Shapeshifters

Fantastic experience: I've just completed an 8 week program at Shapeshifters and I cannot shout loudly enough about the impact it's had on my life. I went there to learn how to work out and got a whole lot more than that. The nutrition and lifestyle advice was easy to understand and follow and within a week I started to have more energy and feel happier. Haider knew exactly how to guide, motivate and push me in the training and Adele was always on hand to advise and guide me with my nutrition. I've been so surprised at the results I've achieved in such a short space of time. Finding Shapeshifters has literally been life-changing! I can't thank the team enough and am recommending to anyone who wants to feel and look better, get fast results and find a manageable healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: These guys were amazing at helping me really reach my goals (posture, getting rid of niggling back pain, weight, forming new habits, the lot) over the last 6 months. Adele and Haider were both v approachable, really know their stuff, and were fun to work with too. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Shapeshifters is great, 100% worth every penny. Haider and Adele are amazing! I joined so that I could get in shape for my wedding, but I also wanted to generally feel healthier. I lost weight and gained muscle really easily over the 3 months, the diet plan is so simple and easy to follow, I never felt hungry or like I was depriving myself. Adele also adapted everything to be vegan for me including suggesting the best supplements to buy. Haider was so kind and motivating during the training sessions, he always pushed me to my limit but never too far, and was accommodating if I wasn't feeling good. The best thing though which I didn't expect, was how much my mental health has improved! My brain fog has gone and I feel like I can actually function properly now. I did all my wedding planning myself and I never would have been able to do it without Adele and Haider's help. Thank you so much guys, you have no idea how much of a difference you've made!

Fantastic experience: I managed to lose 6kg and 9% body fat in 2 and a half month’s in the most healthiest way which I did not think was possible! As an avid cross fitter, suffering with PCOS and south Asian female I was doubting my health choices and unsure how I could not budge the weight. After working with Adele and Junior, they transformed my idea of nutrition and also my form when working out. They have truly changed my life and made me a happier person, I cannot thank them enough for helping me. I will definitely be booking with them again soon for my next future body goal. A lot of people have been complimenting my results and asking where I buy my shakes from! The answer is Shapeshifters and having encouragement with willpower from a super amazing team!

Fantastic experience: I went to this gym today to do a health screening review. My meeting was with Adele, she made things very easy, gave me good advice. Adele has already created for me some plans and i purchased some supplements to go along with this. Everything is 10/10, the diet plans given are easy to maintain. This gym is clean, not many gyms like this one in birmimgham. Would recommend if you are serious to making a change to your life

Fantastic experience: The only regret one can have with Shapeshifters is not starting sooner. It is impossible not to loose weight if you are following their advice. The training is hard, indeed, but Haider has been amazing at pushing me over my limits. Each session has the same intensity, it doesn't matter if I am his first or last client of the day, he is putting the same energy and passion into his work. I could not be more grateful or recommend them more.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training 18 months with Junior and Adele, who have both been brilliant. They’ve adapted routines and helped me back to fitness twice after surgery. Adele’s advice on diet and supplements has been invaluable, transforming my immune system as well as building muscle for the first time in my 50+ years! I truly can’t recommend Shapeshifters highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Google won’t let me post the review in full. The full review will be on their instagram. It is complete honest based on my experience. I have just completed 12 week tans4m program. My journey with shapeshifter started with a consultation with Adele who was very honest & clear that in order to transform I needed to be committed, it wouldn’t be easy but I will meet my goals which were to lose body mass & toning up in preparation of my wedding. I really appreciated this directness. There was no big sell & at no point did I ever feel like I was being mislead or coerced. I was given time to go away & think about it. For me it wasn’t a hard decision I was ready for change. Communication with Adele has always been excellent & her knowledge & experience shines though. She is extremely passionate about what she does & relishes at helping people. She is very fair & supportive. Not to mention always friendly & welcoming. I was sent some questionnaires to complete prior to started with the program & again asked to repeat these at the 1/2way point

Fantastic experience: Shapeshifters is a fantastic place. All the staff are excellent and experts in their own right. I have been with Shapeshifters since Feb 2018 and have received all-rounded support on eating habits, handlings cravings, understanding how my body responds to certain foods, posture and strengthening a weak shoulder. Not to mention the workout sessions themselves, which are fantastic and suitably challenging!! This kind of tailored support you will not get anywhere else. I am particularly grateful to Adele and always wonder how she does it! If you are considering coming here then just go for it! You will not regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend shapeshifters as I have been a client for several years now. Working with Adele at shapeshifters in group training has been an eye-opener. I've always struggled with consistency in my workouts, but Adele’s personalised approach has kept me engaged and motivated. I've seen a steady increase in muscle tone and a decrease in body fat but I've also learned a lot about nutrition and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. I've noticed a significant improvement in my core strength and stability. Her targeted exercises and nutritional advice have been key to my progress.

Fantastic experience: After deciding that I wasn't going to be able to get fit and lose some weight without some help I decided to join Shapeshifters for 8 weeks of 1-2-1 PT sessions. What a great decision! I was really nervous as I was really unfit but Anna was my trainer and she is fantastic - she put me at ease straight away, was motivating, pushed me out of my comfort zone and was an all round lovely person to train with. The sessions are really tough but [mostly] enjoyable and Anna didn't give in to my moaning and groaning when things got harder! I am on a long road and haven't yet reached my goals so have now signed up for the group training sessions to continue my journey. I can highly recommend Shapeshifters - all the staff are fantastic and make you feel very welcome. Thanks Anna, Adele and Tej for all of your help so far, I am excited for the next phase!

