“Like many people I struggled to maintain my fitness during lockdown. I tried home workouts etc but could not achieve the same results as using an actual gym and fitness classes. I knew once lockdown was over I needed something radical to get back into shape and to feel fit and healthy again. I knew I wanted to try out a personal trainer having never tried one before. I did a lot of research and wanted to go for a highly reputable, best-in-class PT facility, hence why I chose Embody.

The initial consultation was great. We went through my current activity levels, fitness goals and took measurements so I had a clear understanding of where I was at, and where I needed to get to to reach my targets. The nutritional aspect was really important given that is half of the journey in itself. I had clear daily calorie and macronutrient targets which kept me on track. The therapy assessment was fine, fortunately I didn’t have any muscular or skeletal imbalances/issues.

My nutritionist Danny was great, friendly, very professional and clearly knows his stuff. I have been training for the last 15 years of my life and the core principles of fitness and nutrition which Danny took me through were in line with what I have learnt over the years, with additional tips. The training program was equally as good, I’ve learned new methods of training, new exercises and have developed the weaker parts of my body to build more well-rounded strength. My PT Joshua was fantastic, very motivating, always had high energy, and consistently offered guidance on ways I could improve my form. He helped me push limits, particularly on days when I would enter the gym feeling tired – I always left feeling refreshed and energised.

To anyone considering a programme at Embody, I would 100% recommend going for it. Even though I have been training for the last fifteen years, I was able to learn a lot in the last 10 weeks, push myself past my limits, and get back to where I wanted to be health and fitness wise. It was exactly what I needed after months of being in lockdown. It has been a breath of fresh air both mentally and physically.”

“Embody Fitness is a superbly staffed and equipped personal training gym offering the best results based training. After over 20 years of messing around in other gyms I decided to go to Embody Fitness to get some proper training and advice. In just 8 weeks Steve, Greg and the rest of the team have taken me from the worst shape in my life to the best. Their sound advice and training on the gym floor was backed up by body composition assessments every 3 weeks and tailoring of nutrition and training in accordance with the results. There is no guesswork here. If you’re serious about getting results from your hard work in the gym I recommend you get yourself down to Embody Fitness.”

“Undertaking the 8 Week Rapid Fat Loss programme has given me fantastic results in a short period of time. Not only was I able to lose a significant amount of body fat, but I also gained a significant amount of muscle mass dropping my body fat from at least 10% down to 6%.

Whilst I have trained for 14 years on my own, this is the first time I have used a PT and let me tell you, they will put you through your paces! After every session I had well and truly used up all of my energy. The sessions were tough because I wanted the PTs to push me to my limits. I have never trained as hard as with Embody Fitness and the amazing physique transformation is exactly what I wanted. The guys are also very knowledgeable about nutrition and are truly experts. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend! Thanks Embody!”

Bob chose to come to Embody Fitness as he had been struggling to achieve the results he desired in the gym. He joined towards the end of the year and trained with Personal Trainer Tom Ward on our 12 week Muscle & Physique programme – impressively keeping up his training throughout the festive period. Bob went from 9% body fat to 6%, and gained 4kg of lean muscle mass on the 12 week programme.

Bob pushed himself every single session and made a real commitment to the nutrition and his lifestyle. He was always asking how to optimise his results and if there was anything else he should be doing to progress. The hard work and drive show in his impressive results – a massive well done from the team at Embody Fitness.

“After being on holiday in February I had a sudden realisation that my clothes were too tight, I felt very unfit and lethargic. I walk a lot with work so I never went to the gym, I thought walking was enough exercise – clearly for me it wasn’t!! At this point I weighed 103kgs and realised I needed to do something about my diet and exercise. That was when I turned to google and found Embody. The testimonials on their website, and the proximity to where I work inspired me to get in touch.

In my initial consultation we discussed my diet and exercise, I quickly realised that my goal of getting healthier and fitter was realistic and achievable. The 12 week body transformation programme was exactly what I was looking for, and from that point onwards I was 100% committed. I haven’t looked back since!

