I love the small group sessions at Intentional Fitness - they are friendly and supportive, with just the right balance of encouragement and accountability—there’s nowhere to hide if you’re slacking, which is exactly what I need! As a woman in my fifties returning to exercise after various injuries, I was nervous at first. But Sam and the other trainers are top of their game. They always make sure your form is spot on, so you feel safe and confident while training. I can’t recommend Intentional Fitness enough!

I had been trying to pluck up the courage to do strength training for years, but from the first introduction call, Sam has held me accountable, and I can now say that I’ve been doing it for two months already! The classes are friendly, supportive and comfortable, and I genuinely cannot believe how much progress I’ve been able to make in a short amount of time. Even in larger classes, Sam is on the ball to make tweaks to exercises to make them more beneficial to you, which has enabled me to be more aware of my body and what I should focus most on. My mind is truly blown at the impact that it has had on my day-to-day life and on the things I enjoy!

Sam is a great fitness coach not only because she has the expertise and the attention to detail that an elite personal trainer needs, but also because she has built a very friendly and supportive community in the gym that makes me look forward to training every time! The other coaches of the gym are also very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive keeping the standards of they gym all around very high! Most importantly, I joined this gym at a time when I was trying to overcome a chronic shoulder injury, which made me nervous about lifting weights etc. Sam created a personised program, adjusting exercises and being very specific about correcting the small movements of every exercise, helping me getting stronger without burdening the shoulder. Four months down the line and I have no more muscle pain - all to say, if you are looking for rehabilitation look no further, this is an excellent team to help you with your injuries!

I have been a member for two months and I have enjoyed every session. I have endometriosis, which can make working out a challenge. Strength training with Sam has helped me gain back strength and confidence which was my main goal. Each session Sam checks in to see how every member is, she has the right amount of support and structure to help you succeed with each exercise, thinking of alternatives if needed that may work best for each persons needs. This is a small independent which runs only small classes - meaning you get a lot of support throughout the whole session. Intentional Fitness is a lovely place, highly recommend!

Sam and her team have built an incredible fitness community where I genuinely feel comfortable and motivated to train. There’s a real sense of accountability once you become a member—something I didn’t fully appreciate until I joined. The small group personal training setup has been especially helpful for me as a beginner. It’s allowed me to improve my technique while still receiving focused attention, similar to a one-on-one session. I also love the boxing classes—they’ve made working out something I actually look forward to. I’m feeling stronger and excited to keep progressing! 💪🏽

5 Stars – Life-Changing Strength Training at Intentional Fitness If you’re like me and scared of the gym, Intentional Fitness will change your mind. Sam has built a friendly, supportive community within it whilst focusing on smart, personalised training and creating real results. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and truly live up to the name, tailoring every workout to individual goals while focusing on proper form and long-term progress. Thanks to their guidance, I’ve built strength, confidence, and a much better understanding of how to train effectively. The attention to detail and constant encouragement make all the difference. I’m loving it! If you’re curious or serious about getting stronger the right way, I’d highly recommend Intentional Fitness.

Have loved working with Sam both in the Boxing classes and Strength classes. Being new to boxing I feel like I have learnt so much already and the strength classes have really helped me improve my form. Highly recommend!

Me and my partner have been going to Sam for couples' PT for a few months now and love it! Sam is really motivating and personalises training for our needs. And a good laugh too! We both feel like we're getting much stronger and meeting our goals, but also having a good time doing it. Thanks, Sam, you're fab! X

When I first started working with Sam a year ago I was lacking strength, general fitness and was plagued by an old injury. From the very beginning she listened and tailored a programme that has not only fixed my injury but has kept me motivated, boosted my confidence and the result is I’m now feeling pretty strong. She is incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly what you’re capable of achieving. The small group sessions work well and the new premises are amazing. I can’t believe I actually enjoy going to the gym!!!

Have been attending Intentional Fitness for a month now and it is great! Fantastic facilities, modern equipment and a brilliant atmosphere. Really enjoying the programme, the encouragement and the effort put in to understand and tailor the workout for your goals. Great stuff from Sam - I’m looking forward to my next workout!
