GL52 Fitness

As a keen runner, I was looking for some help to take to me to the next level for an up and coming trail race.I was recommended to contact GL52 Fitness as they have a history of running expertise.After chatting with them I felt they could provide me with the knowledge and training that I required.I signed up for personal training with Ed and my running strength has increased dramatically.As well as the training Ed also created a running plan for me to follow to ensure I was race ready in plenty of time.Additionally to the training side of things Ed - being a very experienced runner himself - helped me with my diet and race prep food and answered many questions about running and how to improve.This all helped me become the most prepared I have ever been for a race and helped me to run quicker and stronger.Highly recommended.

Despite not being a member of the gym James was able to fit me in for a much needed sports massage. He was entirely professional from start to finish and I left in much better shape than when I'd arrived. I will definitely be rebooking.

Five stars for GL52 Fitness! I have zero motivation to go to a gym, figure out how to use the kit and get myself going so attending the Strength and Conditioning classes here are my perfect solution.Classes are a great size meaning Ed and Jack's focus is always on you, refining your technique, encouraging you to push yourself and showing a genuine interest in you and your wellbeing. Members are so friendly, it feels like being part of a family at GL52. Classes are full of laughs, great music and likeminded people, it's never a slog to get myself up at 5.15am to get there for 6am. There are socials too which are great to be a part of, especially if you are new to Cheltenham or are just looking for some lovely people to spend time with!The kit is fantastic, with lots of it to go around during classes and it's clean and organised. A brilliant place to spend time if you're up for committing to get your self strong, both in your body and mindset towards fitness. Thank you Ed for creating such a fantastic place which is so much more than just a gym.

A fantastic gym that places community and fitness at the forefront of its priorities. All the staff are incredibly friendly, making it perfect for those embarking on their exercise journey or seeking a less intimidating experience which you can have at larger establishments. Conversely, if you've been into fitness for a while, they have everything you need for an excellent exercise regimen. 10 / 10

GL52 is a fantastic gym! I have been working here for a few months as a coach and was welcomed with open arms by Ed and the members from the beginning.The facilities are among some of the best I have ever trained in, the location is perfect and the overall community vibe within the gym as a whole is brilliant!Excited to be part of the gym as it grows in 2022.

I walked into GL52 Fitness 3 weeks before Christmas feeling low and in desperate need to get back into my weight training, I was immediately met by Ed the owner and professional PT instructor who quickly motivated me with a PT training plan that consisted of 3 sessions per week. I’ve weight trained for over 20 years but the results Ed has got for me in just 6 weeks has been incredible.

Excellent space, really well equipped and modern with a wide range of class times. The coaches are very welcoming and friendly, as are the members. The classes are tailored to your ability so absolutely suitable for beginners, but all experience is catered for. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for supportive, intuitive and tailored PT sessions - I would highly recommend this gym.Having completed the London Marathon in October 2021, I didn't want to lose the fitness I'd gained from training, nor the mental health benefits from regular exercise - but I did want to cut back on the amount of running I was doing. I decided having some sort of Pt sessions would be the way to go.I'd never been to a gym in my life, so I was feeling a little nervous and intimidated - but I needn't have worried! Ed was brilliant - he took the time to really understand my needs, asking me questions about what I wanted to achieve, what motivated me and what I liked doing. He devised a PT schedule - training 3 times a week, with one session working together.I can honestly say I've been really pleased with my progress so far - and the encouragement and support from Ed and his team has been amazing. It really does feel like a family.Ed has worked with me to push beyond my comfort zone, helping me to achieve so much more than I thought I was capable of - and my training schedule is reviewed regularly to keep things interesting and challenging.The gym itself is superb - excellent range of equipment and space, with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I was struggling to find the motivation to go back to the gym after lockdown, but I made myself go to the trail session at GL52 and I absolutely loved it! My motivation is backEd and the team are professional, encouraging and help perfect your technique. The classes are great but challenging they are adapted for all abilities and any injuries, but no matter how tough you always leave smiling! Keep up the great work GL52!
