I was searching for expert advice and guidance to help me recover from an illness and adjust to my new post menopausal life. I was full of aches and pains and I was starting to feel old in my bones! My usual ways of exercising simply weren't working anymore and I was beginning to despair. Too self conscious to visit a standard gym, I decided to contact Personal Best. My BEST decision! Carl has helped me rediscover my mobility and strength. He has done this gently and gradually so that I never felt it was too much. His light hearted yet effective guidance make each session fun, varied and informative. Carl is passionately knowledgeable about the importance of good food and living well and is full of inspirational tips and ideas to help live a healthy, happy life. And the studio is a lovely light and pleasant work out space. Simply put, the PT sessions have made me feel comfortable again in my body and I feel confident about 'aging well'. If you are looking to improve your fitness and overall wellbeing, I wholeheartedly recommend Carl and the team at Personal Best.Thanks Carl!

Had my first session with Nat today. She was extremely good and took the time to find out me and how well my body moved to ensure I get the most out of our time together. The studio was not overcrowded and everyone I met was lovely and friendly. If you are thinking of getting a PT I would highly recommend Nat

I wanted to recommend Natalie (Personal Trainor) at Personal Best. I have never tried a gym before, but her warm, professional and knowledgeable approach put me instantly at ease. She created a brilliant bespoke programme of exercises that took into account all my specific needs and goals. If you've never been to a gym before and don't know where to start, get in touch with Natalie.

I can thoroughly recommend the fabulous Louise, it's like I have new feet! thank you.

Carl is a fantastic personal trainer. He is incredibly patient and knowledgable, and he has helped me build confidence to train safely without fear of injury. He is reliable, communicates clearly, and always takes the time to explain exercises properly. I genuinely look forward to my gym sessions and have seen real progress thanks to his support. I highly recommend Carl and the team at Personal Best.

Personal Best was just brilliant for getting me back to fitness and ready to cycle round the Isle of Wight. They have also been so supportive and raised so much for Stroud Womens Refuge. The team really care.

I attend a weekly stretch class at Personal Best which has significantly improved my mobility, balance and general fitness. I have also been to their foot health clinic and had appointment for ear wax removal. All the staff are really welcoming, and their attention to detail and professionalism is excellent. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Personal Best for over 12 years so it feels like a home-from-home. I love everything about it from the warm reception of all those who work there to the fun and effective exercise classes and amazing, top-quality treatments. You can feel the heart behind the ethics and beautiful environment created by Carl and Kristine. It is my go-to place for all things concerning my body and I always walk out of there feeling better than when I went in.

I've been attending PB for 8 years now. Kristine first identified why I wasn't able to walk as far as usual without the hips and knees complaining. A pair of insoles were the magical answer. So good to be able to do what I want once more. Kristine is a fount of useful health information, advice and simple exercises. A regular 6 week massage is so beneficial. Also, they look out for opportunities to fill a need eg ear wax removal.
Always a warm and friendly welcome. I love visiting 🤗

Having suffered from a bad back for a few years, I was very happy and relieved to find Alex Seymour at PB. He is a marvel and with his treatments and experience has guided me through to a fabulous result. With Alex's help we were able to identify the issues and work through them with treatments and targeted exercises. After only a few weeks I am able to dance, swim and walk again pain free.
Alex is a very talented, professional and knowledgable practitioner.Thank you Alex, I couldn't be more delighted. I am telling all my friends to come and see you!
