Training for a number of years previously with Angus
No
For me personally it would my want to come and train at the gym. Not only are the facilities great, it's such a great atmosphere, everyone's friendly and welcoming, making it a very encouraging place.
The facilities and the lay out of the gym. I also really like the extra bits offered, like the online presence that peak have got, videos, tutorials etc.

To improve my physical performance for my sport. (Motorsport)
None
The ability for me to cope with the physical demands during a race have improved a huge amount, I no longer feel fatigued during a race and instead can manage an entire race while concentrating fully on my driving techniques and performance.
How Angus has been able to adapt my personal training plan to suit specific cars I have raced throughout my career. For example when I took on endurance racing we adapted the plan to cope with higher G forces and race lengths of up to 24 hours.

"Definitely find the best thing is the atmosphere"
Anthony Scarborough
Read review
Local gym, seemed to have the best equipment and good vibes out of all the gyms I visited
No
Only visit down on school holidays so this gym membership is for when visiting Bude
Definitely find the best thing is the atmosphere, everyone very friendly and welcoming, only thing i would like is to see a better running machine, the self propelled never seems to work properly, everything else is great and absolutely love it. Look forward to coming down again in a few weeks, you should consider some beach workouts on beach when weather improves
"Peak Performance was recommended to me"
Niall Browne
Read review
I moved to the area and Peak Performance was recommended to me by my nephew.
I'm fairly new to weight training so I was a bit worried about how I'd get on.
I'm getting stronger which has positive knock ons day to day.
There is a great wee community in the early morning strength and conditioning class. I've felt very welcomed. The structure of the classes is changing and the coaching has been great.

"I've lost just over a stone"
Michaela Pocock
Read review
Wanted to love myself again.
Was very nervous being in a gym environment with other people in better shape than me.
I've lost just over a stone, slowly building muscle and feeling stronger and healthier. Also have got my confidence in myself back.
How lovely everyone is, from all the trainers to all the people who train within Peak. The coaches generally care about all of their clients and really work hard to help you achieve your goals. Giving you endless love, support and motivation , a real gym family.

Ongoing ankle injury
Yes because I injure easily
I'm stronger all over and I have learnt that the pain feedback cycle is not strength or function related. There are glimmers of complete recovery.
Keeping me interested and I love my session with Angus. Time will heal and the empathic approach that Angus takes really helps.

"Peak has genuinely transformed my health for the better."
Chris
Read review
The classes looked like a really good mix of cardio and strength and I loved the fact there was such a wide range of kit, especially stuff to hang from and climb :-) (spent too much time climbing trees as a kid!)
It's always a bit intimidating joining classes at first, especially when I hadn't done much barbell work, but the coaches and members were so incredibly friendly that it soon felt like home
Peak has genuinely transformed my health for the better. I used to go to a gym occasionally to do a bit of upper body training and never had the motivation to train legs or do any sort of cardio. But going regularly to morning sessions with a great mix of strength, whole body movements and endurance has made me stronger and fitter than I have been for years and in a more balanced and functional way. I also love the fact I push myself so much harder in the classes than I would ever do by myself. Also, when I first tried barbell work at another gym I hated it and gave up but I'm really enjoying it at the moment with the great coaching and support.
The standard of coaching is exceptional. Firstly just the pure depth of knowledge they have, the awesome programming and the mix of different class types. The zone training works brilliantly for functional fitness and is always nicely varied to make it fun (in a sadistic way:) and challenging. And secondly the passion all the coaches have for helping people. Even when I'm training by myself if they spot an improvement I can make in technique they will come over to help, I'm truly grateful for that and more than any other gym I've ever been to feel that they all genuinely care. It's also been great to see the range of kit be kept up to date and expand, there is everything anyone could ever need there now!
"The community and the trainers at Peak are exactly what I was looking for."

