Ian Glass Fitness - Hartlepool’s No1 Personal Training Gym - Hartlepool

I had my 3rd session of personal training with Ian today. I'm a 41yr old female with high functioning autism, this usually affects me socially with anxiety but youde never imagine I'd struggle with that when I'm in the gym doing my workout. Ian is a great guy who is very easy to get along with and could put anyone at ease. The gym is so different than what I've seen of other gyms. It's my first time ever going to a gym,so to have Ian actually present and training me at first is essential for me. I'd never of dared just go and try to figure it out. The whole set up just puts you at ease, it's not intimidating at all. Everyone is so friendly but just doing there own thing. I'm so thankful that I did my research and seen other women's reveiws on Ian glass fitness. It's 100% the right choice for me. I honestly hated exersize before starting this and even though I needed to do it, I did not expect to enjoy it. Now I'm so excited for my next session. I'm absolutely loving it and can't see myself ever stopping. Thank you Ian for a life changing experience

Great Gym, with great people who support and encourage you along the journey. I have been at the gym for just over a year now and the transformation from 1st joining and signing up for PT sessions with Ian to now is life changing. I have lost over 2 stone in weight, fitter, healthier, physically and mentally stronger. If you want to change and become the best version of you and meet like minded people, Ian Glass Fitness is the best place to go.

Met Ian at the end of February as I wasn’t happy how I felt mentally or physically.
Joined the gym and man camp , Ian has guided me and checks up on me weekly , so far on my journey I’m 2 stone lighter, 3 Jean sizes less, I feel so much better mentally and physically.
Never been to a gym where I’ve received so much one to one experience.
Must also mention everyone who attends Ian’s gym, encourages and helps you every step too, like one big family.

Having never been to a gym in my life, I did a lot of research before I took the plunge. I wasn't just looking to lose a bit of weight, but being an older lady, I'd recognised that I was losing strength, balance and fitness.
I visited a number of facilities in the town before deciding that Ian Glass was the way forward. I didn't want some huge, commercial, state of the art gym, where everybody was dressed to kill and there was nobody on hand for help/advice. I wanted somewhere with a more personal touch, where my progress would be monitored, my goals understood and where there would be genuine interest in how I was doing.
All of this, and more, are part of my experience with Ian Glass. He takes a keen interest in everybody who joins his gym and truly wants us all to lead healthier, happier lives. His knowledge and experience are second to none.
It's a friendly place, but people just crack on with working hard to achieve their own goals. Everybody is happy to lend a hand/offer guidance if needed,although Ian is always in attendance too.
I decided to have some personal training with Ian when I started three months ago, just so that I could learn what I needed to do and how to go about it. I'm now 'flying solo' and feel SO much better in myself, both physically and mentally. Ian knows his stuff inside out and it's very obvious that he genuinely cares about his customers.
I'm 100% sure that I made the right choice - I doubt I would have stuck with it if I'd gone anywhere else. Ian ensures that whether you're 15 or 75, you use the equipment correctly, don't overly push yourself and that you get fit /lose fat safely.
I couldn't recommend him and his facility highly enough. He's pretty much a life changer 😊.

This gym is in a league of its own. Awesome old school equipment, totally private and secure for that peace of mind. Ian is always around and provides advice on form and technique. When I have been in other various commercial gyms, the staff just walk past you unless you’re paying them to speak to you. Atmosphere is great, just gives off great vibes and everyone’s there to work. Can’t fault it and wish I’d joined sooner.

I joined Ian Glass Fitness back in February 2024 after trying out other gyms in the town and can would say that this is the one I'll be settling with.
I've found with other gyms that the sole impression I'm giving is that they don't care what you're doing/if you turn up as long as that subscription money is coming in. With Ian I have found the polar opposite; he is interested in your goals/interests, will do demonstrations on how to use equipment properly (in my case several times!) and is generally approachable.
I've personally learnt a lot since starting here and as a result has made me enthusiastic about going to the gym as opposed to approaching it like another chore. This is also helped by the good and welcoming atmosphere brought by the other gym goers.

If you're looking for a gym to join or fed up with the one you're at, I could not recommend this place enough.

I don't usually feel comfortable going to the gym for various reasons. This gym has changed that, I actually like going here and enjoy it. Friendly atmosphere and Ian is very approachable if your not sure on anything. He is very helpful.

I joined Ian's 8wk Man Camp just 2 months before my 59th birthday. I was 330lbs & heading towards a mobility scooter. It wasn't easy, but had made my mind up to restore my health before I turned 60. Even though other guys were younger & fitter than me they too had embarked on their own journeys & couldn't have been more supportive. 3 months later & despite an unforseen setback I'm still almost 50lbs lighter & looking forward to getting back to the gym & building upon the life long transformation I've already enjoyed. Big thank you to Ian & all my gym mates for a truly unique & invaluable mind & body experience
