True Fitness

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Birmingham and Solihull. Great atmosphere with knowledgeable, approachable trainers. I love the place, definitely recommend ❤️

Fantastic experience: If you are like me and find yourself wandering aimlessly around mainstream gyms true fitness is the one for you. The small group PT classes really help focus on goals and improvement. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive and the bootcamps deceptively intense. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start a supported and fun fitness journey

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since November and love going. Totally different from any other gym. Everyone is so friendly, small class sizes and I have noticed great improvement!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend True Fitness enough. I've been going for about 3 years now and would not change gyms. It's a great place to train whether you're new to exercising or not. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, there's no judgment on your level of fitness, just openness and willingness to help. All the PTs are great and knowledgeable. But aside from the fitness side, it's also a great place to have a laugh. There are plenty of social events on. 5 stars all around!

Fantastic experience: So where do I start…. the banter, the small group workouts, the choice of classes, the range of cardio vs strength, the interest in you as a person, the socials, the tidiness of the gym, the tea making ……. I am so happy that I moved to True Fitness, for me it’s a walkable distance from home but it’s also it’s a family atmosphere and a safe space. No one should walk into a gym and feel out of place- and True Fitness makes sure that this is not the case. I started here in August 2024, and haven’t regretted a day. Stu and Hayley have been super welcoming and make you feel at home straight away and I am always impressed that Stu can remember everyone’s names!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained here for 9 months and I’ve absolutely loved the experience compared to a commercial gym. The small group PT concept works for everyone from beginners to advanced weightlifters with support and guidance from the PTs. Also, EVERYONE puts their weights back!!!!

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never liked the gym, I have been converted by the amazing PTs at True Fitness!! There is a real sense of community and everyone including the trainers are so friendly and always happy to help. A fantastic gym that makes going to the gym something you look forward to. Would highly recommend True Fitness to everyone.....wherever you are on your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to True Fitness for two years now. I joined for mental health reasons to get out of the house. Two years later, I'm stronger and getting into great shape. I looked at other gyms, and what sets True Fitness apart is that the sessions are small group PT, and all the classes are done and written for you. Each month, they go from foundation week to strength week, Pump week, and Personal best week. If you compare this to a personal PT session you get great value for money. the more you go the cheaper per session. With another gym, you pay per month, and you have to think about what you have to do and the motivation to go is low. The PT trainers are great If you have injuries and or stiff limbs they know which exercises to do and what not to do. They are funny and chatty (Stu is very chatty think he has a blowhole as I don't see him breathe while talking). Fully recommend the gym.

Fantastic experience: Only been coming to this gym since the start of December, but I love it. Yes it's more expensive than a standard gym but you get small PT style sessions which are great for making you feel comfortable, your personal development and good form! Everyone from the PTs to the gymgoers have made me feel so welcome!

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM EVER!!! It’s unlike any other gym I’d been in before and so I was nervous when I first joined. I didn’t need to be because the whole team are really friendly and make you feel at home instantly. I was introduced to all of the other members and have made some amazing new friends. If you’ve been a member of other gyms in the past but struggled to keep at it then this gym is for you. If you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before then this gym is for you, there’s no better place to start. If you’re a seasoned gym goer looking for the next level then this is the right place for you too! Stu is extremely knowledgeable and is always more than happy to spend time with members discussing individual goals. He makes sure that each and every person is using the correct technique and will make any necessary adjustments to suit every person. You get to focus on your own individual training but the small group setting makes you feel like part of a team at the same time. What’s not to like?

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Stu who owns True Fitness for over 10 years. Stu has built a fantastic small and friendly gym with a real difference. The gym offers small group PT sessions so you really feel like you are getting that personal service but also benefit from getting to know a great bunch of people. The sessions are always great fun, especially the Saturday morning Kettlebells. We work hard but it doesn’t feel like that as there’s such a great community feeling. I’d recommend the studio and its coaches to both those experienced and new gym goers. You won’t just get fitter you’ll make real friends.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend True Fitness highly enough! Everyone is so friendly & welcoming and the gym has a real community feel. Their small PT group model is excellent & means you get the benefit of training with really experienced, well-qualified PTs in a cost-effective way. There’s always plenty of space to train and a variety of classes on offer.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of True Fitness since June 2024, but somehow it feels like I’ve been there longer! Great gym space, bright and airy and plenty of equipment. The gym provides small group pt sessions, at all times of the day. I personally like the flexibility of the 6 am classes as I can get my work out in before work, and the 9:30 kettlebell class on a Saturday has such a vibe! But what really makes this place is the people ❤️ You’ll always find support, kindness and a wealth of experience in the PT’s. Jemma, Alisha, Tash, Hayley and Stu have combined helped me with my technique in lifting the heavy weights, and eating right, and I’m pleased to say I’m finally loosing the ‘baby weight!’ I’ve met some lovely people along the way too! There’s always someone to share a story with and spur you on in class! ❤️