Fantastic experience: I joined shapeshifters to give me a sound and secure base and to push myself further than before. I thought I was fairly fit when I joined ( in my mind anyway) but very soon realised I didn’t know what being fit and strong really was. I Soon got my head around that and threw myself in to the program fully. The three weekly sessions were a challenge and I was pushed and tested to my limits, but it was truly worth it. A big thank you to Haider for taking me on a significant journey of fitness discovery. I’ve learnt about form, progression at the right pace, and that all important muscle memory connection. Thanks Haider for pushing me, not listening to my calls to stop, and showing me the route to success. A major part of the change and development process was diet, routine, sleep, and movement. Getting that right is not easy between sessions but thanks to Adele (the fitness guru, and keeps it all moving) I got all the advice and support I needed. My advice would be to follow the program and commit, have some fun and embrace the burn. Shapeshifters is a small private friendly gym with one to one PT sessions to help you reach your goals, and whatever stage you decide to go to you will have learnt loads and had some fun. A great team, very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant team - Adele, Haider and Junior are lovely people and so helpful and welcoming. A great place to kickstart a fitness journey if you're a complete newbie like me. I'd hardly ever been in a gym, didn't pay any attention to my diet...(basically a world-class couch potato) ..and the structure of a realistic diet plan and guided training was exactly what I needed. I would never have imagined I'd have the energy or motivation that I have since starting the programme. Adele was fantastic at explaining the plan for my 8-week programme and keeping it straightforward. The diet plan provided is strict but simple...and a total life changer when it comes to increased energy levels and feeling like you actually want to work out. You need willpower 100% but the team are really encouraging and keep you accountable. I liked that it wasn't faddy or awkward to shop for/cook etc... and you are never hungry. The shakes might not be everyone's cup of tea (cup of shake?), but I found the chocolate flavour really nice and they are so easy to make! Having my measurements tracked through the programme was really motivating and completing the health surveys changed how I think about my overall health and well-being. Haider was my main trainer and was brilliant. He was patient, explained everything in each session and was so good at pushing me to give that extra effort when it felt like I was at my limit. He gave me a plan to carry on with after the programme and was really encouraging every step of the way. The sessions are challenging (I really felt how unfit I was!!), but you'll leave each one feeling good and ready to get stronger. They cover core strength training and weight training so it's varied and you get a good recovery time between sessions. I started the programme hoping to learn how to work out, get healthier and build my confidence about going to a gym as a beginner. Shapeshifters 100% provided all that. I've lost fat (some old fave jeans are back in the game), feel stronger and overall so much healthier, physically and mentally. Would recommend to anyone who's nervous about going to the gym or just not sure where to start with their health and fitness, it's definitely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers, professional, charismatic and supportive. They helped me train in ways I never thought I could!

Fantastic experience: Having reached a place of not knowing how to get out of a complete hump in my physique and fitness, I came across Shapeshifters on Google. It read like my saving chance to pull myself out of this hole. Having signed up to an 8 week programme I've been so delighted with the experience, guidance and results, that I extended my PT sessions a further 6 weeks. The knowledge and personalised plans produced by the team are top class. Adele has been immensely supportive in guidance throughout the plan, always there to offer support and answer questions with in depth knowledge you can trust. With regular check-ins the plan focuses on remaining on point to get results, and is tweaked or adjusted if necessary to get the best possible out. My PT sessions with Gary occur twice a week and are consistently driven to build my physique and beat those fatty deposits! They are challenging but immensely enjoyable as I know they are doing what's intended and getting me the results I'd longed for. Yes this was a programme for a specific time period but the knowledge and healthy eating plan is mine to own now taking this forward. I'm armoured with the best (and most) I've ever eaten with an easy to follow plan, and I now appreciate how my training needs to focus with consistency and time and attention for achieving results. The team have not only equipped me for maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle but also given me back my happiness.....I feel like me again! I'd highly recommend to anyone in need of guidance and support to make healthy and sustainable changes to their diet and fitness. No fads here, just commitment in a tailored and fully supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: THE GOAL: To look the best I could for my sons wedding and shift the fat! THE RESEARCH: To find the best P.T training in Birmingham and check the reviews THE OUTCOME: I chose shapeshifters as it really stood out as an all encompassing regime- something totally different. THE TEAM: Adele was very committed to helping me achieve my goals . She is very personable and really knows her stuff. She was honest , direct and always approachable. Haider aka “Wolf of Wall sit! “ Genuinely lovely person, you can’t pull the wool over his eyes! he doesn’t miss a trick I tried to change the weights a few times. Caught every time!!! Haider made me laugh, cry and swear all in one session! He gave 100% support to my goal. Brilliant P.T THE DIET: I found the diet the easiest part of the programme, I never felt hungry ( actually struggled to eat all the food in the beginning) THE UPS : I enjoyed the monthly reviews to find out my progress and watch the fat disappearing. End of the training session! ( nothing personal Haider ) THE DOWNS: Strawberry shakes not available on occasions! ( didn’t like the chocolate) . I found the training the hardest! However I also found it the most rewarding , only after the 45 mins! THE RESULT: lots of compliments, feel more confident, felt great at my sons wedding. Slimmer neck!! I’ll continue to incorporate the changes to my everyday life. THE CONCLUSION: Don’t just think about joining Shapeshifters- do it! You won’t regret it. Thank you to all the team x

