Imran is a top dude and brilliant at his job! He makes me feel comfortable, he's almost like a counsellor as he listens to all my problems. But most of all he's terrific at the muscle therapy aspect of his job. I suffer from chronic pain and he's been helping me combat this! You can see how much effort he puts into every aspect of his job but especially when he is massaging you can how far away his stance is and how much effort he physically puts into massaging! Highly recommended! More...

After 10 years of suffering from various whiplash associated aches & pains, Imran worked on my problem shoulder and gave me the BEST massage I've ever had. Weirdly felt lighter when I left. Will be going back again and highly recommend him to others. More...

I went here with neck, lower back pain and general stiffness in my body, I felt relief to my neck and back after the first appointment. Imran is very knowledgeable and good at what he does. I've had two appointments and already booked another, I want my whole body sorting now that I've felt the difference. More...

highly recommend!! Have had trouble with shoulders and neck last year due to whiplash and had a few sessions with imran. After the first session I immediately felt results and felt a lot of space between my shoulder blades and tightness lifted. After a while the pain eased and eventually went and was able to sleep soundly. More...

Pepper Road is without doubt the best gym I have ever trained at! I’ve always loved training and have been to quite a few different places and classes but this place is a class above, all the trainers are awesome and all very knowledgeable. The classes are all challenging in varied and some times twisted ways . Another thing that sets this gym apart from the others is the members, everyone is lovely and welcoming which makes each class fly by! Working hard whilst having fun works for me More...

You will not find a gym like this anywhere else - it's the best FACT! I've been going to Pepper Road Fitness since it opened 3 years ago. I do the morning classes and they sets me up for the day! Every class is different, you'll want to do them all. The members and PT's are all awesome, very supportive, and always encourage you to push yourself! It's a great place to train and get results, give it a go #pepperroadfitness More...

From the moment I walked in (6 months ago) I was made to feel so welcome by every person. You don't get that anywhere else. Each session is different, they push you but you do get fast results. Best of all, you work out with a good group of people. The trainers are fantastic at what they do, making sure you're doing it right all the time. Best and most different gym I've ever been to. Love it! I urge you to come & join the pepper road family! More...

This is honestly the BEST gym I've ever been to. Ever. It's hard and you get results. Each class is so personailsed that it is like a PT session. I've been here 3 years now and would never contemplate leaving. I have managed to safely excercise throughout my whole pregnancy and straight back into excercise after little one was born. however, it's so much more than a gym, it's a family that I am so pleased to be part of. ✔ More...

Pepper Road Fitness is a fantastic gym! From the moment you walk in the door for the 1st time you’re made to feel really welcome by the other members and by all of the trainers who will remember your (and every other member’s) name after meeting you just once. The trainers make sure that the classes are adapted to your individual level whether you’ve never done any exercise to being an absolute machine. Every class is different and challenging and you will be praised and pushed in equal measure meaning you usually leave feeling knackered but buzzing regardless of your fitness level. Although the classes are all run by PTs there is never ever any pressure to sign up for PT sessions but I’ve got no doubts that PT sessions would be brilliant. There is no contest between PRF and a corporate gym. PRF is smaller and independent and that’s its strength because you are truly valued and the owners and trainers really do care about getting you to the fittest and strongest version of yourself, you’re far from just another membership number paying an overpriced monthly fee at PRF More...

Having been a member of many other gyms in the past, this is the only one I've stayed with, 3yrs and counting up to present. Pepper Road is the only one that puts it's members before it's bank balance. There's always new kit arriving and the PTs keep thinking up new (usually more evil) ways of using it. Being a purely class based gym (apart from PT session) isn't a bad thing at all, every exercise you do is closely monitored by the PTs to make sure you're doing it right, quite often they won't let you attempt one with any weight until your technique is correct. This way you work the targeted muscles and the chance of injury is reduced to a minimum. Then there's the members, wether you're struggling with a press up on your knees or leg pressing 250kg there's always an encouraging partner working with you, more often than not, at a similar level to you. There isn't a single pretentious person to be found, we're a lovely bunch. So, if you want to try a gym with a great atmosphere, PTs and members come and give PRF a go! More...

I honestly believe this is the best gym you can join. The personal trainers are brilliant, nice, motivational and on occasion even fairly funny! I've been a member of a few gyms before but this is the first one I've stuck with. The classes really test you whilst being great fun and you see improvements fast. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're thinking of joining a gym, give Pepper Road a try. More...

Joined PRF in January and can’t praise it enough, it has everything that a normal gym doesn’t offer, fantastic varied classes and amazing PT’s, 10month in and I’m still finding classes that I haven’t been to yet, I train with Nush (PT ) and have been since July, he has totally transformed me physically and mentally, his weekly updates and videos make sure I don’t fall off track, he is truly a brilliant trainer. All the trainers take to time to speak to you as you are a member of their club not just a number. �� More...

I joined over 2 months ago and I love it!Classes are fun, enjoyable and never the same. Instructors are fantastic motivators, they create a nice atmosphere and sense of fun. The gym is filled with postive engery and attitude. Some classes involves working out as a team and in others, you work as an individual. You can be as competitve as you want. If you want to go all out you can. You work to your level of fitness. No one is there to judge you or to look down at you.The people who attend classes are all nice. New members are instantly made comfortable and welcomed with enthusiasm. Instructors are experienced and hands on. If you are doing something incorrectly or have poor technique, instuctors take their time correcting your technique or posture without belittling you.Once the class ends, everyone will give high fives, say "well done" and basically share positive attitude. Some people will stay behind and chat about the class or their day. It's a wonderful and fun community.If you enjoy tough classes and working out under the guidance of experienced and fun instructors, a long with nice people, this is the gym for you!I can't praise the gym and instructors enough!

I've had all kinds of treatments from Imran now; from post work out tightness, shoulder injury releif, neck injury relief, just a general massage "treat", and most recently groin and leg tightness. Every session has provided a massive releif and improvement compared to how I walked in. Would recommend to anyone as very knowledgeable and experienced. Sure I will be back in soon! More...

I have known Alan for a number of years now and have been training with him for nearly a year. I have always been active, fairly strong, fairly fit but overweight. In the short time I have been training with Alan, I have achieved more than in the years and years of training before that. I have gained confidence in my lifts, become fitter, lost weight and gained a good friend. He is always encouraging and has faith that we can achieve whatever we put our minds to. And he sees EVERYTHING!! I can't recommend him enough �� More...