Complimenting my running and helping me stay strong and injury-free through peri-menopause.
YES! I have always thought lifting or weight training wasn't for me and felt intimidated in most other gyms I'd started in BUT the Strength & Power sessions suit my needs and the community and the trainers at Peak are exactly what I was looking for and needed.
General feeling of well-being and I feel safe in the knowledge that I'm not damaging my body as has happened in the past at other gyms. I've felt broken after some sessions with other PT's that have really impacted my running but with Peak Training, I've found it really complements my run training.
The level of expertise, the training and the wonderful social aspect of the sessions... oh and my Peak notebook 😆 I hate missing a session now!
"Great at personalising the training to each member of the session."

To work on conditioning to help me get better at the sports I was already doing and improve strength.
I've never been a gym person and would rather be outside!
I feel fitter all round.
All the coach's really know what they're doing and are experts in their field. Every session is clearly thought about, each exercise links and has a specific reason and goal. The coaches are all also friendly, approachable and encouraging and great at personalising the training to each member of the session.

Loads. Lost weight, my body is leaner and my fitness has increased.

I was looking to increase my surf fitness.
I was nervous of what other people might think, but quickly realised no one here is judging and there is a great friendly community feel in this gym.
I've got physically stronger, more confident in my body and talking to new people, and my head always feel good and clear after a good session.
I love how much space there is inside the gym with the high ceiling, it never has that stuffy claustrophobic feel I find many gyms have. There is space for everyone. I also really like the social aspect of the gym, I've had a lot of laughs here such as Warren's weekly wonder. I also feel very confident in the wide range of equipment as it's safe and of high quality.

To build and maintain strength for everyday living.
Yes, I was unsure whether I would find the type of environment that would suit me.
General strength and endurance has improved massively without over exercising or having to push myself too much.
The coaching team are great, and the gym as a whole has a fantastic focus on well-being rather than just fitness for fitness sake.
"Ideal when trying to safely recover from injury but keep training."

I was struggling with my shoulders due to scapula dyskinesia and wanted to retrain my shoulder muscles to help me be stronger and reduce pain. I also wanted to improve my general strength and fitness to help with my horse riding. I have some physical issues that make it hard to join big classes as can't do all of it, so wanted to look at one to one training to help me.
I was a bit worried I would not be good enough to do some of the stuff, and would feel uncomfortable in a gym situation. It's very small and friendly and welcoming so I didn't need to worry.
I have definitely noticed a real improvement in my shoulder pain, I am stronger and moving more correctly. I now have much more active muscles in my back and other areas of my shoulder, so my very painful traps have calmed down significantly. I have also improved in general strength all round, despite having a major set back due to horse related injury, and lots of mini set backs due to flare ups of my condition. We keep working on the bits that we can, at a pace and intensity I can manage and the improvements are definitely noticeable. I am all stronger in my muscles, which will hopefully reduce the risk of injury as well.
Despite major setbacks (including full leg brace for several months), we have always been able to come up with a constructive plan to keep improving strength and to do something. I like the fact that the personal training is very flexible to fit round your needs and abilities and personal goals. I wouldn't have been to the gym and used weights twice a week on my own, so it's also really good for those people who need a lot of guidance or confidence giving initially. Ideal when trying to safely recover from injury but keep training.

My friend who has managed to build a great physique.
None.
In my short time of three weeks I've started to notice that my arms have gained more muscle and have become more firm. For my chest and back they have become significantly more stronger.
Very solid equipment for the space available, as it isn't a huge warehouse like some other places it's really nice still having all the essentials. Also as it's a smaller gym they cap the amount of booking per hour. Therefore it's never too crowded, which for me I believe is the stand out aspect as I'm able to focus on working out and always feel comfortable which is important to me as I'm new to going to the gym.

My daughter was struggling in a cross country race so I decided to run along side her for support after only a few minutes running I had to drop out as i physically couldn't keep up. My lack of fitness had bothered me for a few years but having three kids and no childcare made it difficult for me to commit to anything. As soon as I saw you did the early morning classes I knew I had no excuse!
I was super nervous and brought along a friend to the first session. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to keep up.
My fitness in general is so much better! The first week I started I struggled to do five sit ups I haven't counted but can do.
I really struggle with co ordination not through lack of trying but my brain can't process to many instructions in one go so I really appreciate the fact that jack breaks it down for me.
