Fitness Belfast

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Fitness Belfast's beginner yoga classes through the wellness programme at my place of employment and what a gift it was! Although initially apprehensive (nearly 60 years of age, inactive for 30 years and past injuries) I soon realised it was the best thing I have done for myself in decades! Gary's teaching style is positive, supportive and inclusive. His approach is tailored to the needs of each individual client - even when you're part of a group. I never once felt self-conscious or out of place, nor did I feel the need to compare myself or my progress to that of others. That was down to Gary's philosophy and his ability to keep us focused on our own individual journey. Gary did not lead us all into the same pose, but offered several variations on each pose for differing abilities and all were embraced equally. There was no competition, no body shaming, no ego..I absolutely LOVED every minute of it. If you are considering even a minor change in your quality of life, in your fitness levels, your balance and/or flexibility, even your frame of mind, I CANNOT recommend these classes highly enough. They are for everyone - from absolute beginner to practiced pro - and everyone in between. You will come away feeling refreshed, empowered, peaceful and satisfied. With Gary's yoga classes, its about your own journey in a supportive and accessible environment. Do it. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Gary highly enough. I’ve been doing Kickass Bootcamp for just over a year and my ability and confidence in exercise has grown massively. Gary has a great way of respecting everyone’s ability and positively encouraging you to reach new goals in your exercise journey. He’s great craic, always smiling and a really lovely person to be around.

Fantastic experience: I always found exercise to be a chore and found every excuse to avoid it. But my weight was increasing over lockdown. I needed to do something. I saw an ad on social media for the Kickass Bootcamp with fitness Belfast and thought I'd give it a go. Sure it was only for 8 weeks. 8 weeks which turned into another 8 weeks and another 8 weeks. I kept going back. Gary is just brilliant. He makes you feel so welcome to the group and makes it fun to exercise. Never thought I'd say fun and exercise in the same sentence but there it is. If you are looking for exercise with a knowledgeable, professional, friendly, trainer with a bit of fun thrown in, then I'd highly recommend Gary at fitness Belfast. You will not regret it

Fantastic experience: Gary ran a 6-week online course for our organisation. He was able to provide a great proposal for the course for us to take to management and has all the infrastructure for invoicing and payment. He is well setup for managing participant registration, Zoom calls and hosting the recorded sessions. The yoga sesions were great, a good balance of being accessible and challenging. Gary managed to demonstrate and explain everything well even though the sessions were online, his experience and enthusiasm were very clear. Would highly recommend Fitness Belfast for personal or corporate courses.

Fantastic experience: Gary is a fantastic instructor - fun, energetic and motivational. I challenge anyone to come to a Kickass Bootcamp class and not giggle, feel energised and meet a great bunch of people. Exercising in the outdoors is good for the soul, and Gary incorporates yoga into the class, as well as exciting cardio and strength workouts. It is great to experience a class that combines fitness, fun, the outdoors and even some sunshine!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend these classes enough at fitness Belfast- Gary is such an amazing coach, pushes you but also tailors each class to keep every fitness level involved!

Fantastic experience: Had a series of 121s with Gary and found them really useful. Professional with a decent dose of craic too! Helped me get back on the bandwagon. Would recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I really enjoyed Gary's 6 week fundamental yoga classes. It was great to get a taster for all types of yoga. The classes were well structured and great for 'well being' after a busy work day.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the outdoor Bootcamp classes and they've been great! Gary keeps it fun and noncompetitive but still keeps you challenged. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I have been going to Gary’s Boot camp in the park since I had knee surgery in March. It has helped my recovery by strengthening my muscles and increasing my stamina and energy. Gary’s friendly professional approach to training is / pace it at your level, have fun, but always try your best. Debbie

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Fitness Belfast to everyone! Gary makes the boot camps fun and challenging but enables you to adapt them to your own level. I always come away from them feeling fitter and healthier and having had a laugh as well.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Belfast is fun and effective! Gary makes your overall health, both physical and mental, his top priority. He’s knowledgeable and professional, but more importantly, he really cares about each of his clients and meets them where they’re at in terms of their ability. He provides a positive environment and encourages his group fitness classes in a way that builds a supportive community of people at all varying levels of fitness. You will walk away feeling better about yourself and encouraged to keep going. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fitness Belfast!

Fantastic experience: Owner deserves for 5 as he did explained rather than made a big deal of refusing allegations. This I call high level of customer service.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality Gary is an absolutely wonderful yoga teacher and delivers fantastic, well communicated sessions virtually. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love Gary's bootcamps - he's super encouraging and positive, and you're guaranteed a fun and effective workout!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Belfast is awesome! I have been doing yoga with Gary for three years now. Gary has always been friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable. I had been going to BroFlo but since the covid-19 situation my classes have moved online via Zoom - this has been great. As regardless of the situation in the world or where my yoga mat is, I always leave the mat feeling great. I get so much from these classes. I recommend yoga to everyone but also Fitness Belfast. As three years ago I was a beginner to yoga and I doubt I would have maintained this regular practice without Gary's welcoming and inclusive studio he has built.

Fantastic experience: Great bootcamp trainer, great yoga teacher. Plenty of craic as well as a workout. Watch out for the dodgy 80s tunes and even dodgier counting ;)

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Kickstart Bootcamp highly enough! I can wholeheartedly say that Gary makes sure his classes cater to all ability and fitness levels. He is supportive and accommodating in this approach so you never feel daunted by what you’re asked to do. I feel that this is a huge reason as to why the Fitness Belfast community is so diverse and ever growing. You will work hard and sweat plenty but you’ll laugh along the way. Oh and I 100% concur with the other comments about Gary’s dodgy taste in music and inability to count correctly... :)

Fantastic experience: Kickstart Bootcamp was a fantastic way to get back into exercise again after having a baby. Gary is a great trainer. He focused on good technique and progression at each session which boosted my confidence with training. By the end of the 10 weeks I felt much stronger, fitter and healthier. Big thanks to Gary!