Fantastic experience: In Nov 2022, I made one of the best decisions of my life. Most of my life I’ve been in 'decent' shape & considered "skinny" by friends & family (which I never saw as a compliment because I had always admired strong women, with toned bodies & defined muscles). I've been a regular gym-goer for several years, working out 4-5 times per week, but I wasn't seeing the changes in my physique/strength that I desired (which I now know was due to a lack of structure in my lifestyle). In June 2022, I caught a bad flu, which wiped me out for several weeks. After which, I had little to no energy to workout especially after a long (highly stressful, yet sedentary) day at work. So I'd try to appease my feelings of lethargy, stress & anxiety with junk food, which usually consisted of; a large pizza, chicken wings, crisps & a slice of cheesecake! But within 4 months, I suddenly found myself not fitting into my clothes anymore, feeling more tired than ever and totally out of shape & uncomfortable in my body. It affected my self-esteem, which in turn pushed me to more emotional eating & a lessened desire to workout. In late Oct 2022, I thought enough is enough. I was trapped in a negative cycle & felt helpless in getting myself out of it alone. So, I spent hours on the internet trying to find the best meal plans & workout routines...just to not action any of them! Mainly because they felt too 'generic', but also because I didn't have enough belief in my own self-discipline. I finally realised that I needed to get professional help; not only to help me lose the gained weight & get fit, but also, to help me find a way out of my bad eating habits which were hurting my mood, energy levels & self-esteem (as well as my waistline). I searched for a personal trainer that would also provide nutritional guidance, when I discovered Shapeshifters. I did as much research as I could (mainly by reading all the shapeshifters testimonials) but ended up unsure as to whether they catered for someone like me. So, I decided to take a chance & registered for a consultation with Adele (which turned out to be one of the best decision I’ve ever made). From day one, Adele, gave me the structure that I was looking for. We had an in-depth discussion about my physical state (including eating habits, stress levels, sleep, etc) & what my goals were. Before she devised a lifestyle solution that fit like a glove, I started off with an 8 week programme, training twice per week with Adele, before signing up again for another 8 weeks. I'm really intrigued to see my body's potential, as well as building on my healthier habits. In terms of training, Adele pushed me to my limits, but in a good way! It's such an amazing feeling to realise; that with the right kind of support (from the right people) you can conquer your limiting beliefs & achieve goals that you never believed possible & even when I attend a gruelling training session (after an exhausting day at work) I always leave with a big smile on my face, knowing that I pushed myself harder than before! Once you see the results you get in a very short period of time you just want to continue to improve to see how far you can take it. Even if, like me, you don't manage to stick to your diet 100% of the time (because you have a busy & stressful life or enjoy your snacks too much to give them up entirely) the results are so good that it inspires you to live better. My friends, family & colleagues all knew about my journey with shapeshifters from day one & had differing levels of enthusiasm about the process. But now, even the few who were sceptical (about my new eating habits & tough training sessions) are asking me what I did to get in shape...so they can do it to! And you know what?! It feels really good to be able to promote healthier living to those near & dear to me from a position of authenticity. Thanks, Adele (& the Shapeshifters team), for the great work you do. It is not just my body that you are shifting, but also my mental health, my happiness level & my belief in myself. Eagerly awaiting my next training session!

Fantastic experience: Finished a 16 week programme with Shapeshifters with PTs Junior and Adele and it has been transformative. Adele’s holistic approach to my diet and supplements meant all my IBS symptoms disappeared which has significantly improved my quality of like. Monthly check-ins meant I was able to track and measure my progress. And the training sessions themselves were challenging but fulfilling. I’ve learnt enough to be confident by myself at the gym.

Fantastic experience: I decided to give this programme a go on the basis that I needed to get in shape for a family wedding I was to attend, and it ended up being the best decision I have ever made – this was the big health & fitness re-set I was looking for and absolutely know I will continue many aspects of the regime going forward in my everyday life. For my twice a week personal training sessions I had the super-approachable Haider who was quite brilliant at motivating me to achieve more and more each week, something I really appreciated as my stamina at the start was non-existent; he kept the routine of each session varied & interesting and spent time explaining the sets and discussing what each one was meant to achieve – I would never have made such progress if I had attended a gym independently. Through Haider I felt like I was able to walk away from every session feeling like I had given it my best and wanting to achieve even more the next time. For me the most stand out point was the realisation that not once in the full 20 weeks of the programme did I ever feel hungry or crave anything, I absolutely loved the meal plan and found it really easy to grasp and to stick to. Adele offered endless advice & tips on how to make the most of food options and I was glad of the guidance as I am not a very accomplished cook, but I was thrilled to realise that I made some of my tastiest dinners as a result of the meal plan and it widened the range of food that I eat in a week. This programme actually helped me through an extraordinarily stressful period of time (a disastrous house move), and I ended up feeling very grateful for the routine: the daily exercise, the training sessions, the meal plans – it all gave me something to focus on when everything else was going to pot. I would do this whole programme again in a heartbeat and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is struggling to get their health & fitness on track once and for all.

