Most say they train with us despite the travel aspect because membership is capped, and the gym never becomes overcrowded.

What Clients Say

“I was a member at one of the high end gyms in Bridgford, but I didn’t really use any of the facilities other than the gym, and that was just too busy at 6pm. I wanted to keep training but some nights just couldn’t face it. My friend had been training at RWF and recommended it as quieter – it’s been brilliant”
Stephen, West Bridgford

“I wanted a PT, but I didn’t want to do it at the gym I train in normally in West Bridgford. I talked to Derran and loved that he wasn’t insistent about me changing gyms, and I could still PT with RWF. I’ve since joined anyway!”
