I normally loathe gyms and get bored very easily but This is Fitness is very different. The coach led sessions of small groups help to make each session different and fun. The exercises are tailored to the ability of each person and they are very mindful of my multiple joint problems. The coaches are knowledgeable, fun, lively and overall just a great bunch!

I’d strongly recommend TIF Stafford as a fantastic environment for anyone wanting support to reach their fitness goals. It’s a fun and friendly environment, where the small Personal Training groups and classes are run by brilliant coaches who provide fully supported sessions, which can be tailored to address any injuries. I love it!

Found this company by chance on Facebook and the best thing I've ever done signing up for the 30 day trial. The team are very professional and knowledgeable with care given to the training depending on injuries and fitness. All ages there and fun, friendly atmosphere. Just joined as full member and would highly recommend 👌

As a lady in her 40’s who has never been to the gym and dreaded any form of exercise, I am so happy I have discovered This is Fitness, Stafford. I was terrified walking in for the first time but whether you’re a total beginner or experienced gym goer, you are made to feel so welcome and comfortable, everything is tailored for you. If you’d have told me 5 weeks ago that I’d be in the gym at 6am on a Monday Morning I would’ve laughed, but it’s happening and I’m loving every second, thanks to the support, experience, encouragement and fabulousness of all the coaches. I would recommend this gym to anyone in Stafford who is wanting to get fit and have fun, it is worth every penny x

I have been a member at TIF for the past three months and it is hands down the best gym I've ever been to (and I have tried them all, from your bog standard 24 hour gyms to Crossfit). The team are so helpful and welcoming and really attentive to each member. I only wish I had found them sooner!

2023-12-13T11:56:17.000Z

This gym is amazing. There is no other place like it. You are always greeted with a friendly welcome. Every session is different. The small groups mean each person gets individual attention from the trainers while making friends with other members. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. Safety is taken seriously. I just need to turn up, and I am shown what to do and how to do it. I feel that I am encouraged to do my best every session and I am given praise for every achievement, whether tiny or great. I love coming here, the trainers are first class and the members are fantastic too.

2023-12-11T10:41:27.000Z

I have always enjoyed and regularly played sports but had often struggled with finding a gym that suited me or made me feel comfortable. I joined TiF in June 2023 and the ensuing months have been challenging but supremely enjoyable. Not once have I felt self conscious or judged and the advice and support from the PTs have led to a huge improvement in my fitness and body shape. I now live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle with every session being unique and challenging. I’ve found Liam, Hayley and the Tif team truly care about each member that walks through their door and I’m very grateful for their unwavering support. It is a unique and wonderful place to get fit and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

2023-12-09T19:08:37.000Z

This Is Fitness is truly a five star gem, with its inclusive and welcoming environment for people of all ages and fitness levels. TIF offers a family like atmosphere where everybody goes the extra mile to motivate and support each other in achieving their fitness goals. The personal attention from the trainers ensures tailored workouts and genuine progress. TIF is not just a place to work out, it's a community that feels like home.

2022-12-18T13:30:17.000Z

they now open on Sunday, amazing training , classes the only place to be

2022-11-19T18:18:33.000Z

This is Fitness is a gym that welcomes you in! The coaches make training enjoyable and fun whilst helping you to hit personal goals. Can’t recommend this gym enough!!

2022-03-03T19:13:30.000Z

The personal trainers are like family, they look after you so well and help you get to where you want to be in you physical health, I’m so glad I joined and people have noticed how much slimmer I am.. so winner winner

2021-12-02T19:18:34.000Z

What a community - so much more than "just a gym" - the coaches all make you feel extra special and they make sure you're on the right track to getting fitter and stronger. Their knowledge and advice is unquestionable, and they are always on hand to give you a pick-me-up if you're struggling. I wholeheartedly recommend TiF as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle! 😃

2020-10-17T07:53:33.000Z

TIF for me is the ultimate gym experience it is professional and a brilliant environment in which to train . Possibly not the youngest at TiF but in my seventies my week looks like this Golf 2-3 times a week Gym (TIF) 2-3 times a week Run at least twice a week including Park Runs most Saturdays. I’m halfway around the Welsh Coastal Path having walked 430 of the 870-mile coastline What has TIF taught me. Nothing is out of reach. Does your gym back you in your activities mine knows exactly what I do and gears my training to optimise my results My TIF journey, now 6 years on, has given me confidence and the ability to still achieve when many others in my age group lead a much quieter sedentary life. If that is not for you, you should give them a try. So, as I get older instead of losing my mobility muscle mass and cardio ability, I can still achieve the results I want.

