Lodestone Health & Performance

Fantastic experience: Been going to Lodestone since April and I'm really happy with how things have gone. The lads are very knowledgeable, motivating and sound on top of it. There's a great atmosphere in the gym; friendly and relaxed. I'd highly recommend choosing Lodestone as your gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a Lodestone member for the past year. Francis and Conor are both very patient and will immediately put you at ease if you’re nervous or anxious about the gym or fitness. They tailor each workout to suit individual abilities, which makes a huge difference in confidence and progress. There’s a lovely sense of community to Lodestone - everybody is friendly and supportive, all while working towards their own unique goals. It’s a motivating and welcoming environment and I look forward to each session.

Fantastic experience: My perfect gym. I have attended 3days a week without fail since I joined ...this has never happened before. Its a very happy comfortable atmosphere and having a PT at hand 100% of the time is simply perfect. You wouldn't get it anywhere else for the price. I cant see myself ever not being a member. Im getting stronger and fitter and any of my personal back and knee problems are always concidered when developing exercise programmes. Thanks Fran and Conor

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Loadstone Health and Performance since April and couldn’t be happier. The setup is excellent, the guidance is spot-on, and the continuous encouragement really keeps you motivated. I’ve made great progress in a short time thanks to all the support. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started in Lodestone doing small group sessions with Francis (Fran) around March of 2024, coming up on a year ago, as an out-of-shape 43-year-old, with a couple of failed prior attempts in the gym, and with different PTs. I very quickly experienced that with Francis there was a personable, encouraging touch that really was the difference. Almost a year later (attending twice a week) I've noticed significant changes right across the board - a big bump in general fitness, strength, energy levels etc. It's not always easy, particularly in the beginning, but change comes with time and consistency, which is really what Francis instills right from the start. Really highly recommended. It can change your life!

Fantastic experience: I had never been to a GYM, until I was introduced to Lodestone, total enjoyment,....

Fantastic experience: Francis has helped me completely change my approach to weight loss & fitness. All of his training & nutrition plans are completely personalised and his regular check-ins throughout the programme mean everything is regularly tailored to suit your requirements. His positive mindset means no challenge is too big/small to work through to achieve the results you’re looking for.

Fantastic experience: Top class service provided in Lodestone. You're left to train and focus at your own pace whilst constantly getting feedback to ensure maximum output from the time spent there. I went to Francis first when returning to fitness from illness and was anxious but his intuition and quiet will to drive you on proved so incredibly helpful. Now I'm back at full fitness and been driven on more, couldn't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym with a great instructor in Francie. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’m with Lodestone since April 2023, Francis is a genuinely hard working trainer who is invested in your progress. Plans are developed around you, your ability and comfort level with consistent progression. As a mum of 3 he provides a wide varied timetable to enable me to work around a busy home! He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries and is extremely reliable & punctual. Sessions are small and the gym has a warm and welcoming vibe… lots of lovely clients!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy all my sessions down in Lodestone. Fran is very encouraging, so helpful and really knows his stuff. Getting back to exercise after having a baby isn't easy but I found the small group sessions ideal - the music helps too

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Lodestone. I started my fitness journey with Fran as a complete beginner. Lifting weights was completely alien to me and something I felt I would never be able to do well. Fran instilled so much confidence in me, starting with what I was able for and building from there. He always listened and checked in with me to see what my goals were and we would work from there. I ended up loving working out and became confident enough to go to the gym on my own and follow his plan for me. Highly recommend Fran and Lodestone for all fitness goals!

Would recommend Francis far and wide!

Fantastic experience: I have been gyming with Francis for 12 weeks. The program has been personalised for me to reach my weigh loss and body strengthening goals.
