Thrive Gyms

Thrive is a brilliant place to workout. I have previously struggled to find the motivation to train and also the right environment that suits me - Thrive has changed that! Their friendly, knowledgeable coaches, welcoming environment and quality equipment make it not only worthwhile but also enjoyable! I highly recommend Thrive, especially for those who are keen to get fit, but don't know where to start! More...

I recently joined Thrive few months ago, I can honestly say what a fabulous place to train. I never enjoyed exercise, just felt I need to do something, Thrive is different, the PT trainers, help and encourage you throughout the session, I feel comfortable, and happy there. Thank you Thrive x

I couldn’t recommend Thrive enough. Everything about the place is perfect for me. I’ve gone from training 1-2 times a week to now consistently training 3-4 with a mixture of the small group personal training sessions, conditioning & cardio classes. The coaches are amazing, they have so much knowledge and are always on hand to help & give advice even out of the sessions. More...

First week impressions, excellent. From the intro, understanding objectives and overall engagement, terrific. Equipment is new, modern, well kept and the whole place is immaculate. But what makes it different is the people, staff and members, everyone friendly, everyone supportive and just a very encouraging atmosphere, if you like PT and you like people, you'd like Thrive.

I joined thrive after taking a break from exercise due to work/family commitments. One of the things I love about thrive is the hourly timetable which means no excuses to get to a class. The team are so friendly and you're introduced to everyone so you don't feel nervous walking in. I can really see the improvements I've made in my physical abilities and appearance since joining, I love it. More...

I have been a member at thrive for a year now and I haven’t looked back. At other gyms I had always steered away from weights as I had never been given good advice. At thrive the coaches are full of knowledge and attentive and want to see the results as much as you, which is so encouraging. I manage to fit it around my busy lifestyle by attending the early morning sessions, it gets you off to such a good start, It is just part of my routine now. I would recommend Thrive to anyone wanting to join a quality, safe inspiring gym who wants to see results. More...

If you want a place that feels like you belong from day one, with coaches that you feel super comfortable with, and a light hearted but totally expert approach, then Thrive Gym is for you. Easy location and parking, fresh, bright, super modern gym with top of the range equipment. The concept is different to anything else…… basically PT sessions shared with a few others (no more than 6 at its fullest but usually just 2 or 3 others) and a commitment of 8 or 12 sessions (or more maybe) as part of your subscription PLUS unlimited group classes when they are on. It’s not cheap but when you compare it to actually having that number of PT sessions, it really is cost effective. It’s all about strength training, not crazy HIIT Classes or Bootcamp sort of things, so it will make you leaner, stronger and fitter and not damage you like you can do if left to your own devices. I have always hated using equipment in the gym as can never remember what to do, get bored or don’t work as hard as you could, but at Throve you bypass all these familiar issues. I can absolutely recommend Thrive and think all the instructors are really great! More...

Thrive opened at a time when I was really struggling to find the right environment to exercise, but after an initial visit I immediately knew that this was the gym that would help to rediscover my motivation. The PT sessions are varied and carefully devised with the coaches helping you focus on your individual technique, whilst the conditioning and cardio classes offer different, but equally rewarding challenges. The combination of the different sessions quickly produce results, with the coaches also available to discuss your own individual targets and help you achieve your goals, offering advice from both a training and nutritional perspective. Aside from the excellent facilities that Thrive offer, Jon & Vicky have also created a very unique inclusive & fun atmosphere where everyone is made welcome by the coaches and fellow members. Quite simply joining Thrive is honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I now feel as fit and as healthy as I have ever been, so thank you team Thrive 👏👏👏 More...

Absolutely love this place, it’s like my second home.

All I have to say is thank you Thrive Team for being so exceptional. More...

I have been going to Thrive for 7 weeks now, it is absolutely amazing, not your typical gym where your shown once how to use machines and left to get on with it, Jon, Vicki and their awesome team do small PT classes they are encouraging, supportive and really care about your fitness journey. The classes are fun and hard work but you get out what you put in, the wealth of knowledge between all the instructors is mind blowing, and if you have any injuries or just not confident to go it alone this is definitely the right place to start, you are never left alone, you are guided through every exercise and the classes are small and very friendly. The facilities are clean, well maintained and just beautiful and serene. Please come along just for a chat the team are so welcoming and friendly and what ever problem your facing or just want to start your get fit journey, THRIVE GYMS is it. More...

The showers and changing rooms are beautiful with top of the range hair driers and hair straighteners which all help if you need to get ready post workout.
