I’ve been a member of Diana’s for several years. I was diagnosed with a critical illness and avoided the gym for a few years out of fear. That then turned into embarrassment as I was not just ill, I was out of shape. Since January this year I have begun a fitness journey and really fallen back in love with the gym. With help and support from Logan who gave me confidence to start lifting weights again and encouragement from the ever amazing Carl I now attend Pump & HITT most Thursday mornings too. Ollie is my weekly PT who has been my rock throughout and helped me in losing 5 stone so far in 2024. I am lifting much heavier weights (safely!), plus I feel confident in what I am doing daily. I also wouldn’t be here without the staff and friends I talk to in the gym everyday

I decided to leave Bannatynes and joined Diana’s when it reopened in January 2012 and immediately knew I’d made the right decision. Diana’s quite rightly known for its friendly atmosphere and brilliant staff. I have always enjoyed sports and keeping fit, jogging or playing badminton before I had a gym membership, but I love joining in with most of the daytime classes. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly and I have made fabulous and supportive friends. We egg each other on to work harder and lift heavier . The gym upstairs is now first class and I love relaxing in the sauna and steam room after aqua aerobics. I would recommend to anyone and especially us ladies of a certain age to keep fit and fabulous for as long as possible!

 I appreciate everyone’s encouragement and acknowledgement of my current achievements. Diana’s has been a sanctuary for me. Giving up my life back home and moving to a new country is a huge task and continual battle of missing home. However, Diana’s allows me to escape and focus on my fitness journey, with the extra aid of such friendly and helpful staff especially Michelle and Jayne on reception always so cheerful and welcoming. Jade for her encouragement, the friendly regular morning gym members, finally my awesome trainer Olly who pushes me, sessions are never boring, and encourages me.  Although I think he thought I lost the plot when I told him I entered to do a Marathon. I like to push myself to keep motivated and stay focused on my overall goals (few more challenges in the pipeline).

I’ve love being a member at Diana’s, going to the gym is such an important part of my week not just physically but also mentally and the environment at Diana’s is second to none. I’ve especially love having PT with Dane (which I’ve had for the last 8 years) Every session brings variety, it’s interesting and I learn so much. I was going to say that sessions are fun, but it doesn’t always feel that way at the time, but they have given me focus to my training and I have achieved things I thought were impossible. Dane has encouraged me to believe in myself, he probably believes in me more than I do! But be warned, Dane has the uncanny ability to forget counting during your set, resulting in a set of 20 reps, suddenly turning into a set of 25!  Thankyou to Dane and the amazing team at Diana’s for making my journey so special!

Since joining Diana’s I’ve had nothing but fun ! The trainers all have great fun along with legendary gym skills. Whether your up in the gym or attending classes they are always encouraging. From personal experience they really do listen to what you say and take it all on board. Following my full knee replacement  unable to kneel or participate in class fully, the trainers adapted class moves to suit me.  So never give up, always push yourself whatever your ailments, says the old bird with kidney disease and a heart condition.

 I would like to extend a special thank you to my PT for his invaluable support in getting me started on my fitness journey, his guidance and encouragement was so, so important. I would also like to express a massive thank you to Jade and Dane for their unwavering support and dedication to me as my trainers.

I would also like to acknowledge the entire Diana’s staff for their continuous support and assistance. Your commitment to providing a welcoming and motivating environment is second to none and it plays a huge part in mine and so many other peoples journey.

I have been a member of Club Di for over 20 years, I am most definitely part of the furniture. The staff are utterly fabulous and I couldn’t think of anywhere else l’d rather go to train – it’s not like training, you are just having fun with friends whilst wearing gym gear and having a major sweat on!

I do like a bit of running and at the wonderful age of nearly 52 I’m still pretty good at it, however I don’t take it for granted and realise how lucky I am to be able to still train as I do. And it’s not all about the run, I participate in classes such as HIIT, Pump and Cycle I also access the pool which all enhance and develop my training, incorporating strength and conditioning thus benefiting my running!

Don’t panic people, l’m not a health freak, I LOVE my food and adult drinks just as much as I love running and training at Club Di – a happy medium is my motto! 

