“Thought it was a gym membership but turned out to be a health investment.”

Thought it was a gym membership but turned out to be a health investment. Thought we were gym members but it turned out we were a community. Thought it was a luxury but turned out to be an essential. From teens to octagenarians, whatever your starting point, you're in safe, skilled, supportive hands in a non judgemental, encouraging environment. I can't recommend PPG enough. All you have to do is walk through the door. See you there!

“The only gym I have ever stuck with.”

The only gym I have ever stuck with. I had breast cancer 3 years ago and after treatment I wanted to get strong. Joined PPG and it has changed my life. Since then I have needed a knee replacement (not due to the gym!!!!). My point is. The coaches look after me. They write me (and everyone) bespoke training packages to support my individual training needs and then monitor my progress against that program and tweak where necessary. I am stronger, fitter, leaner, happier and I have to go to the gym because it has become the best family I have ever known and the coaches genuinely care. The only competition in this gym is against yourself and your own targets. The small group coaching sessions enable me to feel heard and validated and the love and laughter keep me genuinely engaged. PPG - I cannot thank you enough!

“If you're nervous about joining a gym like I was, this is the perfect place to start.”

I'd never stepped foot in a gym before joining Practice Performance Gym, and I was incredibly anxious about getting started. From day one, everyone made me feel so welcome and completely put me at ease. The instructors are genuinely friendly and really care about every member. They always take the time to ask how you're doing, and they've been amazing at helping me work around shoulder and knee pain, making sure I can train safely and confidently. One of the things I love most is the small group sessions, with one instructor for every four members. The level of attention and support you receive is fantastic, and you never feel like just another face in the gym. I would highly recommend Practice Performance Gym to anyone, whatever your age or fitness level. If you're nervous about joining a gym like I was, this is the perfect place to start.

“The 1:4 coach-to-member ratio is, in my opinion, the perfect balance.”

What an amazing gym. It offers everything I had always wanted but could never find in the large, multinational gym chains. Every coach genuinely knows their stuff, is always approachable, and nothing is ever too much trouble. I've been a member for over two years now, and I can both see and feel the results from the structured training programmes. The 1:4 coach-to-member ratio is, in my opinion, the perfect balance. There's always enough support to make sure you're training correctly and progressing safely, without anyone shouting in your face or making the experience uncomfortable. The coaching is built around positive encouragement, expert guidance, and genuine interest in helping you improve. Forget the big screens, endless rows of mirrors, and impersonal gym environments. If you're looking for expert coaching, fantastic sessions, and real results, this is the place to be. A huge thank you to Mike, Simon ("the tash"), Jordan, Jack, Matt, Guy and Will for everything you do. I genuinely can't recommend this place highly enough.

“I cannot thank PPG enough for helping me feel like myself again.”

As a very unfit and very overweight menopausal woman I made the decision to give PPG a go and I have never looked back. I have always felt welcomed and encouraged and it really doesn't matter if there are fitter and stronger people there, it's about your own journey and how much your health and fitness improves, and that everyone supports each other. I cannot thank PPG enough for helping me feel like myself again.

“Over the past three years I have rehabilitated from a serious accident.”

Over the past three years I have rehabilitated from a serious accident and have had 100% expert support and coaching in all aspects. The coaches are phenomenal in offering advice and guidance across all aspects of my training. I would strongly recommend.

“The small groups of 4 are less intimidating and the coaches have always got an eye on you.”

As a gym newbie, from the moment I stepped in I felt comfortable and supported. Each coach is knowledgeable, friendly and pushes you in the right way to get the most out of your session. The small groups of 4 are less intimidating and the coaches have always got an eye on you. They can work around any limitations you may have, be it injury, age or confidence. I honestly cannot recommend this gym enough, if you're on the fence about joining a gym then don't hesitate to give these guys a call.

“They checked in from time to time to see how I was doing, but never in a pushy way.”

The best gym I've ever been to! From day one, all of the coaches have been so welcoming, friendly and supportive. They genuinely care about their members and create such a positive, encouraging atmosphere, no matter your fitness level. I had to take some time out for personal reasons, and the team couldn't have been more understanding. They checked in from time to time to see how I was doing, but never in a pushy way. It just showed they genuinely cared. I'm so glad to be back, and it's reminded me why I love this place so much. If you're looking for a gym with fantastic coaches, a great community and people who truly support you, I couldn't recommend it more!

“Over the years it's really felt like a community rather than just a gym.”

I've been training at Plymouth Performance Gym for the last three years, and I honestly can't recommend it enough. The atmosphere is brilliant. Everyone's friendly and welcoming, and it's a great place to train whether you're just starting out or have been lifting for years. The equipment is always in great condition, the gym is kept clean, and the coaches are genuinely helpful and approachable. It's the kind of place that keeps you motivated to come back, and over the years it's really felt like a community rather than just a gym. If you're looking for a gym in Plymouth with a great vibe and people who actually care, this is the place to be.

“You and your body are treated with respect.”

Great gym. The variety of exercises is great. They are explained really well by the well qualified and personable coaches. You and your body are treated with respect and whilst you can be pushed it is with caution and consideration of injuries or if you are just having a bad day. Stick at it as it is well worth it. A really good group of members who are friendly and supportive. Except me!!!

“I've seen results so much faster than I expected.”

Honestly the best gym I've ever joined! Plymouth Performance Gym at Millfields is incredible. I just turn up and the brilliant trainers push me to be my best. The workouts are tough but so rewarding, and I've seen results so much faster than I expected (physically and mentally!). If you want to feel fitter, stronger, and part of a great community, this is absolutely the place to be!

“Will push you but not beyond your capabilities.”

Friendly, extremely knowledgeable personal trainers. Will push you but not beyond your capabilities. 100% recommend.
