I joined 1st4Fitness for their 6-week programme and absolutely loved it! Paul and Louise are fantastic coaches, striking the perfect balance between offering nutrition advice and encouraging you to push yourself that little bit further each session.Everyone at the gym is so friendly and welcoming, which really helps build your confidence and makes you feel comfortable from day one. Since completing the 6-week challenge, I've signed up to stay because I genuinely can't imagine going anywhere else.I feel fitter, more active, I'm sleeping better, and I've dropped two dress sizes! I can't recommend 1st4Fitness enough, especially if, like me, you find the thought of joining a typical gym a bit overwhelming.

A few years ago, after putting on a little bit of weight during Covid, I decided it was time to make a change. I'd always been a bit put off by traditional gym settings, so I wasn't sure what to expect.Training at 1st4Fitness completely changed my perspective. I never imagined I'd enjoy strength training as much as I do now. Every session is challenging but tailored to my ability, and I've grown so much in confidence along the way.One of the things that really stands out is how genuinely caring and supportive Paul and Louise are. They create such a welcoming, friendly environment where everyone feels encouraged, no matter their starting point. They take the time to get to know you, celebrate your progress, and are always there with encouragement when you need it.A personal highlight for me is being greeted by the pups, who patiently wait behind their little gate to say hello when I arrive. It always puts a smile on my face before I've even started my session.Not only have I become stronger and fitter, but I've also found a form of exercise that I genuinely look forward to. If you're someone who's intimidated by gyms or unsure where to start, I can't recommend Paul and Louise highly enough.

I joined 1st4Fitness as I had tried online pt coaches, expensive gyms with the added costs of PT which gave me some results but then plateaued. What I love about 1st4Fitness is then sense of community, for less than I was paying for a gym + PT sessions I get full nutritional support with check ins that give me accountability, sessions with a PT that understands me and what I want to achieve and celebrate my successes as if it was their own. I am three months in and I have never felt better both physically and mentally. I am getting stronger, fitter and have managed to lose fat consistently week on week. Special mention to Louise - she is an absolute legend!

Paul and Louise have created something really special. Their knowledge, professionalism and passion for helping people achieve their goals is evident in everything they do. No question is ever too much trouble, and they always take the time to offer advice, guidance and encouragement. Their support has helped me build confidence in weight training and stay consistent, even when life gets busy.What truly sets 1st4Fitness apart is the atmosphere. Walking into the gym is always a positive experience. The members are welcoming, friendly and supportive, creating a community where everyone feels comfortable regardless of their experience level. It's rare to find a gym where people genuinely encourage one another, but that's exactly what Paul and Louise have built.I am incredibly grateful for everything Paul and Louise have done and for the wonderful community they've created. 1st4Fitness has had a hugely positive impact on my health, fitness and confidence, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for a supportive, welcoming gym with expert coaching and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the place to be.

1st4Fitness has been a game changer for me. Went through the menopause, put on weight, lost strength and was tired all the time. I tried every diet out there nothing worked, I didn’t feel like me anymore, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. Then one day when I was at my lowest I saw an advert on Facebook and thought why not give them a try and I’m so pleased I did. I’ve lost two and a half stone and got back into my favourite clothes. I’ve also met some really lovely people there who have been in the same boat as me and now I feel like me again. Got my strength back, got my figure back, got my energy back. Forget pills and injections, and different diets, spend your money wisely and use these guys, you won’t regret it. Everyone who goes is so supportive and friendly. Hope to see you there to hear your story. 💋

This is the first time in my life I have been consistentl with my exercise. Paul, Louise and team are fantastic, it’s not just exercise you get it’s also education about looking after yourself with exercise and food. The atmosphere at the gym is nice and I feel very comfortable, not judged but also encouraged to do better. If you would like a long term healthy lifestyle with hands on couches, join 1st4fitness Bicester, I am so glad I did xx Hazel
