Fawaze El masri huge shout out to Al’s Gym for creating such an amazing gym culture. A special thanks to Aaron, the owner, and to Courtney, Billy, and Burke all of whom are just fantastic staff members. Al’s Gym is truly the people’s gym. The atmosphere is incredibly positive, with zero toxicity and a real sense of community. Everyone goes out of their way to help each other, and it’s just an awesome place to be. Their motto really says it all: Al’s Gym is the people’s gym.

Tamara Newlands 5 Star Physique truly lives up to its name! From the moment you walk in, youre greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a supportive community than just a gym. The space is immaculately clean, thoughtfully laid out, and surprisingly family-friendly—which can be hard to find in fitness spaces. One of the coolest perks? They’re dog-friendly! Being able to bring our gsp along makes workouts that much more enjoyable and easier for our morning routines! A huge shoutout to Silvia, my personal trainer, who has completely transformed the way I approach fitness. I was always scared to lift heavey and she made me feel capable. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she also has this amazing ability to meet you exactly where you’re at—no pressure, just real support and encouragement. Whether youre a beginner or more advanced, Silvia tailors everything to your needs and goals, and she genuinely cares about your progress. Her energy is so positive and empowering! This gym is a gem. Between the top-notch equipment, friendly members, clean environment, and Silvia’s expert guidance, I honestly can’t recommend 5 Star Physique enough. If youre looking for a place to feel motivated, supported, and part of a real fitness family—this is it.

Maria Alejandra DiazVargas I recently completed my mat and reformer Pilates course with Addicted to Pilates, and it was an amazing experience. Oli, the head instructor, is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, always giving personalised feedback and keeping you motivated every step of the way. I can’t recommend Addicted to Pilates enough for anyone wanting to study Pilates.
