Common FAQs

What Happens When I Get Started?

Well, before every member starts you’ll get a 1-2-1 Consultation with one of our coaches to make sure you can get off to the best possible start and make sure your experience at PPT is the best it can be. We’ll discuss specific goals and how we can help, any concerns or limitations before you start.

We want to get to know our members before they get started so we know how to help you best! We’ll then set you off with the programme to best suit you so you can get the most out of your time at Potential Personal Training.

Trust me, we’re used to this at PPT. We will discuss any injuries, pain or limitations due to medical problems etc before you get started so that you won’t be made to do anything that makes your feel uncomfortable during your training.

Our coaching team are trained in adapting our programmes to all types of injuries and pain to make sure firstly that you’re safe and stay injury free but also so that you get the most out of your sessions.

What If I’ve never exercised before?

    PPT is great. The trainers are friendly and welcoming but also know when to push you so you get the most out of the sessions. They are knowledgeable so can always change exercises if you need. The PPT community is great!!

    Diane Lehwald  Avatar Diane Lehwald
  • PPT is awesome. Great facilities, PTs, and community. It doesnt feel like most gyms. The No Egos, Just Results motto really resonates. Everyone is awesome, works together, and get results. Cant recommend enough.

    Andy Collen Avatar Andy Collen

    I've been running on and off for years, but have recently joined PPT for strength classes to help me run better. It's been a brilliant experience, with a really friendly, helpful training team and great community of different people.

    John V Willshire Avatar John V Willshire

    I've been a member at PPT since September 2019. It is the first ever gym / training studio that I have joined and its now well and truly part of my life. The people make this place first class, from the fantastic coaches and the rest of the community. There is not a more welcoming environment that I've experienced. The programmed training itself is phenomenal, from large group strength, cardio, boxing and hybrid classes, to both semi private and 1-2-1 PT sessions, there is something for everybody. With additional coaching sessions supporting members with their nutrition, PPT goes the extra mile and some. For me, having never joined a gym before, I lost 4st in just 10 months, so can guarantee you will get results in a non intimidating environment with the best support possible. No egos just results sums it all up!

    Alex Holland Avatar Alex Holland
  • Amazing community and more than just a gym. After struggling to get back into regular exercise after having kids I decided to try PPT and absolutely love it. The classes have so much variety and the trainers take so much care to adapt exercises for each individual. Keeping you moving is a priority and after getting a back injury they helped coach me back to fitness. The support of the community and the trainers means I've been able to make a lifestyle change as opposed to training to 'lose weight' and I love it (even the push ups).

    Lorna Laville Avatar Lorna Laville

    I have been going regularly for a year now and it has become a way of life. You don’t need lots of expensive equipment like many gyms but what they have is very effective. You need knowledgeable, motivating, friendly coaches who design your programme and help you make progress. This is what PPT provides and the effect is that it is popular, fun and you come out feeling great. It’s worth every penny.

    Jeremy Paine Avatar Jeremy Paine

    PPT is not just about getting or keeping fit, its about a whole body approach to your wellbeing. Before starting you have a personal interview with Maxine and she takes you through your where you are currently and where you would like to be. Everyone is helpful and understanding. The nutritional support that goes alongside of the exercise programme is brilliant. Can highly recommend PPT.

  • It's an alright gym with good quality trainers. I just would not recommend doing the Personal Training qualification with them.

    MDK Avatar MDK

    If you want to find some motivation and get back into fitness with likeminded and supportive coaches then definitely give PPT a go. Lovely friendly gym would definitely recommend!

    Nikki Goodeve Avatar Nikki Goodeve

    I have been in and around gyms for the last 35 years, but i have never been in one like this, but this isn't a gym, this is a community where the culture stands head and shoulder above all others. From the first moment i walked in every coach knew my name, the other members are so incredibly welcoming and great fun to be around. Almost as a complete aside there is the fitness and programs which are constantly changing and evolving, it is such a supportive environment that even if you're having an off day or are carrying an injury the sessions are adapted to encourage you to continue. I have found my last gym.

    Phil Maynard Avatar Phil Maynard
  • Great sense of community. It isn't like going to an ordinary gym. The sessions are great and tailored to bring everyone on regardless of their current fitness. Everyone is rooting for you and encouraging. There is nutrition advise and drop in sessions to monitor your progress too if you want it. There is a great social side too. You can get as involved as you want. The trainers are brilliant. There is such a wide range of sessions so you are bound to find your own favourites and with early morning, evening and weekend sessions as well as daytime sessions, you won't have an excuse not to get your sessions in.

    Martine Ratcliffe Avatar Martine Ratcliffe

    I started as a client in 2016 to improve my overall fitness and nutritional awareness. At the time I remember visiting other gyms and personal training companies but there was something different about what Maxine was doing at PPT that made me give them a go - and I’ve never looked back. The coaches are brilliant they know when to push you and when you have more to give but it’s okay to work at your own pace - which can vary from session to session. The best thing about PPT however is the community that they have built. I’ve met loads of great people most of whom are serious about their fitness and wellbeing without being the atypical gym posers. I’ve got injuries (unrelated to PPT) but I’m able to work around them and ensure that I can continue and stay fit and get stronger. Their motto is “no ego, just results” - which sums my experience up brilliantly.

    Allan Potter Avatar Allan Potter

    I have never stayed with a gym before joining here. It is good fun and has kept me motivated. The staff are all lovely. I would really recommend it.

