Electric energy, positive vibes constantly. The group sessions are intense but so fun and I always walk away feeling incredibly good about what I've accomplished in that session. Highly recommend to anybody wanting to get back into exercise and to feel great.

I am 70 and really enjoying going to victory gym. Yes, I did say enjoying! It's not like any other gym It's much more like going along with friends who encourage and show you the correct way to do things. That's not always the hardest things or heaviest or fastest. It's just doing the exercise correctly And therefore getting the most out of it. They have encouraged me so much that I've now signed up to run the London marathon in April who knew that was even possible, but they did thanks to victory.lap.

I joined Victory Lap Fitness on the 6 week kick start in August after struggling with the motivation to get to my usual gym and haven’t looked back! The coaches are brilliant, ensuring all exercises are performed safely, but also making them challenging and fun. You might walk in not knowing anyone, but you leave each session having met some brilliant people.

I attend the 50+ sessions sessions twice a week. They are great fun and very good for my health. James and Stu make certain that everyone gets individual advice if they have anything that would prevent them doing one of the challenges. The challenges are varied every session so no complacency. Would recommend.

Victory Lap is an incredibly welcoming gym, inclusive of all ages, abilities and experience levels. Stu and Beth have created more than just a training space — they’ve built a supportive, encouraging community. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to try something new outside of a standard commercial gym. It reignited my passion for fitness. Go and test yourself!

Victory Lap is by far one of the best decisions I have made in 2025. Admittedly I had reservations before joining; I didn't want to subject myself to the stereotypical culture of gyms, however I immediately learnt this does not exist here. What you do find at Victory Lap is consistent support, genuine care and a great group of motivational people to train alongside.Stu, Beth and James are all fantastic coaches. They go above and beyond, not only in creating workouts to challenge and improve your fitness, but also to curate a community of fun, kind and like minded people.Their ability to listen and provide guidance has meant that simple and manageable changes, combined with considered workouts has allowed me to move toward my goals. My mindset has adjusted to one where I now see the value in strong over skinny, that the effort I put in today is investing in my future health and that the number appearing on my bathroom scales is not a measure of my fitness. It is such a relief to be confident in my skin again and to know that the effort I am putting in, with their coaching and support, is paying off.Don't think twice about joining the Victory Lap team, it's a choice I promise you won't regret!

Victory Lap has a fantastic gym space with excellent experienced instructors who are supportive and encouraging. The small group PT sessions are ideal whether you are a beginner or seasoned gym goer. Give it a go, you won’t regret it!

2025-10-18T15:03:38.821Z

When I joined Victory Lap’s 6-week challenge, I expected to gain some strength and lose a bit of weight, but I ended up getting so much more. I found an incredible community of people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. The small-group PT sessions are brilliant, you get personalised guidance from all three trainers (Stu, Beth, and James), plus the motivation and camaraderie of working out alongside others. Honestly, the best gym ever!

Great gym with superb small group coaching

2025-09-18T19:06:19.364Z

I’ve been going to Victory Lap since just after the pandemic. I still remember sitting in my car outside, debating whether to go in. I wanted to, but I was so scared. But, I walked through the doors, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s changed my life, both inside and outside the gym.The community here is next level. You’ll never feel out of place, everyone is welcoming and supportive.If Victory Lap keeps popping up on your feed, take it as a sign. Go for it. It might change your life too.

2025-09-15T09:50:05.430Z

Absolutely love these workouts, great people, friendly and encouraging without high pressure. Their ethics and fitness style is really hitting the spot for me.

2025-08-31T22:25:58.550Z

So much more than just a gym. I joined Victory Lap earlier this year having tried (and given up) various gyms and classes elsewhere. It has to be the best decision I’ve made in a long time. From the minute I messaged them asking if they could help, Stu, Beth and James took time to understand me, what success looked like for me and the barriers that stood in my way.Their support extends well beyond the well thought out and friendly classes, with guidance on nutrition and encouraging movement in your everyday life. Their aim to help you build a habit.They recognise that real life can get in the way, that it’s ok to eat ice cream and drink beer, and so their messages of support and the respect they’ve earned inspire you to achieve your goals.Am proud to be part of the Victory Lap community.

