Meet the Founder

Hi, I am Maxine – the founder of Potential Personal Training

We’re thrilled to open our newest personal training gym in Milford, Surrey.

Our mission?

To help those over 40 years old feel fitter, stronger, and more energised so they can continue enjoying life!

So far, we’ve helped thousands of people achieve just that across our 3 other locations in Cowfold, Brighton and Worthing.

With over 600 five-star Google reviews, we’re incredibly proud of our journey so far.

We’re excited to open our fourth location in Milford and have just released exclusive Early Bird memberships with a lifetime discount – but they’re limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

I’d like more information…. Quick before they are all gone!

P.S. Our gyms are small (150 capacity) to maintain a personal service, so they fill up quickly. Get in touch soon to avoid disappointment!

My Story - Maxine

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.

What If I’ve got some injuries or pain?

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?

Perfect! One of our core principles is that it doesn’t matter what your current fitness levels are, all that matters is that you get started and we meet you where you’re at and progress you from there.

We want to show you that exercise can be fun and something that you look forward to incorporating in your day to day life.

  • 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

    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

    This is not a normal gym. So friendly helpful and affective. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area.

  • HIGH blood pressure, boarder line Diabetes, overweight, not really exercised since school.. Hated exercise - YEWWWeeee.... BUT PPT has changed that -Love coming to class.. MIss it and I am grumpy! It s all round approach means not only are they looking after your fitness but you mental well being too. LOVE being part of this community !

    Jo Cheshire Avatar Jo Cheshire

    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

    I survived 4 years. Love it 🙂 Edit: I am still with PPT and it's 9 years of 2 or 3 times a week - in small group sessions with different morning trainers. A great social community as well. And yes, loving it still.

    Lynn Tulip Avatar Lynn Tulip
  • I joined PPT a few months ago - I love my sessions there and feel so much stronger as a result. The sessions go very quickly and there is a great all inclusive ethos which is really important. No matter what level you are at with your fitness you always feel included. If I have ever had an injury the trainers always have an alternative and have great knowledge if what might help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and always look forward to going

    Helen Sutherland Avatar Helen Sutherland

    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

    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
  • Fantastic gym, highly recommend. All the trainers are great, they vary what we do each session, they're friendly and encourage you to go beyond your comfort zone. You are made to feel part of the gym from the moment you start.

    Alex Cottrell Avatar Alex Cottrell

    I highly recommend Potential Personal Training. Maxine and her team are super supportive, friendly and clearly know how to get the best out of their Clients. I have really enjoyed the experience so far and can see myself becoming a long-term member. The other members are also very friendly and supportive and there are no egos. Give it a go!

    Samantha Wooldridge Avatar Samantha Wooldridge

    Potential isn't a gym, its a community. One that supports, inspires and drives you to hit the goals you want, without any pressure to be someone you ain't! Top quality trainers are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Chris Carter Avatar Chris Carter
  • 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

    PPT is so much more than a gym! The clue's in the name - the most fabulous bunch of likeminded people shown how to realise their true potential by some of the best personal trainers in the business!! 👍

    Chris Paul Avatar Chris Paul

    Starting as a client in 2014 I was initially nervous of what was expected of me in sessions. I shouldn't have worried - the staff were (and still are!) super friendly, knowledgeable and approachable; they make you work harder than you think you can, and help you achieve so much. As for the clients - they are amazing!! I am proud to be part of such a great community six years on.

    Liz G Avatar Liz G
  • 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

    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 love my time at the gym, the trainers are amazing, it's like a second family, very friendly! Alsorts of ages, never feel my age when I go! You start at your own speed then you can see overtime how much you have improved! Various classes to choose from too!

    Diane Lehwald  Avatar Diane Lehwald
  • PPT isn't just a gym it's a fantastic community of amazing people. The classes are varied and times to suit all. The trainers are very good at adapting anything to accommodate everyone. The social side is brilliant too with lots of different events happening. I have been a member for 2 and a half years and have made many great new friends! Plus I have found a passion for training and I'm fitter than I have ever been! Give it a shot...you won't regret it!

    Brophy Brophy Avatar Brophy Brophy

    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

    PPT has not only changed my life but it’s saved my life too! From day one I was made welcome and never felt like I wasn’t good enough or couldn’t try anything, it’s amazing how they cover all levels, ages and experience in 1 group. The physical effect of the past 7 months membership can be seen but it’s also been amazing how I’ve changed/improved mentally. I feel so much more positive about life now and it’s all thanks to the amazing team at PPT ❤️ Not sure they’ll ever get rid of me now!

    Suzie Perrott (Suzie.P) Avatar Suzie Perrott (Suzie.P)
  • I have never stuck with a gym before. The trainers are all responsive and fun. They really seem to care, whatever your level of fitness. The other clients are friendly and welcoming. The classes are varied both in content and timing and you get an email reminding you that you have booked in which is the nudge I sometimes need! There's also sensible nutritional advice. It's a fantastic gym!

    Mandy Claiden Avatar Mandy Claiden

    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

    Great understanding of what exercises are required for individual needs. Enjoying exercising more than I have in years.

    Paul Langridge Avatar Paul Langridge
  • 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.

    Phoenix Therapy Practice Avatar Phoenix Therapy Practice

    The most motivated I’ve ever been at a gym, the trainers get to know you and they make the sessions fun. I’ve had great results, more than I thought possible. There’s a lot of variety and choice and booking sessions is super easy. There is also lots of nutritional input if you want it. Everyone is friendly and welcoming which makes it a real community. I’m so pleased to be part of it.

    Clare Parkinson Avatar Clare Parkinson

    I first became a member of PPT 8 years ago and loved the community atmosphere, and personal coaching style. I made great friends, lost weight and grew stronger. Having left for a move to London, years later I’m back in the local area raising a family and attending PPT again. This time around I’m focusing on my mental health; the sessions have really helped me with getting out of my home office, and have given me an hours break from being ‘Mum’. Join if you’re looking for a non-intimidating environment and something more than your conventional gym.

  • Such a friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming environment to train. I have always been really put off by Gyms feeling that they are quite judgemental but that is not the case here at all. For the first time I really look forward to my sessions and feel that everyone around really wants you to succeed in your goals. It took me years to knock on their door..... I only wish I had done it sooner. If you are considering them, pop in and say hi. It will be the best decision you make. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!

    Victoria Clare Avatar Victoria Clare

    Been going here for over a year now and have never really stuck at a 'gym' like I have PPT. I love it. The coaches are great, the classes are always different so it always feels fresh, and the people make it so much more enjoyable. I couldn't recommend it enough...

    Liam Laville Avatar Liam Laville

    The best investment I've made in myself - I'm seeing gains and improvement every session. The coaches are all really friendly, understanding and professional. And the community has been brilliant; welcoming and supportive.