2020-10-08T21:41:55.000Z

I've only been a member of This Is Fitness for around 10 months now, and I've gone from doing zero exercise and hating the thought of every doing any, to genuinely enjoying it and reaping the benefits of doing so. None of this would have been possible without the utterly amazing staff and trainers at This Is Fitness - there aren't enough words or stars to explain how brilliant they are, and how much of a difference they make to people's lives on a daily basis. I couldn't recommend them more if I tried!

2020-10-01T21:30:47.000Z

I joined TiF in January 2020 to try the 4 week trial, and I'm still going every week! (I don't do gyms 🤣) The support, advice and community is second to none. Every PT knows your name, sessions are adapted to accommodate any issues and all achievements are celebrated. I feel, fitter, stronger & make much healthier food choices - I would highly recommend TiF!!

2020-10-01T16:44:32.000Z

I've been a member at TIF Stafford for 10 months now and I can honestly say that my TIF journey has been life-changing - only in a positive way. I joined TIF following a hip injury which impacted my ability to exercise and move about properly in my daily life. Due to this, I had gained weight so my main motivation to join was that I needed to lose a decent amount of weight. I was looking for a gym that would enable me to do that but also teach me the "right movements" to prevent further injury. TIF altered my sessions to suit my fitness level and ability to move. Within a few weeks my pain in lower back and hip eased off and eventually completely disappeared.This is when my quality of life improved massively and the intensity of my training has increased lots since! I love every single session. The coaches all go above and beyond to help, they continue to push you and offer all the guidance - may it be in respect of training, diet or endurance - all you need to do is to take their advice, turn up and have fun. The community is great and full of like-minded people who are working towards their own fitness goals. I am not from the area so didn't know a lot of people to hang out with but this has now changed as I have formed new friendships at TIF. There are regular social (and socially distanced) sports events where you can work out together. You can do as much or as little as you wish, there is not "force" that makes you interact or train with people, it just happens naturally because people are cool! :) With regard to the COVID-19 safety measures, there are plenty of hand washing and sanitising stations located throughout the building and the sessions are small group sessions only. You have your own "safety zone" that you work out in. Don't worry it's not like any sort of cage, it's basically a designated area within the gym that is just "yours" for the session that you can work out in. Equipment is sanitised before and after each session as well as multiple times throughout - basically every time somebody has to touch the equipment. I have never felt healthier or stronger than now and it's because TIF's health concept works. If you are looking to change your lifestyle, get rid of bad habits and find the fun in exercise, then this gym is for you! :)

2020-09-30T19:42:09.000Z

I would absolutely recommend This is Fitness to anyone who's looking to get fit and feel better. It's definitely not just a gym. The most important factor for me is the welcoming friendly atmosphere. As someone who's been very intimidated and frankly scared of gyms and classes in the past I was apprehensive when I signed up, but I've never felt more comfortable or like I belong in any other gym. Nothings too much trouble and the staff really are there to support you and make you feel your best. 👍

2020-09-30T19:30:31.000Z

Feels like a family. All the PT instructors take the time to get to know you, your goals and magically get to know whether you need praise, encouragement and understand how to get you to get closer to your fitness goals. Fantastic fitness and nutritional advice!

2020-09-30T12:11:26.000Z

2 years of fun hard at times never boring each session different coaches work with my dodgy knees, recently brocken wrist and sometimes my lack of enthusiasm a family atmosphere so supportive in lock down mental and physical well being improved

2020-09-30T09:33:36.000Z

I can't recommend TIF highly enough. I joined in January this year and it has been the most amazing journey of my life. The TIF community is the best, both the team and the members. I was so nervous when I joined but I was made to feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. Not only has my physical health improved immeasurably but also my mental health. The support given by everyone has helped me to lose 2 stone, to get fitter and stronger and to start running. If you join TIF it will be the best decision you ever made.

