EXCELLENT Based on 71 reviews Posted on Google Adam McBurneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really enjoying training at Encore Fitness in Hove. The atmosphere is friendly without feeling intimidating. Alex and Ralf are really helpful (especially when you're carrying an injury) and there’s a good mix of people training there. Definitely a solid local spot to train.Posted on Google Beth RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. honestly cannot recommend Encore enough! Before joining, I had never really exercised and had absolutely no confidence in the gym environment. Since starting small group PT here, everything has changed. The Alex and Ralf are incredible — so knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, they really believe in you. They’ve taught me so much about nutrition, safe lifting techniques and how to train properly, which has completely changed my mindset towards fitness. I’m now stronger than I’ve ever been, both physically and mentally, and I genuinely feel like a whole new woman. What makes this place even more special is the amazing community spirit. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, and it’s become something I genuinely look forward to every week. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m now completely addicted to working out! Thank you for helping me build confidence, strength and a lifestyle I truly enjoy.Posted on Google AmyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It’s fantastic!Posted on Google Ben FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've never liked going to the gym in the past, but since joining Encore Fitness this has changed completely. The team there are amazing as are the members and not only do I enjoy the sessions, but I really feel like I'm making progress too.Posted on Google Tanya BorowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined Encore 4 months ago - and have not looked back ! I’m stronger , fitter , my osteoporosis results reversed ! What Alex and Ralph have created here is a highly professional environment while also making it fun with zero ego …. I love it 👏👏Posted on Google Peter BennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Encore is a very friendly and professional gym offering personal training at a reasonable cost because the sessions are spread out amongst a small group of people . The professional trainers are able to give you 121 support during the sessions and you also get the motivation of being in a small friendly group . It is particularly good for building core strength if you are a bit older , suffered an injury or a gym novice .Posted on Google Cat WilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ll be honest - I never thought strength training would be my thing - I’d always felt a bit intimidated by it. But a friend persuaded me to give it an go & it’s turned out to be exactly what I needed. I’m only 6 weeks in but it’s already made such a difference to how I am feeling. What makes Encore different is the format. It’s small group personal training (max six people), so you get all the attention, tailoring and accountability of PT, but without the intensity or awkwardness I sometimes felt when being in a 121 session. The results have been far more tangible, far more quickly, than I expected. I’ve got noticeably more energy, I’m feeling much stronger, and I’m already doing things physically that I genuinely never thought I’d be able to do. There’s something very motivating about seeing clear progress week by week - there are so little things in life that give you such clear real time feedback. Alex and Ralf a both really know their stuff - they have a.knack of being able to strike the right balance between supporting and challenging each person individually to help them find their edge. I have never felt like they are taking a cookie cutter approach. But perhaps the biggest thing is the atmosphere - it’s genuinely welcoming. It’s full of normal people there to feel stronger, healthier and better in themselves - no peacocking. I almost don’t want to write this review because it’ll make it harder to get booked into sessions… but honestly credit where credit’s due. Encore has been a complete surprise is all the best ways 💪Posted on Google Roxy Rocks-EngelmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just such a fantastic experience. I actually look forward going to the gym. There’s a genuine sense of community and care from Alex & Ralf in how you’re doing and supporting you to progress safely & consistently. It feels so inclusive and welcoming. There aren’t enough stars 🌟 to rate Encore!Posted on Google Tosh JarvisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Note to self: don’t neglect those core muscles! Shout out to Alex. A great session for a Saturday morning, really hit the spot. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and still takes you to your limits 💪Posted on Google Rose WatersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before going to encore, I wasn’t a Gym person Training with Alex for my wedding and fell in love with weightlifting and encore gym . Now couldn’t imagine life without it. It’s like the best thing you’ll ever do. Been here for 11 years and here’s to another amazing 11 years ♥️
