and supportive but the online support and classes throughout the pandemic has been incredible. Darren and the team so quickly and creatively adapted to create a community where our fitness needs and development were considered. Who knew you could get a great workout with a chair and two tins of beans. The affects of which have been far reaching. If you are looking for a Personal Trainer or small group training or joining any online sessions I wouldn't hesitate in reaching out to these guys. Added Nov 2021 I wanted to add to my previous review as have been training with Grace once a week since the beginning of lock down when I wanted to make use of the virtual classes. Grace, like Darren changes the format and work out constantly so it never feels stale. Even virtually, Grace understands individuals strengths and is able to get the best out of everyone and easily adapts each exercise to cater for every fitness level but I always feel pushed. Her classes are so enjoyable and beneficial, I have felt my fitness levels go from strength to strength and can not wait to train with her in real life. She is a great trainer, always positive and always supportive and very funny which is a bonus! More...

I started PT with Darren about 7 months ago and have been going around 2 times a week, I’m really pleased I did! It was a great decision and I’m really enjoying FitFunActive! I’ve tried other PTs in the past, but Darren’s approach really works well for me. He is extremely knowledgeable, positive, encouraging & experienced and plans the sessions really well. I’ve found my weekly training programme has been tailored to what I need and to help me achieve my short & long term goals.
