John assured me that I?d be fine with the exercises and that he was aware of my condition. He forgot to tell the coaches that I couldn?t lift heavy weights etc . He knew I was awaiting an MRI but still tried to take payment. Rise have messed my back up some more, awaiting an operation. If you have previous injuries please don?t listen to John, he can make things 10 times worse.

I?ve never been able to stick to a generic ?gym? but this place has completely changed the way I see workouts! It?s not just a gym, the coaching is amazing and makes you genuinely want to go and exercise as it?s such a friendly club!

I?m an online member as I don?t live near to Macclesfield.I love the personal support you receive from Jon and all his staff. The live online videos mean you can join a class and be part of it. There are lots of classes and if you aren't able to join a live class , you can do an online video of any of the classes any day any time. The support you get from Jon and his team is amazing. You receive personal attention from Jon who checks in with you on a regular basis. You also get lots of confidence building posts on line. I have lost weight and feel much fitter than I have in years and at 66 yrs old, that?s a great thing !!!!Thank you Jon and all the team members and coaches.

Positive, supportive environment that has really helped changed my health and life for the better.I honestly can't say enough good things about Jon and the entire team at The Academy GTC. All the trainers are excellent, the workout can be flexed to allow anyone to get the best out of their time at each session. But most importantly - it's the shared, community belief that encourages you to make the right choices and hit your own personal goals. I joined thinking I might do it for a short time, but I wouldn't be without it now, it's help me make really positive life decisions.

A simply brilliant way to get fit, physically and mentally.I've lost weight before, but have never really worked hard on my fitness. This place makes fitness fun.Great coaches, great people to work out with, and loads of support.Encouragement. Positivity. Simple goals to aim towards. Meal plans. Daily blogs and videos. All the tools you need to challenge yourself and have fun.Habits you can set yourself every week. Go as hard and as fast as you like. Work to your own ability. Nobody judging you at all - whatever size or shape you are.Honestly, joining here is the best decision I've made in years. And there are scores of other people, like me, who know that this is much more than a 'gym' in the traditional sense. It's about building a better way of life through positive choices and decision-making.I lost 28lbs during the 8-week challenge, but it was about more than that for me. I feel so much better for joining this place. If you're considering getting fitter, healthier and stronger, this is the place to be.

2 months ago I was heavily over weight feeling low and bloated and knew I needed to change my lifestyle. I had tried gyms and it never stuck. I needed a dramatic change I have found it at the academy GTC.The academy is full of like minded people who are looking to feel healthier. The coaches are great there are no sideways glances by anyone like I have felt in other health establishments. I want to keep coming be cause i want to not because I have to.