I am obsessed with VL!! The team are super supportive, knowledgeable, and just all round lush people, the atmosphere is always energetic and motivating. Plus, the equipment is top-notch and the classes are always a blast! I've seen real results since joining, and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym that feels like family and makes working out fun with great results 😁 xx

Stu at Victory Lap has been my trainer for the last two years. He has helped immensely to build my strength, both post and pre knee and hip replacements. He is firm but fair and also encourages me to eat properly. I am 72 years young and leave my bi weekly sessions feeling inspired and in control. Highly recommend.

2025-06-26T09:54:27.155Z

Training with Victory Lap has been an absolute game-changer. The small group sessions strike the perfect balance between personalized attention and the motivation that comes from working out with others. James brings incredible energy, deep knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping everyone improve no matter their fitness level.Each session is thoughtfully structured, challenging, and fun. Tailored exercises to individual needs while keeping the group dynamic strong and supportive.I’ve seen real progress in my fitness and confidence since joining, and I always leave sessions feeling accomplished.

2025-05-28T10:46:48.164Z

From the moment I walked in through the door I felt welcomed supported and inspired. The people are incredibly friendly it’s not just a gym it’s a community. The coaches are amazing genuinely invested in helping everyone become the best version of themselves. Whether you are just starting out or pushing towards a goal they are with you to help you grow in confidence and strength. Joining Victory Lap is the best decision I ever made

2025-05-15T15:25:03.898Z

I have been training at Victory Lap since the end of last year, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness and wellbeing. The progress I’ve seen has been really encouraging, but what stands out most is the atmosphere. Beth, Stu and James are genuinely supportive — knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly invested in helping people reach their goals. There’s also a really positive feel among the other members; it’s a place where people work hard but still make space to be friendly and encouraging. It’s a great community to be part of, and I’d honestly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym that’s welcoming, well-run, and effective.

2025-05-06T15:16:10.000Z

After not exercising for a while my fitness level had really dropped and I gained weight. I have just completed the 6 week kick start program and absolutely loved it. Stu has helped me get my fitness levels back on track with training and accountability. The training sessions are encouraging, motivating and fun. There is a real team spirit at Victory Lap. I love coming to Victory Lap and would highly recommend coming here to train. Fantastic support from Stu and Beth.

2025-04-22T06:09:50.473Z

The team at victory lap have built something great at this gym. It's a really supportive, positive and inclusive environment!

2025-04-18T21:00:40.845Z

I have been doing online training with Beth for about a year, I live in Australia, and Beth has made it seem like she’s right here with me. I love the workouts and the adjustments made to suit me and my goals as well as the weekly check ins that validated that life is hard and sometimes the workout isn’t your best and that okay! When I did get to visit Victory Lap in person, the gym was stunning. The location is unmatched and the energy is warm and welcoming. It truly is the best gym around! I would recommend this to anyone, in person training or online. So grateful for Beth and Stu and the Victory Lap family they’ve created! 😊

2025-04-15T12:22:11.060Z

Love this gym, great coaches and community!

