Strength & Performance Torfaen

Fantastic experience: Great place for Senior citizens as well as the young and fit people

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a place, that you feel your the most important client they have, a place that makes you feel your part of a community and people who understand and can guide you with goals that are achievable. Then this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: 2 years ago I walked into S&P gym with a back that would break down as soon as I upped my triathlon training. Realising I needed to strengthen my body, particularly around my core I joined up to S&P, led by Alistair. The training program is finely tuned, designed to increase the load your body can take, week-on-week, month-on-month. No wasted sessions. A member who is fully committed to this structure will receive the support, enthusiasm and knowledge of the most talented bunch of coaches you could find. Not to mention the support of other members. And I haven't even mentioned the online advice covering the importance of nutrition, rest, recovery and mental well-being. Suffice to say, 2 years in to this and I am now lifting weights I didn't dare think possible, with a back that (fingers crossed) is holding up. I am able to train pain-free and compete with the knowledge that I have a stronger all round body. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding;improved all round performance in my triathlons to date since joining. I can't thank Alistair and his team enough.

Fantastic experience: I ve never stuck to any kind of fitness training before but i took the plunge hoping for a quick fix for a holiday and two years later im still going, Alistair and his team are all amazing and they are so helpful. It sounds silly to some but you really become part of a family and you make friends along the way, The training is hard but you get use to it i would highly recommend anyone to give it a go. You wont be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. No judgements just incouragement. Top quality coaches who are always eager to motivate and help you towards achieving your goals, whether it be performance or fat loss. I've been going for over 2 years and the difference to my fitness level, physique and nowledge of both training and nutrition have increased dramatically.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 6 months, in that time there’s been lockdown and a minor op on my knee. Despite all that, and only having 1 week at the gym before lockdown, the support from the trainers has been fantastic. There’s a real community feel with the trainers and the members, they all care about how everyone is doing and there’s always someone to turn to if you’re struggling for whatever reason. I can’t recommend S&P strongly enough!

Fantastic experience: This gym is not like any other gym. This gym actually works. If your serious about wanting to loose weight, tone up, get fit, look good, all the reasons why you would want to go to a gym then there is only one place you need to go to and thats S&P Everything S&P do is about you. Its about what you need to get to the goal you set yourself. Its not easy but it really works

Fantastic experience: Joined S&P in June 2019 after trying out most other gyms and exercise classes this was my last attempt at seeing if this would work for me and to be honest it has! It ticks all the boxes for me great place to train if your looking to get fit and strong, I would highly recommend you join as the support given is equally as amazing as the coach’s and gym buddies there. You will be pushed to your limits and that’s when you realise how much your body can actually adapt to this. I throughly enjoy the sessions and the motivation that the staff give you. You work every part of your body and you can see the difference it makes to your mind and the confidence you gain within yourself too..

Fantastic experience: S&P is like no gym I’ve been to before. The coaches really do make sure you’re working right and support you with nutrition. It doesn’t end at the gym door, there are Facebook groups that offer ongoing advice, support and encouragement. As well as live q&a’s, the coaches are always on hand to answer your questions or provide advice. I would highly recommend S&P.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of the S&P Family for years. That’s exactly what it is, one massive supportive family. No judgments, tons of support. I’ve suffered with slipped discs over the years, and wouldn’t trust anyone else to adjust programmes to suit my injury, whilst still delivering results. Pre and post partum training is another thing I wouldn’t feel confident with anywhere else. In very safe hands with Al and the team.

Fantastic experience: I joined his gym ar the end of October 2018, I knew I needed to loose weight and get fit but had no clue how to do it and my mobility was very poor. I now am over 5 stone lighter and much fitter! I highly recommended this team, great coaches and a great team mentality, very supportive! If I can do this anyone can! Go on give it a go you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed training at this gym, the classes have been good, the coaches were professional and pushed me to achieve my goals. I joined to help get myself ready for the army, and I smashed selection when I went, I would recommend this gym to anyone as the experience is tailored to you. 5 stars recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for over a year now. Brilliant place to train with amazing coaches who are knowledgeable and ready to help every session. Great community spirit there where everyone helps and encourages each other to progress. Motivation is key to attend a gym regularly and motivation is never a problem when here. Couldn't reccomend it more whether you're a novice or been going to gyms for years as anyone would progress at S & P.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend strength & Performance Torfaen Everyone is really friendly and make you feel welcome. If you need motivating and want to do a good workout then this is the place for you. It’s hard but you will see results. Fantastic coaches who encourage you and always there to answer any questions.

Fantastic experience: What a great place to be. This is more than a gym, it's a community. The coaches know their stuff and will always help you out. The members groups are a great place for extra support and encouragement. Personally I love the group coached sessions. Even with the Covid situation the team ensure members stick to the hygiene requirements and do all they can to ensure you are safe while getting a good workout. Cannot recommend them enough. They've helped my physical and mental well being even through these hard times.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of S&P for two and a half years, I'd never been to a gym before and wasn't sure what to expect. What you will find is a highly professional group of coaches running programmes to suit the needs of people of all shapes, sizes ages etc. Depending on what you want to achieve you will be asked to set your own goals and they will do everything they can to help you accomplish those goals through training , nutrition and support. It's a completely non judgemental environment filled with like minded people all trying make better versions of themselves. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: After trying many diets, workout classes and countless gyms I found Strength and Performance. It really does work! Great support and motivating coaching I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: At 45 with very dodgy knees i deceived to start the strong program that’s run at the gym. How do I begin to tell you how good this facility is, the coaches are all very knowledgeable & very helpful in every aspect, they take into account everything I can & cant do & adjust programmes to accommodate my limitations. The owners of the gym can’t do enough for you if you have a problem or indeed a new challenge that you would like to achieve they will go out of their way to help. All the fellow gym members are like one big (slightly mad) happy family with very firm friends have been made here. All in all Al, Jo & their drive & desire to provide you with the very best experience for leading a fitter & healthier lifestyle is undoubtedly infectious & long may it continue

Fantastic experience: Love these sessions. Can always fit one in around my busy home life. Never thought I would progress to doing chin ups and full press ups. Love the atmosphere and positive vibes. It really makes you want to work hard. The coaches really know their stuff too and create such a great place to train. ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Still the best place to train in the area, after three years of membership.

