I have achieved more in the last several months working with Derren at Real world fitness and gained so much more confidence in the gym than I have the previous 10 years just winging it at multiple gyms in the area.

He is an exceptionally professional personal trainer and he keeps the gym to an amazing standard and is always very accommodating if I ever have questions or need a hand with anything.

The gym itself is a lovely environment to workout in and is very easy to come and go at any time in the day(or night if I'm feeling eager)
Everyone in there is lovely and chilled out and ego is clearly left at the front door - you'll never find groups of people hogging equipment.

I've occasionally found myself alone in the gym (at seemingly normal hours)able to easily play my own music on the iPad system provided - which is my dream scenario and is a complete flip scenario to commercial gyms at peak times where it's so busy and loud you can't get on any equipment at all.

10/10 Wish I had joined sooner!
