great gyms but could have better equipment throughout definantly in Torquay, every time i go to torquay there are multiple machines out of order and awaiting parts, i find myself going inbetween paignton and newton because of this also no consistency with Torquay compared to the other 2 gyms, for people who cant afford to travel or struggle to get to the other gyms torquay is exspensive for the poor quality equipment.

I can't thank Dan enough for helping me change my life! He was with me every step of the way, always adapting his workouts and nutritional advice around me!
I suffer with sciatica and Dan changed his programme to fit me! He is highly professional and always replies to texts and answers the phone if I need advice!! If you want to change your body and eating habits, don't wait around like I did, thinking it will happen anyway!
I recommend Dan highly, he can work wonders!!!

Leanne is simply amazing! Brilliant PT, always full of new and exciting ways to workout! No training session is ever the same! Her classes are equally as brilliant. I have attended bootcamp, pump, combat and metcon all of which I would highly recommend. If anyone needs any motivation to meet their goals then leanne is the women to call! � More...

I have previously trained with Leanne both on a one to one basis and also in group sessions and fitness classes. She makes exercising fun and is such a genuinely helpful trainer. She goes the extra mile to provide support and makes training enjoyable even on your most demotivated days. Can't recommend her enough. More...

I have trained at a high level in my sport of karate for over 19 yrs however due to a hip impingement and a broken foot I had to call it a day and look for an alternative.
After my foot recovery I came to Winners in Paignton and started PT with Leanne . I had put on over a stone due to my foot and was somewhat lacking motivation to start something other than karate.
I started with the gym, Bootcamp pump and combat and loved them all . Leanne has a great zest for life and it shines through in her teaching . She inspires me so much and in total awe of her.
Leanne has recently got me into crossfit which is now my passion.
Her knowledge is profound but most importantly is her understanding of others. I suffer from extreme anxiety and ptsd which I've battled through the past two years training has been my therapy and leanne understands my needs .
She is role model and I can't thank her enough.
Leanne your the BEST �

Absolutely love Leanne' classes. She's fun and motivational whilst getting the best out of you. I joined the gym at a really low point and Leanne has helped me regain my confidence in not just my appearance but my physical strength and mentally too.

Awesome Gym, great equipment / facilities and really friendly and helpful staff who make everyone feel welcome. All I would say is it would be fantastic if they opened till 10pm instead of 9pm, for those who have to work late. But highly recommend this gym!

Glad i joined again. Rich over at Newton is extremely knowledgeable and can have a laugh at the same time. Pushes me harder every session. Kinda helps being one of your mates but, that does not mean he goes easy on me at all, he beasts me everytime and i enjoy it and i mean that in a non prison movie type of way. It really does help with my anxiety as well. Get over to see him. More...

I took a group of 15 students from Ivybridge College to Winners on 16th January to gain experience of personal training and the fitness industry. Rich and his team were brilliant, they led an excellent training session looking at different types of training, whilst imparting advanced knowledge in a personable way. An invaluable experience for all of our students. Thank you. More...

I use the Newton Abbot gym almost daily and I love it. Everyone there is really nice and friendly. The instructors are all helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging. The equipment is all great and is well maintained. Can't fault it. I've used the Paignton gym briefly and the instructors were really helpful and showed me around, I also attended the Hot Yoga taster there, which was great!!! �� More...

All other gyms in the area... take note this is how you run a gym.
Caters for all be it powerlifting, numerous Watson racks with ample weight.
Olympic lifting in the separated area with lifting platforms.
Bodybuilding in the main gym, lots of isolation machines, free weights and Watson equipment. Dumbbells upto 65kg that I saw.
Long sprint track, prowler. Massive martial arts area pads and ring rig (pull ups) set up.
That's all the good stuff, feedback for management to make it 5*
Sauna/steam could do with an update. Dirty in the steam inbetween the wood. Stuck my toe in the gap by mistake wish I hadn't.
Steam is okay just old and light needs replacing.
If I lived in Torquay this would be my gym of choice visit it you will not be disappointed!

Been a member of Winners gym in Torquay for 4 years, enjoy it now as much as at the beginning . I've tried all the classes and must say the best one for all round fitness and enjoyment is the Zumba with Sacha. Her class on a Monday night is brilliant for all ages and not just the ladies. The music Sacha uses is just what you need to make you dance and we always have a laugh. Roll on Mondays. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I can relate to my clients as I was overweight growing up! I can help them work a gym program specifically designed to their goals and help them gradually change their eating habits whilst still having the ability to enjoy life.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency and balance is the key. Work hard and eat well and give yourself opportunities to still live a normal life and the results will come!
What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people feel better and reach their goals! I love seeing people get results the same way I did an become a better person!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was bullied at school for being overweight and the gym helped me regain my self belief and confidence. I now want to give that back to others.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm friendly, understanding and a genuine caring person. I'm highly qualified in the science of fat loss, nutrition, hormonal rebalance, eating disorder recovery and much more.