Fantastic experience: It’s a great place to train with an even better community spirit. The coaches are always on hand with advice and encouragement, I have been a member since September and I really enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym about 5 months ago and can’t recommend it enough. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community of amazing trainers and lovely people who are supportive, encouraging and push you when needed. If you’re thinking of joining a gym, do yourself and your health a huge favour and sign up. Just turn up 3 times a week; there are different sessions to ensure you get the most out of your training. The routines which are changed regularly challenge you so there’s no chance of getting bored here! You also get advice on nutrition, help with goal setting and access to fantastic coaches. You have nothing to lose but weight and inches!

Fantastic experience: S&P is a great place to transform your body and your mindset. I joined in February of this year and have never looked back. The coaches are knowledgeable and focused on helping you reach the goals you set for yourself. Injuries and setbacks are no problem, programs are modified to keep you on track. Nutrition advice and regular feedback and 1:1 sessions keep you feeling motivated. The team atmosphere is great and supportive, everybody has the common goal of being the best they can be and encouraging you to be the best you can be. No posers, no time wasters, just pure hard work in a place that makes you feel great with coaches who know their stuff and make sure you do too.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training @ S&P since April 19 - the coaches are fantastic and have helped me with my injuries - adapted training to suit and as a result I’ve improved in technique. I enjoy every minute I’m there- I’m fitter but more importantly it gives me the space I need away from a busy work life. It really helps to de-stress! I’ve also met some brilliant people and no-one judges - I like that.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to completely transform your body, mindset and health, S&P has everything you need. Effective, coach-led sessions alongside like-minded, supportive team mates provide amazing results for fitness and strength. If you want to make changes, Al, Serena, Tanya and team will crack the whip and make sure you get there an the peer support and online community is second to none. 10 months at S&P has made a massive difference to me. I'm fitter than I've ever been, my body is in better shape than it was in my twenties and my confidence has rocketed. Joining S&P has been a complete life-changing experience for me. It's one of the best decision I've ever made

Fantastic experience: I joined S&P 10 mths ago after doing no exercise at all for 3 years & suffering with numous joint issues. I now train at high intensity 3 times a week. I've seen great results & I'm also probably the fittest I've ever been. As well as the classes there are regular group activities & social events which are great. The difference with S&P from other gyms is the amazing environment & community, led by an exceptional team of coaches. They are always on hand to encourage & support you on your fitness jouney & equip you with tools & knowledge to sustain it long term. They really do get the best out of you. I've not just lost weight & improved my fitness, I've joined an amazing community of people , I'm more confident and have met a fantastic network of friends . I love being a member of S&P and the Fit Family ❤.

Fantastic experience: This gym is something else. I moved from Cardiff from a gym I felt comfortable in and I looked and looked in Torfaen and came across S& P and Alastair. So glad I did. The sessions are dynamic and fun (FIT) but still challemge you. The strength sessions (my zone) are tough, challenging, get results and make you dig deep to a place you never thought you were capable. I adore their family ethos. They care and I so feel included in a family, a team and a community. Thanks S&P family. #bestgym

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place with amazing coaches. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, encouraging, motivational. Would highly recommend this gym and the coaches are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Really love this gym. I've been going for almost 2 years now and have seen my body change for the better and become so much leaner, fitter and stronger. I never thought of myself as someone who would go to a gym, but here there's an amazing community to become a part of. The coaches are fantastic and other clients so friendly and supportive that it makes the workouts enjoyable. The timetable of classes offers lots of choice so it's easy to fit in around work and home commitments. Can't rate it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: There’s gyms, and then there’s S&P Torfaen fighting fit the most friendliest gym I have ever been to and got the biggest goals you have to try it

Fantastic experience: After years of wilderness following quitting competitive sport, trying to find a new way to continue exercising and enjoy it, S&P is in a league of its own. They constantly motivate you with challenging and new programmes, online support and focussed nutritional advice around the clock, and no matter what level you are at they know what is best for each person individually. You can be as competitive with yourself as you like with your own workout logs, but also everyone supports each other through team exercises, Warrior nights, socials and charity events. Not just a gym, it really is a FitFam! (ps don't go missing for a week... they'll be straight on the phone to get you back - and who doesn't need support like that?!) Cannot recommend S&P enough *****

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend S&P enough. I really have not been to any other gym that takes pride in giving all it's members the best coaching, best care and best motivation than here. Join the "fit fam" and I guarantee you a warm welcome and results.

Fantastic experience: S&P Torfaen isn't just your average gym. Behind the rows of kettlebells and sandbags are a team of coaches who give their all in supporting every single person that steps through the door. The "FitFam" community are friends for life. No judgement, no shaming, just a group of like minded people striving to become physically and mentally fitter versions of themselves. Can't recommend the place enough!

Fantastic experience: Joined S&P just over a year ago and what a difference.... My thought was to lose a bit of weight and get fitter than I was. However, what I've gained is so much more than that... A whole new way of life, new friends, so much more self confidence... (Oh and lost 2 stone in the process! ) . Staff are fab and really push you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym with dedicated coaches that will get the best out of you. Great group of members too who make you feel part of the family very quickly.