    Scarlet Hutchinson Avatar Scarlet Hutchinson
  • I"ve been coming here about 3 weeks. Started off with strength classes which Im new too and are very challenging for me. The coaches are all positive and supportive. It has a friendly and welcoming vibe and Im enjoying my sessions. The app is easy to navigate. I would highly recommend.

    Love training hard with this amazing group of people. They are the most supportive, encouraging & motivating community/gym I have been a member of. No egos.... just results, they speak for themselves

    Diane Braid Avatar Diane Braid
  • What can I say? Short version - I have lost 2.5 stone in five months and feel as fit as a fiddle. Long version - this is a superb set-up: a great leader in Max with a highly professional long-standing team behind her ('long-standing' is a great sign) and membership is booming (another excellent indicator). I attend four weekly sessions along with my wife with nearly every workout being different. They cater for all shapes and sizes and ages like me (I'm 57) and nothing is ever too much for them. You may baulk at the price but, believe me, it's worth every penny and is fantastic value for money. We need to clone Max and her team and get them around the country. I can't recommend them highly enough. Take a bow!

    Andy Salmon Avatar Andy Salmon

    This is a gym I am going back to regularly and is going to be an ongoing part of my life and my wife's. I am paying more than I had at other gyms, where I got little ongoing supervision or updates on my "program", if I was lucky enough to get one at all. I work out to a level that is safe for me and is effective. With less supervision I have a tendency to not do the right thing or do to much. The instructors are all very good and encouraging. For dieting they encourage carb/ fat/ protein tracking on a phone app, which is easy. They then help with weight loss to see what kind of diet works best for you. Generally people are a bit older or much older than at other gyms. The atmosphere is fun and focused. Not everyone is fit (I am not). They have been very helpful in working around what exercises are safe for me as someone with various injuries: a scoliosis (causing a prolapsed disc), twice torn right calf muscle, plus excessive joint mobility / trapped nerve. Thumbs up 5 stars.

    James Kitching Avatar James Kitching

    Approached PPT with the aim of a quick 3 month blast to rejuvenate my fitness programming. The fact that I am still remain a member now 2 years on is testament to the professionalism and results drive by Max, Connor and the other coaches. All of my compound lifts have better form and significant increase in weight, every year is a PB year. I have introduced my wife to the gym who is a traditional gym no goer and she loves it and is getting great results. A perfect environment for anyone on any part of their fitness journey. They have embraced digital, hybrid and safe in person environments during the Covid-19 pandemic to ensure that all the community continue to benefit from the physical and mental benefits of fitness - chapeau!

    James Roberts Avatar James Roberts
  • Maxine and her team are the best, they know exactly how to get the best out of you and you feel part of a proper community!

    House Proud Finish Cleaning services Avatar House Proud Finish Cleaning services

    Such an amazing place to be, with a brilliant team that has given me life-changing results. Not at all being the 'athletic' type, I soon found out that there was a real sense of community and people of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Thank you to all the team at PPT my time with you has really felt a solid and worthwhile investment!

    Charlie Price Avatar Charlie Price

    I've been with PPT around 6 months - enjoying it so much that I actually want to exercise because it's fun, not because I must, and it's doing me a heap of good physically and mentally! I do strength, boxing and group circuit sessions here. As someone who's shy and dislikes intimidating, crowded gyms and clicky crossfit environments, I have spent considerable time trying to find the right place with decent facilities to establish a regular workout routine with the right support. All the staff at PPT want to understand your goals, and through their knowledge and training they help you push yourself but only to what you're comfortable with. The coaches and the clients I share sessions with are super friendly and down to earth. I've never felt like a number, or pressurised, or judged. They've got the recipe just right here, with small group classes, and with their social and community efforts, and I'm getting fit, so big yays all round!

    Bec M Avatar Bec M
  • The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, always address you by first name and encourage you to do your best. I have also found the community to be welcoming and friendly. Would recommend Potential 100%

    Nick Clifton-Welker Avatar Nick Clifton-Welker

    Maxine and all the trainers are brilliant! I’ve just hit my fourth anniversary and still loving it. The trainers vary the sessions enough to keep them interesting with just the right level of focus on interim goals. Being able to book in via the app means I can fit sessions around any last minute work chaos which is huge plus for me.

    Megan Amber Avatar Megan Amber

    I joined the gym a year ago now. I was very nervous as I was very unfit etc. etc. Everyone has been very welcoming and friendly. The instructors are so helpful and listen if you have any questions or current ailments etc. meaning you can’t do certain activities and so come up with other suggestions for you. I have also been offered and have nutrition consultations which are very useful. I used to go to another gym with no particular instructors and just plodded along not pushing myself but now I am encouraged and stretched and feel much stronger/better. There are 2 venues now with classes throughout the day/evening so plenty of classes to choose from. Come along and join the family.

    Anne Aldridge Avatar Anne Aldridge
  • I joined a couple of months ago and wish I’d joined sooner. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

    Chris Calvey Avatar Chris Calvey

    Love it here. The community is fantastic and so welcoming and the coaches make you feel super comfortable. Sessions are fun and varied, and it's the first time I've truly looked forward to going to a gym. Thanks to all at PPT!

    Tom Hylands Avatar Tom Hylands

    Been going to PPT for about 18 months now and absolutely love it. The PPT team are all just awesome people, and make the place what it is. It's an environment that is pressure-free and so enjoyable. The pre-booked group sessions (rather than just going to a gym when you feel like it) was the motivation I needed to actually keep going week after week. And having a PT there to lead the session, keeping you interested, helping you with technique, is worth every penny. Give it a go, you won't regret it.
