Well, what can I say about South Coast Fitness, quite a lot actually. I have been coming here since October 2023, before then I belonged to a well-known gym for about 2years, going about 3 times a week. At the start I really enjoyed it, but in May 2023 I started to get a bit disheartened as I was putting the effort in, but not seeing much of a result. Scrolling through Facebook I kept seeing adds for South Coast Fitness, so I took the plunge and contacted Lee and arranged for a consultation. Lee was like a breath of fresh air, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Health, fitness and Nutrition, something that I have not experienced before in my previous gym. So, I signed up and 4 months later, I am feeling much stronger and fitter. I look forward to each session knowing that I will be challenged and encourage to push myself, not only by Lee and Dean, but by everyone else that attends these sessions, we are like one big happy gym family, helping and encouraging each other.

So if you are looking for a new challenge or are fed up with not getting the results that you want / need then come and join us, you will not be disappointed.

A PT session but better, small
group training brings a great atmosphere.
I leave every session knowing I’ve challenged and pushed myself.
It’s amazing having expertise and passion on hand and even now after 5 years I learn new things.
Each session is varied and I love that you get a full body workout.
SCF is just part of my life for not only my body but also my mind.
100% without a doubt feel better after every session 🙌🏼

I could not rate South coast fitness highly enough. I Have been a member since September and every session has been amazing and includes new exercises and ideas every week. The guys are amazing at what they do and always give the best support. I felt like a member of the South coast family the first moment I stepped through the doors

Fear will always hold you back and if you’re holding yourself back, how will you ever move forward?
This was my main issue. This changed the moment I met Lee. His welcoming smile and kind mannerisms is just the cover of who he actually is. The knowledge , understanding, and enthusiasm he has for his business and his clients is one to be praised.
I have struggled with a few mobility issues for more than twenty years. My hips were in constant pain and woke me up multiple times a night. I’ve had every test, scan, and therapy option there is to relieve this and with no luck. I expressed to Lee my hip issues along with my ongoing paralyzing sciatic nerve issues due to an injury.
Lee took this all on board and within 8 weeks I was sleeping, walking, and strength training with ZERO PAIN!
I can even sit cross legged and I have NEVER been able too!
I cannot express enough how my life has changed for just those two injuries that have now left me. I say HAD because it’s been months now and I have put it out of my continuous thoughts.
My journey of weight loss and self love has changed. It’s still a work in progress but I’m getting there at a healthy pace with the support physically and mentally. Going to the “gym” excites me and I’m always looking forward to my next session. It doesn’t feel like hard work even though it’s physically challenging in a positive environment.
If you are looking for a gym that feels like home, where you’re comfortable, respected, and loved. This is your place. Come join our beautiful family.

South Coast Fitness is a fantastic place to meet likeminded people and to get fitter and healthier. The place is very welcome for all and training is adjusted based on each person’s level of ability which is great. Since attending for the last few months i feel so much stronger. Coaches Lee and Dean are extremely knowledgeable and they keep and eye on your technique and how you move with each exercise and encourage you to keep challenging yourself, or offer alternatives if needed. Exercises are varied regularly and are functional and i feel like i am using my body in a way that i have not used in a while. Its fascinating how creative they are with their exercise selection.
Its one of the best places i have ever been to and planning on coming back as i think i am slightly addicted to it now😁 thanks guys what a great job you are doing!

The idea of getting a PT in a mainstream gym scared me senseless due to insecurities and feeling a bit intimidated at barely being able to lift the weight of a teaspoon! Instead opted to try a small PT group at South Coast Fitness and I can hand on heart say Lee and everyone in the groups are so positive & supportive and the set up is great! I’ve loved the discipline that small group training has brought into my week and bettered my mentality to want to get off my a** and get active. Everyone is so lovely and dare I say it- for the first time in years I really look forward to exercising! And even wanting to do more! It’s worked wonders for my mental health and confidence as well as already reducing RSI related shoulder pain in a very short space of time. I’m hooked! Anyone umming and arring about the idea of starting should just bite the bullet and do it! Come join in the fun!

Terry Pike - August 2021

Lee is very professional and I personally have found his passion for anything gym related very refreshing. His passion spurs you on. Super friendly but happy to push you where needed to get the results, be it form or that little extra motivation when needed. Very highly recommended.

Laura Crago - August 2021

Can’t thank Lee at Southcoast fitness enough for helping me to enjoy exercise. I love the female group PT sessions that I attend, and highly recommend them if your looking to get fit and be part of a team. Can’t wait to progress and get stronger!

