AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
I’ve been going to Josh, Dowson Fitness for a few years now and it’s never a chore. Josh’s classes are focused but full of fun. He always adapts to what weight you personally need whilst gently pushing you to improve. Although I’m in my late 50s I never feel intimidated by the younger, stronger participants as everyone is so friendly and inclusive.

Josh’s gym is an amazing community. There is always a positive atmosphere and Josh makes sure that he helps people to individually reach their fitness goals. Each class is different from the previous day and you always leave feeling SO much better than you did when you arrived! The location is great too, no battle for parking etc. Just an all round great place with awesome people!

Great gym with fantastic classes , Josh ensures everyone feels part of the class and sets individual goals for everyone. There is no cruising you are encouraged to work hard and progress but equally he never pushes beyond your limitations . The classes are friendly but focussed - you never feel worse for going - highly recommend even if the music choices and Josh’s chatter can be random
