    I've been training with Casey for more than three years now. He's fantastic. Knowledgeable, good humoured, and motivating. he's helped me make and maintain ambitious goals for weight loss and fitness. And I love the gym as well. It's just the right size with a great blend of pleasant people from the neighbourhood.

    Iā€™ve been training with Darren in the small PT group for over a year and loving it! Darren plans each session according to your fitness goals, he is super knowledgeable and encouraging, training is so custom my training sessions are in Spanish! Also, the environment is super friendly, FitFunActive team have built a lovely community in Deptford

    I met the FitFunActive team at one of their Couch to 5k programmes a couple of years ago. I was so impressed by their professionalism and attitude I have been attending the Small Group training ever since. You can buy sessions in blocks which are reasonably priced and convenient and although it's a 'group' session - your programme is completely tailored to your own goals and progression. So it is really more like having a great Personal Trainer at an affordable rate. I have been working with Darren who is extremely knowledgeable and informative and balances a serious approach to training with an approachable manner which keeps the sessions challenging but fun. Shock horror - I don't dread the Gym! Darren has been helping me prepare for my second Half Marathon which is a distance I would never have believed I could achieve (starting as a non runner just over 2 years ago) - FitFunActive's belief has been key. The atmosphere at the Gym is really welcoming and friendly - not intimidating in any way which had put me off Gyms before. I would highly recommend the FitFunActive team to anyone starting a fitness journey or those more experienced. Their approach is so dedicated, supportive and focussed on your individual progression and requirements - both physical and mental. Joining this Gym is a great way to start and sustain positive change.

    The staff here are really friendly and helpful. I want to give a shout out to my trainer in particular - Casey Weston. Heā€™s great. Heā€™s good at designing and leading me through workouts and has helped me achieve my weight loss targets over the last few months that I have been working with him.

    I've been doing the small group PT for about 4 months and could not possibly be any happier. Darren is a fantastic trainer for any possible goal. There are max 6 in each class, each with their own training program, that changes weekly, focused on their specific goal. Darren handles everything from massive strength gains, to injuries and rehab, weight loss, or sports performance. Really interesting to see how tailored each program is. I had been strength training for a few years but have seen big improvements in my strength and form. I think the price is extremely fair for how personalised and small the classes are. Darren, and all the coaches, are all really nice, and coach in a very positive way. You won't leave here feeling bad about yourself. Atmosphere in the group is lovely too, nice mix of people from the area. Everyone gets on with their own thing but is happy to be there and really friendly. Highly, highly recommend.

    Exceptional personal training with altesse. I lost a substantial amount of weight and more significantly for me personally felt much better mentally. I do not think I would have been able to achieve either of these things without the top notch instruction and support that was offered to me. Which never felt pressured or overbearing. I would happily reccomend fitfun to anyone looking to start restart or improve there exercise (as I believe everyone should be doing!)

    Following spinal surgery 10-months ago, which had left me weak, and with a semi-permanent foot condition, I was very pleased to discover FunFitActive in April 2023. At that time my morale was low and I needed to break the cycle of inactivity to become mobile again. Initially I was assessed by Darren, who then recommended setting up an exercise programme with Altesse. I have been really impressed with my time so far. Altesse has shown extreme patience and while I know my recovery will be a long process I have started to gain confidence, and strength. The team members have impressive anatomical knowledge, along with sound experience in training. To have this regular input from Altesse as part of my overall recovery plan has been excellent, and I have learned from Altesse the importance of gradually increasing expectations of oneself, in addition to the continuous exercise, in order to achieve results. Many thanks Joanna

    I really recommend PT group lessons with Grace. She is really motivating in a fun way and I like the dynamic of a group class rather than one to one. I still get lots of input from Grace on what to work on and how to get to my goals but in a more relaxed atmosphere. She's also really flexible in terms of when I can't make sessions. Can't recommend enough!

  • 5/5 To Denh C. 8 months ago on Google
    I have been doing the fitfunactive small group personal training sessions with Altesse in Streatham Common for the last 6 months. It has been an incredibly positive and enjoyable experience for me. It has been great to be able to exercise outdoors yet have access to all the equipment such as the TRX, battle ropes, weights etc. The small group setting is ideal for me as I am able to exercise with others and still benefit from a personalised program and instruction from Altesse. I would definitely recommend!

    I've been training with Grace for over 9 months and can safely say she has totally changed my mindset towards exercise. Before Grace I was too intimidated to go in a gym and I felt totally clueless with where and how to start my fitness journey. She's helped me to see that confidence comes from so much more than just losing weight. Grace really takes the time to get to know you as a person and our sessions are something I really look forward to every week. Thank you Grace for all your help it really has changed my life for the better!