Fantastic experience: To the Shapeshifters Team, They are an absolutely incredible team and I can’t thank them enough for all of the knowledge and information they have passed on to me. Thank you for getting back into shape and getting me the body I remember.

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to the Shapeshifters team, especially Adele and Haider. Although I tried my best to remain active during lockdown, putting on more fat than I wanted was inevitable. I’m not one for these fad diets going around and told myself that if I was going to do this, then I was going to seek professional help. From day one the team were nothing short of amazing, everything from my diet to my exercise routines were tailored to my needs and goals and adjustments were made along the way with my progress when needed. Haider always helped me push through those last few reps when I thought I didn’t have it in me and Adele was always at the ready to answer any questions I had. This whole experience made me understand how important it is to have professionals who are willing to work with me rather than making me work for them. Not only did I meet my goals thanks to the team but even managed to go beyond them. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to make changes to their life.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Shapeshifters studio. I just finished my 8 weeks programme, and I wish I could have more weeks. It was both challenging and rewarding at the same level. Definitely, although exhausted I always left the studio feeling way better than when I arrived. Since my first contact with Adele I received plenty of information and attention. My Personal Training sessions and nutrition plan were really good and planned to help me to lose weigh and gain lean mass. I'm happy with my results (all my measures improved in 8 weeks time) and all support that I had during my time there. Many thanks Shapeshifters!

Fantastic experience: I feel good!!! What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Just completed 12 weeks of the best diet, training and mentally in a better place. My initial assessment with Adele really gave me the assurance I needed and she answered all my questions. The nutritional plan was easy to follow. (YOU have to stick to it, if you want results) Any additional support I needed Adele was there. My PT Haider was so focused on what areas needed to be trained. What a fabulous guy he is. He really put me through my paces and I'm not disappointed with the results. He really does know how to get the best out of you. Whilst remaining professional at all times, Haider is a good listener too. We all may experience off days but with his support and guidance I was back on track. My relationship with food is much better, I'm sleeping better and most of all I feel like I've got a spring in my step. Highly recommend Shapeshifters. I can't wait to continue my journey forward. Lots of gratitude to Shapeshifters.

Fantastic experience: My mojo had deserted me but 8wks in & I'm firing on all cylinders! Adele & the team are great fun, work you hard & professional to the core. Their approach covers not just the training but diet & supplements too. Not for the faint hearted but if you're looking for results, great training & a professional set up then look no further.

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently finished an 8 week program with Shapeshifters and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I’ve lost 8kg (over a stone) and dropped over 10% body fat, which I simply didn’t think would be possible in such a short time. Their approach incorporates a diet and exercise plan. I was sceptical that I would be able to stick to the diet, as I have never managed to in the past. But with clear guidance and support from Adele, I have this time. And importantly, it has given me (and my husband, who does a lot of the cooking) some clear guidelines to stick with long term. On the training side, I did two 45 minutes sessions a week, which doesn’t sound much but I was glad they weren’t longer! I found training tough, having barely set foot in a gym for 20 years. But Haider was an excellent PT and all-round lovely guy. He pushed me harder than I could possibly do myself, but was also able to adapt his approach depending on what worked for me (which is one instruction at a time!). Before I started with Shapeshifters my weight had been steadily creeping up and I was feeling miserable about the way I looked and felt. I knew I needed to do something, but didn’t really know where to start and didn’t think I could do it on my own. I’m so glad that late one evening I decided to take the plunge and send that email….

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! Like most people I struggled with fad diets and had little motivation. Since joining shapeshifters I’ve lost 3 stone so far. If you are ready to change and prepared to put in the work this is the place for you. Shapeshifters is a relaxed and none judgemental gym with all trainers going above and beyond to help you reach your goals. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Just finished two years at Shapeshifters. I trained under Adele and what sets her aside from the rest is the level of communication and dedication she offers her clients. From the very first day her knowledge shone through. She changes your way of thinking about food and exercise which stays with you even after you're not being watched over. Her no-nonsense, holistic/scientific, and knowledgeable approach really makes you understand what you're doing and why, which helps you to stay on track. The training and nutrition plans offered are tailored to your requirements and goals. Adele is always on hand to answer questions and gives plenty encouragement along the way. Her detailed approach to fitness plans exceeded my expectations. She is that trainer that will go the extra mile for her clients provided they show equal dedication. I can't say it doesn't take some dedication so don't assume paying for a PT instantly entitles you to improvement. I think anyone who is serious about transforming their body should sign up with Shapeshifters, you won’t regret it. Thank you Shapeshifters, especially Adele!

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this place if you are struggling to achieve your fitness/wellness goals. I was dieting on and off for 10 years and hit a wall where I really struggled to shift it last year and with the wedding day looming 4 months away and my dress not fitting me due to putting on weight during the pandemic, I did the Trans4m program and did 16 weeks. I am so grateful to Adele, Haider and the rest of the team for their help and encouragement throughout the process and helping me to reach my goal of getting back into my wedding dress (it had to be altered as it was too big!). I am looking forwards to continuing my journey at the classes to try and reduce my fat further. It has definitely helped me in feeling better in myself and also healthier with more energy.

