Darren, 62, Bitterne Park
It was about time I did something. I knew I needed to put more focus on my physical fitness to enable me to be there for my family. My experience of gyms in the past was being left to my own devices, not being supported or shown what to do made me want to give up. Focused Personal Training is an environment second to none. The coaching and community is great, I’ve joined teams that go to fitness events which has not only motivated me to reach levels of fitness I never expected to achieve, but created a network of peers around me that makes exercise now something I look forward to.
Fanus
Fanus, 39, Southampton
As a taxi driver there is a lot of sitting in my life. I needed to find a way to balance my lifestyle. I was told by the Doctor if I didn’t make changes I would likely develop Diabetes, I had high Cholesterol and my health was going downhill. After only 6 months a retest has shown a complete turn around. Feeling stronger and fitter gives me confidence you just can’t ‘take a pill’ for. I’ve put the effort in and so have the coaching team here at Focused PT. I should have done this 20 years ago. My life has changed for the better.

Lou, 44, Bitterne Park
I’d always done a lot of cardio for my fitness in the past, but since turning 40 I’d really noticed the aches and pains cropping up in my hips and knees. After gaining some weight over lockdown I wanted to do something about it… but, as it has a tendency to do (as a Mum and running my own business), life just kept getting in the way. Focused PT was instantly different from anything I’ve done before. I didnt expect to become the strongest I’ve ever been. It’s postivley impacted so many areas of my life… I don’t feel so tired and run down any more. There’s such a sense of personal achievement.

Angie, 44, Shirley
After nearly 4 years since stepping into a gym, surgery on both knees, and a baby I was ready to give up on myself… but I decided to give personal training a go. By God, did I hit the right place?! In a matter of weeks training with the FPT team, I’m often in tears and utter shock at the changes I’m experiencing everyday. I love the way my trainers adapt exercises to meet me at my level and implement various techniques to help me achieve what I didn’t think would be possible. The space is vibrant and does not intimidate, there is a sense of community with others who train with you. If you’re looking for motivation, professionalism and fun, FPT has the best package!
Louise
Louise, 36, Southampton
I was significantly heavier and less fit than I am today… I had been told my health insurance came at a premium because of my weight and that was really a trigger for me. I was concerned at first about how fit everyone else was going to be, but everyone was really really welcoming. I never expected to enjoy it in the way I have, my physique is completely different and I actually have muscles now! I now have the opportunity to be one of the more experienced clients in the community that can help those who are new to Focused PT to feel comfortable. The whole ethos and spirit here is really what sets it apart and it’s what people stay for.
Vincent
Vincent, 67, Totton
I was suffering with the effects of long covid. I tried a traditional gym but I wasn’t getting the help I needed, I wasn’t achieving anything. I needed more help, someone to guide me, someone who’d push me to make the progress I was looking for. You get that at Focused PT. The progress that I’ve made in a short space of time is mind blowing. I never would have expected it. I’ve gained strength and mobility, everyone is friendly – like one big happy family. I’d recommend it to anyone, the best thing you can do is take control, come to Focused PT and get the help you need. I’m not walking round like a grumpy old man anymore!

Toby, 48, Bitterne
I knew I wanted to get fitter, but having tried your typical commercial gyms in the past I knew they weren’t for me. Then I found Focused PT. The FPT instructors are first class. I took up their small group personal training transformation programme. The weights falling off, I’m putting on muscle and getting much fitter as well. FPT has been the most effective and enjoyable way to shift the extra timber. The whole community is really friendly and you feel ‘at home’ here really quickly. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Danielle, 26, Totton
I wasn’t happy with myself. I wanted to be healthier. I’ve tried commercial gyms before, but I’m just not the right person for them. I felt self-conscious and intimidated because I doubted myself and my ability and didn’t want to look stupid. I’ve never been sporty, yet the craziest thing is, since joining Focused PT… I love it! I’ve come to the point where I enjoy exercise, I’m excited to see what else I can achieve. I’m so much more confident in many ways, and am stronger physically and mentally. Finding something you enjoy is key. The rest will follow.