2025-04-04T13:24:43.603Z

I cannot speak highly enough of Beth, Stu and the whole Victory Lap family. If you are looking at reviews to help make up your mind if you should give them a go, I won’t make you read through my ramblings, it's a big old yes, you absolutely, 100% should!One of our friends recommended them when my husband was looking for options to work on his fitness, he was looking for small group PT that he could go to a few times a week and see progress. Not only has that happened he gets so much more out of it than just the fitness side.My journey was a little different. I needed something that I could do at home, to start with. We’re fortunate to have a bit of space and some equipment so Beth and Stu provided an at home training and short term nutrition schedule taking into account what we have available. It was challenging but incredibly rewarding and I love it so much I now do 2 home sessions, one small group PT (with an incredible bunch of humans) mid-week and a Hybrid class on a Saturday to really double down on the cardio side! Add in the monthly run club and I’m a fully paid up member of the VL fan club and what it can do for you physically and mentally in a brilliantly safe, non-judgemental and happy space.It’s the first time in a long time that I actually miss training when I can’t make it. I’ve never mastered nor really loved weights, but being in the Victory Lap environment has helped and encouraged me to just go for it, push myself and most importantly enjoy it while I’m doing it, and after almost a year I feel healthier and fitter than I have in a long time.I’m still very much on my journey but being able to approach it with the level of care, attention and support that Beth and Stu and to be honest everyone who we’ve met in and out of the sessions that is part of the VL family, I know I’m going to get there, build the habits and continue to enjoy the process.Thank you team, you’re a bunch of legends.

Absolutely one of the best gyms I've ever come across. It's definitely the best in the waterside. Beth and Stu are so lovely, always taking every situation into account with coaching. They're 'real' coaches, they understand things happen in life that means you're off plan sometimes and they make the guilt non existence. Consistency is key and they are so supportive in that, and every other way! Good knowledge of nutrition and various exercises to suit varying degrees of abilities and achieve ability (home workouts, with/without equipment/open gym sessions, etc). Friendly, approachable and not the sort of coach to shout at you if you're doing something wrong!Definitely recommend!

2025-03-12T01:11:46.015Z

Highly recommend Victory Lap Fitness! The small group pt classes are amazing and provide exercises for all levels. Stu and Beth are extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and beyond supportive. Their demonstrations on how to do each exercise and use of equipment are very clear with great attention to detail.I struggled after having 2 babies to find the motivation to get back in the gym and I'm so happy I took that first step back with Victory Lap Fitness! The classes are fun and challenging (in the best way!) everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. I can feel my confidence, strength, and motivation coming back. It's been incredible striving and accomplishing not only personal goals, but together as a community. Best gym ever!

It has been a great 6 weeks in which I feel that I have learnt the skills to be able to use weights in a way in which I was scared of before and know my limitations. From the start of signing up with stu and Beth they both put me at ease and regularly checked in with how I was going. The sessions are great as you get to meet new people and don’t feel out of your comfort zone as we are all doing it together but week on week I not only see my own progress but the progress of others and it’s great motivation to continue to improve. Stu is a great coach in that he doesn’t push you, is realistic on what you can achieve but will guide you when he thinks you have a few more reps in you and you need the motivation to push through. So glad I signed up to you guys and looking forward to continuing my journey with victory lap fitness :)

2025-02-12T17:19:36.617Z

I have been working with Stu for the past 6 weeks as I wanted to improve my overall health. With a large weight loss in this time span due to change of diet and the exercise routines which are tailored to each persons ability, I am now feeling far better and actually look forward to going to the gym, something I never thought I would say!The hardest part for me was making the first appointment. Its all been good since and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

2025-01-07T17:56:01.099Z

Absolutely amazing! I've been training with Stu for a few years now and he has been encouraging and gave me the much needed kick start into getting fit.Last year I also started my nutritional journey with Beth - absolutely life changing especially paired with Stu's workouts. She goes out of her way to understand your concerns and needs. I have never been fitter or more confident!If you're thinking about going, don't hesitate!

2025-01-06T17:13:43.145Z

Love love love Victory Lap! Such a friendly and encouraging atmosphere in a fabulous (and very clean!) venue. Highly recommend to anyone whether starting out on their fitness journey or those who are more experienced. Either way you will get fantastic work outs, great camaraderie and the support to help you reach your goals!

2024-09-14T18:21:15.000Z

An absolutely amazing group session where you feel welcome, included, pushed and motivated. Such a friendly atmosphere and extremely clean. Great coaching by stu and great for beginners, intermediates and advanced. He can tailor it just to you. Cannot recommend enough.