Fantastic experience: I would heartily recommend Adele, Matt and Haider and the Shapeshifters team to transform your body and achieve your goals. The team are all super friendly, supportive, professional and have extensive knowledge of the body and what it needs to see progress. Couldn't be happier!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to train and achieve any fitness goal you might have been struggling with for years! The team is what makes this place so unique - committed, knowledgeable and professional trainers who will bring out the best in you (both physically and mentally). I cannot thank Adele (senior PT) enough for going above and beyond in helping me achieve my goals - always easily accessible, motivational and gets results!

Fantastic experience: I have joined Shapeshifters two years ago and since then I don’t look back. The professionalism of the personal trainers is outstanding. I have done group training and 1-2-1 training, and I love both options. Coming here make me feel happy, energetic, I turned my fat deposits into the muscles. Gary is excellent trainer. He would correct every little detail while you are working out and that brings you closer to the success. I have discovered why my back is constantly hurts and how to avoid it. I have learned so much about my abilities, strength, my body. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It will change your life.

Fantastic experience: So like many being bored during lockdown caused me to pile on the pounds and I was worried about my general health, so I made 2 decisions, first was to get healthy again and the second was to choose a gym that was going to help me achieve my results. Shapeshifers are based in Birmingham and I live in Coventry, but I was working in London so I had to make on most occasions a 2 hour commute from London Euston to Selly Oak. My advice is if you are committed to your goals then Adele, Gary, Matt and the team will help you achieve your results. I'm 47 and arguably I'm healthier and fitter than when I was in my 20's.. So if you're thinking about joining then go for it, and in 3 months time you can have your friends and family praising how good you look.

Fantastic experience: Quality instructor's Great results Made to feel welcome

Fantastic experience: Amazing place lovley poeple If you want to get into shape this is the place for you

Fantastic experience: Great, Highly recommend esp if you don't get along with going to a normal gym.

Fantastic experience: I tore my right calf muscle during a match before xmas. Georgina saw me the next day and got straight on with diagnosing my injury and beginning treatment. She was just brilliant - her clear instructions along with excellent support was invaluable and got me back on my leg as quickly and safely as possible. By March I was back to short runs whilst continuing to build strength. I put this down to Georgina - Couldn't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Really great place to train, the Staff are so friendly and really know there stuff. Adele ,Georgina, Tej,Haider, Matt I’ve been training with them for 5 months, the sessions are hard and they will push you and boy do you know it by the end, but it’s very very effective and enjoyable, the nutritional guru Tej, has given me loads of great eating advice and the plan he has put together for me has worked wonders on me dropping my body fat percentage from 30% 14.3% only another 4.3% to go, as well as dropping 14Kg in weight. Yes I have made some sacrifices but this Is my choice as I didn’t want to be fat and 50 Thanks guys it’s working better than I could ever have imagined. I’m so much more confident in the way I look and feel amazing

Fantastic experience: I have recently started with shapeshifters, and from the get go the whole team have been exceedingly friendly and helpful. I initially saw Georgina, she provided my 'caliper' testing and sports therapy treatment. She has been professional and welcoming throughout the whole process, explaining each step as we go along. I have more sessions booked in to see her and look forward to them very much!

Fantastic experience: Having been training at Shapeshifters for a few months after a lifetime of working in an office I have problems with flexibility. Georgina recongnised that I had tight hip flexors and glutes which needed to be worked on to increase my flexibility. I have seen results after 3 sessions. She has also provided me with some strecthing exercises to help in preventing the problem returning. This is helping me greatly not just in my training, but also better mobility in everyday life.

Fantastic experience: After suffering a shoulder injury which never got better Georgina has exceeded my expectations by assessing the root cause. I had a pain in my shoulder which was very intermittent. Recently it was getting worse. The treatment I received has improved and cured the pain. Along with excersises to do at home, I am so happy I can continue my daily life without having to worry about it recurring thanks so much Georgina for your amazing service.

Fantastic experience: After suffering with hip and hamstring problems for years, most likely exacerbated by sitting down at my job all the time, seeing Georgina for assessment and treatment really made me realise how bad they were. After a thorough assessment and tailored treatment, my problems are a thing of the past. Now i can train intelligently armed with the aftercare and support offered from Georgina and the team at Shapeshifters Sports Therapy Clinic. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: I have been a PT at Shapeshifters for over 6months, and have previously preached to my clients about the importance of foam rolling and stretching; however have always been neglectful myself. Since starting and seeing Georgina for treatments I have had less injuries and been able to perform better during my own training sessions and when playing football. As a recreational footballer, tight hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings are always on my radar. Of course, this was picked out during a biomechanical assessment and swiftly followed by several treatments and advice. I am now able to keep these at bay a lot easier than previously. I now have regular treatments, foam roll before each training session and haven’t looked back! I would highly recommend Georgina’s services!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training for some time now and have always had a slight issue with the symmetry between the left and right side of my back. Georgina was able to instantly identify the problem with her initial assessment, and was able to effectively treat the area; leaving me with simple and easy to use exercises and stretches in order to restore the strength and balance into my back.

Fantastic experience: I have many long standing injuries which have never really been fixed, even after seeing many different professionals over the years. But after a thorough assessment of working closely with Georgina, I have seen fantastic improvements. I was given a homework programme to follow which to also found very educational – I am now able to perform exercises with confidence which I had previously given up on! Georgina also treats my son of 13 years of age. He is very active with his sports so if regularly picking up little niggles. However, Georgina has put together thorough tapered rehabilitation programmes to return him to full physical fitness and I want him to stay that way!

