Barry Stephen Personal Training

I joined the gym in January and it is the most welcoming environment for training I have experienced. Barry and the team have created a really positive and motivating ethos. Some PT sessions from Michael have really helped me in focusing on what exercises will help me. I couldn't recommend this place more, great value!

Best gym in Aberdeen! Such a community vibe; the team and gym goers are friendly and helpful. I would also highly recommend Jen for PT, she knows her stuff and takes the time to explain everything.

I switched from another gym, and it was a revelation. Everything is clean, well cared for, changing room and shower pleasantly decorated, the air is fresh and cool, you never have to wait to use a machine. Most of all, you don't join a gym, you join a community that welcomes you warmly, and everyone is there for you if you need help. The classes are incredibly tough, but great fun, and super effective, and the same goes for the personal training (thank you so much, Scott!). At my age, usually the most you can hope for is maintaining your level of fitness, but I have already seen improvement - after less than a month. This gym is incredible, and I am so glad I switched!

I started coming to BSPT boot camps after covid and really enjoyed them. Everyone from the trainers to the members were friendly, welcoming and encouraging. I then started weekly PT sessions with Jen last November as I wanted to build my strength and fitness. Running a business and having kids I’ve always found it difficult to prioritise time for me to focus on my health and fitness. Committing to the PT sessions have been great for me physically and mentally and I notice a huge difference in my core strength and overall well-being. I managed to take part in the Superteams challenge as well which was a huge achievement for me. Thanks to Jen and all the team at BSPT for your support, motivation and encouragement. Highly recommend!

Great gym, really well equipped with investment being made in new bits of kit. Highly recommend Jen for PT and classes with the team that are challenging but suitable for all levels. Really fun, friendly gym.

After using another gym purely for the classes I decided I wanted to get back into weights workouts, I saw Michael was advertising group PT sessions at BSPT so I signed myself up and I’m so glad I did. I loved the first session so much I decided to go from 1 session a week to 2.I can already feel a difference in my strength and also my confidence in the gym. Michael takes the time to go over each exercise and even though it’s a group session you feel like you are getting 1-to-1 coaching on the weight you are using, your form, etc. He also encourages you to challenge yourself to go a bit heavier or complete another rep when you might have previously given up.Every person I have come into contact with at the gym be that the PTs or the other people in my groups have been so friendly and welcoming and the gym definitely has a community spirit feel to it which is unlike any other gym I have been to. I am now excited to workout again!

Excellent gym with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. I joined the gym a few months ago and started working with Jen as a PT, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my fitness. Jen is very patient and encouraging. She takes the time to listen and accommodates to my interests and goals, while motivating me to push myself harder. Would recommend BSPT to anyone.

My name is Lewis and I love the gym. I go to the kids class which takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think it is really good for me to work on my fitness and strength as I play a lot of football. Josh is a great member of staff and helps me a lot in the gym. He also takes the kids class.

Having been a member of several gyms in Aberdeen, Barry’s is completely different in the best way.The sense of community and care is driven by Barry and the team.A great example of this was during lockdown. When indoor gyms were shut, the BSPT team were providing PT’s outdoors in the snow helping others get through tough times - that’s commitment right there!Whether it’s classes or PT’s, Barry always has his clients best interests in mind - explaining technique clearly and being a great motivator. Whenever he sees a new member, he’ll always take time to check in with them and make sure they’re ok too.If you’re looking for a gym that has great kit, knowledgeable PT’s and genuinely nice members - this is the place!

I have been using the gym and PT training with Barry for four years. For anyone who cares about getting fitter but doesn’t know where to start, this is the place to come. Barry and the rest of the PT team are incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I always feel mentally and physically re-charged after a PT session. The gym offers a supportive atmosphere with a good variety of classes and well equipped.