    Darren and the team are brilliant and a lovely bunch. The regular group PT sessions are a great way to get a bespoke service for a very reasonable price. They will work with you to figure out whatā€™s best for you, help you get over injuries, push you to your safe limit and generally bring smiles and great vibes. Best gym in Deptford, actually best gym in London.

  • 5/5 Lauren T. 1 year ago on Google
    I have just completed 10 weeks of group PT led by Grace and I canā€™t recommend it enough. The Group PT was organised to perfection that you could focus on yourself whilst being in a group and use a range of equipment. Grace really understood my needs to build my confidence and get back to fitness after having a baby. If anyone is thinking of doing it, go for it!

    I have been training with Joe over the last couple of months and it has been fantastic. My fitness levels have improved dramatically. Joe is great at motivating me to work hard in and out of the gym. The sessions are engaging and tailored to my goals and abilities, and I look forward to them every time. I have recently joined the group boxing sessions which are also very good. I would definitely recommend Joe and the team at FitFun.

  • 5/5 Korona K. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place to anyone who want to get in shape. I have been doing some 1-2-1session with Darren twice a week. Darren is really helpful and make you feel comfortable. The training session goes really fast and you will enjoy it. I was completely out of shape and suffered for 12 years from sciatica and slipped disc pain. After few weeks of training I am now pain free. The workout are tailored to my specific needs, are gentle but effective. Darren guide you through the process and provide you with workout to do at home, nutrition advice. Just make the first step and give them a call, you will love it.

    I have been training with Darren since last summer. I started with 1-2-1 sessions and then progressed to group PT. Darren is an extremely positive and motivational presence, he has been incredibly supportive of my ever-changing work pattern and adapted around my lifestyle. I used to think of exercise as a way to lose weight and burn calories but Darren has changed my mindset about how I think about exercise and my attitude towards it. It is now not only a means to lose weight but to feel better mentally AND physically. I have seen a vast improvement on my mood, concentration and general fitness since training with Darren. I have had a few setbacks but Darren is always there to assist you getting back on track and keeping you focused. Most importantly the workouts are fun and creative. Each week the exercises are switched up and present a new positive challenge. The group I train with are also a lovely, friendly group of people of mixed ability. Thanks Darren and I am enjoying continuing this journey with you at Fit Fun Active.

    Altesse is a great coach, has great energy, and is very encouraging. He helped me develop the right habits to succeed on my fitness journey and helped me build my strength and stamina back up to a point that I didnā€™t think it could get to given the back injury I sustained. His belief that the sky is the limit will have been a strong contributing factor to that in addition to the fact that he clearly knows what heā€™s doing.

  • 5/5 Ailsa B. 2 years ago on Google
    Darren is a great PT. My friend and I had never had a pt before and Darren has been great, heā€™s made us actually enjoy exercise. Our body shapes have changed with minimal effort and Darren always asks for feedback and takes it on. We are lifers now, he has got us hooked! He will tailor to what you want to do and achieve, not pushy but is motivating! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Kathryn L. 2 years ago on Google
    Darren designs great training programmes which are tailored to help you achieve your goals. The workouts are all different and varied which keeps them interesting and the gym is really well equipped. Would really recommend.

  • 5/5 Will S. 2 years ago on Google
    The team at FitFun are amazing and really know what they're doing. The sessions I did with Darren were fun and engaging and tailored directly to what I wanted to do. I have been to a lot of different gyms and I cannot recommend FitFun enough.

  • 5/5 Justine A. 2 years ago on Google
    *Excellent group session* I was running on the common and saw a group of people training and stopped and spoke to Altesse who suggested I try a taster session. I have now been going each Saturday. - Really great bunch of people who are are very friendly and welcoming. - Altesse does a great job of managing a group with varying levels of fitness and can always provide alternatives. - He is consistently positive and encouraging and uses a wide range of equipment plus body weight. *All round a great way to start the w-end!*

    After 25 years of Triathlon/ Duathlon, I finally decided to support my declining body with some personal training and working with Darren is getting me back on track. Great guy , knows his stuff !