Fantastic experience: Georgina carried out a thorough initial assessment and identified the root cause of my pain in my lower back and right shoulder and provided a clear plan for treatment. I noticed immediate results after the first treatment. I was also provided with stretch's and exercises to help prevent re-occurrence Very knowledgeable kind and caring practitioner. Highly satisfied with the service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I've also loved exercising and lifting weights but over the years had ran into a few issues with my elbow and stiffness in my hips. Not to worry as Georgina had this covered. Her knowledge is incredible and was immediately able to relieve my pain after a few sessions and offer some advice on how to keep the pain away. She won't just mask the pain she gets to the root of the problem. A must for anyone who has any injuries or muscular pain!

Fantastic experience: Best place to train.. They will sort you right out!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Shapeshifters for about 4 months now. I can tell you that I have had a brilliant experience. I have lost almost 15% of my body fat and dropped about 2 stone in that time. The staff have all been amazing, friendly, kind, encouraging, supportive and flexible (around my family needs). Quite frankly, I don't feel I have even had to make that much effort. The nutrition plan is essentially good, normal food. No fads. Just more of it than I ever ate before! Plus a shake for breakfast. My aim was to get fit enough to join a competitive swimming club. Something I have wanted to do for a very long time. Well, now I have and I can keep up with the European champions - just about! I couldn't recommend this place more highly. True, it isn't cheap but for all the gym memberships and classes I have paid for over the years that haven't really made a difference, this has been money very well spent. After all, you can't really put a price tag on your health. Don't listen to Melissa! Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: A great gym to get in shape and be encouraged to get fit.

Fantastic experience: Really amazing staff and really good programmes. They also have a very good peea protein meal replacement blend which I still currently use. One of the best places to get the body you want.

Fantastic experience: They know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! All the staff are so friendly and professional. I just wish I started coming here sooner!

Fantastic experience: I am really glad that i decided to join shapeshifters, they are both excellent and experienced people that will aid you to achieve you goals, also shout-out to my trainer "matt" for pushing me to my limits and helping me improve my physique.

Positive experience: Fantastic place to train , excellent personal trainer “Anna , Matt “ , just remember to keep your mouth shut when you do your review as when express yourself and say in honesty how you feel , some people get “ offended “ and you might end up losing your place . Enough said .

Fantastic experience: I decided to join Shapeshifters after years of going through the motions in the gym, and seeing very little results. My diet had no structure, I'd put it minimal effort, and as a result I was seeing little to no progress. The team at Shapeshifters totally transformed the way I approached training and nutrition. Under the guidance of Junior, I began to genuinely look forward to the gym (although I can't say I enjoyed everything he put me through whilst I was there!) and as I started to notice results, that enjoyment just grew and grew. Shapeshifters isn't a place for people who just want top turn up and expect results, you really have to put the work in, but I can honestly say it's worth every ounce of effort and they will work with you to achieve your goals, no matter what they are.

Fantastic experience: Great group training facility!

Fantastic experience: I've just finished training, for now, with Matt and the squad at Shapeshifters and it's been transformative. I signed up for 8 weeks, then topped up at the end with a few more sessions. I've not lost as much weight as I thought I would but that's actually a good thing. It's not been a diet, a quick fat loss programme, but a life change. I know more about my body now, I eat properly and at the right times. I know about supplements and what's right for me. This isn't an off-the-shelf thing, the programme is tailored specifically to YOU. I've lost inches around my body and fat has dripped off but I've put on muscle in places that had no muscle before. I was a walking potato on toothpicks, now I'm a decent portion of curly fries. I will become a sweet potato. My journey with Shapeshifters isn't over yet. I have technique to improve, more weight to take on the hip press and I want to sort my shoulders out. I return for classes after a brief trip abroad. I'm a never been fit, almost 40 something. This place can make the positive change you're looking for.

Fantastic experience: I started Shapeshifters having not exercised properly for about 4 years. After completing 8 weeks a personal training and eating regime I can I honestly say it's the best thing I have ever done! In 8 weeks I have lost body fat and inches all over. My PT Matt is amazing, encouraging me and teaching me how to train effectively but most of all made it fun. I can't thank the team enough.

Fantastic experience: I achieved my goals with Shapeshifters, they were friendly and welcoming and helped me gain confidence in a gym environment. I would recommend taking on the diet plan too it boosted my energy and reduced my hunger cravings. A great experience with the team which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Fantastic experience: Can’t give enough praise to the whole team at Shapeshifters for the work they have done for me. I came in with very specific goals and they have produced a very detailed plan throughout my 12 weeks to get me there. The training has been excellent. Whichever trainer you have they will push you to your limits and teach you the correct way to do each exercise to maximise performance. The diet plan is  tailored to your goals, and have a huge thought process behind each meal. It’s a great, friendly environment to train in and everyone is there to support you in achieving your goals, the rest is down to you! Whatever your goals are, after the programme you will leave fitter and healthier. But most importantly you will be more knowledgeable about training and nutrition so you can continue the healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Hi, Just wanted to share this as showing my appreciation for the support that's come from all you guys (especially Adele and Junior), in my recent 6 month quest for a new fitter self. Despite being older than most if not all the people I met there the training and diet motivated me to achieve some great results that I am really happy with! Having now decided to "fly solo" for a bit, I am sure I will be back for a second helping soon! Whatsmore, I even got to enjoy the sessions!

