I joined OPEX in Bristol as a last stab at fixing a foot injury that I had carried for 6 years. There was no obvious cause for this injury making it hard to diagnose, it slowly started to impede my running, rugby and football to the point I had to stop. Having seen several other physio and specialist with little success I thought I had exhausted all options. I can now say confidently that with my tailored OPEX program I am able to do these sports again pain free. Since this point Danny and team have supported me on my next steps to gain better body composition and improve my overall fitness with the view to get somewhere near the standard I was at pre injury. What makes this better is the kind supporting nature of all the coaches in the team. They listen, take your feedback on board and adjust your training to support your goals.

Really enjoying going to OPEX, my husband and I are going together and are LOVING the atmosphere and support. The gym is so friendly and everyone there is really welcoming and supportive. It’s not like other gyms where you may feel intimidated, the environment is incredibly supportive and we always have a laugh at our workouts. I’ve noticed changes already as I begin to work towards my goals- this is all thanks to James and his team! Highly recommend OPEX!

The whole team at OPEX Bristol are incredible. They have changed my life for the better. It’s not all about exercise, the OPEX Bristol coaches deal with holistic well-being. They have changed the way I see exercise and diet. I was stuck in a rut, and they have pulled me out, giving me the tools to sustain a healthy lifestyle. After coming home having finished a session at the gym, I can’t wait to get back in there again!

OPEX Bristol is an fantastic gym and community! Working as a doctor, fitting in the right training around shift work can be tough, but James and his team design sessions around shifts to reflect my energy levels. Having previously done other types of training including CrossFit, I am certain that OPEX personalised training is by far superior. Each session is programmed by a coach with an impressive knowledge base targeting exactly what I need to work - I am finally seeing sustainable changes! The trainers and other members are so supportive, no matter if you are an athlete or never been a gym member, it is a wonderful environment.

Danny and Milo are fantastic coaches. I’ve never been able to stick with any exercise plan before but they have made it easy. From full programming to monthly catch-ups that keep me on track it has been the simplest process I’ve ever gone on. They are super flexible when it comes to any issues I may have and have been really encouraging whenever I’ve struggled. The atmosphere at the gym is always fun and all the other members I’ve met have been welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I have been coming to Opex for about 5 years now and feel its been a great place to reach my fitness goals. The team are super supportive and the exercise program is tailor made to suit the individual. On top of that its a really friendly place and never intimidating like some other gyms. I joined to get into shape for a charity endurance event, but have loved it so much I stayed. I have really seen a big difference in my cardio and strength levels thanks to the guys and my personal exercise program.

Coaches know what they’re talking about, friendly, community atmosphere with no intimidation. Having Danny as my coach has really expanded my mind to fitness, I have learnt new things even after being under a barbell for 10 years, I am continuing to grow my knowledge within the gym! Opex is worth every penny! If you really want to learn and change your life around, this is the place for you.

I have been working with the amazing and incredibly knowledgable coaches at Opex on a strength programme for 6 months now and I’m lifting more than I ever have! My 6am starts feel like a pleasure rather than a chore. A membership feels very personalised and having a workout space guaranteed after booking feels like a priceless luxury. All the other gym members have been very friendly and understand that each person who visits Opex is working to their own specific routine.

I've been coming to Opex for about 10 months now and I can honestly say its one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've always struggled with trying to figure out gym routines, classes never really suited me, and I was horribly inconsistent with my workouts - I never made any progress in my fitness. Since joining Opex I've been transformed! I'm consistently in the gym at 6am three days a week. In 10 months I've missed one or two sessions due to illness but it's very rare. I travel for work regularly and it usually takes me weeks to get back to the gym again - but now I'll be back within days due to encouragement from the coaches. They have also been great at allowing me to pause my plan between my work schedule which is brilliant. Having a routine set for me has made the world of difference and the guidance you get from Milo and Danny is absolutely top. I've seen big changes in my body in terms of muscle gain and toning, and last year I ran my first half marathon with the help and guidance from Milo. The gym is well equipped and you always have someone on hand to spot you - so no hesitations in pushing yourself to reach higher goals. My biggest hesitation joining the gym was the cost. It's a bit of a step up from the £20 a month I was paying previously. But as I see it, before I was essentially flushing money down the drain, and now I am investing in my health and future. I didn't hesitate to sign up for another 6 months when my first 6 was over.

I've been working with PT's Milo and Danny, who have been hugely supportive and generally nice people to be around, which always helps! The programme has been tailored to what I'm looking to achieve, Milo is very knowledgeable and good at tailoring/listening/challenging in the right way. The gym set up itself is great, you have a station each so no need to worry about holding someone else up. The other people I've met using the gym have also been really friendly. I'd definitely recommend.

