Difference Fitness

Cannot recommend Difference Fitness enough. A breath of literal fresh air for mine and my friends' fitness. Our group sessions with Gil are never the same or boring. Gil keeps it varied, fun and challenging. Absolutely love it!

I have been going to Difference Fitness for almost two years now. I really think it is the first time in my life that l have ever been fit. I go to two group sessions and a personal training session, which is tailored to me and my body, per week.During the summer months, the gym has the ability to open up to the surrounding countryside it gives a wonderful sense of feeling part of nature while exercising .I just can't recommend Difference Fitness highly enough for all ages.

I have been training with Difference Fitness since mid-2021 and it has transformed my life.I went in with one goal, to live longer. I have spent a lot of time working out in gyms, but I have always hit that wall that I could not break though, to then give up. I never considered using a personal trainer, but since working with Difference Fitness I have never felt as strong as I have before in my life, I look better than I ever have and I keep gaining more each session. Easily the best investment I have ever made to myself.I can’t recommend Difference Fitness enough!

Gil is a fantastic trainer. Not only does he know and understand the mechanics of the human body, he makes each training experience interesting and tailored directly to my needs. I have seen my fitness levels change dramatically. I'm fitter now than I was 10 years ago. I had a bout of sciatica and Gil helped me with it because he understood how the sciatic nerve impacts on other parts of the body and incorporated specific and targeted exercises into my programme.

I'm really glad to have found Difference Fitness, after a recommendation from a friend who shared very similar feelings towards exercise as I do, which is avoidant!! I've had gym memberships that have gone unused for months. Of the few visits I made to gyms I always felt clueless, self conscious and easily put off by the soundtrack and atmosphere. Training at Difference Fitness is, well, different! The truly idyllic setting aside, Gil's passion for fitness and knowledge of the body is infectious. I might actually be enjoying exercise, finally.

Difference Fitness is the place to go when you feel it’s time to become intentional about your future overall fitness and wellbeing. Gil is an incredible young man and never ceases to amaze me with his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to encourage and equip others to walk it their potential fitness!

Me and my other half have been training with Gill for the last few months, three times a week. I originally reached out to Gill as I’d seen all of his other brilliant reviews on here and it’s safe to say we mirror these positive opinions and more. We were both very unfit and inexperienced in most areas of fitness, so I was very daunted by the nature of some local gyms. Despite having quite different fitness goals, Gil somehow manages to create sessions that challenge us both individually - but that keep us coming back for more! The range of equipment Gil has is fantastic and he keeps the gym so clean that it all looks brands new. Each session is never the same but Gil will quickly learn your limits and areas for improvement, and is able to dispel a mountain of knowledge in layman's terms - so no exercise ever feels nearly as daunting as you may have envisioned it previously. We’ve not only noticed a difference in our fitness levels and physique, we’re so much more confident in our fitness abilities and our general mental health is great - that’s undoubtedly down to Gil’s approach to fitness. Unlike other fitness fads we’ve been on, we’re being challenged in a supportive environment and not searching for quick wins. We’re really enjoying building our sessions into our weekly routine, and both feel we’ll be training with Gil for the foreseeable future. The setting of the gym makes it even more of an enjoyable experience. I can’t recommend Gil enough, if like us, you really don’t enjoy many forms of exercise, just try a few sessions and I’m confident you’ll be hooked.

Gil has an amazing ability to tune into my physical needs and my mental needs drawing on his professional expertise adjusting my workouts accordingly for each session. I find my time with Gil really rewarding, leaving me feeling energised both inside and out. The one to one focus is perfect for me and he continues to acknowledge progress as he encourages improvement. Great ethics and a wonderful space helping me to connect with myself again. I really look forward to my time in his gym and that’s not something I ever thought I’d hear myself say.

I have trained with Gil during my stay in Cornwall (7 weeks) and this has been one of the highlight of the trip for me.Gil took his time to understand what I wanted to achieve, tested how my body reacted to different type of exercises and was always making sure I would get the most out of each sessions. His overall deep knowledge of exercising and weight lifting is being shared throughout training and even after (he sent me off with a fully fledge personal training plan for when I moved away from Cornwall).I couldn't recommend Gil enough, his positive attitude and absolutely lovely (and fully equipped) gym has put me back on track to get fit!

Staying in Cornwall only for a few short months and finding Gil has meant it's going to be 10x harder to leave. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Working with a personal trainer can sometimes seem daunting - you never know quite what to expect and if the chemistry is off it just won't work but Gil put us at ease from the very first time we spoke. He is professional, knowledgable, always takes the time to explain the science behind each movement and every session has been completely unique. Quite a feat given we've been going three times a week! Somehow he manages to make the sessions gruelling enough to mean we saw real results after only a month but always fun - helped by his awesome sense of humour. He goes out of his way to tailor his approach to individual goals and is always available to answer questions or give advice in between sessions. The gym he's built is absolutely beautiful too; a really unique space among the trees with state of the art equipment. If you're in two minds about whether to give it a go, don't hesitate.
