WHO THIS IS FOR
Who This Is For
Elevation Training Club is not for everyone. It is specifically built for:
- Men and women aged 35 to 55 who want structured coaching, not a building to wander around
- Busy people with full-time jobs and family commitments who need a programme that fits around real life
- People who have tried commercial gyms, felt lost or let down, and want something genuinely different
- Anyone who wants to lose weight, build strength, and feel physically capable again with the guidance of coaches who know what they are doing
If that sounds like you, you are in the right place.
THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE
Why Elevation Training Club is Different From Any Gym You Have Tried Before
We coach. We do not cheerleader.
Every session at Elevation is led by a qualified coach who understands your goals, corrects your movement, and builds your strength progressively. You are not left to figure it out. You are coached through every session.
Small groups. Real attention.
Our 12:1 coaching ratio means your coach knows who you are, where you started, and where you are going. You get the quality of personal training within the cost and energy of a small group.
Built for your stage of life.
We specialise in the over 35s. We understand the demands of a full-time job, a family, and a body that does not bounce back the way it used to. Our programmes are designed around your life, not the other way around.
Results that are documented.
John lost 20kg in 12 weeks. Becky lost 15kg in 8 weeks. Nigel has lost 12.5 stone since joining. These are real members from Portsmouth who came in with real problems and left with real results.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Desr Sean, I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to you, your gym, your coaches, and all the members who have supported me throughout my journey. I am truly committed to my success, and I recognise that I would not be where I am today without all of you. It has been an incredible journey—one that has challenged me, strengthened me, and helped me grow in ways I never imagined. Through injuries and difficult moments, the support and encouragement I’ve received from you and everyone at the gym has meant everything to me. You have all played a vital role in helping me push forward and stay focused. I say this wholeheartedly—if it wasn’t for you, your gym, your staff, and your members, I would not be here today. The experience of training with you has been nothing short of life-changing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Yours sincerely, NigelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reading the owners reply to my partners complaint has actually made me angry. Calling it a STANDARD CLIENT MESSAGE in the instagarm post is the biggest red flag of all. That wording shows this isn’t a ONE OFF or some random joke, it’s normal behaviour at that gym. Something common enough to laugh about and share on social media. That says a lot about the environment you’re running and you’ve created. The response is weak and full of excuses. Saying sorry it caused offence while pointing the finger at a member is not taking responsibility. You chose to post it on your instagram page. If you didn’t agree with it, it wouldn’t have been shared. Simple as that. Saying it was to highlight inappropriate behaviour is just insulting. There was no context, no calling it out, nothing to suggest it wasn’t acceptable. It came across as mocking and dismissive, not educational. Gyms should be safe places for everyone. Elevation Training Club clearly isn’t one of them. And the defensive response after being challenged just confirms that. Absolutely will not be supporting this business, or anything else this person is attached to.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the leap and joined Elevation 6 week programme last year, approaching the big six oh I knew I needed to do something exercise wise! I’m not a gym bunny and fortunately Elevation isn’t just a gym, it’s a great club where you are welcomed by the team and members who support and encourage you all the way, it’s personal training, adaptations are made for any injuries or health issues, I happily joined as a member, going to sessions are a choice not a chore, the coaches encourage and advise, I have made changes to my diet (more protein! Less alcohol!) and I definitely have more energy and able to do a 6am session and feel great for a 12 hour shift after, something I never thought was possible! My strength has improved massively and my shape is changing, I have hip bones again and tiny biceps!!!! Highly recommend Elevation Training Club no matter age or ability.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love training at Elevation Training Club! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping you to improve. The atmosphere is motivating and never intimidating. I have seen huge personal progress both mentally and physically since joining ETC and I actually look forward to my workouts.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elevation changed my life, best decision I have ever made to join, absolutely love this gym, coaches & members.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elevation is the best training club around for long term fitness goals and a great supportive community!! Highly recommendTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best decision I ever made. Have built my confidence in my fitness abilities, and when life gets in the way, the coach team are helping me back to previous fitness levels with guidance, encouragement and compassion, whilst the community creates a safe space and a friendly smile to everyone.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elevation Training Club is a close knit community of like minded people. Sean and his team are first class coaches with a wealth of experience between them. The club caters for everything from weight loss goals, recovery, to competition preparation. The programs are always fresh, interesting and as challenging as you make them. The coaches always have alternative exercises up their sleeves if there is something you’re unable to do for what ever reason. I thoroughly enjoy going, and highly recommend that you give them a try too.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. edit; another dissapointting response. not once in my review did I say me and my husband were members. we were followers on your socials and liked what your gym seemed to be about but that post changed things. You have edited your response on google where you originally apologised and now you are not taking responsibility for your own post. disgusting. Me and my partner was going to join Elevation Training Club but after seeing what the owner chose to share on his Instagram, absolutely not. The post was clearly mocking gay people and what makes it even worse is it wasnt even written by him, it was written by a member and then reposted like it was totally fine. That tells me this kind of attitude is normal there. Gyms should be safe and welcoming places for everyone, not somewhere that shares homophobic stuff and thinks its a joke. This made me feel angry and uncomfortable and I wont be supporting this business at all. I have had to edit the photo attached as google wont let me post it.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
