The Fitness Garage Harrogate

Fantastic experience: I hired Andy for some personal training sessions to get in shape and tone up for my wedding. Within a few sessions, I was already seeing a positive difference. He listened to what I wanted to achieve and built a programme around that. He managed to keep me motivated throughout the sessions, including some early starts, which was an achievement within itself! The gym has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere which is particularly important if you’re a bit out of practice as I was. Overall, I was very pleased with the results and it gave me the confidence that every bride wants to feel on their wedding day.

Fantastic experience: This place is an absolute game changer!! lost 2.5 stones and feeling completely transformed both physically and mentally.. long may it continue o)

Fantastic experience: Ultra-friendly PT gym. I’ve done 6 out of 10 sessions so far and learnt a lot. Really enjoyed each session. Facilities are good and areas are booked out for your use, which means no waiting for equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. No posing, just a serious set-up for those who want to train hard. Has everything you need for the job and everyone is friendly and inviting.

Fantastic experience: I’m in my early 50s, a regular exerciser but not super-fit. I had weekly personal training for many years but my trainer had changed profession a year before. I hadn’t been keen to go back to a gym during the pandemic but reached the point where online workouts were not doing it for me. I contacted the Fitness Garage over social media and the owner quickly got in touch with me to discuss my requirements. He felt James Taylor would be the best trainer for me and he also contacted me promptly. The gym itself is well equipped with constant improvements even in the 3 months I have been going. There is plenty of space for other clients and trainers - you never feel on top of each other. James is great. I was nervous to train with someone new but have found we are on the same wavelength. There is plenty of variety in the sessions, with weekly progression in the strength exercises though he also notices if he needs to dial down the effort at any time. I have only had positive experiences with James and the Fitness Garage and wholeheartedly recommended them.

Fantastic experience: I attend a core fitness and strengthening class with James. He is very knowledgeable and a great trainer! He really knows how to work the muscles that sometimes get ignored but are important to overall strength and form when cycling or running

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding gym, the passion the trainers have is noticed everyday. They care about their clients and their results, they go above an beyond what any standard gym would do. I have been going to the Fitness Garage for nearly a year and every session is fun. The programs the trainers build gets results. This gym is not about money but the care of what they do for their clients which is rare to find. X

Fantastic experience: Sweat and Strut with Lyndsay on a Tuesday night is my favourite night of any week. She is the best! Always teaching us new things and having a right laugh while sweating, perfect. Great gym for equipment and space too despite the deceptive smaller appearance from the outside.

Fantastic experience: Loved working with Ollie! Such a great experience for an introduction to strength training!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great gym where you get the space (allocated private workout zone for sessions) and coaching you need to have a solid work out. Went from no cycling experience to being able to complete a 380km bike ride across Wales with both Andy's physical and theoretical training and support.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Positive experience: Went for an initial visit for personal training, all looked very professional!! Haven't started my programme yet, but it really looks promising.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism A straightforward, real gym driven by individuals who really care and take the time to understand their client's motivations, challenges and goals. First time that I have stayed with a fitness programme , a testament to their professional resource. Alastair Bailey

Fantastic experience: Just joined the team as a PT and what a great gym, professional, friendly and welcoming environment. Booking in system really flexible and user friendly. The gym space and studio are well equipped with COVID safe zones in place. The owners have done a brilliant job of creating an excellent fitness facility for trainers and clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the fitness garage to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I'm currently doing group PT with the Fitness Garage. The sessions are great - James mixes up the exercises each week, explains the muscles we're targeting and gives us modifications to change the intensity if needed. Most of our sessions have been outside, but those in the gym have been COVID secure with social distancing in place. I'd highly recommend the Fitness Garage!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality great place to workout, whether you are a client or trainer. I have regularly booked the treatment room for myself.