Fantastic experience: True fitness is a gym where you get listened to your understood, your goals matter and most importantly your not just a number becoming a member at true fitness 4 years ago was the best thing I ever did I have made friends for life learnt new habits and became part of a community if you want to get fit and have fun social evenings then true fitness Is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: I was suffering with back pain and hated getting stuck in the same routine at a generic gym, since going here I have no back pain and have never been fitter! Love it. I highly recommend giving it a go, friendly and fun with a brilliant bunch.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms you will find. They have gym experts and personal trainers who really care about your progression. They are constantly evolving which means that your training plan never becomes rigid or boring. There is a huge emphasis on community and the place makes you feel like you belong. There is also lots social events which help you to make gym buddies which in turn helps you to push yourself and your friends to achieve your physical goals. A gym like no other.

Fantastic experience: True fitness is the most welcoming, comfortable and accepting environment in Solihull that caters for all walks of life. Whether you are a complete beginner, or an experienced gym goer looking to get stronger and fitter. This is a community that cares and will be the place for you. In my 8 year career as a health and fitness coach I have used multiple fitness facilities. None of them cater for their clients like Stuart and his team. He is also an amazing support for the coaches that he has on board. True fitness is "Truely" the place you need to be. You will enjoy every session and every single member of the team knows how to coach. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: My sons been attending here under the guidance of Hayley for the last 3+ years. I do not have the right words to articulate just how amazing Hayley is. My son has autism so struggles with social interactions but he adores and trusts her and will not go anywhere else. She really is the best out there

Fantastic experience: Quality Gym, led by a good set of PT trainers. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Hayley was very friendly and welcoming immediately putting me, a first time visitor, at ease. She really listened to what I said and worked on the right areas to good effect. It was well worth my while booking an appointment with her and I will go again for another massage.

Fantastic experience: Hayley was excellent with sports massage. Really good pressure and really listened to my needs. In the past I've had therapists forget my requests and not give enough pressure so now I won't go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Struggled with an ongoing shoulder injury/muscle tension. Hayley’s attention to detail was brilliant & she’s extremely professional.

Fantastic experience: Very good highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Hayley has been working with our daughter for several months and we are absolutely delighted with the development she has made. Hayley totally understood the requirements that she needs as a goalkeeper and built a program to support her. We recommend Hayley to anyone with a nervous or shy child, she is patient and very supportive.

Fantastic experience: Hayley is amazing! She has been working with my two children, who both play football, for several months. They absolutely love the sessions and are making excellent progression. Hayley is very passionate about what she does and makes the sessions fun and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I booked a one to one to improve strength. Hayley was amazing in her approach & knowledge, made me feel welcome and made it easier than I expected...even fun . I'm motivated now ☺️. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Hayley really is the most down to earth and loveliest person, genuinely passionate about her coaching and in helping you. If you ever need any advice or help she is always there and gets back to you really quickly. If you would need any adjustments to your training programme she would happily do it for you, however mine has always been ideal and allows me to focus on pushing myself and progressing. I have been with Hayley for years through gyms and home workouts and she is always looking for you to push yourself. I really do feel like a different person, her coaching has changed my life and mindset and I cannot thank Hayley enough for all she has done! The best coaching I have ever received and the best investment! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Fresh and delicious food. Absolutely loving it

Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage from Hayley, She did fantastic work on my legs and being careful around my ankle where I have a problem. Hayley listens to you with a caring nature about any problems you might have that could be affected by a sports massage which really does help. I can highly recommend her. Will definitely be going back. Thank you so much Hayley

Fantastic experience: Great experience , very professional

Fantastic experience: It was one of the best experience, professional, her massage technique is amazing. I really enjoyed sports massage high recommend Hayley

Fantastic experience: Thank you Hayley, I always feel brilliant after one of your sports massages and that I can move a lot better. You know exactly which areas need working on and explain what you are doing and why. Would highly recommend Hayley! Thanks Andrea

Fantastic experience: Didn't realise I was being looked after a celeb? Hehe! Jokes aside, I have received Sports Massages from Hayley a few times now. Got to admit she has been amazing every time. She always checks with me as to which muscle groups are in need of some extra TLC and then adjusts her treatment accordingly. Being the sociable person I am, it is fun to chat to her during the session. And due to her professionalism she maintains the high quality of treatment whilst talking. Keep up the good work Hayley!

