Performance Playground

Fantastic experience: Hands down, this has to be one of the best gyms in the area with the most experienced coaches around! I’ve been training at PP for over 2 years. I joined after 18 months at an entry level gym going to HIIT / weight / cardio classes following having kids, and felt like I’d hit a plateau. I needed more of a challenge, trialed another popular franchise gym but classes felt rushed and more of the same, with no opportunities to challenge yourself further, e.g. lifting heavier weights etc. Enter Performance Playground. I’ve learnt so much from James and his team of brilliant coaches, my weight lifting technique has been improved and refined, I’ve discovered skills I never thought in my life I’d be capable of attempting, (e.g. weighted chin ups, hand stands, ring muscle ups, and other gymnastics skills), as well as feeling stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been. I’m continuously improving, learning something new every time I go, improving my technique and pushing PB’s. The workouts are fun and you tangibly see and feel the progress with the work you put in. There’s always a way to challenge yourself further in so many aspects. It’s also the most friendly and fun community I’ve ever experienced in a gym environment with an amazing group of people trying their best, giving it a go and encouraging everyone around them. There are some seriously fit and talented people around you to motivate you here! If you’re sitting on the fence, just come and experience PP for yourself!

Fantastic experience: A simply amazing gym with a great welcoming community. You can tell right away that James is super passionate about helping people be their best and he's curated a super friendly and supportive community. The mix of weight lifting, high-intensity training, cardio and gymnastics is a game changer. They also offer personal and semi-personal training programs that are curated to your fitness goals, not just cookie cutter programs. I highly recommend anyone check it out no matter your fitness level!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of! I joined PP just over a year ago, and I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made in strength, skills, and cardio thanks to the mix of classes and the way the blocks are created. I particularly love the gymnastics classes, and understanding all the smaller progressions and strength to build up to the final movement. James, Judd, Louis, and Laura are incredible coaches, extremely knowledgeable and always giving great personal feedback to help with progression. James has done an amazing job building such a welcoming community, everyone’s so friendly, and we all enjoy every class. I couldn’t recommend this gym more!

Fantastic experience: Performance Playground has changed the game in hitting the gym. The classes are well rounded from gymnastics targeting muscles you never normally focus on, to consistent and challenging lift classes. The variety of skills developed combined with programming for targeting lifting moves means no two sessions are the same. The team have curated an amazing community of people, whilst providing the highest level of professional and personal coaching!

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank James and the whole PP family enough! I walked into the gym having never trained or touched a barbell, and James was patient, knowledgeable and supportive from that very first class. Fast forward more than 3 years and he has maintained that same attentive and encouraging attitude, and I have not only found a love of training, learning new skills and being pushed to challenge myself; but also a genuine community and many lifelong friendships. I was gutted when I moved house and PP was no longer my local, but that’s great news for you as it means there’s one more free spot in class! If you’re looking for a gym and coaches that celebrate your strengths, weaknesses, good days, bad days and everything in between, this is it. Also extra special shout out to Coach Judd for embracing my evening class chaos! I wouldn’t be the athlete I am without you!

Fantastic experience: You should definitely give this place a try! The coaches are super friendly, and the members are so kind—it just feels warm and welcoming here. I had such a great time working out, and James made everything so easy to understand that even as a beginner, I feel like I can do anything gymnastics. Thank you so much! I'll be back for sure!