Vivek Patel

 I first joined Diana’s in 2020 after my local gym closed due to the pandemic. At that time, I was falling in and out of working out and gradually the weight piled on. 

I have since started working with Olly for over 18 months, and have learned that you don’t need to lift personal records every week. It comes with gradually improving your technique, improving strength through lifting ligher weights but increasing intensity. Most importantly, consistency is key. Since working with Olly, I have now found consistency in my training and you often see me working early mornings. 

Going to the gym has given me confidence to sign up to a couple of Hyrox races, something which i thought I was never able do. Now I work alongside Miri to focus on my Hyrox fitness as well Olly to maintain my strength.

Jo Savage; Wellingborough Homes

I just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive THANK YOU to you and your team for making the Wellingborough Homes 10th Birthday Party run as smoothly as it did. This was a big occasion for us with staff and partners and guests including the Mayor and Mayoress attending. From the planning stages where we were quite specific about our needs right the way through to the actual evening its self and indeed the clearing up the next day nothing was too much trouble. The room looked beautiful, the food was great, the bar staff and waiters friendly and quick and the disco spot on for the event.

There was a real buzz in the office the next day and I have had loads of thank you emails from guests saying how good the evening was-so thank you to you and your team for your role in making that happen.

Elaine Taylor

I really can’t recommend the personal training sessions at Diana’s highly enough. They are fun, challenging and highly effective. I usually can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks to the masses of help I get from all the staff here, I am the lightest weight I have been in over 20 years and I am the fittest and healthiest I’ve ever been, Thank you so much

Fiona Call

Tom has been my personal trainer for over 5 years, and in that time, my level of fitness has increased massively. Its easier to hide in a class situation and not work hard when you’re not being watched! Personal Training doesn’t allow you to do that!

Tom knows me really well. He will never let me wimp out and always encourages me to improve myself. He’s known me in good times and not so good times, but always knows where I am physically and pitches the pace appropriately.

Last year, I decided that I wanted to start running. Unbelievably, he’s got me there. He got me from collapsing at the side of the road begging for mercy, to running 10k confidently.

Whatever’s going on in my week, I always fit my PT session in. I feel really lucky that Tom’s my Personal Trainer and can’t believe what he’s helped me to achieve

Emma Stills

I first started doing HIIT classes with Miri about 2 years ago. Since then I’ve lost 2 stone. Just over a year ago I started doing PT sessions with him and I have become much stronger. My sessions with him are hard and during the whole 30 minutes I hate him and he is my least favourite person! But when it’s over I know that he has pushed me to help me get the best out of myself.

He helps keep me on track with what I eat too and when I’m not so good he makes sure I know about it!!! But honestly, without him, I wouldn’t be anywhere near as strong or as healthy as I am now.

Claire Turnell

Myself and my daughter have been having personal training with Dominica for approx 6 months. I find her sessions challenging but at the same time they are enjoyable and I actually look forward to the next session! After discussing what I’d like to achieve she sets varied tasks to maximise results.

She is very knowledgeable and professional and is also fun and engaging – clearly loves her job. A credit to Diana’s as far as I am concerned.

Dean Roberts

Through Tamsin’ s help , have lost 2st and got to a higher level of fitness than I have been able to achieve before. I am entering the Wolf Run next year and with Tamsin, I am confident I will easily be able to complete it.

Gesa Beales

Just a quick message to thank you, your team and the caterers, once again, for a very enjoyable evening. Several of my choir members told me how much they enjoyed the food and how they hadn’t known what a pleasant venue was hidden upstairs, at Diana’s health & Fitness, tucked in behind the Locomotive pub. I am sure that some will keep you in mind for their own occasions.

Boz & Tony

Thank you to you all for your help in making the eve of our 40th Wedding Anniversary so care free, special and memorable. Throughout the booking, organising and the evening itself we found you and your staff obliging, friendly and very helpful.

Gwyn Roberts

Can I please take this opportunity to thank you again for the use of The Lounge yesterday for our Awards Event. Not only were you, your colleagues and the venue brilliant but we have received excellent feedback from the professionals and carers alike who attended. We could not have arranged such a successful event without your help which is greatly appreciated.