Fantastic experience: Hayley’s done a cracking job at understanding where focus was needed for my sports massage and she executed it in the best way possible, definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Professional and great advice given

Fantastic experience: True Fitness is more than just a gym...expert advice and personalised training with a friendly, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend - they are inclusive to all unlike many of the larger chains.

Fantastic experience: One of the best strength and conditioning gyms in Birmingham. Refreshing staff, who care about members and push them to achieve results. Also a community feel with knowledgeable staff with an excellent venue.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly gym with excellent personal trainers. Made to feel very welcome by staff and members and only wished I had found this place sooner.

Fantastic experience: Hayley provides excellent PT sessions and adapts it to individual needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Amazing PT! Have been training with Hayley for nearly 2 years and I have developed significantly over this time. She has been able to accommodate and adapt my training due to my disability and made sure that I can continue to develop and push myself more and more!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Hayley's for several years now and I'm always delighted by the service. Hayley is personable and always accommodating to find a slot that best suits you. She's diligent in her work and I would rate her sports massage 10/10!

Fantastic experience: My 15 year old son with additional needs initially enjoyed some group sessions with Hayley last year and then followed this with some one to one strength sessions. Hayley put him at ease and he really enjoyed the sessions. It's a really welcoming gym at True Fitness and I'd highly recommend Hayley for children, especially with SEN.

Fantastic experience: My son has been having PT with Hayley for almost a year now. She tailors every session to suit his needs and abilities. Hayley is also very adaptable and has incorporated his love of football into their weekly sessions, particularly during the summer. She treats him with respect and encourages him to push himself out of his comfort zone to achieve higher levels of fitness, and I know he really enjoys this. She has worked with him to understand how exercise can help with all of his activities of daily living and considering he has balance and coordination issues he has improved greatly since training with Hayley. Cannot recommended Hayley enough she connects with the people she trains.

Fantastic experience: My 14 year old son was referred to Hayley from his physiotherapist after suffering a knee dislocation whilst football training. Her amazing expertise and advice helped him to build strength in his knees/legs resulting in him being able to continue playing football without pain. Hayley also sent me exercises for my son to continue with long term, which should help prevent his injury from re-occurring. Hayley was very approachable, professional and helpful, with clearly a huge wealth of knowledge in her field of work. She always made it clear that if we had any concerns or questions to contact her. She made my son feel at ease and built up his confidence to return to football. Without her and his physio I honestly believe that my son would have given up football, so I am honestly truly grateful to them both for everything they have done for him. So if you are looking for a PT who knows their stuff then Hayley is the person to contact!! Thanks again!!

Fantastic experience: Hayley is brilliant. My autistic 13year old son worked with her on an individual programme and in small group sessions. She was so keen to learn about his needs and how best to support him. She built an instant rapport with him and was patient, motivating, enthusiastic and kind. She understood his needs so well and seems to have a real affinity for working with children with additional needs. Her sessions were fun and well planned, and was always flexible to meet his mood. I would recommend Hayley for any age or ability. She really is one of the good ones!

Fantastic experience: Hayley is brilliant 100% recommend. She really supports you to reach your goals! 5*

Fantastic experience: My daughter has had a few Physio sessions with Hayley Hayley is very professional and established an immediate rapport and understanding of her issues with muscle tightness. Physio and advice We will definitely be going back to Hayley again Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Hayley has been training my ASD teenage son for over 2 years, in small groups and 1 to 1. She is very understanding, encouraging and motivating. My son enjoys his strength training each Saturday and is frequently getting PBs which he loves telling me about.

Fantastic experience: Hayley is very knowledgeable and friendly, with great service. Always feel brand new after each session, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Hayley and the team at true fitness have also been helpful engaging and kind and small results and improvements in my fitness that made showing up regularly worth it. I would definitely recommend true fitness to anyone with a disability or injury that are looking to grow stronger with.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for someone who can cater for many needs then Hayley is your person. She offers many great services from; group fitness classes, 1-1 personal training (PT), sports massage ect. I have used Hayley for many years now and regularly attend her group bootcamp sessions to get my cardio sessions in. They are well structured and fun at the same time making sure that everyone is engaged whilst pitching it at the right level for everyone's needs. During lockdown, I went to Hayley for her PT sessions which benefited me a lot! Before lock down I suffered an injury on my quad which made me lose my confidence performing simple exercises. She managed to build my confidence by building on the simple exercises to a point where I am now lifting 2.5x my body weight when deadlifting. Her knowledge in the industry is amazing and she is always looking to learn from others within the industry to keeping giving her clients the best service possible! Finally, her sports massages are top quality. As someone who regularly exercises over different sports, I manage to pick up knocks and little injuries from time to time. She not only fixes them and keeps them at bay, but also recommends some exercises and stretches to do after the sports massage which will prevent the injury from reoccurring. Hayley is one of the best out there! Thanks for all the help Hayley

