I've been coming to the gym at least twice a week plus other activities at the centre. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Every time I use the gym my instructor Paul checks in to see how things are going, his encouragement and knowledge is really important in helping me commit to continue.

I started Training in the gym at South Holderness in January to get ready for my holiday in summer. I find exercise handy when it comes to help to deal with stress and find the centre a welcoming place, the staff are always friendly especially seeing the regular faces in the gym always brightening my day. I’m really looking forward to the new gym when it reopens as I feel it will help me progress even more in my weight loss with exciting new things to try.

I have been a member of many different gyms all over the UK. I stumbled across Francis Scaife when I moved to the area, the facilities might be smaller than what I am used too, but the staff and the welcoming feel of the centre beats anything I have used before. I always look forward to a workout at my local gym.

With thanks to Tom, for his support and drive in the last 11 months of coming to the gym, I have turned my life and health around. In 11 months, I have lost 9 ½ stone with a target of 10 stone by the end of January, this I think is well in sight and manageable. Not only has it done my body and appearance good, but it has also changed me mentally, but as I say without Tom and other staff members like Jan being behind me, it wouldn't have happened and as Tom said when I met him - if you keep at it, you will get results, how true. I'm truly grateful.

All the gym staff are fantastic, they have a wide range of knowledge and experience and they are always willing to help. The staff encouraged me to try different exercise classes and I love the community and social interaction with the instructors and the members.