Fantastic experience: Excellent services usually comes with a price

Fantastic experience: Great gym, excellent staff. Will always push you to be the best version of yourself and achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to the team at Shapeshifters, especially Matt and Adele for their support over the last few months! Matt (PT) has been superb throughout the time keeping me motivated and focusing me to achieve the goals I set out. It has been a great programme over the 12 weeks, both the training and also the diet plan. Regular reviews to assess progress and setting new goals was great to add the focus throughout the last few months. Great people, great gym! Looking forward to continuing with the team into 2018!

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to thank all the staff at shapeshifters studio for their support in my 12 week program. Special thanks to my personal trainer Anna who has been a superstar in my training keeping me motivated and always pushed me to my best. It has been an intense program but worth it in the end. Needed to put in a lot of effort especially with the diet but it all payed off. Looking forward to continuing with their team.

Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about having a healthy transformation then I couldn’t recommend anywhere better. All of the personal trainers are very friendly, and you will get a workout plan that is personal and suited to yourself and your goals. Matt has been my PT for a long time now & really pushes me to reach my potential as he knows my weak points and my strengths. I have on occasion trained with the other PT’s at Shapeshifters and have had a great workout with each of them too. Overall a great gym!

Fantastic experience: I started off doing the 8 week programme, aiming to lose some weight but mainly tone-up all over. Even with my really busy, and ever changing, uni schedule I was able to keep training with the same PTs (Oli and Anna), which was great for consistent training. The staff are super friendly and encouraging, while also pushing you to your limits during sessions. Even though the studio is small, it has everything you could need to give a varied workout session, and ensure that the training really is personal. The training is also a good mix of circuit training and interval, with both weight and cardio elements. The sessions are hard work, but I even surprised myself when I started to enjoy them and look forward to coming, and missed going on my days off. Even after just 8 weeks I have dropped a dress size, feel so much healthier and full of energy. The strict nutrition plan is really helpful, and Adele is more than happy to go into detail explaining it. It’s not only fantastic for losing weight, but also to make you more aware of what you’re eating and how it is used by your body. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve joined for another 4 weeks! Big thanks to Oli and Anna for putting up with me, and making the sessions so enjoyable. ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Shapeshifters have completely changed my life, I suffered with horrendous heart burn for years. After the first two weeks of their diet plan I have stopped taking my medication and haven't had a flare up since. I have also lost nearly 2 stone in weight! The team are really helpful and friendly and always have time to answer your questions.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get fit develop muscle and develop a life changing look and outlook mentally

Fantastic experience: I had been overtraining and undereating. Shapeshifters sorted out my diet, pointed out problems with my movement patterns and showed me simple methods of improving them. Result = 4 months later 10kg of muscle heavier AND decreased body fat. If you want to improve your physique , there is no better.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with a number of personal trainers during my 2 years in Birmingham and none have proved more effective or knowledgeable than Adele– I have dropped a dress size and gained lean muscle mass by working out with her, and there is no need to starve myself or be stressed thinking of going to the gym. I have had no hesitation in recommending her to friends and colleagues, she is the best !

Fantastic experience: I got a good result here! It helps me to have a better body shape!

Fantastic experience: Joining Shapeshifters for a 12 week body transformation programme is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a strong candidate for inheriting and developing diabetes, I had to make a lifestyle change. The tailored nutritional plan and workout programme as well as the skills and expertise of everyone at Shapeshifters will ensure you get the best results and leave you equipped by the end of your programme. I’m a living proof of this, I lost about 10% body fat (from 26.7 to 17.1%) and gained some muscle mass. More importantly, I’ve learnt a lot about how the body works and how to eat correctly – if you ask the right questions you’d be amazed at how knowledgeable you’d get (Adele and Callum, my trainer, you legend!, know this – thank you for answering my endless questions). What’s more important is the friendly atmosphere in the studio every single day which I found quite refreshing – special mention to Cooper my man who’s always there to shake your hands. To the rest of the SS crew, Max, Matt, Junior thanks for all the support as well. As a final note, it sure was difficult but with determination and dedication, it was also a fun and worthwhile journey. Do yourself a favour and join Shapeshifters 

Fantastic experience: I decided to try and get into some kind of shape after letting myself go over the last 20 years. My diet wasn't the best and I had no real form of exercise in my life. I decided to do something about it and try and lose the unhealthy belly and tone up..... Then I came across Shapeshifters. I can honestly say that Shapeshifters offer the complete package..... A gym with Cardio, weights as well as machines, supplement's, and most importantly knowledge...... These guys really know what they are doing and work as a team to get the most out of you. The environment is a friendly informal environment where you are made to feel welcome, the whole team knows your name and you walk in to handshakes and hi fives.... Which is a fantastic setting to train in. My PT was Max.... Max was fantastic in advising me on correct exercise form and posture as well as picking what exercises were right for me to help me reach my goal. His knowledge on different training techniques as well as nutrition was second to none.... He pushed me through the pain barrier when the mind wanted to give up.... And as a result I got the results I was after...... He was always available to give advice and guidance even after hours which was invaluable. If you want to make a positive change to your life visit Shapeshifters.