Alex Finlay - October 2020

Professional, thorough, worth every penny.
Had two sports massages so far with Lee and I would highly recommend.
Tailors his session based on what you need doing and in some respects your pain threshold as well.
After 2 I already feel a lot better but need more work doing so will be booking PT sessions with Lee as well. Very reasonably priced for the great service you receive.

Sarah Blewden - June 2021

Absolute expert, a fountain of knowledge, a personal training plan where your educated to a deeper understand of your body and your muscles at the same time as training, Learning so much, quality sessions.

Lisa Plummer - September 2020

Lee is awesome and as much as we all hate him whilst we are being pushed to be the best versions of ourselves every person that leaves after a session comes away feeling amazing and wanting more.
Lee has done so much for me in the last 7 months, I was not only underweight but lacking in confidence too.... I now feel happier, healthier and stronger. I highly recommend Lee, he is always smiling and full of energy..... Even if we're not!

Kerry Penney - September 2020

I signed up for the 7 day free trial with South Coast Fitness just before Christmas, I can honestly say it's been the best decision.
I was incredibly nervous but Lee and the rest of the girls made me feel so welcome.
I now do the small group sessions twice a week and genuinely look forward to going. Everyone is very friendly (we laugh a lot) and there is no judgement (which was a huge thing for me). I've got a long way to go but finally feel like I am on the right track.
Give it a go people you won't regret it!!

Suzanne Charles - August 2021

I've been training with Lee for well over 4 years now, following a recommendation from a friend. I spend most of my time weight training and have PT in order to develop technique and strength. I also attend Bootcamps and classes whenever I can which are a lot of fun and a great way to push myself even harder.
More recently I've been to Lee for sports massages which help ease out any stiffness and soreness, and helps protect me from injury.
Lee is easy to get along with, extremely knowledgeable and motivates me to keep pushing to meet my goals and to continue making new ones. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Alison Barley - July 2020

Booking my sessions keeps me motivated! It’s now just part of my week and life!
Going from private PT with Lee for over 2 years to small Group sessions has been a great change, it’s always fun with a lovely positive atmosphere. I come away feeling like I’ve challenged myself, I always need a little push when exercising!

Chris Home - June 2020

I came to Lee following rota cuff surgery, with the following prime objectives.
- Increase the mobility and strength of my shoulder.
- Increase my overall strength/fitness.
While I’m a project it it’s early days and still in progress, I have made significant gains in a limited period of time which I was not expecting. Lee is a great motivator, and has encourage me to make changes in life which will only help deliver the success of my personal goals set.

Shane Traynor - June 2020

I’ve known Lee for many years and he has always been very professional and approachable when I have been in 1-2-1 training and also when training in smaller groups. He has a large wealth of knowledge about all elements of body building and fitness and feel that I learn something new every time I see him. My personal progression over the last few months it’s now clear to see in the change of my shape and also diet and my general well being. He always makes you feel at ease when he is coaching you and is able to adapt when training others including wife and daughter.

Oli Clayton - May 2020

Been going to south coast fitness now for some time and lee has helped me massively with my training and diet plan. Really down to earth guy and he always wants you to achieve your personal goals. Lee is always there to give me the right information when I needed it. He also helped me out when I had a bad back by releasing the tension and stress in area that was hurting. I would definitely recommend south coast fitness. Thanks to Lee I have gained a lot of Knowledge and training Techniques when training alone. He has definitely boost my confidence in the gym and on a personal note.

Matthew Howard - September 2020

I’ve seen loads of different people for a shoulder Injury sustained from training at my gym... it went on for nearly a year with no improvement. Lee was recommended to me and even after the first session I could feel the difference... making a full recovery after 3 sessions... SCF doesn’t just look at the problem head on, he uses his own extensive gym experience and takes different approaches to fixing it..I now see Lee on a weekly basis..keeps me in the gym! Highly recommend.. look no further !

Tina McGowan - September 2020

I’ve been given great confidence that I’m in safe hands as I embark on my journey to a better lifestyle. Lee is professional, courteous & makes the taylor made sessions fun.

Gerard Benfield - August 2020

It’s been brilliant working with Lee, his Motivational skills and knowledge are 2nd to none, really gives you confidence knowing you’re getting the right technique and loads of new workouts you can take into your own sessions, really enjoying it at SCF!

Emma Sullivan - September 2020

I've done both PT and small group sessions at SCF and loved it! Lee is really professional and knowledgeable and knows how to get results. I felt really comfortable and learnt lots. Would highly reccomend.

Ursula Velazquez Otero - August 2020

Lee is a fantastic trainer, always focus on your body positioning to ensure the correct muscles are being worked. The best way to get fit avoiding injuries!
