    I love this gym, big enough to have a nice group when we can but small enough to know that you are being watched and cared for. Lots of different classes and very helpful and friendly trainers. Even the dragon lady herself is not as scary … More as she could be. Very supportive and helped my partner and me through lockdown.

    I love the classes down at dragons. The trainers are very professional and friendly. They will change exercises that you can’t do and give alternatives. All members are super friendly and very welcoming

    The best gym I've ever been to without a doubt! I have been a member of Dragon Fitness for 8 months now. I've never felt as fit and strong ever! The classes are great. There are different ones depending on your fitness goals which … More are varied and challenging, you get out what you put in. Jacqui and the other trainers make this possible and have really got the best out of me because they are fun, they motivate you to push yourself further and are very encouraging. They keep the workouts different so they don't get boring by introducing a new exercise or a new piece of equipment. I've achieved what I wouldn't dreamt possible. I'm a working parent so I've not got a lot of time so being able to do a class that gets actual results in 45 mins is absolutely awesome!
    I've learnt about good nutrition too and what I should be eating.
    I also love the atmosphere and the new friends I've met at dragon fitness, what an amazing group of people. Everyone is so friendly.
    I would highly recommend coming for a taster session. You will definitely not regret it.

    I have been with Dragon Fitness since it first opened. A journey that has seen me not only lose 5 stone but has improved my fitness level that I thought I would never achieve in a life time. From not being able to walk more than 15 minutes … More at a time to now running and jumping up on boxes!! The atmosphere in the classes is fun and the members are so friendly it soon feels like a community. Help is always at hand with your nutrition and nothing is too much trouble. What ever your age or level of fitness you don't need to feel nervous about joining here as you will soon become part of the family.

    Amazing, friendly and welcoming gym! Great variety of classes that suit all levels of ability, the trainers really know their stuff and get the best out of everyone. Everyone is really friendly and members don't hesitate to speak to … More newcomers and make them feel part of the family. Each class is different from the next which means you never get bored. The team of trainers are always on hand to offer advice on fitness and nutrition or just general motivation. I would highly recommend giving Dragon Fitness a try!

    Dragons is a great little gym. I joined not long after having my second baby and Jacqui and the team helped me not only get in my pre baby clothes but also find a bit of me again. The whole team are welcoming and friendly and so are the … More members. I can honestly say I have never been to two classes that are the same and that just shows the time and effort that is put in by the team.

  • Avatar Lindsay Ferguson ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    Great mix of class options and every class is adaptable to your own abilities but you still feel part of the group. I’ve done both the introduction 6 week course and a further one this summer to get me back on track with food which are … More great to support the classes.
  • Avatar Rebecca Damms ★★★★★ 4 months ago
    I joined Dragon Fitness in April this year as part of the 6 week challenge and I’ve never looked back. The 6 week challenge was a great starting point for me especially in terms of my mental health. Jackie keeps you on track whilst teaching … More you how to eat properly and educating you about things that I have always beat myself up about. I lost a significant about of weight over the 6 weeks which put me in a great place physically and mentally. I continued with the classes as they are addict and my fitness level seemed to improve massively.
    Jackie and her team are great and make the sessions that good I don’t want them to end. During the sessions I have a continuous smile on my face whilst I am training that I had lost before I started at DF. It’s been a pleasure to have joined as it’s took me back to a place I needed to be. I would highly recommend anyone to join this group as I feel you would benefit greatly. Keep up the good work Jackie and the team. You’re doing an amazing job!
  • Avatar Vanessa Stickland ★★★★★ 4 years ago

positive review  As someone who has quite alot of weight to lose, going to a gym can be quite a daunting thing, however, i don't think i have ever felt as comfortable as i do here. The atmosphere during the classes is amazing and you really do feel part of a team! Everyone motivates you so much that you can't fail to do your best! Jacqui pushes you at just the right level, not too forcefull that you feel a failure but just enough to keep you going to your best ability! I really cannot recommend Dragon Fitness enough, if you want to lose weight and get your fitness level up then this is the place to go, no matter how far away you think your target is, it's acheveable with the right people around you.......i'm even beginning to enjoy it 🤫! Thanks Jacqui and the rest of the unofficial Dragon team.....aka the other members! 🧡💪

Being part of the Dragon Fitness family has really helped me to regain my confidence following an injury. The atmosphere is both fun and motivating using a variety of exercises and equipment to keep every session fresh and exciting. The trainers are very knowledgeable and inspiring and are always willing to answers any questions about training and nutrition. Since joining just over a year ago, I am fitter, healthier and injury free!Thank you Dragon Fitness!L

I joined Dragon Fitness in January 2019 with two other friends. I hated my weight after having 3 children and I just couldn’t shift it.
Everyone has always been very supportive, encouraging and motivating; the trainers push you to get more out of every single class.
After hard work, dedication and the support from everyone at Dragon Fitness (including all the other members), I am now finally back down to my goal weight and couldn’t be happier!
I would highly recommend Dragon Fitness!.

I have been a member of dragon fitness for nearly a year now and it’s honestly changed my life for the better. I’ve always exercised and never got the result I wanted them I learnt here that nutrition is key to achieving this. Not only are the classes amazing and fun but I’ve learnt so much about how to fuel my body with the right things and my results are what I’ve always wanted. This place is like my second home and I’ve made so many new friends along the way.

I joined Dragon Fitness in August 2019, after being a member of various gyms over the years and goodness knows how much money spent on every diet going. I have never really enjoyed any form of exercise, it has always been a necessary chore for me. I dreaded each class/session and couldn’t wait for them to finish. As soon as I stepped through the door at DF, I felt welcomed by the team and all the other members. The classes are all varied and at times to suit most people’s schedules and I was very soon hooked. All the trainers are great and very supportive giving great encouragement. The online booking system works perfectly too. I have combined the classes with a healthy eating plan, using MyFitnessPal to log food and have tried many of the recipes available to DF members. I have lost just over a stone in weight and am now lighter and fitter than I’ve ever been in over 30 years (my husband tells me in many occasion that it’s the best I’ve ever looked!) I can’t thank DF enough and would recommend everyone to give them a try, you won’t regret it. It certainly was the best decision I have ever made regarding my wellbeing.
