Great community of like minded people and trainers who want to get results for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Great Shape Bayside for 2 & 1/2 years & it’s been the best thing I’ve done in a long time. I’ve been to gyms before & have found them large & impersonal with big classes & no close supervision. It’s the complete opposite at Great Shape Bayside. Matt Sutherland is an excellent personal trainer, always positive, professional & on your side. The group classes are small & friendly & you are closely monitored by your trainer. Every class is different, no repetition from week to week. There’s an option to do Zumba too which is the most fun in exercise I’ve ever had. Also add in the bonus of an excellent cafe next door that serves really good coffee. This is this best I have felt in years & I’ve never been happier. I can’t believe how much my body has toned up. I dropped a jean size just from the exercise. My fitness & stamina have increased markedly. I haven’t felt this well physically & mentally for a really long time & I have made some lovely new friends. Another bonus is that it’s dog friendly & my dog trains with me when I do personal training with Matt.

Fantastic experience: My name is Ben, and I have been a client at Core Principles Cheltenham, for about 6 months. I love the feel of this friendly boutique personal training studio where all of the staff and most of the people know each other by name. I initially found the small group training sessions tough and challenging but always felt encouraged by both the staff and other participants. The sessions have variations to allow for the individual needs/abilities of the participants. I have been amazed at the things I am doing now that I found near impossible 6 months ago. I would like to thank Gene and the staff at Core Principles for helping to increase fitness and energy levels to a point where my feeling of well being and confidence have grown enormously. Looking forward to even bigger things in 2014. Kind regards Ben