Linda & Russ Goode & Family

A huge thank you for all you did for John & Sheralees wedding reception. The final look was beautiful and amazing. Thank you for the care you took in everything to ensure we all had a lovely time. The compliments have been flowing as to what a great place The Lounge is. Keep up the good work! xx

Anna Rice

I was a member of another local gym but decided to take a look at Dianas following good feedback that I had heard from their customers.

I made an appointment to take a look around the club and was impressed with what I saw so decided to join.

Alex was really helpful. He explained the contract clearly, helped me complete the relevant forms and answered any questions that I had. He explained the payment process and when monies would be collected each month. He made the whole joining experience easy and hassle free for me (someone who hates completing paperwork).

Since joining the club I have found Alex to be really helpful and he always has a smile on his face whatever time of the day it is. If I have any queries he will always ensure that he answers them for me even if it means having to investigate and call me back.

You can see that he takes pride in his work and this is reflected in his outstanding customer service. He is a real credit to Dianas.

Sam Balment

Started a couple of months ago and now there most days. Good gym, nice pool and friendly staff.

Bernice Rose

All the staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Best gym so far.

Groupon User

A nice gym, not too busy that you can’t use all the equipment. I go there and don’t feel that I’m being judged by other gym users or staff which is really nice. I would recommend this gym.

Kelly Anderson

I was really daunted about joining a gym where I didn’t know anyone and feeling awkward and like everyone would be looking at me as I’m not fit at all (yet) but this gym is not like that at all. The staff are all really friendly, the instructors and gym team are amazing!! I feel really comfortable here and have loads of help and tips on how I can reach my goals. Would highly recommend people giving it a try, you will love it!

Katie Fuller

Best gym I’ve been to ever. Lovely, friendly atmosphere, you really feel included and get to know all the staff. You won’t catch me moving gym! New equipment is fab! Can watch TV on the go! Win!

Leanne Knighton

Love, love, love the new equipment. So easy, motivating and will occupy my mind whilst I get moving. Brilliant investment. After 4 years off, I feel confident I can get back on it. Staff were lovely and helpful too. Thank you.

Paulette Gibbons

Great friendly welcoming staff. Equipment maintained to a good standard. Class timetable suits different interest and fitness levels. Diana’s gets a five star rating from me!

Andrew Swettenham

I wanted to drop a line to you to compliment you on the excellent facilities at Diana’s Health & Fitness. The site is always extremely clean and the staff in particular Lucy Bedford very welcoming. Both myself and my fiancé really enjoy visiting the Gym and look forward to the future with you.

Patrick Duke

Joining Diana’s Health and Fitness has been the best thing to happen to me for a long time. I had an accident earlier this year and lost an arm causing me to fall into a state of depression. The staff at Diana’s made me feel like the most important person in the world and turned my life around. They are always friendly and motivate me everyday to keep going. There are always lots of events going on in the club and always something to get involved in which I think is great. No matter what your size, age, ability or fitness levels they all make you feel like part of the family. My confidence has improved no end and I can’t recommend Diana’s Health and Fitness highly enough.

Gill & Chris Thornton

We only use the swimming & spa facilities but it is a real pleasure – warm water, clean surroundings, excellent changing facilities, showers, lockers etc. We love the steam room and sauna. Keep up the good work – wonderful!!

A Diana’s Member

I joined the gym in February 2013 as I needed to lose weight, over the years I had a few memberships at gyms around the county, Virgin, Banatyne’s and the list goes on, but I never really achieved anything at them because I never really felt as if I belong. However since joining Diana’s Health & Fitness, I have felt right at home, I love going to the gym now it’s no longer a chore. Everyone was and still are so welcoming and very encouraging; Trace especially has changed my life I enjoy her Pilates classes so much as I know they are working because since February I have lost a stone in weight. I feel free again, not only do I not look 50 years old I don’t feel it anymore.

Sylvia Honegan

Thank you to everyone at Diana’s Health & Fitness, here’s to me freeing myself from another stone, nothing can stop me now.
