Target Active Fitness - Tewkesbury

Emma Clarke

I’ve been a member of Target for a number of years now, I love it!
James, Dan, Joey and Connie are a credit to themselves and what makes Target, Target! (Well and the glitter, unicorns, bants and Target parties)
They offer a great range of classes, nutrition plans and PT sessions suitable for all and the studios we workout in are all set up to accommodate social distancing and each station has its own sanitation basket for before and after you have worked out. To be honest I bet the gym is cleaner than my own house!! Feel totally safe knowing they do their best to keep the doors open and their member safe during this pandemic.
I’m loving the 6.30am spin every morning which is brilliant to get in and get that sweat on before my children have even woke up!
Keep up the great work Team Target

Target Active Fitness is friendly and fun place to train. I think you would be extremely hard pushed to find another gym where everyone is so friendly. There is no competition between people and everyone celebrates each other successes and achievements. There is no macho mentality and for me as a female I feel so at home training here.

I have been training with Dan for many many years now, and has completely transformed me from somebody who wouldn't even set foot in a gym to somebody who can't wait for this weeks workout. Dan even helped me to complete two 10k run, running one with me, but sadly no more running for me. When I first trained I was a wall flower! dark clothing, very little confidence, self esteem and wouldn’t even walk into the gym without knowing who was in there. Now, like I say, I love it and it’s almost like a second home!

In recent years with injuries, the team and fellow gym goers have been so supportive and helpful on the road to recovery and getting me back to my weekly PT session and doing what I love.

Please do not hesitate to use this gym. Dan, James, Joey and Connie are all great people. Over the recent months with the covid pandemic, they have worked their socks off to ensure the gym community could continue to keep fit in many different ways including online classes as well as still offering group classes. The gym itself is spotless. The equipment and rooms are throughly cleaned after every use and processes are in place to ensure everyone is safe and can train in an environment where any risks are very significant reduced.

I now consider Dan not only my trainer, but now a great friend who I know I can ask for advice when it's needed. He always gives me the confidence boost that I need every now and again. My fitness levels have grown so much training here, and I have so much fun. Banter is a must, but just helps you feel more at home and comfortable.
I have achieved so much more than I ever imagined with your help. Who knew just what I was able to do. With all your encouragement, support and advice, friendly banter and lots of laughter along the way It’s been a total blast.

Here’s to much much more to come - JB x

Such a welcoming atmosphere. I wasn’t a natural gym bunny but since going to Target Active I haven’t looked back. Lots and lots of support and they have gone above and beyond during the Covid pandemic. Classes were available online during lockdown and all my PT sessions too. Since we’ve come out of lockdown the cleaning regime and guidelines are amazing. I think I feel safer there than at home! Keep it up guys. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

I highly recommend Target Active, and in particular James. I started PT with James in preparation for my wedding, and I have gone from being very uncomfortable in the gym to attending classes and working out almost every day! Their response to COVID-19 has been amazing, their cleanliness is second to none. I feel very comfortable and have been very impressed with the measures they have put in place. They have a great range of classes before and after work and a great range of equipment.

I’ve been a member of Target for a number of years. It’s very well run by Dan and James. They work us to the best of our abilities in the fitness classes whilst maintaining an informal atmosphere. It’s a very friendly place – we’re like a ‘family’.
Dan and James are doing an amazing job to keep us all safe since re-opening after lockdown. The place is kept so very clean. We keep our distance during classes and they provide antibacterial cleaning items for each work area. I can’t praise them enough. Thanks guys for keeping us fit and safe.

Having been injured playing Rugby 4 years ago and undergoing an operation at the beginning of the year, I found it very hard to find a suitable exercise plan that didn't aggravate the injury and that was also enjoyable. As a result, I was at my heaviest ever when I spoke to Dan to arrange some sessions.

From the first session, I could feel not only my body, but also my perception of training changing and found myself enjoying the sessions that Dan custom made around my needs, which was a huge achievement in itself as I had become very anti-exercise in the 4 years since stopping playing Rugby!

As a huge bonus, Dan looked closely at my diet which, with only a few small tweaks and pointers, massively improved my energy levels, whilst eating more food than ever before!

Having had personal training sessions with other trainers before, I would recommend Dan very highly as the sessions are built completely around the client and in no way generic sessions that everyone has to endure!

Thanks Dan!

I have been working with Dan during lockdown 3. I was struggling to make the times of zoom workouts with my regular gym, so Dan put together a bespoke plan for me to work through each day at a time that suited me. I have 30/45 min varied workouts set each day which utilises the limited equipment I have at home, alongside body weight movements. There are explainer videos within the plan to show me how to perform each move if I’m unsure. Dan also set me some nutrition goals to maintain my weight. My fitness has increased and with the nutrition accountability, I have dropped body fat and know how to maintain it. I would never have achieved this without his help and support. Highly recommend. He knows what he’s talking about and it’s great value for money!!

Huge thanks to Dan last Christmas, following a 6 week programme my Hubby is much fitter, has more energy and knows so much more about exercise and diet. He couldn't have done it on his own, so well done Dan!

I have been coming to Dan's weekly 'bootcamp' sessions - at first very nervous, but I quickly made progress and am faster, fitter and stronger. I don't enjoy 'group' exercise usually, but this is such fun and a great workout come rain or shine! Thanks Dan - can't recommend highly enough!
