Feedback from students

  • "Great session with our coach today, really informative and encouraging spending an equal amount of time with everyone. The core workout at the end was also excellent!"

  • "Amazing session today - loved it as always, learnt loads and had fun thank you :)"

  • "It's great to work consistently with a coach who gets to know you and your needs, and to have a team to cheer each other on. It's a real social highlight of my week!"

  • "The reason I love my team membership is primarily the quality of the coaching; I get far more from these sessions in terms of coaching that I assumed. I had entered into it thinking it was quite an expensive social club but am reassured by the benefit of the coaching I get. It’s a very good atmosphere as well and I love it as my start to a Saturday."

  • "It's great to try things I wouldn't normally. My coach has great insight on movement and tips on body positioning."

  • "I love learning/reinforcing techniques/drills and being able to get feedback on projects/movement. Learning/motivation from others is really helpful as well!"

  • "I enjoy climbing with a big group and learning ways to improve my climbing. The advice I’m given by our coach is always very specific and well delivered."

  • "The things I enjoy most are simply having fun trying things outside my comfort zone. Our coach is fantastic - he’s great at allowing creativity, super respectful of high fear days and in general has really fun lessons planned. I know I’ve been a difficult student at times but he always finds a way and the difference it has made is staggering."

  • "I love the social side and encouraging atmosphere, good focus on mindset and structured blocks of training, an opportunity to try hard each week, good encouragement to persevere with hard projects and I learn a lot about dynamic movement!"
