I go to a variety of classes and never get board as the routines are always different with different levels for all abilities. At the end of each week I know I have worked my whole body. Best result are my arms - no more bat wings for me ��. More...

Carla, Kim and Fran make exercising fun. Their classes are easy to join. They are engaging classes with all different levels and I've never felt out of my depth. First time I've ever enjoyed exercise was the first time I joined their run club. Now I love loads of their classes. I look forward to you girls reshaping me this year in time for my hols this Christmas. It might be the first holiday I will allow a photograph of me to be taken! More...

I joined CGF two years ago when I retired from work and I can honestly say I have never felt better. I have so much more energy and am fitter than I have ever been in my life!
I have met some fabulous ladies who have become my friends and look forward to getting up every day to go to a class. The support at CGF is amazing.. always encouragement and lots of giggles along the way. It's not about being skinny it's about being strong and healthy however it sure does change your shape for the better and over the last couple of years I have seen some fantastic results from CGF members.
The team at CGF are professional and motivated, the classes are always different, and there is no time for complacency which keeps us on our toes.
Thank you CGF xx More...

I have been a member of the fitness family that is CGF for 4 years now and can't emphasise enough how great it is to have found somewhere where I can keep fit and have fun at the same time and have made many great friends in the process. I learnt a lesson this weekend which I would like to share with members current and potential:
1. Don't let a name of a class put you off - Carla hosted a Becci Elliott Zumba Strong masterclass on a Saturday and as usual I turned my nose up to the word Zumba. BIG mistake as the class was in fact an awesome HIIT workout with songs engineered to match each move! So sadly I missed out! Note to self! Be sure to get more information from your instructor next time.
2. Don't let your misconception of a class stop you from attending. Some people just aren't into the HIIT or Cardio/Weight classes but don't want to do Pilates or Yoga either because they think they are for older people (no disrespect) or those recovering from injuries. I thought exactly that. I attended my second YOGA workshop with CGF and Alexander Howath today and I didn't ever think my hamstrings would be that forgiving while I managed to do the warrior poses and most of the challenging pose variations, the increased flexibility is thanks CGF who run a Pilates class every Tuesday night and I am now a regular along with all age groups and fitness levels and not only has it helped with my flexibility and core strength it has helped with balance and general performance in all my other classes.

Try a class free today you won't look back .. I'm hooked! More...

18 months ago after been poorly I made myself a promise to exercise 3 times a week, Kim invited me to one of her Zumba classes. ..that was it I became totally addicted to Zumba, Zumba Tone, Zumba Senteo & now Zumba Step!! The fun friendly classes full of real people changed my body & kept my sanity with such motivational instructors like Carla, Kim & Shelley there is no option but to have fun!!! :) This year I started running in Feb with instructor Fran & reached my 5k goal in May. Now I'm toning with Express classes & hope to get back to Carla's Pump Fx soon, all things I would never have tried before & it feel's like I'm part of a family not a gym. Thank you Team CGF More...

Having fallen in and out of love with the gym and running over the years I can honestly say that finding these classes is perfect for me! I am not young and definitely was not fit when I started however I can confidently say I can see a big improvement. Not to mention the fact that the classes are great fun :) More...

Well after being a couch potato for 39 years I thought it about time to get my bum in gear and sort myself out before I hit the big 40. I was scared to join a fitness class with loads of women judging me but a wonderful friend dragged me out of my pit to a zumba session and I have never looked back! I spend more time out than I do at home ( as long as the family are fed my husbands happy!), it's given me back time to myself, I have met some amazing people made some wonderful 'like minded forever friends' and for once in my life I am feeling great. Thanks to Carla and her team I think I am looking forward to hitting my forties feeling fabulous! ! More...

Being a member of CGF (as I have been for 2 years) is like being hooked on a happy drug or drinking a bottle of fine wine which is best served with good friends. The classes are the best in Macclesfield with a wide range of them to chose from. I've even been know to do 3 in a day and feel absolutely amazing after every one. There isn't another group that can offer the variation, the level of fitness or the quality of friends like Carla's CGF can. Very reasonably priced as well. Keep up the good work Carla and team � More...

I've been going to classes for a month now, piloxing and legs bums and tums. Was a bit worried about lagging behind, but it's great as you can enjoy the class and work to your own pace, everyone is just concentrating on what they're doing. So if you're thinking about joining just do it! X More...

Sorry for the long review but I hope it helps.

So if less than a year ago you had told me I would be doing fitness classes I would have laughed in your face.
I have now been a member for 6 months and what a journey, I am not saying it is easy, but the great support from the instructors and the other members have made it a great experience.
I love the fact that the classes are full of "real" people not your ultra fit, perfect bodied, perfectly dress gymites. The real people know how hard it is to start and offer great words of encouragement and support, who I now consider good friends.
I have tried classes that I would never ever have considered, and I am enjoying them all.

If you have read this far, you must be considering improving your fitness, well stop reading and give it a go, you won't regret one second of it. More...

Carla runs the best circuit training sessions I've been too. She pushes you really hard, but all in the spirit of fun and enjoyment. Every session is different and it is this variety that keeps you coming back for more.

I would recommend these classes to anyone who wants to get fit fast. More...

Well, where to start! Prior to Carla/Kim/Shelley/Fran's classes I thought exercise was a chore to be endured and I couldn't bear the prospect of the gym with all the pumped up nutters. Since being a member and trying various classes with these lovely ladies, I can honestly say I look forward to them (well..mostly, depending on how hard they've worked us the previous week!!). Everyone is 'normal', just wanting to get fit/lose weight, all shapes/sizes/ages, and all up for it. I love the fact that Carla and the team are full of motivation and encouragement, really wanting to see us get fit and feel better, with their hard work and personal touches. I feel healthier, with lots more energy and am definitely more toned/fitter than before I joined. Now my 15-year-old son has even joined in on the action and we 'work out' together!!! Love you ladies - keep up the fabulous work!!! More...

I've been doing Carla's classes for over 5 years now and I've been a proper full member of CGF for three months. I absolutely love the classes - there's something for everyone and all the instructors are great at adjusting moves for individual needs. The camaraderie and support from the instructors and fellow members is fantastic - there is always encouragement whatever the level you're at. It's more than a fitness group, it's friendship all round. More...
