“I was approaching 50, looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw, so I took action and built up the courage to approach Shane Raymond as I admired him for many years. Shane and I worked together in which he tailored a workout plan and diet for me – I still train with him at his gym, Body Ethics. It’s the best gym to build confidence – it’s like a big family gym as everyone is treated with respect and dignity. I lost over 10kgs and am now on the next level to achieve more.”

“Meet Monika. The 47 year mother of two was Finding herself just turning up to the gym and training whatever she felt like. After following this approach for some time, she became disheartened from not seeing any results, her motivation was low, so Monika decided to take ACTION and reach out for help. After establishing her goals and struggles, we introduced structure and accountability that she was severely lacking. With goals set, a structured training program and a custom nutrition guide, Monika had clarity for the first time. Monika has lost over a stone and a half and she is now in the best shape of her life, with new unrivalled confidence.”

“Meet Sam, a painter and decorator and father of two. Sam had spent most of his life dangerously overweight. Sadly after the death of his mother he made a promise to her that he would do something about his health. He made a promise on energy he couldn’t break. Sam’s mental health dramatically deteriorated and It was at that point Sam decided to take action on the promise he made, and reached out for help. During his consultation with one of our coaches Shane they put together a plan of action, aiming to slowly eliminate bad habits and introduce good ones, immediately.”

“I have always been overweight for as long as I can remember and although I went to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, I never really took it seriously or lost any weight. So I decided to invest in a personal trainer and its one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I started training with Shane in March 2016 and in that time he has helped me lose over 6 stone. I always look forward to training with Shane; his sessions are challenging but always enjoyable. Shane is professional, dedicated, motivating, friendly and supportive. 7 years on Shane is still the best investment I made! He is still my coach, a good friend and now, I also have the pleasure of working with him as manager at his very own gym Body Ethics!”

“Stuck in constant limbo, never knowing whether to build muscle or lose body fat. Frustrated, lacking structure and going nowhere fast, his motivation was at a low. 6–7 Years of banging his head against a wall and not seeing the results he wanted Ryan decided to take ACTION and reach out for help early 2023. After consulting with him, we established that adding muscle to his frame was his main goal. But in order to add a significant amount of muscle to his frame, we needed to bring his body fat down first, while holding on to as much tissue as possible. Shifting his thought process to a get lean mindset, Ryan had clarity and new-found motivation.”

“Meet Karen. Karen was finding herself just turning up to the gym and training whatever she felt like. Skipping meals because she was unsure what to eat, because she was trying to lose weight, then becoming so hungry in the evenings, binge eating, and reaching for super high calorie food choices. Her motivation was at an all time low. After making little to no progress, Karen decided to take ACTION and reach out for help. After establishing her goals and struggles, we introduced structure and accountability that she was severely lacking. With goals set, a structured training program and a custom nutrition guide, Karen had clarity for the first time. Karen recently hit the 2 stone loss mark, and I’m excited for her to witness what she is truly capable of as we transition into the next phase.”

