Testimonials from our customers

Samera 

I have been training with Abdul for the past 3 months, and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around. Abdul is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably, and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more squats, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. Importantly he ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. He is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned. I actually look forward to my workouts. I thoroughly enjoy working out and would recommend Abdul & the rest of the trainers to anyone looking to improve their fitness.

Barbara

Loving my PT sessions in the gym with Harry. He is an excellent PT, and makes my sessions both enjoyable and rewarding. I came to The Arena from another site so accept praise on behalf of your staff there from café to PTs and reception for a warm welcoming group. I really appreciate them all.

Dave

I can now lift, press, push, and pull weights that I couldn’t have imagined handling before. Initially, even lifting the bar was a struggle. Additionally, my endurance on the cardio machines has significantly improved. All of this progress is thanks to the dedicated personal training (PT) team, including PT sessions, valuable advice, Rigfit, and general fitness classes. It truly has been a collaborative effort.

The PTs both challenge and support you at your desired level. At 56 years old, I’ve learned that with the right team and motivation, anything is possible—even if it takes a gentle nudge from your daughter. And when you tell Lamarr and Abdul to push you hard, they’ll do just that, helping you discover new limits (and yes, more sweat).