Fantastic experience: Great bunch of people who will do their utmost to get the best out of you. As long as you are willing to put the effort in you will definitely get results here and I am grateful for the progress I made during my time there. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Having just finished the 12 week programme at Shapeshifters, I can honestly say I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to transform their body. Having always been a very skinny guy I had tried to gain muscle mass at different gyms with nothing to really show for the effort. Having finished at Shapeshifters I’ve gained 8kg of muscle over only 12 weeks and more importantly, a solid knowledge base of diet and training regimens to continue building mass. I would look at Shapeshifters as a pathway to your goals, very different from my previous gym experiences, as they were there every step of the way to guide me. From the start Shapeshifters came up with a personalised diet plan to fit with my goals, with a bit of tweaking along the way so that I was always on track to reach my goals. The personal trainers are extremely motivational and supportive, pushing you every step of the way. But not only have I gained size, I’ve found my sleep has improved, energy levels are up and I’m more focused and productive at work, they really do take a holistic approach to training. 100% recommended, you won’t regret it, the most professional and motivational gym I've been to. Thanks very much to the team at Shapeshifters for all their help all!

Fantastic experience: Shapeshifters has given me that path to a healthier lifestyle. The programs they provide are meticulously tailored to the individual. I loved sweet and junk food but with the diet I was given, I was able quickly adapt and change my preferences. I have lost weight with my initial fat burner program and now I have signed up for a transformation program. To add even more to the above, the customer service is brilliant at worst and the personal trainers are polite, helpful and carries top notch customer satisfaction behaviours. Check it out, it will change your life!

Fantastic experience: I started training at Shapeshifters Studio mid October 2013 and I've loved every minute of it! If you're looking for a great place to have personal training in Birmingham look no further than Shapeshifters. All the staff genuinely care about their client's progress and take their needs and personal circumstances into account whilst training them. They're all very approachable and friendly but at the same time get the best out of you when you're training to maximise your results. Shapeshifters has moved me in the right direction to achieving my goals and helped me to lead a more active and healthier lifestyle. With Shapeshifters, the services and training they offer isn't just about getting you fitter, losing weight or putting on muscle; it is an investment in your health, and about changing your lifestyle for the better. If you are struggling to make up your mind about whether or not to join Shapeshifters, I definitely recommend giving it a go. Big thanks to Ant, Cooper, Bex and the rest of the Shapeshifters team!

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed being at shapeshifters, they're staff are so well informed about latest techniques and training methods, they really inspire you to improve yourself! I would highly recommend to anyone who is seriously wants to get fitter and learn how to eat properly.

Fantastic experience: When a friend recommended that I “Get down to Shapeshifters, they will sort you out!” I was nervous a little sceptical at first wondering what had inspired such confidence in my friend. It didn’t take long to see what my friend was talking about. From the first time you walk through the door all of the staff are friendly and helpful. I signed up for a 48 session package as soon as I had the consultation. I was supplied with a diet plan and a training schedule that were tailored to me, the diet plan has been revised a number of times through my program as milestones are reach and passed. The difference it has made to my life has been unbelievable; I am now slimmer, fitter and stronger than I have been in a very long time. The results of the first 48 session program were so good I signed up for a second 48 session package. Joining Shapeshifters was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would recommend them to anyone, you let them know what your goals are and they will tailor the program to help you reach those goals.

Fantastic experience: What can I say? Shapeshifters has changed every aspect of my life for the better. The team there are second to none and have a true passion for health and fitness. As someone who considered them self to be fairly knowledgable in the industry, I was blown away by the level of knowledge and attention to detail in every aspect of training and nutrition that they provide. This isn't just a top class personal training studio its a close knit community and a true learning experience. If you want to make a positive life long change then this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: One of the most high calibre Personal Training Facilities that I have come across. Professional, knowledgeable, passionate and fun!

Fantastic experience: I enquired with Shapeshifters a little while ago with regards to any classes they may do (I enjoy my group classes). It turned out, they did not do classes as they stick to 1-on-1 Personal Training. I did go down to the studo however, and the manager spent time chatting with me about my goals and what I wanted to achieve. We came to the conclusion that I wanted different things to their packages offered. There was no pressure to join, just a friendly, welcoming team, who gave me the time I needed to ask all of my questions.

Fantastic experience: by far once of the most advanced personal training teams I'v seen so far. their knowledge and attitude will get you results no matter what your goal. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Eight years ago I had a car accident that left me unable to do any of the activities I loved and as a result I lived in constant pain and piled on the pounds! About 18 months ago I got totally fed up and resolved to get fit again. I chose Shapeshifters due to the AMAZING testimonials and the inhouse experience when it came to injuries and rehabilitation. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made! I went from a size 14 to an 8/10 in a matter of months, lost two stone and am now in the best shape of my life... plus my pain is gone!! Shapeshifters has turned my life around and I am now back to being the active bubbly girl I once was! I recommend them to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I contacted Shapeshifters as I wanted help with me diet ready for a physique competition. I had to travel to them for the health screens, but for a very reasonable price, they provided me with a diet and a training programme each month leading up to my competition. I have learnt a lot from them, and will return in the future.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with many different trainers in the past and none have come close to the trainers here. The knowledge, expertise and most importantly the passion you will find here can not be matched. The trainers at Shapeshifters pride themselves on getting their clients results and are always there to motivate you to achieve your goals. If you want to get in to the best shape of your life then give them a call, it will be the best decision you have ever made.
