RISE Reviews 

Since joining The Academy 9 weeks ago, I have totally change my approach to diet, exercise and working out in a gym. The coaches are so friendly and supportive and full of useful information and the atmosphere is great. I wasn't looking to lose much weight, but ended up losing 11 pounds in 8 weeks. My goal is to stay fit and have the energy and mobility to enjoy life with my family and so far the improvements I've made have convinced me I've come to the right place.

Fantastic place. Great fun and loads of support.

So I’ve been at the academy since October and I’ve lost nearly 40lbs! I’ve always been fairly active but never really been interested in going to a gym regularly. However, I’m addicted! I go 5 times a week usually and it’s because yes I want to get fit but it’s also about meeting up with like minded people who become friends! The instructors and the ninjas are friendly and really welcoming to anyone who’s brave enough to take that first step! It’s the best thing you will do!

Lots of help on hand with exercise diet or just life in general. They really try and help you reach your goal, whatever your starting point you will feel supported and see improvement. Lost 26lb in 8 weeks - I smile when I get on the scales !

A great place! So pleased a took the plunge and did the challenge. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. Endless support and advice regarding nutrition and exercise. The sessions are fun and effective. These things together make achieving your goals so much easier!!

I was worried I wouldn't stick to the exercise because I haven't really enjoyed any kind of exercise since I finished dancing about 12 years ago. It was one of them things I thought I'd give a go, but in the back of my mind I thought I'd hate it. Didn't think group exercise would be my thing at all. But I was 100% wrong. It's motivated me more than anything I've ever tried before and I can't imagine not coming to classes now. Really recommend

Great experience, lost weight, feel fitter and have more engergy. Love the training sessions, they are good fun.

I can highly recommend the academy to anyone that is looking to get fitter, healthier and change their lives. I have just completed the 20 pounds weight loss challenge and feel great.

Looking forward to my second challenge. Feel fitter, motivated and healthier! The academy is friendly and supportive and I've totally enjoyed going even at 6 am!

I rejoined the academy 3 months ago and really wish I had never stopped. I have just completed another 20lb challenge and already feel fitter and healthier. The sessions are great fun and the coaches are really supportive in helping you reach your goals. I can’t recommend the academy enough, if you are looking to loose weight in a fun and supportive environment this is the place for you.

I joined The Academy to do the 20lb challenge. I've lost 22lbs and feel stronger and fitter than I have in years. This is a really special place. The Coaches know their stuff and they educate and motivate everyone to be the best they can be. There is a friendly atmosphere and everyone encourages each other. This is the best decision I've made in a long while and I can't recommend it highly enough.

I would thoroughly recommend the Academy. I have been a member for 2 months and during that time I have become fitter, healthier, stronger and now have more energy and motivation . I have also lost over 18lbs in weight ! This has happened with the support and encouragement of knowledgeable coaches and friendly club members ! This is a fab place :-)

Since joining The Academy 2 months ago I’ve lost 21lbs with the help of experienced knowledgable staff and supportive members. The sessions are fun and informative and I can thoroughly recommend it.

I joined The Academy 9 weeks ago today & I love everything about it, the support & encouragement from coaches and other fellow Ninja’s, the sessions, the warm friendly environment and the fun we have whilst working hard 🏋🏻‍♀️
I have learnt so much about nutrition, excersising, & my own body needs.
I feel transformed which is what I am🤗
I was on the 8 week 20lb challenge & have successfully completed it now, by losing 21lb 👍🏻
I am planning to continue with the academy and learning more about myself and what I can achieve, whilst maintaining a slow and steady weight loss until I get to my own personal goal 😊
I’m so pleased with my body transformation, my new healthy, enjoyable eating & the change in my mindset & lifestyle 😊
I’m Looking forward to enjoying my 1st social event with the Academy ninja’s & coaches in December 🎄🎅🏻🍽🍷
I cannot reccomend the Academy enough, thanks to all for your continued support, advice, encouragement to push myself in sessions & the fun we have whilst doing it 🥊🏋🏻‍♀️

I have found the whole experience enjoyable rather than a challenge. The support and encouragement I've received is unique. The workouts have been varied throughout and always offer an element of competition (but only against yourself). Having completed my Challenge I find myself back at the Academy and still enjoy the sessions. I continue to leave them feeling more positive and motivated than when I arrive!! Try it for yourself and see!

If your serious about losing weight and getting fit then the Academy is for you.
Jon,Matt and all the other trainers are there to help and guide you through the sessions which are well planned.
I lost over 20lbs in 7 weeks and felt fitter and stronger than I have done for many a year. If I can do it,so can you.
C'mon take the challenge and see what a difference it can make for you.

without doubt the best decision ive made joining the academy in just 8 weeks they have helped me lose 30lbs with there superb enjoyable training in a friendly enviroment and the added eating guidance FTDI

After 2 months at The Academy I've lost 21lbs, and feel so much happier and healthier. The Academy is different to anything I've done before, and the results are amazing. If you don't believe me try it yourself!!

I joined the academy around 8 weeks ago with the aim of losing some excess weight. 9 weeks on and I have lost 26lbs, the academy has a great atmosphere and everybody is always friendly. The classes are hard yet rewarding and fun, if you want to lose some weight, have fun and get fit this is the place to be.

I decided it was time to do something about my out of shape bod. Like most, making the first step is the hardest part. Making the decision then walking into an unknown environment to meet people I don't know. How will I be received? Will I be judged, laughed at, ridiculed?
I needn't have worried. I, and my fellow newbies, were welcomed by smiling friendly faces. Offered a drink then given an explanation of the whole process. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honest down to earth information.
So now I'm excited and enthused. Chomping at the bit to get started on my journey to a new me.
"Even a journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step" I've taken that first step, just got to keep on walking. Looking forward to the trip
