"When I started training at Polaris in the Spring of 2015, ahead of my wedding, I lost a stone and during my most recent spell of training in April this year, I lost another stone, lowered body fat percentage and toned up physically .

The thing i like the best about Polaris is the friendly and welcoming approach to training - both Dave and Juran are highly personable, fun to work with and always very accommodating.

The semi private approach - you don't get the staleness of training in a corporate gym environment, the long wait to use equipment, the show offs admiring themselves in the mirror or any of the other negatives associated with commercial gyms."

""Even in a semi private setting the guys are still very attentive, I feel like I still get 100% attention with my training programmes and direction whilst in the gym.

The best thing about Polaris Fitness is the fact I see clear results and the fact the gym is up beat and not pretentious. Both David and Juran are very knowledgeable and I have learnt so much just from the advice they have given me on nutrition and training."

"Juran put me at ease from the first session and tailored my workouts from the very beginning to help me develop these skills!

Since joining I have noticed visible differences in my body and my overall strength, reducing my body fat but also increasing muscle. Joining has also helped change my attitudes towards food and the importance of this on my improvement.

The best thing about training here is absolutely the support and inclusiveness of the studio for whatever age or goals you have."

"I was worried I might not enjoy it, or might not stick at it, but the trial week helped make my decision a bit easier.

Since working with Juran I have noticed I have lost weight, I feel a lot more motivated and as though I’m in a routine

The app is great, the workouts are easy to follow especially with the videos, and I can send messages after each workout with anything I need help with

I like that there is variety, I’m never bored, I see and feel a difference and I stay motivated."

"Having trained with Dave and Juran I have noticed a massive change to my strength and general fitness levels and clothes that were getting too tight started to fit again!

I love the semi private setting because my programme is specific to me, it changes every 4-6 weeks so I don't get bored and I feel I'm always feel I'm being pushed. Because I tend to train at the same time every day i often train with the same people so we help motivate each other on the tough days!

I can't recommend these guys enough! If you're unsure if this is for you give it a try. They make training fun"

"Just in case you were wondering if Polaris Fitness is limited to 30s proffessionals, I am 61 years young. I have been going to Polaris for just under 2 years and it has become an important part of my life. I am proud to be a member of the Polaris family.

Dave and Juran are extremely professional, they are both highly qualified and watch you like hawks to ensure that you are doing the exercises correctly to maximise benefit and avoid injury.

I suffered from cartilage problems in my right knee, but they worked on strengthening the supporting muscles and it no longer bothers me. As for results, I joined as a size 16 and i am now finding my size 12 cloths loose. I am fitter and better toned than I have been since my 20s. More importantly, the 'boys' really care about their clients and take a genuine interest in you"

"I was a bit worried about training at home as I don't have a lot of equipment and was also worried that all the work I'd done at the gym would be undone. But the workouts have been really good."

"Juran has been so helpful and also replies really quickly if I have a query, so it's been great"

"The workouts are delivered clearly so it's been easy to follow. The band has given me a wider range of exercises. and if I'm unsure of anything, there is usually a video demonstrating it"

"To be honest, I absolutely hate training at home. But the exercises are good and varied considering the limitations of using a band and body weight. And Juran and David have been great and supportive"

"I've trained at home before but don't always say motivated, but I've been more motivated to do it because it's all set out for me to do"

"I trained with both David and Juran for a few months before a medical procedure. My surgeon even noticed the change in me from pre-surgery to surgery day, it was only 3 months apart.

They were both amazing to train with. They listened to what I wanted to gain from the sessions and worked with me to achieve my short term goals."

"I was always quite fit and active before I graduated and started my career.
After that, I used to have a month where I go most days and then a month or two when I did not go at all. Due to very busy work schedule I struggled to keep myself motivated o stick to a regular schedule.

I reached a point where I was really fed up not achieving my fitness goals year after year and was looking to train with someone who could keep me motivated and accountable to a regular schedule.

My goal originally was to loose weight and become fitter and stronger. It was very important to me to get back to the state where I felt like myself again- active, strong and confident.

I probably tried everything- gym, classes, exercising at home, following different plans. Unfortunately something always got in a way to set me back- work, holidays, busy social life. I could not find enough discipline and motivation within myself to stick to it. I also found it hard and time consuming researching exercises to do to change things up as I get bored very easily.
I was motivated but also anxious that I might be trying another thing which won’t work, which of course was not the case!

I enjoy a personalised approach the most- training is tailored to me and it is always changing which keeps it interesting. Studio has a good atmosphere and it is always fun to come in.

I guess like with a lot of young professionals I really struggled to fit exercise into my routine. I struggled making that decision that these are the days I train and I have to prioritise that over anything else. I had to change my mindset completely from doing exercise to lose weight/look certain way or punish myself for that pizza, to realising I am doing this for my health and to feel good. This wasn’t an overnight change for me and took nearly a year of regular exercise to get there.

Sounds simple but sticking to it regularly! I go 3 times every week for over a year and I only miss my sessions if i am away or ill (with a very few exceptions!). I also feel so much stronger and fitter which gives me more confidence in my life.

I feel more focused and empowered. I also have a more positive attitude towards health and fitness.

It takes time and there are no shortcuts for long term goals. It will take time to build good habits that are sustainable but it you stick to it you will find your ways of doing things.

I tried everything and this is the only thing that worked for me.