After signing up I was introduced to my nutritionist, Danny. He helped me understand where I was going wrong with my current diet, and enabled me to implement the changes needed for a healthier lifestyle. We met to discuss my nutrition and monitor my progress throughout my programme, I found him incredibly easy to talk to, helpful and supportive.

After meeting Danny I was introduced to my Personal Trainers, James and Joey. Initially I found the training really hard work, as it had been years since I had done any type of exercise. But through their friendly and welcoming manner, encouragement, motivation and constant pushing me to achieve my best, I’m proud to say it’s paid off. I’ve lost 16kgs and 15.5% body fat and feel I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in, both looks and health-wise.

The highlight for me has been when my friends and family have complimented me on how much weight I have lost, and how much healthier I look. It makes me realise it has all been worth it, and I couldn’t have done it without their guidance, support and belief in me to succeed.

I would recommend Embody as they have helped me to achieve all of my goals and given me the tools to continue with a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I look forward to continuing to work with them on my next stage.”

“From the first time I entered the gym I knew it was somewhere I could truly recognise my full potential, not only from the amazing equipment they supply but the incredible vibe the place exudes, it ‘s like nowhere else and is somewhere, and something you have to encounter to truly understand and appreciate.

The environment is purely there to create success and that is blatantly obvious when listening to the way the team wax lyrical about their roles within your transformation. Their experience within the industry, in my opinion, is unrivaled and they are all there to help you achieve your goal. In an industry that, from experience, is difficult to trust, Embody delivers on every level…. with spades.

Professionalism ooze’s from everyone you speak to but not in a arrogant way at all, its more reassuring, its somewhere you know you are in safe hands and almost part of the team. I’ve trained in many different places over the years and I can honestly say nowhere even comes close. As for my trainer, there are no words but let me try. He’s became a friend, someone who wanted me to succeed whole heartedly, sometimes more than I did myself.

Someone I didn’t want to let down! I found myself asking “what would Tek do” when I came to a difficult place within the diet. During workouts he would always get that extra 10% out of me when, the same 10% that if training on my own I wouldn’t, and that’s the difference. I can honestly say I enjoyed every single session and found myself looking forward to an hour of Tek banter! No question was ever unanswered, silly or to much trouble he was a wealth of knowledge and his enthusiasm was infectious.

A true personal trainer in the purest form, he practises what he preaches and that, for me, is key. He knew what to expect, when and how to deal with it, when to push me and when we needed to take a second. An ideal role model for anyone thinking of getting in to the field and someone I look up to.

The rest of the team are all fantastic and were always there with helpful advice, a knowing ear or just a laugh and joke when needed. At this point I feel George needs a special mention. He was always there with a smile on his face and a witty quip, Embody wouldn’t be the same place without you. Thank you so much to everyone at Embody, as Arnold would say….I’ll be back!!” – Ben

From start to finish my experience with Embody was great. The team really know how to push you to your limits whilst keeping the sessions fun and engaging. I felt I have learnt a lot throughout my time here, even my friends are impressed with my new found passion for training! If you are looking for that extra push to get you into the best shape of your life, Embody is the perfect choice.

“After reading about Embody Fitness in City Magazine and seeing the results achieved with their clients I was keen to throw myself into an intensive 8 week programme. The friendly and encouraging atmosphere was a pleasure to be a part of and it really shone through how the entire team where behind me every step of the way. The results I achieved in just 8 weeks have been fantastic, dropping from 18.9% body fat to 11.9% whilst adding a ton of muscle. I feel fitter, stronger, healthier and the lessons I’ve learned with regards to training and nutrition will last a lifetime.”

“To say Embody Fitness lived up to their reputation would be somewhat of an understatement. Such was my trainer’s infectious enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and passion for getting me to the goals I wanted to achieve, that by the second week I was genuinely more afraid of letting him down than myself – a fear that proved useful when the pub was calling or that cheesecake was eyeballing me from the back of the fridge.