Fantastic experience: Quality gym with a nice variety of classes and good people.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches, great facilities, a solid mix of small-group class types that are rewarding at all skill levels, and an awesome community. Joining Performance Playground was one of the best choices I made in 2023, and 18 months on I still highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at PP for the last 6 months. I made the move because I was looking for a program that would challenge me and allow me to continually learn new skills and that I have. The diversity in classes is exceptional - gymnastics teaches me things I never thought were possible for someone like me. The lift programming is consistent and focused which has helped me hit new PBs I never dreamt of. Sweat is a whole lot of fun with great people and great support. Highly recommend this wonderful happy place of joy.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey at Performance Playground about a month ago, and I am so impressed at how stronger I am becoming day after day.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and coaches!! Fun atmosphere that challenges you, highly recommend the gym

Fantastic experience: I'm really enjoying Performance Playground! I love that there is such a strong emphasis on education and correct technique! Rather than just going as hard and fast as you can. Only been here for a few weeks but I can tell I'm already moving better and don't feel completely gassed like what you might normally feel at a generic and commercial gym class. Thanks James for sharing the important knowledge :)

Fantastic experience: Great community empowering you to do your best with every workout. Not been bored once every workout is fresh, innovative and fun!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this studio for a few short months and have had only positive experiences. The classes are all well curated and different to anything I’ve experienced elsewhere, and I always look forward to attending despite being a beginner. The instructors are all highly experienced and encouraging, and spend the time to teach and correct. They’ve created a lovely community and I appreciate the level of professionalism and thought put into the programs.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a great workout with knowledgeable and approachable coaching, look no further than PP. They offer a wide selection of workouts, from Sweat, Lift and Gymnastics (to name a few) at varying times throughout the week alongside being a welcoming and friendly community! Couldn't be happier that I joined and would highly recommend. It doesn't matter if you're totally new to exercise or a CrossFit expert, all levels are welcome!

Fantastic experience: I have never been more motivated to exercise! It is such a fun environment, with the friendliest members and most amazing coaches - James and Judd are the best! Seeing my gains every week is the best part. Never before had I experienced such progress! I would recommend PP to anyone in a heart beat.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never had success with other gyms, Performance Playground has been a breath of fresh air for me. I joined to improve health and fitness and to lose a few kilos and Performance Playground has been fantastic in helping me to do this. Equally if you have a specific goal you're training towards, PP can make that happen as well. But the thing that makes the place really stand out is the coaching team. They have a depth and breadth of experience that really shows and are always positive, always motivating and it makes Performance Playground the great place to train which it is.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Performance Playground for the past six months and it has been a rewarding journey. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and there is a good mix of classes for people who want to focus on strength, stamina, or flexibility. As someone who has struggled to put on muscle in the past, I have noticed significant results within a short time at PP. Would highly recommend training here!

Fantastic experience: I think this might be the first time I’ve actually left a google review- says a lot about how much I love, love, love this gym! Joined a few months ago, and can’t say enough good things about it PP offers a diverse selection of classes, and allows me to improve my strength & cardio fitness whilst also exploring new skills to learn in gymnastics. The coaches are exceptional- Judd, Laura, James & Louis all foster a winning spirit in the PP community, alongside being incredibly skilled at their own craft. Goals are truly supported whether they sit inside or outside of the gym! I feel lucky to be part of such an amazing, motivating community ☺️

Fantastic experience: If you’re after a fitness family to share your struggle & gains Performance Playground is definitely worth a try ! I started training at performance playground twice a week as a way to regain my strength & mobility after a long.break from fitness due to an abdominal surgery ( my core was so weak that I was suffering with constant back pain ) I found the exercises in class progressive & achievable , allowing my body to heal at a steady pace & regain strength. This intimate training space has now become my local. It offers a safe space for beginners interested in gymnastics & weights with a doable approach. Coaches have broken down the skills making accessible to most & adaptable to all levels & skills . I feel so much stronger & my back pain has really diminished - I know with more classes it will only get even better . Thx to all the team for showing up early morning & making it so fabulous for us !

I have been to many gyms and many personal trainers but Performance Playground combines the best of both worlds. You get personal training in a community environment. The diversity in the classes means there is something for everybody while at the same time learning a new skill. James, Fran, and Judd all bring their unique styles of coaching to bring fun and professionalism to help you achieve results. Come to get results, stay for the vibes! Thanks Performance Playground for creating such a fun environment.
