RISE

This place has honestly changed my life. From an overweight, head-in-the-sand, exercise averse, and unbeknownst to me unhappy person, to a nearly two-stone lighter, healthier, happier, fitter, leaner man who is enjoying exercise for the first time in his life. Great coaches, great classes, great advice, great fun, and great results. Try it.

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.

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.

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. .Moreexpand_more

Looked into several gym in the macclesfield area once I read up on them I soon came to realise the academy was the place which fitted my end goal to loose weight with a class fun environment jon philosophy to getting results is fantastic just look at him and that is what I wanted 8 weeks later im 20lbs down and feeling and looking great.

I was in a rut and on a downward spiral; gaining weight, eating the wrong things and not exercising. I knew I needed to do something about it and needed something or someone to bolster my will power if I was going to have any chance of turning things around. I'm still relatively new, having only completed a month but having lost over a stone in weight and feeling so much better mentally already BUT this place has given me the desire to be the best and the healthiest me - just like it has for hundreds before me and if you give it a chance it will for you too. Absolute 11 out of 10 place and people.

Commit to the GTC and change your life for the better - I did ? . 8 weeks in and I surpassed their and my target. Lots of help online and in person available.

Great variety of sessions that work every part of your body, great way to shed pounds, good lifestyle advise as well.

Great place to go. I found the experience supportive and encouraging. The sessions change regularly and keep you interested. Coaches are superb in supporting and guiding you on what ever weight loss challenge you are undertaking.

The Academy has helped me to lose 20lbs so far through lifestyle and dietary advice and exercise. The exercise classes are tough but fun. It's a supportive environment where we are encouraged to only compete with ourselves while working with others and it is non-judgmental. Thank you!

Can’t recommend the academy enough. Great coaching and excellent atmosphere to get brilliant results.

Great setup. Great motivation. Great results! 23lbs lost in 7 weeks!

A supportive and welcoming atmosphere await all! Coaches and other members are friendly and encouraging with something for all levels of fitness! I've been a member for 2 months and love it, completed the 20lb challenge and I feel great. Highly recommend!

The academy isn't a gym, it's a support network with all the tools to change your life. I have been a member for 8 weeks now and I feel smaller, more awake and happier!

Great place! Would recommend.

I was really impressed with the academy as a new starter, and already feel like a regular after only two weeks in. Really good variation of sessions and it fits in with my working hours and 1 hour commute! It feels like it has the right balance in relation to pushing you on positively without pressurising. Everyone should feel welcome here.

The best place to change your lifestyle. If you want to loose weight, feel strong and gain your life and confidence back then this is the place to come. It’s awesome in every way from the coaches to the people attending. My life has changed and for the first time ever I’ve stuck to looking after myself. 17lbs down in 9 weeks, fitter, happier, less pain and only downside is I need a new wardrobe. Fab place can’t recommend highly enough.

I have been goign to the Academy for 8 months now and I have just completed another challenge loosing 15lbs between November and December. That akes 45 lbs in total since I joined. Whilst that is fantastic and I am really happy the far bigger change is my fitness health and motivation. I have done things I would never have imagined I could do before I started and I have loved all the experiences. I feel like a different person and my kids have got a far better Mum who enjoys going and doing exciting thigns with them. Joing the academy is the best decision I have ever made. It is the best money I have ever spent on myself and I can't wait for what 2019 holds. Thank you to all the coaches and fellow ninjas for yuor support and encouragement over the last 8 months.

One and only place where you can definitely get results! Amazing coaches with lots of support and family like environment. Academy helps you to take a whole new step in your life towards fitness and healthy eating! Highly recommended place for anyone!

I have been a member for just 4 weeks. Though it is very short time, I have had fantastic experience so far. It is very friendly environment with excellent coaches, along with great minded fellow members. I have not only learnt and doing workouts here, It helped to revamp my entire dietary too. I would like to thank the entire team for their effort and help. I highly recommend Academy for everyone especially who is keen to get back their fitness.
