5ways Gym & Fitness Birmingham

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience doing 1-2-1 training with Stephen at 5ways gym, very enjoyable 3 months and had great results. This man knows his stuff, he was patient, kind and professional at all times. Clean gym with great equipment. I miss training here. A*

Negative experience: I really did not like my experience here. I feel if you are new to working out or trying to get back into it after years, STAY AWAY! When I went in for the first time, he wrote my stats on some notebook and then there was no information how this was being going to be reviewed. He kept saying that he will take the burden off me because I know I'm not good at creating a routine. He never asked about my food intake, I spoke to him and he said I could WhatsApp him. I'm not sure how he can judge the calorie counting on that. I never did because he never chased it up nor did he query it. My actual training sessions were sold as a group training with a personal training twist. This was clear that there would be one or two people at the same skill level. I was paired with a woman who is a yoga and pilates trainer. I feel the sessions benefitted her and were not benefitting me. When the exercises were just too much for me, he would just send me to get on the treadmill. It just seems like a waste of time and money really. I think he can be excellent for those in shape who want to get better but for those who are starters, I feel im giving him free money. Also, careful when you sign up, there's no actual terms and conditions that are sent to you. He claimed I needed to give him 30 days notice to cancel and then sent some screenshot from an unknown source that says 10. I'm not too impressed by the conduct of this business and feel quite used and not actually cared for. For 300 a month, you kinda want him to actually care but it's all generic and a paycheck

Fantastic experience: The absolute best! Knowledgable! Motivating! Encouraging! Great vibes! Guaranteed to see results once consistent!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym Experience I’ve Had – Like Personal Training in a Class Setting I’ve spent over 10 years in and around gyms — everything from solo training to PT and group classes at places ranging from JD Gyms, Anytime Fitness up to Nuffield Healths, as well as some corporate gyms. But after a year off, I was struggling to get back into routine. Signing up for the 6-week transformation programme at 5Ways Transformation Gym turned out to be exactly what I needed. Although my BMI was already in a good range and I didn’t have much visible weight to lose, I still made noticeable progress: Lost 4cm around my waist Gained 2cm on my arms Resting heart wrate decreased by 10bpm Increased pull-ups from 2 to 9 Hit PBs in several areas, including building up to a 60kg weighted squat and this is a good example how this is different. Most classes I’ve done elsewhere rarely push past 20kg 30Kg max, and on my own this was one exercise due to neck issues I have never pushed — but during these sessions, the support and structure gave me the confidence to lift more and push further getting new PB each week. A standout aspect of the programme was the coaching from Stephen. I’ve done hundreds of classes before, often with 3–25 people in the room, but these sessions (typically 3–7 people) and it felt completely different. The level of feedback on technique, personal encouragement, and attention to form was like having a PT session in a group format. Even comparing a class with 7 people at 5 Ways gym with a class with 3 people in at other gyms. I would choose 5 Ways experience. Also worth highlighting is the inclusivity and adaptability of the sessions. There was a real mix of experience levels in the group — from seasoned gym-goers to people completely new to fitness — and every exercise was adapted to suit the individual. Whether you were aiming to push your limits or just build confidence, everyone was supported, encouraged, and given the right level of challenge to progress safely and effectively. Stephen also took the time to understand that running is a big part of my life, and regularly related exercises back to how they’d support and improve my running — something I really appreciated. Thank you, Stephen, for all your help and expert guidance. I genuinely enjoyed every session, made progress I’m proud of, and felt truly supported throughout. Without a doubt, these were the best classes I’ve ever attended — more like tailored coaching than a standard fitness class. Highly recommended to anyone looking to get stronger, fitter, and more confident in a supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: Did a 6 week transformation program just to rebuild my strength, gain lean muscle and get my mojo back into fitness. Classes we functional and adapted to all abilities.. If you want to start or restart your fitness lifestyle journey, join the 5ways gym family.

