Before UR

Alison had been a member of four different gyms in the last ten years. She walked into Unique Results and joined almost on the spot.

What changed

She has worked on strength more in the last year than she ever has, and that strength gave her the confidence to take on a triathlon, something she'd never done before, with the support of the trainers.

Her whole attitude to fitness has changed. She enjoys training now, and sees it as an investment in herself. "At this point in my life I think that's a really good thing to have found."

What makes UR different

The quality of everything: the trainers, the equipment, the immaculate gym, and the variety of classes. "It's a perfect size. It's not overwhelming, it's not really big, but it's not tiny."

“Look at it as an investment in you.”

Alison: I'm Alison, I'm 47 years old and I've been coming to Unique Results for a year and two months. I've been a member of four different gyms in the last 10 years, and I do find Unique Results very unique.

Alison: For me it's about the quality. It's the quality of the trainers and the quality of the equipment. The gym's immaculate. The type and variety of classes. For me, that's the standout: the quality of the whole package. The community is really fun.

Alison: In terms of gains, I've worked on strength a lot more in the last year than I ever have, and that strength has given me the confidence to undertake a triathlon, which I've never done before, with the support of the trainers. And it's fun. I genuinely enjoy the classes and coming to the sessions.

Alison: For me, I see it as an investment in me. My attitude to fitness has really changed, in that I'm training and I'm enjoying training, and at this point in my life I think that's a really good thing to have found.

Alison: I just walked into UR and joined on the spot, almost. I find the community really supportive and encouraging. It's a really good balance of support and fun, but really good quality technical support. So I would encourage anyone who's interested in their strength journey, in fitness and in investing in themselves. Look at it as an investment in you. I've genuinely changed my approach to fitness, because I really enjoy the variety of sessions and the variety of trainers. I haven't found anywhere like it. It's a perfect size. It's not overwhelming, it's not really big, but it's not tiny. There's so much selection, I find the variety really enjoyable.
