Andy's moved to a new custom-built gym on Garscube Road and if I could add another star to my…read moreprevious 5-star review then I would. The gym is amazing - there's a wooden deadlift platform at the back and a strip of artificial grass for a Prowler (which is a new bit of gym equipment to me, but one that I really like already) as well as all the usual kit - a couple of rowing machines, kettle bells, dumbbells, bars, racks, benches, all that stuff. He's got several classes a day which are all included in your gym membership - strength training, conditioning, olympic lifting, Ladies Who Lift, strongman training, even two yoga sessions a week. It's a large, open space and it's a really fantastic environment to train in. There are also a couple of new members of staff and everybody is super friendly. The trainers are professional yet a lot of fun and everybody gets along really well - there are no big egos here. They run client days out every few weeks (laser tag, rock climbing, I'm sure they're open to any daft suggestions you have) and it actually feels like you're part of a really friendly gym community. If you're looking for a place to lift some weights, get fit and have a lot of fun at the same time (especially if you're a woman who is thinking of doing more strength training, I can't recommend Ladies Who Lift highly enough), then this is the gym for you.

As promised, here's my review update now that I've finished the 6 week programme with AG Fitness…read more The first few weeks were coached with a strong focus on form and getting movements right, which I really enjoyed. As I'm a little bit out of fitness it was nice to get back into correct squatting position and deadlifts. Then in the second part of the programme we moved into a more full on workout - a 45 minute weightlifting session followed by some high intensive interval cardio sessions on the bike/rowing machine. OUCH. These are seriously a killer after you've already done a workout but they definitely feel like they're working. He'll also give you a programme to do in the house/at the gym for extra training other than seeing him which is great. I really enjoy that Andy takes the time at the start of our sessions to sit down and talk through what we've been eating that week. I'm terrible at keeping a food journal but if you did keep one, he'd look over it for you and suggest small tweeks for improvement. He isn't too focused on weight loss and instead is really encouraging about improvement in terms of form and strength which is really positive - we both leave our sessions feeling pretty damn good (even if we are in a load of pain). For the price (£185 for 6 weeks, 1 session per week for two people), I think it's worth the money. Andy is always on hand for advice (he has suggested that I can text him for food advice if I'm eating out, I haven't taken him up on that yet!) and Graeme & I enjoy getting trained together. The other reason I enjoy it is because (in my mind) it's a non-negotiable date in my diary that I can't get out of, so it's good to keep you going week-on-week. The gym where Andy trains from (Edenfit) is normally pretty quiet - on a Monday night, you're lucky if there's more than 3 other people there. I can't fault the facilities even though they aren't particularly slick or modern - they're functional, and that's what counts. Update as of August 2015: Andy is now temporarily based at a gym in the West End as Edenfit closed down. He's looking at getting his own specialised gym set up soon!

I honestly can't recommend this gym highly enough! It's only wee, but it packs a punch. As well as…read moreboxing, kickboxing, MMA and jui-jitsu classes, they also do personal training, Little Gladiators classes for kids and a bit of outdoor fitness as well. The egotistical/macho behaviour that I've seen at more than one martial arts gym before is very much not tolerated here, so it's great for women, or anyone who might feel a bit intimidated by the idea of walking into a 'fight' gym for the first time. The ladies boxing and kickboxing classes are a great place to start and, because you can take things at a pace that suits you, suitable for all fitness levels. The owners and instructors know what they're talking about, and will keep you right. Classes are usually a good laugh as well, and I appreciate the feeling that I'm getting fitter at the same time as learning what might turn out to be pretty useful new skills, rather than just running on a treadmill in a big glass box. Give it a go!

When I made mistakes he would never make me feel bad and would just run through what had happened later on to make sure I understood. He also gave me a student discount which was very useful. On the day of my test he made me feel very relaxed and confident so I passed first time! I would recommend Really Good to anyone who wants to learn to drive in a comfortable and relaxed setting.