Fantastic experience: My Son has been training with Stephen at this gym for a while now and is always so excited for his sessions. Would really recommend to anyone thinking of joining

Fantastic experience: I was slightly apprehensive about joining any gym but Stephen soon put me at ease. Not having joined a gym in the past and being unsure about my level of fitness I wasn’t sure if small group classes would work for me. I was so wrong! It’s been such a fun and motivating programme led by Stephen who is an excellent trainer. His experience shines though and has pushed me but has also been very mindful of past injuries and limitations. I can see and feel the results after just a few weeks. Thanks Stephen

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a six-week training program with Stephen and I can confidently say that it was one of the best fitness experiences I’ve had. From day one, he demonstrated an understanding of fitness, nutrition, and motivation, making the entire process both effective and enjoyable. What sets Stephen apart is his ability to tailor workouts to my specific goals and fitness level. He pushed me just the right amount, ensuring I progressed without feeling overwhelmed. His attention to form and technique helped me avoid injuries and maximise results. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive trainer, I highly recommend Stephen. His passion for fitness and commitment to his clients make him an outstanding coach. I’ll definitely continue training with him!

Fantastic experience: Stephen was amazing! His technical knowledge of building an athletic body for peak performance was truly impressive. He provided great insight that gave me a deeper understanding of how to train effectively. I’ll definitely be back again!

Fantastic experience: What a great place! The customer service was amazing, I was in the area for one night and wanted to book in for a class they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The class itself was 10/10, felt amazing afterwards and it was super challenging and loads of support and encouragement throughout. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Stephen (and all the lovely people at the gym) have given me my fitness mood back. With his attention to technique and detail, encouraging approach and good sense of humour, Stephen is a great trainer. The small groups work perfectly, as you are not lost in a mass of people and do get personal attention, without the intensity of a 1:1! The genuine sense of community amongst the various groups means that you feel you belong, regardless of your age, fitness level or shape... and most of all we work hard but also have fun! I can feel the difference after only 6 weeks. If you are thinking about trying it but feel nervous, please don't be...5ways Transformation Gym is the best place to go... come and join us!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience and incredibly grateful to Stephen. I attended with my partner for close to a year and saw such amazing changes after a few months (more than I have in my years trying to go gym on my own). Im notorious for absolutely hating working out but Stephen was able to create tailored plans that were challenging but also fun/exciting. Working out never got boring here and the equipment were some of the best I’ve seen. I only stopped due to moving homes but if it wasn’t for this, I would have happily continued. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: Joining here was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am training with Stephen and my training program was tailored truly for me, based on my realities, needs and objectives. And it has delivered! I am having a great time too, proof being that I have never skipped a session. Stephen and the other trainers are excellent, knowledgeable professionals, always very friendly and the equipment is complete and clean.

Fantastic experience: When first checking out the gym I was amazed by the interior and how spacious it was. The gym was well equipped and organised and it helped quite a bit as a trainer working with the athletes during the commonwealth games. During my time, I have seen many athletes doing various training and many more than satisfied by their experiences.

Fantastic experience: 5ways gym is by far the best private transformation gym I have visited. The knowledge Stephen and his trainers have is inspiring, along with their passion for fitness. The equipment is of a very high quality and the whole environment makes it really easy to engage with your inner athlete :)

Fantastic experience: Training sessions are specifically tailored based on the needs of each individual. Trainers are well educated and they know what they do and how to explain things to clients in order to motivate them (and it works). All the above plus the clean facility and the friendly environment makes it a perfect place to train and improve your body and mind.

The atmosphere is completely different from "traditional gyms". It's more private. I love this place. Mo is an amazing trainer, he is motivating and pushes me to never give up. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Quite versatile facilities

Fantastic experience: Been training with Steve for many years and the new gym is outstanding. It’s a very fuss free and individual focused environment unlike commercial gyms for people who know precisely what they want from their fitness plan, as well as the absolute newbies such as my GF who has never set foot in a gym, before she started training with Steve. The classes are great for people who prefer group activities and I’m excited to see the soon to come future plans that Steve is working on. Best of luck and well deserved

Fantastic experience: Great coach not just physically but you mentally improve aswel. I have a new lease of life thanks to Stephen and 5 ways gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Stephan for nearly 2 months. He has been amazing. If you know what you want but not how to do it Stephan is the one to help you. Working 1-2-1 in his private gym, with amazing quality equipment. He has been so helpful with my weight loss journey. Creating a plan the works specifically for me to achieve my goal as well as learn and understand what I need to do when I leave, to continue with the heathy habits I have learned. He pushed me to be a better person not just physically but mentally, giving me confidence in my daily life. Hun and his gym are one of a kind.

