Ignition Health Private Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Ignition Health changed the way I feel about fitness. The coaches meet me where I’m at, cheer me on, and create a space that feels safe, energising, and real. It’s not just about workouts for them, it’s about personal progress, building community, and showing up with heart. They're welcoming, supportive and an absolutely amazing crew.
Fantastic experience: WOW - Where do I start. Started 6 weeks ago with my first PT session at the age of 51. Sam made me feel so comfortable and safe. I started doing 3 classes a week pretty quickly. Sam and Courtney are so kind, non-judgemental, and uplifting. The classes are small, fun and like a wee group of girls having fun. I feel stronger and more confident every time I enter and leave the gym. I have found my space to become stronger. I have found my tribe to have fun with. I thank Sam and Courtney for everything you do to support me individually every session. You are stuck with me lol. Let's get STRONG and CONFIDENT together ❤️ ✨️
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of a few gyms over the years, usually I sign up, go twice, see a bunch of mirrors in my face, a pile of super fit lycra wearers, feel talked down to by trainers that made me feel old - and due to feeling uncomfortable or out of my depth, I have continued my committed relationship with my couch - never to return. Ignition health however really stood out. From the moment you contact them you’re greeted by friendly, knowledgeable Sam - a major highlight who genuinely cares about your fitness journey — professional, motivating, and approachable, he takes the time to understand your goals and offer practical, sustainable advice without pressure. The gym itself is small, spotless and just feels like a good space to be in - rather than a vast array of complicated and daunting machinery. What I appreciate most is the variety. Whether you’re into weight training, cardio, body weight resistance, boxing or just having a ‘reason’ to be working out and away from the house the different group fitness classes are fantastic, or, if I’m just needing a set personal session with Sam to get goals in order (or push harder past your plateau points) Ignition Health pretty much has it all. I’ve always loved the access to so many classes at varying times 6 days a week ( makes me really have no excuses) and for over 10 years now I have enjoyed coming, then falling off the wagon, then joining again and wondering why I did that?!?! Over and over…. BUT one thing I can say is I will ALWAYS return because between the trainers and the other members it feels like a family in this place and if you’re starting over after long term injury, years off, post pregnancy or as a first timer alike… you are in a safe space to get fit, be active and improve yourself without judgement, and that to me is what makes Ignition worth 100 stars Long story short… is it worth a shot ? Answer - absolutely, you won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend men’s evening group. Sam’s careful professional supervision with all the exercises. Meets my fitness goals. Great small friendly gym.
Fantastic experience: Have just started back after 15months off. Sam is great the way he encourages you and make sure you are doing the exercises right so you don't get any injuries.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Ignition Health for a while now and I can't speak highly enough of Sam. From day one, Sam has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. He takes the time to tailor each session to my needs, always pushing me just the right amount while making workouts enjoyable and rewarding. The atmosphere at Ignition Health is motivating and welcoming, with a strong sense of community and a focus on real, lasting progress. Thanks to Sam’s guidance and encouragement, I’ve noticed real improvements in my strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
Fantastic experience: A safe and supportive space to start a journey of fitness. Forever grateful for my start at Ignition.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly, calm atmosphere. Sam is always punctual. He understands what is required for any problem you may have with movement. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The best gym ever! Small classes with a brilliant personal trainer at every class. At 56 I’ve finally learnt to love the gym. It’s just fantastic- couldn’t recommend it highly enough
Fantastic experience: Love my workouts at Ignition Health. Sam and Courtney make the classes fun and cater to everybody's needs, and abilities. Small classes, with lots of laughs!! Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Awesome awesome awesome! Staff and community/other members have been nothing but supportive and each session is catered to everyone's different abilities and goals. Small group sessions and the great team make this possible. Different types of classes with people like myself, and a fantastic holistic approach to fitness/well-being. Tight-knit community with social gatherings and weekly achievement-sharing. Cannot recommend these guys more! 10/10. Thank you Sam and Courtney!
Fantastic experience: I've been enjoying my time at Ignition with Sam for over a year now. Professional, personable and motivating. I miss every session I can't get to. I enjoy my "lads sessions" in the evenings, and the inherintly competitive couples session I get to do with my wife each week is also a blast. Highly recommend this bespoke and fun place to workout.
Fantastic experience: It was a very professional, supportive environment. Two years on, and I still love going to Ignition Health.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to classes. Love mixing it up with boxing, burn zone and strength. Great staff !!
Fantastic experience: Ignition Health has made a huge difference in my life. when I started I was 114kg. Struggling to catch my breath. Found climbing stairs differcult and getting down onto and up off my knees near impossible. I have now lost weight in double digits, have energy to burn and a whole lot of new friends/supporters. Sam is an absolute expert at helping you achieve more than you think is possible. The support you get from the other members makes keeping it up easy. Work outs have become enjoyable "social" events. Highly recommend Ignition Health over any other gym, diet or health & fitness program.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic small classes Sam will push you as hard as you need
Fantastic experience: The first step to start a change can be tough , but at Ignition, your step is into a welcoming space full of women on their own journeys but supporting each other. Sam knows so much about the physical, nutritional and really importantly the emotional and "mind stuff". Never pushes too much but works with you to achieve your goals. We also have fun
Fantastic experience: I am not usually one to go to the gym as I have never liked the experience at your usual gym with 100s of machines and blaring music. I initially joined to support my partner in getting in shape for our upcoming wedding. After meeting with Sam and getting a body scan we started working towards a healthier lifestyle with great support and motivation from Sam. He is very knowledgeable and pushes you without creating stress. The small class size means that each class is tailored to what the attending members need. After 6 months of classes I am enjoying it so much that I will keep going even after the wedding.
Fantastic experience: When I first decided to invest in my health and go back to a gym, I knew I didn’t want the environment you see all over social media in the classic gym selfies. I also certainly didn’t want to be in an environment where you didn’t feel fit enough, that I didn't know what I was really doing, I lacked guidance, and struggled to remember the correct form. Sam has created an incredible atmosphere where all of my barriers have been removed. I love the varied and challenging classes, where no two days are the same. He creates a focus on taking achievable steps and creating attainable goals to better your health and fitness. The only thing you need to bring is yourself. You gain confidence, find motivation, and strength you never knew you had. I am so incredibly excited about the results I have achieved so far and am excited to see how I can continue to gain. If you’re looking for someone who is interested in your success, there is nowhere else I could recommend more highly.
Thank you so much Alicia. We love having your positive energy at the Classes
Fantastic experience: Getting back into a gym was a daunting prospect for me after an injury. With Sam's caring guidance and the small class format I have really enjoyed the process. For me personally it has been the best thing I've done for myself mentally and physically in a long time. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I've been doing evening sessions here for a few years now and have found it is a great way to stay active over winter and I am amazed at the strength and visible changes that I have achieved over that time. I've also found it to be a great social experience with Sam and other attendees being friendly and supportive. Highly recommend trying Ignition Health out to see if it suits you as well as it suits me.
Fantastic experience: fantastic! If I could give more than 5 stars then I would. Such a unique environment that can't be provided by a gym. It's about the mind, body and soul and alignment of all those factors to get the best version of yourself.
Fantastic experience: Ignition is the perfect answer to a healthy and happy lifestyle without the stress that can come with public gyms. The relaxed and family friendly atmosphere of the studio really helps to achieve your goals.
