VICKY LONG
Vicky’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Through hard work, dedication, and consistency, she has lost over 20lbs and completely transformed her lifestyle. More importantly, she is now feeling fitter, healthier, and stronger than ever. One of Vicky’s biggest motivations has been her family. Thanks to her incredible progress, she can now run around […]
Nando Di Matteo
At 90 years young, Nando continues to inspire everyone around him with his energy, dedication, and passion for sport. Born in Italy, Nando moved to the UK in 1964 and began his refereeing journey in 1982. His first formal match took place 44 years ago when Bedford Queens faced Bedford Wanderers — and from that […]
Simon Houghton
Several years ago, I began working in Wellingborough. At the time, I was attending a local gym in the evenings, but I wanted to find somewhere closer to work that offered morning classes. That’s when I discovered Diana’s — and I haven’t looked back since. I still really value the morning classes. They are consistently […]
Diana Bamford – Member of the Year 2025!
WOW, I’m amazed & overwhelmed to be selected for member of the year – thank you so much. I don’t really have a fitness journey, I’ve always enjoyed keeping fit & trying to keep in shape which becomes more & more challenging as we get older!! I first joined what was Club Diana in the […]
Rashawn
Here’s a few words from Rashawn’s Mum: Rashawn’s progress in swimming has been nothing short of remarkable, thanks to the patience, skill, and encouragement of his swimming teacher Hannah, When he first began lessons, Rashawn was hesitant to even step into the water, nervous, unsure, and afraid of letting go of the pool’s edge and […]
Beccie Gregory
I first joined Diana’s in August 2023 after gaining 5 stone during my third pregnancy. I had zero body confidence at all, would always wear baggy clothes and would hide right at the back of the classes in the hope the ground would just swallow me whole. Alongside PTs with Dane, who is honestly one […]
Fiona Stevens
I love being part of the Diana’s fam! I am a self confessed spin addict and absolutely love Carls disgusting classes and fun that Hayley brings to hers. Pushing Dane out of his comfort zone when it comes to running is also one of my fave things at the club!
Shaun Warren
I love the family atmosphere in the club and getting to know the members and staff, making friends and also socialising outside of the club. Future goals are to improve on strength, flexibility and get in better shape, possibly Yoga and Mobility are future classes to try. I just love to mix it up and […]
Rubee Whittaker
Thanks to everyone in the gym, staff and general gym goers for pushing me to my potential and seeing the effort I put in daily only being 16 it’s super hard to commit to the gym but Diana’s really has made me feel welcomed and pushed me to become the best version of me I […]
Sarah Jane Fowler
When I started back at Diana’s last year I would have never imagined I’d be where I am now. Diana’s is more than a gym to me, it’s a great environment which has helped me meet new people & keep my ‘gym’ bestie Kirsty & I in touch. It genuinely is my happy place which […]