Fantastic experience: I was shown this place in the inception then saw plans of the creation making and transformation it’s a blessing to our community near and far to see more than a building made from building blocks but a community of changed and transformed lives from an ideology to inception to the inspirational hub it has become. Well Done Stephen it’s great to see a place where people can grow in mental and physical health as the brand goes fourth to help to heal and to multiply and one day put 10,000 to flight ‍♂️ Coach R Ncore Love Fam

Fantastic experience: Imagine going to a gym with less equipments than a normal gym and still manage to work out and sweat more than you would in a normal gym! The equipments are clean as well. It’s honestly a great experience, I’ve seen a change mentally and physically. The sessions are challenging but sooo fun at the same time. The trainer pushes you so much that you leave the gym motivated and excited for the next session. Normally a PT would put you on a machine and tell you to do stuff. This one’s completely different BigManTing it’s literally the best gym I love it!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant personal training staff especially Stephen who is very knowledgeable and the best PT I have ever trained with. Gym has the latest equipment all of which is brand new.

Fantastic experience: 5ways Transformation Gym is such a lovely and well-equipped gym! The gym contains everything you need to have a good and effective workout. Stephen the owner is very kind, approachable and knowledgeable as he not only aims to help you transform your body but also your mind too! Lastly, the atmosphere of the gym is chill with modern touches. The gym contains state-of-the-art facilities and equipments to better aid your exercising experience and the premises is always clean and well looked after. Hands down the best gym I’ve come across!

Fantastic experience: A great place to train! Stephen and Mo are very skilled in what they do. They're also very approachable and you see great results.

Negative experience: Had really bad experience with Stephen. Really unprofessional and in appropriate way of deal with customer. Will not recommend it to any one. I have had to inform other customers about his way of conducting his business.

Fantastic experience: Guys this is an absolute fitness center, very true to its name Transformation- Complete Transformation of Body, mind, spirit etc. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. With Stephen's smiling Greetings and expertise to MoBarra's dedicated and passionate personal training. If you are serious about the next level folks then this is the place to be. Just one month in and already more than happy with my results. Way to go Stephen ✌ and thanks Mo. Cheers

Fantastic experience: I first came to Five Ways Transformation Gym with some really sport-specific goals in mind. As an athlete himself, Stephen completely understood what I needed and created a bespoke plan for me - and I'm amazed with the results already. I am stronger, faster and healthier than I've ever been, and this is all down to Stephen's expertise and support during our sessions. Beyond the physical aspect of training, Stephen also helped me through the mental process of becoming a better athlete. Thanks to his guidance, I've become more confident and resilient, which I believe is just as important as building muscle. Stephen is more than just a PT - he's a coach with a holistic approach to training. I couldn't recommend him and his wonderful gym (with brand new equipment!) enough.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! When I am there I am happy!

Fantastic experience: Stephen was previously an athlete and so has ‘walked the talk’ before becoming a coach and training others. He has a wealth of experience and he’s also a really nice guy evidenced from his drive to help and motivate others from a range of different starting points and backgrounds. This is one of the reasons I’ve stayed with him as a trainer. As well as fitness he’s also a capable and confident motivational speaker. His new training suite is well positioned and offers excellent facilities and equipment without the interruptions commonly experienced at commercial gyms.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided each and every time. The building is always clean and has air con throughout. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with excellent facilities situated in a good location. Accessible from all parts of Birmingham , the trainer is professional and knowledgeable . He pushes you to your limits and beyond and you will see your body transform. Amazing place Amazing trainer you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Always on point with training making sure we get the best experience, support and advice, acts professional and communicates accordingly, I really enjoy the gym due to the experience when been there

Fantastic experience: I found muscles I never knew I had. The energy is always high, I always leave the gym on a high and can see such a difference in my body. Thank you so much for seeing my strength especially when I can’t see or feel if. Defo recommend 5 ways transformation gym. It does what it says on the tin ❤️
