EXCELLENT Based on 58 reviews Posted on S BoardmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Successful course run by Dave again. Always giving helpful advice and tips on fitness. Another great course supported by Basingstoke and Deane council. Bring on the next one!Posted on C DaoutiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy and grateful for the free ‘strength training’ sessions at the Evangelical church community centre in Basingstoke under the supervision of a professional instructor and coach, David Joseph. We have the chance to learn in a group, a variety of different exercises using weights and resistance bands, and safely practice them alongside encouragement, good information and laughter! I have benefited enormously from these sessions and would like them to continue in 2025!Posted on C ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved these classes. They enabled me to resume strength training after a period of absence. David, the coach, was excellent. His exercises were challenging but really useful. I loved the mobility warm up section at the beginning. He ensured my technique was correct, thereby preventing injury. These classes were subsidised by Basingstoke council. We need more of them. Thank you.Posted on N WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great social group to start your strength or fitness journey.

I’ve been to 3 group sessions and have learned so much! Dave is a clear and patient teacher, who instils an “I can do this” mentality. I am looking forward to doing more of his classesPosted on I ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really well worth the time. Brilliant that it was funded by the council.Posted on R CrumpTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The beginners sessions have been very helpful in learning step by step how to strengthen muscle groups in my body. The pace had been good , the directions given clear and it had been great to be part of a group where people help each other . I feel much more confident now with how to use basic equipment and how to build up reps as weeks progress. Thank you for these useful sessions. Very grateful also to Basingstoke and Deans for subsidising these sessions for us all. As an older person , these exercises are useful at building up muscle strength which in turn reduces the risk of falls etc.Posted on S NealeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