Fantastic experience: Hayley is my go to massage therapist that sorts out all my knots and I leave feeling a lot less tense and have a lot more movement too. Hayley is friendly and very knowledgeable. Would totally recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Hayley works weekly with our young daughter who plays tennis in order to develop her fitness snd strength. She is personable, has great expertise and clearly has a passion for what she does. Hollie looks forward to her sessions each week and we can see her progress - cannot recommend Hayley highly enough

Fantastic experience: Hayley has been working with my two children for several months and it’s been brilliant for them, especially my son who struggles with balance and co-ordination. He looks forward to the sessions and is making good progress. Seeing how good Hayley was with the kids, I’ve also been having PT with Hayley myself for a couple of months, after no exercise for over 10 years, issues with my weight and health, and not knowing where to start. Again Hayley has been brilliant. We are building up slowly, she listens to me, and whilst I have a long way to go, I can already feel stronger more energy, and it’s had such a positive impact on my mental health. The gym where she works is small and friendly, which is a big help. I highly recommend Hayley for both kids and adults - particularly if you or your child face any challenges with fitness. And if I can do it, anyone can!

Fantastic experience: Hayley is very professional, i had my first session with her after she was recommended to me and i will be back for further treatments.

Fantastic experience: I have had a number of sports massages from Hayley and she has always been able to sort out any issue I have had. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that was in need of one!

Fantastic experience: Today I had my very first sports massage, after asking around and having an outstanding recommendation I decided to book an appointment with hayley, which was really easy to do. I arrived and was greeted with a warm welcome. Hayley talked me through the process and which areas were particularly tight and knotted. We had a great conversation and she really made me feel at ease throughout the session. If anyone is looking for a sports massage I would 100 % recommend hayley.

Fantastic experience: Always professional and organised. Have had both personal training and sports massage with Hayley due to having issues with my back. Hayley has been able to recommend exercises and stretches to strengthen my back, with out causing me further injury. As well as, relieve the pain in my back. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Hayley :)

Fantastic experience: I have been using Hayley for around 6 months now (weekly or bi weekly) and have received nothing less than a superb service. My body gets pretty beat up from my training and so injuries can often occur. Hayley has managed to not only keep those injuries at bay but also increase my mobility and workout quality by eliminating old knots and niggles making me feel as good as new. Thank you Hayley for such a great service.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Really good trainers and equipment and really friendly. Definitely recommend over a chain gym any day.

Fantastic experience: PT Hayley is fantastic always pushing and encouraging you to reach your limit each session. Being out doors at the moment doesn't matter cause you literally are sweating within minutes. Always feel great after my workout and feel really safe with the covid secure procedures they have in place. Would highly recommend as an added I hate the gym and exercise but never feel like it here looking forward to being able to go back inside when this is all over

Fantastic experience: Booked an hours Sports Massage with Kyle twice, very good experience I must say. You really feel all the benefits from a sports massage and I would recommend this therapist, thanks once again.

Positive experience: Great venue for getting fitter whatever your goals are there is something to suit everyone at every level. Stuart MacDonald, the owner, is an all-round nice guy with a wealth of knowledge regarding all things fitness. Highly recommended

Positive experience: Lovely place

Fantastic experience: Today was my first ever sports massage. To say that i feel a lot better is an understatmemt. Very friendly people with excellent methods. Will definitely be using again amd would recommend without a second thought.

Fantastic experience: I came in last week for a hamstring injury after badminton, Hayley assessed and treated my hamstring with massage and found out that my glute wasnt working right so over the next week she has helped me work out my glutes, now I no longer have hamstring pain.

Fantastic experience: Very much a community gym with a very friendly atmosphere. The coaches are experienced and knowledgeable and emphasise health and enjoyment. This stands in stark contrast to a lot of gyms where they'll have your knees ripped apart in no time with ill-thought out, one size fits all HIIT classes. It's the Cheers of gyms, perfect if sometimes you want to go where everybody know your name and they're always glad you came, and they're qualified and trained. If you prefer to anonymously lift weights or jump on the treadmill with your headphones in it probably isn't for you though.

Fantastic experience: Fab relaxed environment where the trainers really listen and support you in achieving your goals