When someone is willing to put so much effort into providing you with a bespoke diet plan and tailored fitness regime, the motivation to stick to it summons itself. After just eight weeks I achieved the sort of results I’d spent the last five years failing miserably to get anywhere near.

You’ll find a range of apparatus and level of service you just don’t get anywhere else. More than just the aesthetic transformation he helped me achieve, I left the course feeling stronger, healthier and an altogether more confident person.”

“Following an overindulgent Christmas and Festive Period I came into the New Year not looking or feeling in great shape. So instead of doing the customary annual dry January I decided to make a more committed investment to my health and fitness and looked into a transformation programme with Embody Fitness. I started off with a 4-week Winter Blitz programme then continued onto an 8 week programme, training 3 times per week, with my main goals and objectives of reducing my body fat percentage (to lose the gut), getting back into the routine of training and also developing a more focussed approach to my nutrition, which being honest I’ve always overlooked.

The training sessions were tailored to my individual needs with input from the Embody Sports Therapist and whilst at the start I found them tough, my personal trainer Joey was great at giving me the motivation to succeed and get through them. The strict attention to nutrition, which included a daily tracker to ensure I was sticking to my macros became second nature after a few days of getting used to it. The regular check-ins and re-tests also helped to keep me on track and motivated.

Getting to the end of the programme and seeing the results has been life changing. I succeeded in reducing my body fat from 19% to 11%, I rediscovered my passion for training and am also now a lot more conscious and aware of what I’m eating and drinking. Mission accomplished! I enjoyed the experience so much so that I’ve continued to train with Joey to make even further gains in my strength and physique – and to now get below 10%! Thank you Embody Fitness. Wayne”

“I came across Embody through a friend of mine, he had completed an 8 week transformation at Embody and his results were unbelievable, he suggested I book an appointment to see what I thought, this recommendation has been the best  to date!

My goals were to tone and lose fat, I have always been a member of a local gym and trained to a good standard, so I thought!! However, once I committed to the 12 weeks training program with Embody and met my trainer Bridie,  I realised the error in my ways. I went from going to the gym 4 times a week lifting weights incorrectly and dangerously to progressing in all areas in a safe and more productive way.

The Staff at Embody are all very supportive from start to finish and Bridie my trainer pushed me to the limit, she kept our sessions intense, exciting and left me looking forward to the next one, if your lucky enough for Bridie to be your trainer please expect to sweat and work like never before, but also have a laugh whilst doing so.

The result I accomplished was so surprising, I was really shocked comparing the before and after photos. I now feel fitter, healthier, younger and more confident and can’t wait to see what new goals I can go onto achieve here at Embody.

I would recommend signing up to Embody immediately!!! I wish I done it years ago.

19 year old Vishaal joined Embody with the goal of gaining weight and building muscle. During his transformation he gained 10kg in 8 weeks increasing his body weight from 53kg at 4.3% body fat to 63kg at 5.3% body fat.

With hard work and consistency Vishaal was able to reach his goal of building more muscle mass. He also gained great levels of strength, confidence, and nutritional knowledge.

“I started my fitness journey with Embody last year when I moved to Dubai from Singapore as I was looking for a fresh start on my fitness goals. I had in the past put this as a secondary goal but decided that for myself this needed to change as I was overweight as well as having low energy levels.

My main goals from the start has been to lose the excess weight I had gained over the past few years with bad diet habits as well as not really doing enough exercise to sustain this. 

Going forward I needed to change my mind set to a different direction as well as self-motivation to achieve what I want. 

With this in mind that I have managed to increase my strength as well as losing weight I had gained in the past as well as feeling more energetic. Also, I have been learning lots of new techniques on various lifting movements which has been great as I found I have been able to achieve more than I ever expected to do as well as a good educational tool for oneself.

It’s never easy at the start but once you get into a routine the benefits are worth it. With the right training advice, diet and patience you can achieve results you are looking for.”