2020-09-30T08:51:08.000Z

Joining TIF back in June 2020, I was pretty nervous to join an already strong community. I knew that I wanted to lose fat and build muscle, thus changing my lower body shape, and once I allowed the PT instructors into that insecurity of mine, my entire motivation and lack-lustre changed! TIF members and staff are absolutely inspiring. They encourage hard work, hard play and hard rest!! If I were to give any advice to somebody who's thinking about joining This Is Fitness, I'd say take a deep breath and just do it. You won't regret it! The support network and sense of family community is incredible; something you won't find at any other gym. Yes we have to work hard for ourselves, but when you're doing it for your TIF team as well it's much easier to stick to that consistency that leads to success :)

2020-05-12T20:53:39.000Z

It's so much more than just a gym, it's a family and they treat you like family. The members are fabulous and willing to help involve you. Encouragement, inspiration and motivation comes from everyone. The TIF team go above and beyond in normal times and now in these strange times have gone further than any other gym in looking after the members and keeping us entertained too. TIF YOU SIMPLY EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS . Thankyou💣💥💪

2020-02-17T05:53:16.000Z

Personal, friendly knowledgeable staff that keep you accountable and motivated.

2020-01-31T15:57:31.000Z

I've never been in a gym before and I'm the wrong side of 60, I can't believe how unfit and weak I am. I've just completed 3 weeks of training and have found it very challanging, without the support of all the trainers I would have given up and gone home, but I have to admit that I feel so.much better than when I started and although exhausted after each session I can't wait to go back. This has been the best decision I've made for years. thank you to all the trainers for your support.

2019-09-30T10:23:32.000Z

This Is Fitness (TIF), except You’re not really just fitness at all are you? You’re so much more. Having not exercised for more years than I care to admit, & having tried my hand at lots of different types, I knew that I was ready to find a PT who could whip me in to shape. When I googled PT’s in Stafford you guys came up, so I checked out your website & haven’t looked any further. Your website comes across as friendly, welcoming, informative & open to all ages & abilities, everything that you are in real life too. You’re all brilliant; PTs and members alike. Welcoming, friendly, knowledgable, know when to push us, absolutely brilliant at accommodating an injury and so blooming friendly.

2019-09-23T18:53:11.000Z

I joined TIF in June after moving back to Stafford. It really is the most amazing place to set out or restart on your fitness journey, like I was doing after experiencing an injury. The whole ethos of TIF is around building a strong foundation, focusing on the essentials and getting lots of encouragement along the way. The atmosphere is welcoming and there is an amazing sense of community - unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The team really motivate and importantly encourage you to do your best. If you’re looking for somewhere you will feel welcome, motivated and challenged then TIF is definitely the place for you.

2019-09-19T10:14:33.000Z

This Is Fitness (TIF) is the best gym I’ve ever trained at from start to finish. You instantly feel a member as soon as you start with all the friendly welcoming personal trainers (PT) explaining what is on offer for you to take advantage of. All the PTs remember your name from your very first session which makes you get a feeling of belonging and invites you to continue to book sessions. Booking sessions at the gym could not be easier. Everything you need is in a user friendly app where you can book the small group personal training sessions, classes and check ins. All the PTs are happy to help if you have any questions on the app too. I have enjoyed the small group training greatly and feel it’s the most effective way of achieving my goals. You get the expertise of the personnel trainers that plan out sessions and alter them to suit the individual needs and abilities, as well as the competitiveness from other members pushing each other to work harder. TIF puts on classes such as fusion and build which gives more variety to training keeping you interested, focused and committed. Being a member at TIF also gains you access to a myzone belt that tracks your heart rate. This pushes you to keep working hard during sessions. All the data is recorded on another easy accessible app where you can see other members workouts too. Along with all the small group PTs, classes, apps and myzone belts, to help you achieve your goals, the PTs put on weekly coaches challenges. These vary immensely so you never know what to expect some are more for fun and others are more challenging either way everyone is welcome to engage with them. To see your results and give yourself a little credit for all the graft you’ve put in you can book a check in. Check ins are a brilliant way to stay motivated. You can use the body scanner which will tell you everything you need to know about your body and helps to set your next goal. Check ins are the perfect time to have conversations about how your training is going, nutrition and lifestyle. Overall this gym and the staff there will help you make your goals become reality in an all welcoming, varied, challenging and exciting fashion however, you have to put the work in :) With all the above and with all the fantastic members it’s next to impossible not to keep booking sessions. Get involved!
