A lovely family owned gym with supportive and helpful trainers. If you're turned away from gyms because you feel out of place or they feel a bit too macho then this place would probably be up your alley. For those familiar, their boot camps are high intensity interval training, similar to F45, offered before and after work. M

You wont go wrong with this gym. If you are looking for an accessible, fun and welcoming gym to train; then this gym is for you! Full Review:
Ive been a member of NFA for around 4 months now and I have to say that its been one of the best decisions that I have ever made!
James and Kat are passionate about your health and when you need any help with your techniques, or any questions related to fitness, they will gladly help you as they did with me. I was completely clueless before my induction with James, but he gave me the confidence I needed to push past my initial difficulties

Ive been a member at the NFA for 2 years and love it. The fitness training is always a different routine so you never get bored. If the exercises seem easy you just add extra weights. Kettlebells, weights, Burpees lunges, running, indoors and outdoors NFA has the lot.
Kat & James are watching everyone to check they have the right movement and form so you dont get injured. Ive lost weight and toned up and feel so much more confident in myself. We feel like we have community of friends not just a gym with machines and corporate brand. Plus they have a very cute dog