  • 5/5 Iain H. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been training with Altesse for 6 months now and it's been great. I did it initially to get out of a rut during lockdown, but carried on training as it made me feel better all round, and physically and mentally. Knowledgable and friendly and good at motivating you. My fitness has gone well up and my running times have come down, now training for a half marathon. I would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Cor ā€œCorbā€ B. 2 years ago on Google
    I started PT with Darren about 7 months ago and have been going around 2 times a week, Iā€™m really pleased I did! It was a great decision and Iā€™m really enjoying FitFunActive! Iā€™ve tried other PTs in the past, but Darrenā€™s approach really works well for me. He is extremely knowledgeable, positive, encouraging & experienced and plans the sessions really well. Iā€™ve found my weekly training programme has been tailored to what I need and to help me achieve my short & long term goals. No single training session has been the same, and it's always been fun and I've been thoroughly motivated. This has led me to learning a lot over the last few months & most importantly keeps the sessions interesting. The studio is also really well equipped with lots of good equipment. For me, a key takeaway from the sessions is developing good habits as well as learning safe and effective exercise habits, which I can apply into my lifelong exercises. This is something Darren is really good at addressing. The regular ā€˜check insā€™ as well as Darrenā€™s approach around coaching when it comes to both exercise, diet and fasting have positively influenced my lifestyle in a long term way. There are various options including 1:1 PT or group training opportunities as well as various online and in person group classes. Itā€™s been a really great investment in myself and I couldnā€™t recommend Darren and his team more highly! Iā€™d thoroughly recommend you give them a go!

    I have been training with Grace as part of her postnatal 'ab rehab' class. Grace really understands postnatal fitness and her classes have been a great way for me to rebuild my fitness confidence and core post baby. The classes were well designed to gradually build up core strength with lots of options in terms of challenge so you could really tailor your sessions to your needs. With babies also welcomed and considered in the sessions, this was a great course for busy mums!

  • 5/5 April K. 1 year ago on Google
    Three months before my wedding I reached out to Fit Fun Active. After my consultation, Altesse quickly set-up a personalised plan for me and we started the following week. All of the trainers at Fit Fun Active are incredibly motivational, supportive and experienced. Each session is different to keep it interesting and theyā€™re always a good mix of challenging yourself whilst feeling totally supported and comfortable to do so. My brilliant experience has helped to totally change my attitude towards fitness - I didnā€™t exercise much before but I now miss it if I canā€™t make one of the sessions! Even though my wedding is now over, Iā€™m going to continue working with Fit Fun Active and would highly recommend them to anyone.

  • 5/5 Heather 1 year ago on Google
    I have been training with Grace for a few months now because I suffered with a bad back over covid and needed to get my strength and muscle back whilst also not injuring myself. I find Grace super motivating and fun whilst also making me feel safe ensuring that my mobility increases every time we have a one on one PT session. Already significantly progressed and I always look forward to her sessions. Couldnā€™t recommend a better PT

  • 5/5 Sarah T. 1 year ago on Google
    Just finished a block of Grace's group PT classes. No hesitation is saying it's one of the best things I've done this year. I saw a huge difference in my physique even just doing one class a week. She is such a lovely, supportive and encouraging trainer, which makes for a very welcoming atmosphere in the class. She makes a tailored programme for you which works on whatever area you want to improve on (build strength, fitness etc). I would recommend it to anyone wherever they are on their fitness journey.

  • 5/5 Raziye Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been training with Grace for awhile and fully rate her as a personal trainer .. each week she brings something new to the session so it never gets boring! Grace encourages me to not only train well but to set realistic and achievable goals. Thoroughly recommend her!

  • 5/5 Sunil D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been training with Altesse for over 5 years, and he is a great PT. When I originally started my objective was to run a sub 1hr50m half marathon, and have since run sub 1hr40m. The sessions are always varied, and tailored to help or avoid injuries. Here's to another 5 years!

  • 5/5 Abi 5 months ago on Google ā€¢ 1 review
    My husband and I have been going to work out with Darren for 6months now. We both have very different needs and Darren has made bespoke routines for each of us . Heā€™s very attentive and explains everything we do and the reasons for doing it. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up to date with the latest thinkings on all sorts of topics. I really look forward to our sessions . Thank you Darren

    I started with Darren at FitFunActive a few months ago, and I am loving it so much! Tailored training in a small group environment, working on my fitness goals alongside a super friendly bunch of people. Darren is super knowledgeable and knows everything about every single muscle that sometimes it sounds like he is speaking another language, but the results speak for themselves! He is super kind while motivating you to WORK! Love going every week, my fitness future is looking good šŸ˜Š

  • 5/5 Caitlin F. 5 months ago on Google ā€¢ 2 reviews
    I have been training with Darren in the small group sessions for a few months and although I used to dread exercise I now look forward to the gym which is not something anyone else has managed to achieve for me! Darren takes a lot of care in designing work outs to fit your goals whilst taking into account any injuries you might have. I am super grateful to Darren and his team who are all incredibly supportive and lovely.

  • 5/5 Daniel Alan K. 5 months ago on Google ā€¢ 1 review
    I've been training with Darren for two years, Initially in weekly one-on-one sessions then moving into twice-weekly small group sessions. Darren has been great at designing exercise varied and challenging exercise regimens. He has also been happy to focus on my fitness goals (distance running) and even designed a half marathon training programme for me to do alongside training with him. His rates are also very reasonable I would recommend Darren to anyone looking to improve their fitness from any level.
