Movement Personal Training - Derby

I’d been running and cycling regularly as a hobby for three years when I began experiencing knee pain and Luke was recommended to me. I had no idea of the cause and after a month of pain I didn’t know whether to rest, persist or give up.

I turned up to the first assessment not entirely convinced but from the off, Luke listened, observed and provided what seemed like reasonable advice (he explained the issue and provided his opinion on how I could manage and improve the pain I was experiencing).

There was no pressured sales pitch and no promises of a miracle cure with any fancy equipment etc. I agreed to follow a tailored plan for a month and return for a review. I wasn’t fixed in the month but there was light so we reviewed the plan and I returned again a month later.

Fast forward two years… I feel so much stronger, I’m far more aware of what I’m physically feeling, I’m pain and injury free and able to enjoy my running and cycling! I continue to see Luke monthly for strength sessions (which we both know I hate!), but I know they’re essential to keep the pain away.

Luke always varies the sessions and has an incredible skill of knowing my threshold - I achieve way more than if I was going it alone but I’ve never felt in danger of being pushed too far or causing further injury. I’ve also picked up loads of tips and advice on how to do purposeful strength work at home without the need for any expensive equipment!

Being a ‘monthly’ customer (who only runs and cycles for a hobby!), must be a pain in the backside for scheduling, but Luke always fits me in and I sense he genuinely cares about his clients health and well-being. What really helps is he also really knows his stuff!

Great facility with knowledgable trainers. Had PT sessions with Luke recently and additional strength training with one of his other clients and really enjoyed both. Informative coach, good at spotting where corrections are required and flexible in his approach depending on client needs. Fun sessions and just the right level of increasing challenge to see improvements. Can recommend Movement and the good quality equipment and training.

I’m at the start of a long journey and have been training with Luke for 3 months now following the birth of my 2nd child. Luke’s knowledge and encouragement focusing on my own personal requirements has been fantastic, he has tailored my training to improve areas of weakness while keeping it fun and interesting. The gym facilities are brilliant, everything you need and more for the 1:1 coaching experience. A real genuine nice guy helping people like me regain my fitness. I’d highly recommend anyone to train with Luke.

I've been a member for just less than a month and I couldn't be more happier with my experience. Unlike a conventional gym setup, this place offers a unique and refreshing approach to fitness. The classes are fantastic, with knowledgeable trainers who make every session enjoyable and effective. The atmosphere is motivating, and I've seen great progress in my fitness journey since joining. Highly recommend this space to anyone looking for something different and engaging!

Rich, Luke and Adam are amazing trainers and I've really enjoyed the classes I've done with them. They are great at getting the best out of you, but in a supportive environment. Definitely no egos here - just a great bunch of people, we always have a laugh when we train, with a fab selection of equipment that help improve your strength and cardio! Definitely recommend their group PT sessions, great if you're just starting out, new to the gym environment (they show you through each exercise and how to use the equipment correctly), or have been training for years and just want a beasting ☺️

I had the pleasure of experiencing both the Movefit and Movestrength fitness classes at Movement Personal Training in Derby and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring that each session is both challenging and enjoyable. The variety of exercises keeps things interesting.

Moreover, I’ve also had the opportunity to work with a personal trainer for tailored 121 sessions, and the results have been outstanding. They are attentive to my specific goals and needs, providing personalized guidance and motivation every step of the way. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, their expertise caters to all levels.

Overall, Movement Personal Training truly lives up to its name by focusing on both movement and strength. I highly recommend their fitness classes and personal training services to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.

Movement classes are a fantastic way to get fit and feel great! The smaller class model allows for professional PT input and guidance in an affordable way. Using muscles you never knew you had, prepare to strengthen and tone the whole body. Designed to allow you to participate at your own fitness level, you will soon see your improvement in both strength and cardio fitness. Super friendly, encouraging and none judgemental atmosphere; highly recommended to get involved

If you had asked me five years ago if I would recommend any kind of fitness/PT I would have laughed at you, and laughed even louder if you’d mentioned a group class. Yet here I am. Training at movement is an excellent way to get fit, and to keep fit. All the trainers are great and really welcoming and friendly, as are the other people who train. The small group set up means that you are more able to get individualised support from a PT. They are also able get to know you really well which helps a lot. The classes suit everyone, no matter what stage you’re at on your journey, and the trainers make everything accessible to everyone (even people like me with two left feet and zero co-ordination). I could not recommend them enough.