Fantastic experience: Everything and more that I am after in a facility as a coach. The friendly environment is incredibly welcoming and makes me want to continue working here for the long term. The trust from the team allows myself to carry out sessions to the best of my ability, and remain flexible to work around my clients needs and goals. This is an ideal facility with the huge breadth of knowledge from all trainers, for anyone looking to progress and develop their fitness journey at all levels.

Fantastic experience: I've been training regularly for over two years at The Fitness Garage with my PT, Steve. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere and well separated with specific training pods for clients and their trainers. Each pod has a different selection of equipment, depending on what your training requirements are. The equipment selection is vast and constantly been added too, from bodyweight equipment, squat racks through to sledge & track. There is something for everybody, no matter your training experience. Overall, The Fitness Garage is an excellent gym with a professional and knowledgeable team in place. I highly recommend it for both trainers and clients alike.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming gym. James’ Get Fit To… sessions have really helped with my fitness and running technique.

Fantastic experience: As a Sports Therapist, the treatment room at the fitness garage is a great place for me to work with my clients. There is plenty of space and ventilation to ensure I can work safely with people and there is ground floor level access to the gym and treatment room; making it easy for clients of all abilities to benefit from our services. Having a well equipped gym and some great trainers all under one roof means that, once my clients have recovered from an injury, they have the opportunity to continue their progression with us rather than having to go elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Myself and my clients love training at the Fitness Garage. Andy and Steve always go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need and are always open to new ideas!

Fantastic experience: Ive been using FG for my personal training sessions for the past 8 months. I find the gym is well run, clean and well mantained. Communication is always prompt and the support for trainers sets it apart from other options. My clients like the private gym feel and the wide range of every increasing equiptment on offer. I look forward to carrying on my sessions. Thanks FG. James Reid PT

Fantastic experience: I recently joined the Harrogate Fitness Garage as a personal trainer. The facilities are some of the best I have seen for a private gym. Everyone is exceptionally professional, and welcoming. It is really easy and convenient to book spaces for training clients when I need to and affords me the flexibility I need with such a busy schedule. The gym is COVID safe with private sections for each training session and I am never waiting for equipment from others (due to the great stock) or feel too cramped in the space I definitely would recommend the fitness garage to everyone!

Fantastic experience: The gym, treatment room and studio are back for you to use!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I had the best workout with James from The Fitness Garage on a recent trip to Harrogate! James clearly knows his stuff and put the class through our paces while also being super approachable and friendly. Loved the class and the ‘fitness garage’ concept. Can’t wait to go again when I’m next in the area! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! I recently joined as a personal trainer, the set up is brilliant. The gym is separated into different stations with a variety of equipment in each, plus loads of shared equipment to choose from to add to each station. There is loads of equipment so you never feel like you don't have access to what you need; plus they regularly add new pieces. The booking system is great! straightforward and flexible, easy to see what is available, make changes, and keep track of your bookings. The gym has a really good atmosphere, everyone is very welcoming, perfect space for clients to feel comfortable whilst training. I would definitely recommend this gym to any trainers or clients!

Fantastic experience: I've been having personal training sessions here and it's great. They've got a really good variety of equipment that means their personal trainers can keep the workouts really varied and interesting. I've also been to some yoga classes. It's great to have so many really experienced trainers there. You really appreciate the difference when you're getting bespoke training from experts! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to workout, whether you are a client or trainer. I have regularly booked the excellent studio within the gym for my pilates classes, until the Covid19 crisis. Despite the fact that the premises has had to close down temporarily due to the lockdown, the guys who own the gym, Andy and Steve, have continued to support all the self employed trainers and instructors, promoting our online classes on the gym’s FB and Instagram. It’s a great place to train, with some great trainers; highly recommend a visit once life gets back to ‘normal’. You really couldn’t meet a nicer bunch of experts. Sam B.

Fantastic experience: Great facility for myself as a trainer but just as much for my clients. Welcoming environment and friendly team of instructors and trainers. The fitness garage has been supportive of my business and helped any way they can.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym with lovely trainers and a really welcoming atmosphere!
