I started the Girls Allowed Gym back in May 2021 and honestly its been the best thing for me mentally during lockdown and COVID overall, I have become more stronger with a gradual steady weight loss and more confident within myself as the 6 week PT challenge sessions are hardworking, fun and a great way to push yourself each time . It's a great local business with such lovely friendly instructors and a good value for money for how much you can do!. Even a good chance to meet fellow members who are all in the same boat as you, so you never feel your doing it alone. :)
I highly recommend this place

Really great place. Ive been training for years but after having my son I wasnt confident enough to go back to a mixed well known gym. Girls allowed is perfect as all the women that come there are in a similar position. The group Pt sessions are fantastic and so are the Trainers! Every session is different and I actually enjoy them and you can feel the burn! Highly recommend this place!

Exactly what I was looking for! As a hijabi it's really difficult to find a gym in the area that would cater to my needs. The instructors and people are super friendly and welcoming. I love the fact they provide a mixture of different exercise classes along with the gym. Being a complete novice, the classes really help with keeping me motivated and pushing myself.