I’ve been with Body Ethics since May 2021and prior to 2020 the same gym but Peak Fitness as it was called then. Best gym in Hitchin by a million miles and I should know because I’ve tried them all. Professional staff, superb equipment, ultra clean facilities and above all else a very safe environment in which to exercise. Gyms are vital for mental health and general well being as well as the physical.
Been a member of Body Ethics since its opening, and having tried pretty much every other gym in the area its safe to say I've found my home. Great gym with all the equipment you need, always clean and uncluttered. All the staff are top people, super friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help and give advice/assistance. Great job by Shane and his excellent team on building this place up and setting the industry standard!
Great Gym! Friendly Staff, 100% have a look at the PT programmes and Classes! Something for every ability!
Love coming to Body Ethics for so many reasons. The team are so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and the coaches provide expert guidance that helps me get the most out of my fitness journey.I love how there are two floors, with state-of-the-art equipment.What sets this gym apart is that it makes you feel like a second home as soon as you walk in.Highly recommend!
Highly recommend body ethics 🙌 this gym is very friendly! everyone is so nice. Soon as I started I was comfortable going on my own, if you ever need help someone is always there. I had Giulia as my PT for 5 month she was amazing got me seeing results made my gym sessions enjoyable always happy and pushed you that little bit more. Love how all the gym members go out and socialise. Shane is great always answering my questions and very approachable..
Paul has been a first class PT from the very start. Super knowledgeable and has helped me to totally transform my life. Highly recommended!
When I was at my lowest ebb and struggling with my weight I discovered Body Ethics.. From the start the staff at Body Ethics have been amazing they have guided me through my personal goals and praised all my achievements., small group personal training has the advantage of motivating you from your peers and the coach. In a group, there is often more energy and maybe even some healthy competitiveness. Human nature dictates that you are more inclined to put out an all-out effort if the person sitting next to you is. Members are coached by their trainer individually and support is given throughout the whole session to make sure perfect form and appropriate weights are being used for the given exercises.! if I could give 10 stars would
I joined Body Ethics in February and it’s been fantastic, the best gym I’ve been to with a great atmosphere. Lovely staff, great equipment and coaching programs to fit everyone’s needs.
I highly recommend Body Ethics! My trainer is Guilia, She is an amazing personal trainer who is incredibly supportive and motivating. From the start, she made me feel comfortable while still pushing me to challenge myself and stay focused on my goals.Guilia always brings great energy to every session and genuinely cares about helping her clients improve. She takes the time to guide me through each exercise, making sure my form is right and encouraging me to push a little further every time.Thanks to her support and motivation, I feel stronger, more confident, and much more committed to my fitness journey. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and helps push you towards your goals, I definitely recommend Guilia at Body Ethics and to add body ethics is one of the best gym in gym I love the vibe and community at body ethics.
I really appreciate the way Paul understood my own goals, accepted my own levels of fitness, and set about improving and pushing them! He always encourages and supports you to go the extra, and I find myself doing more than I thought I was capable of - certainly more than I would have done on my own. Paul is very knowledgeable, inspiring and a great guy. Highly recommended!
Excellent training facilities, with approachable, friendly & super knowledgeable trainers. This is the place to go in Hitchin if you're serious about achieving your health goals.
Paul is a fantastic personal trainer who has a wealth of knowledge across many disciplines such as martial arts, organic food and more. Couldn’t recommend higher, great holistic approach to health and fitness.
This place just feels like home I’m over 2 years at this place and I won’t leave everyone’s friendly the gym equipment spot on the environment is brilliant all pts are very helpful even when there not training you, the people training in the gym are great to, this is the place to be!!
I’ve spent years trying different gyms, but I always ended up quitting because they made me feel so anxious and uncomfortable. Body Ethics is the first place where I’ve actually felt at ease. All the coaches are brilliant, they’re friendly, really know their stuff, and there’s no intimidation factor. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Quality gym,run by Shane and Co who know what it's all about. Well equipped,.
I have trained here since its birth and loved every session! I owe BODY ETHICS and it’s helpful staff for the physique I’ve attained.
Been training at here since it opened. I've trained in many gyms but I find this gym the best for my needs. Friendly staff good equipment.
Body ethics is the best gym in Hitchin to achieve your fitness goals! An amazing place to workout with professional trainers and staff who will support you through your firness journey! Great equipment and facilities too. Completely satisfied with the service and would highly recommend!
Shane is phenomenal, such great experience and passion for what he does - and Body Ethics is a great base, never crowded & equipment always available. Highly recommended!!