I have been training at Opex for just under 5yrs, and I have to say it has such a welcoming environment, it really isn't like commercial gyms. The coaches are amazing and really know their stuff, my training has always been specifically designed for me as an individual, to help me reach my goals. I would highly recommend people to get in touch with Opex Bristol. FYI - I did try another gym a year ago, I left for 6mths and then returned to Opex! :)

Thoroughly enjoy training in this gym! The staff are super friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. It has a lovely atmosphere and friendly vibe, somewhere I feel comfortable all the time which is very rare to find in a gym atmosphere. Cannot recommend this gym enough! A lifestyle change with the support of the great staff

I really love how OPEX works- you work with a specific coach/trainer who listens to your goals and sets a workout and nutrition program for you, then when you choose when you come into the gym to complete your workout- with a coach always there to make sure your form is on point (or to shout encouragement on those tough sets). You track your progress and can share feedback to incorporate into the next week. There's a variety of people at OPEX all focusing on their own routine- whether it's cardio or Olympic weightlifting or deadlifts. The community, accountability, friendly atmosphere are all great too. I am stronger than ever before and am happy that I found this place!

I LOVE THE GYM! Which is not something I’d ever thought I’d say but it’s all down to this place. I’ve always been very intimidated by gyms as a plus sized girl - especially the weight section but here I feel comfortable and encouraged to be my best self. Danny and Milo are both fantastic PTs and have created an enjoyable and fun environment to work out in. The gym never feels like a chore anymore but an attachment of my lifestyle I am eager to fit into my week. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone especially if you feel intimidated by gyms and wants to join a location were you are eager to come back again and again!

The gym is fully equipped with everything what is necessary to do your functional training. The coaches are highly educated and their program follows the requirements of each inviduals. I have joined the opex programme 6+ years and it was one of my best decision.

Milo and Danny really know their stuff - way beyond usual gym trainers. Experts in their fields (strong science/bio-mechanical backgrounds) they help you to understand yourself, in terms of what supports your growth, or what holds you back, both physically and mentally. They look at the whole of you - not just your muscles! This impact lasts. I've learnt consistency (this is a first!), patience when knock backs happen, bounce-back after viruses, and all with a lightness that means my heart never sinks when I go to the gym because it's always an adventure.

I've never felt comfortable in a gym but OPEX Bristol has become a place I look forward to going to. I absolutely love it. My trainer is just awesome! Keeps me accountable in a kind and compassionate way with lots of jokes and support. OPEX has now become my favourite place to exercise. Thanks OPEX Bristol for making being (and remaining) fit and strong such a friendly experience.

Since starting training at Opex, I’ve been the healthiest I’ve ever been, mentally and physically. The facilities have everything you could want, the coaches are always to hand with help and advice. Your exercise routine is always adapted to your goals and circumstances. Danny, Milo and James have made a regular gym goer out of a previous exercise-phobic.

I've been a member of OPEX Bristol since I hurt my back November 2019. I approached them as I'd heard really good things about them from some of my Pilates clients(I'm a Pilates Teacher). I absolutely love going to OPEX, my exercise plan is tailor made to my needs and is always evolving and progressing. I go to OPEX 4 or 5 times a week, the training programme is smartly written so that I never feel exhausted. Tailor made every week to suit my needs and goals, it is always evolving and progressing, pushing me gently out of my confort zone. I've enjoyed getting out of pain and now working on my strength amd resiliance to walk a marathon in April and run a half marathon in July. The OPEX trainers were amazing throughout the pandemic of 2020 and wrote me a program and loaned me equipment so that I could train during lockdowns and now I'm back on site training in a safe environment. Being a trainer myself makes me quite specific about the qualities I want from a coach and gym, OPEX fulfiles them all. Danny, James, Milo and Maddie, thanks so much for taking care of me when I was broken and making me stronger(and 8kg lighter). Elle.

In my opinion the best place to workout in Bristol - they did what no other gym could do and sorted out a myriad of post knee operation niggles! The coaches listen and create a training program which is really tailored to your needs. Someone is always on hand to support. Everyone is so friendly and you don’t feel like you need to rock up in all the gear - people are there to train and encourage each other.

Great coaches that are always on hand to help, I was Sceptical about joining due to price. However that didn’t fail to exceed my expectations, they have made me feel so much more confident about being in the gym. Built my strength and stamina up so much and improved my techniques teaching me new ways to life and different exercises. The members are great and such a friendly atmosphere nothing like a normal gym.

I would highly recommend OPEX fitness. It is amazing what you can achieve with the right encouragement, guidance and motivation. Since joining OPEX I have seen improvement in my fitness, strength and overall health. All of the coaches are very helpful and clearly have very in depth knowledge of all things fitness. I have been paired with Danny who has been excellent in setting workouts for me that have a good amount of variety which has stopped me from getting bored as I quite often do when trying to go to the gym. He listens to how I have found exercises and will change my programme to target specific muscles/weak areas so that I get the most out of each training session. There is a feeling that they genuinely want to see you improve and achieve your goals which you don’t always get and has made a big difference to my own levels of motivation. This really does feel like the future of personal training.

Super friendly gym and personal trainers. I came here to train as I was visiting from OPEX Gatwick but these guys know what they are doing. If you want personal training that spans a lifetime I would start your journey here. These guys are not here for "6 weeks to abs", these guys are here to assist you being the best version of you, no matter your fitness level. Come along and make some friends in the process!
