“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 training with Paul for 4 month - he’s a great guy and I can highly recommend him. I’m confident pushing hard in our workouts because of his strict emphasis on form and injury prevention. He’s tailored the workouts as I’ve learned which exercises I prefer, so maintaining motivation has been easy.
Quality gym,run by Shane and Co who know what it's all about. Well equipped,.
Body Ethics is an amazing gym. Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The gym area is clean. Has all the equipment you need and more .
I have been training at Body Ethic for couple of years now, facilities are brilliant and all staffs extremely competent and friendly. I also started a training/nutrition journey with Shane about 2 months ago. What can I say, competence, availability and professionalism. Listens to your needs and creates a tailor-made path that allows you to express yourself at your best and which above all is sustainable over time. You will never feel anxious and listless about training, but it will simply be a pleasure to train. Highly recommended
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.
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!
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
Giulia is an incredible personal trainer – confident, strong, and genuinely lovely to work with. From day one, she’s pushed me to go beyond what I thought I was capable of, always keeping me motivated and focused. Every session is challenging (in the best way!), and she really knows how to put you through your paces while still making it enjoyable. Her energy is infectious, and her support makes a huge difference. I’ve seen real progress thanks to her guidance and encouragement. Honestly, she’s the best, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
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

I joined Body Ethics Gym last year, and I have to say, it’s been a transformative experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean, well-equipped facility and the welcoming atmosphere. The gym offers a wide range of modern equipment and a variety of classes that cater to all fitness levels.One of the standout features of Body Ethics is Coach Shane. His expertise and passion for fitness are evident in every session. Shane’s approach is personalized and encouraging, making each workout both challenging and enjoyable. He takes the time to understand each member’s goals and tailors his coaching to help them achieve their best.
Great gym with a wide variety of equipment and really friendly staff. Always a good atmosphere definitely recommend.
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 🙏
Parents have just moved to Hitchin and I visit them from Amsterdam. I needed a gym with all the right equipment and could easily park. Great gym with all the equipment you need (the Watson stuff is particularly cool) and the staff are really friendly too.4 min from my parents house, easily my gym of choice when I'm over.Pre workout / post session protein shakes are all fairly priced too and the place is incredibly clean.5 stats for everyone that works there. Cheers!
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’ve been seeing Shane for over 2 years now. I train with him once a week and then on my own for another 3 days, following a programme he created for me on an easy-to-use app that makes tracking progress simple.The gym has a really friendly atmosphere, and there’s always staff around to offer advice and support when needed.I’m so glad I decided to make a change at 40 — it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
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.
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.
Brilliant gym with nice staff members and members, had Shane as a coach and he did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend this gym to people in the hitchin area as a great place to train with a good atmosphere
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.
Love this gymmm🤩 especially Lisa!! Thanks for always looking after me 🖤
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!!
Great gym, the staff always greet you with a smile and can’t do enough for you and are always on hand if you need a bit of advice, weather it be with training or nutrition.
I’ve been with Paul for around 2 months now and I can honestly say he has gave me a completely different perspective on my training. Paul sat me down and asked what I wanted, and he orientated my training to best suit my needs, maximise gains and to smash my targets
Love this place. Really friendly staff. Great equipment and a really good atmosphere.
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.
Brilliant Gym! Highly recommend Body ethics. Shane and the team are very Polite, Knowledgeable and promote confidence throughout. The Gym is very up to date, clean and friendly place to be. You won't be disappointed. Wether your going for a personal training session or a workout with a friend, Body ethics is the place to be!!
Paul is an encouraging and supportive coach with a wealth of knowledge. He gently coaxes a little more out of every session. I went to him after a full knee replacement and he has returned my knee to a strength I would not have expected at the begining of our sessions. He adapted the training sessions to suit my needs every session. My balance is 100% improved. I will be back in a few months after my second knee is replaced. Thank you Paul!
I only go to the gym's small group training sessions and the PTs are great for motivation, very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent staff too.
