Loving Strength class! Michelle is so encouraging in helping achieving your fitness goals. The class members are really friendly and encouraging as well! I would recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic gym and instructors that are genuinely passionate about their job and helping people become healthier, fitter and stronger. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Classes are varied and would suit all levels. Love it!

Iโ€™ve been doing Semi-Private training sessions with Michelle since January. Iโ€™ve absolutely loved every session and have seen a massive improvement in my running times and technique. She is hugely knowledgeable and motivational and I canโ€™t recommend her and BetterU enough. Do it!
