Very happy with personal training sessions here - Derran is a knowledgeable and experienced trainer who took time to understand my goals and tailors the sessions well for me. The atmosphere at the gym is friendly and welcoming.

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!

Derran made me feel relaxed and comfortable within myself. He is both professional and personable and always made me feel like I could do my best.
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1. No Overcrowding = No Wasted Time

Ever spent 15 minutes waiting for a bench, or had to reorganise your workout because every squat rack was taken?
In a capped gym, that simply doesn’t happen.

A calm, uncrowded gym – even at peak times

We limit the number of members, which means:

• No queues for equipment

• No waiting around

• No stress—just efficient, focused sessions every time

2. A Supportive, Personal Environment

You’re not just a barcode or a face in the crowd. At Real World Fitness:

• We know your name

• We know your goals

• And we genuinely care about your progress

Our capped model helps create a community, not a cattle market.

3. Proper Equipment for Real Results

Commercial gyms often prioritise quantity over quality. We don’t.

At Real World Fitness, you’ll find:

• High-quality strength and conditioning equipment

• Specialist kit you won’t see in generic gyms

• A layout designed for real-world training, not just selfies and gimmicks

4. Clean, Safe, and Professional

With fewer members using the space, you get:

• Cleaner facilities

• Better-maintained equipment

• A respectful training atmosphere where everyone is there to work

5. Access to Real Coaches, Not Just Floor Staff

In many gyms, getting help means flagging down an overworked staff member who may or may not be qualified.

• Slow or stalled progress

Then investing in a capped membership gym is a no-brainer.

You’ll spend less time waiting, get better results faster, and enjoy every session more.