Gym is well managed and always has equipment available so no waiting for ages. Equipment is decent and lots of weights for those that need extra. Gym is a friendly place all staff are very welcoming. Those who attend are equally friendly there is a good mix of men / women of all sizes and ages. I signed up to the transformation program for 12 weeks. Shane was my coach, he helps get the best out of you. Starts with a mobilisation assessment checking for mobility and any injuries. Shane does his very best so you don’t hurt yourself - very considerate. When you start Shane prepares workouts he has been flexible especially as I have young children and is not always easy to commit to advance dates/times. Not ideal for him but has moved my slots around. Shane not a coach who shouts he really makes you feel comfortable and gives constructive feedback. There is also an app which is great it monitors everything’s and gives you workout plan with videos. If you’re unsure I would say at least pop in a speak to Shane, he is not a sales man so doesn’t pressure you into anything. Give the mobilisation assessment a go… I highly recommend it.
I’ve been training with Paul for several months and would definitely recommend him. He takes a holistic view to training and really listens as well as training during sessions, focussing on overall wellbeing. My confidence at the gym and in general has improved and I have a lot to thank Paul for as he has been key to accelerating both my fitness and wellbeing journeys! ☺️
Staff are amazing and the gym is always spotless. Definitely recommend people to come here if they’re looking for a divested and inclusive gym to work out in ⭐️
Wanted to join a gym but knew I would go once or twice and then make excuses not to go. Lots of internet hunting later I found Paul and met him at my local gym. Started training with him at 14 weeks post baby and the support and encouragement from Paul has been amazing. Fast forward three months and I feel like a different person. I am eating so much better, have more energy, I’m sleeping better and I am more focused. I am so much stronger and couldn’t be prouder of my transformation photos. I highly recommend Paul, he is kind, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about you reaching your goals. Couldn’t have done it without him.
Been to a few gyms in hitchin and this one great. Brilliant vibe from the people in there training and the staff are very professional and are there if you have any questions needing to be asked. I would say if current gym membership coming to a end the come and try out Body Ethincs before renewing
I've got exactly what I wanted out the training sessions with Paul.. increased fitness levels and confidence in pushing myself at the gym. He also has expert knowledge in nutrition and supplements to aid a healthy and optimal lifestyle. Thanks so much 🙏
This a great gym. Plenty of different equipment to use and to veary your workout. Staff are also friendly and very helpful. I found this gym to be more my style and a great atmosphere. Well worth a tour and try if your looking to progress and work on achievable goals
Highly recommend Paul as a personal trainer. Great all round knowledge of nutrition, fitness and gym technique, with a down to earth and pragmatic approach. I'm a 48 year old guy and have always been relatively active, but engaged Paul's help when I discovered my visceral fat was very high. Following Paul's advice and plan 4 months later I've lost 8.5kg of fat and gained 2.5kg of muscle and smashed most of my targets. Thanks Paul 👍
Great trainer, very knowledgeable and listens to what you want to work/improve on. Highly recommended!
Paul has coached me for the last 2 years he is a fantastic personal trainer
Paul is a very nice guy ☺️ always supportive and very helpful he has a lot of knowledge in what he does. I highly recommend him as a trainer, his classes are always fun. I really like training with Paul🙌
I’ve been a member of Body Ethics since it opened in 2019 and it’s honestly so much more than just a gym to me!I have a young son with autism who takes up all my time and being able to come here and feel safe, happy and positive means so much.Everyone’s really friendly, no judgement at all, and you can just come in, do your thing and not feel out of place.The trainers are really knowledgeable and always happy to help and give advice. It just makes it a really easy place to be.I really look forward to going, which says everything really. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I have trained at this gym since it started. I travel out of my way to train here and there are several reasons why. * This is most inclusive and diverse gym I have ever trained in. It is welcoming to all people from whatever background and whatever level . * The staff and coaches are very professional and are always willing to help and give sound advice. * The atmosphere in the gym is fantastic no egos, any egos are left outside. 😀. * The equipment is top notch and of a very good standard. I cannot recommend Body Ethics highly enough it’s not just a gym it’s where you can make life changing difference to your body, mental wellbeing and make friendships with likeminded people. To all at Body Ethics keep the good work up.
Paul is a lovely guy, very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. His sessions are fun and very productive.
Paul is as genuine as it comes, he will support you in whatever your goals are and give the best advise to achieve said goals. He is also a absolute wizard in bjj and good luck with a roll. He will be kind but brutal. If that puts you off it shouldn't, lean into it.
I really enjoy going to the gym here, the owner and all PT's are super friendly and it's a great environment to work hard
Well-equipped gym with a wide range of equipment to suit different needs. Staff always friendly and happy to help. Nice atmosphere between customers and a motivating place to train.
I’ve had lots of PT sessions with Paul training BJJ and Nogi. He’s a fantastic trainer and makes every session enjoyable. It’s super easier to learn from Paul.
