“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.”

Paul has been a first class PT from the very start. Super knowledgeable and has helped me to totally transform my life. Highly recommended!
Great gym with good facilities and a strong community feel. Everyone’s friendly, and the staff are helpful.
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 🙏
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..
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
Been with a few other PT's and the sessions with Paul have been most enjoyable. I have learnt so much not only in my training but primarily health and nutrition where he his knowledge cannot be faulted. A very big advocate of Organic nutrition and shares a wealth of detail of his personal nutrition.Thanks again Paul
Extremely knowledgeable & helpful.Paul has allowed me to unlock a large portion of my potential, very grateful.
Love this gymmm🤩 especially Lisa!! Thanks for always looking after me 🖤
I’ve been training at BodyEthics’s for a year now and the facilities are always so clean, the staff are always so friendly and kind, they are always there for help when you need them! I love the supportive environment BodyEthics’s has, it’s always so welcoming! I recommend my friends to join BodyEthics’s, it’s great for people who are new to the gym and people who go frequently!
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! ☺️
I love body ethics and more specifically I love my PT Giulia 💖 I’ve been training with her for nearly 6 months now and I’ve noticed a massive difference in my physique and strength. She focuses on my goals, listens and changes things accordingly and most importantly empowers me 🥰 i now know how to do exercises independently and actually go to the gym by myself, so happy especially as I used to be so shy at the gym. I never thought I would become a gym girly but I am! 💪🏽 it’s a supportive gym environment, love the equipment and it’s even better because of my lovely PT 💕
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!
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.
I absolutely love Body Ethics. Being a 60 year old woman, the thought of walking into a gym and starting my fitness journey was daunting, but I soon realised with the help from Shane, it’s the best thing I have ever done, just wished I’d done it years ago! It’s not a cliche, everyone is really friendly and helpful there. Would highly recommend.
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!
Paul is a lovely guy, very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. His sessions are fun and very productive.
If I could give Body ethnic A 10 star rating I would the staff are so welcoming And professional and helpful The establishment itself is very impressive with all the classes and sessions it’s amazing and they really do make you feel like family :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
I’ve had a really positive experience at this gym, I am really enjoying it, From the moment you walk in the atmosphere feels welcoming and motivating rather than intimidating, which makes a huge difference whether you’re a beginner or more experienced.The staff are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help if you have questions about equipment or workouts. I’d definitely recommend body ethics gym
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!
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 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
As an amateur footballer I kept getting injured and always found weight training impossible to balance with my work, football and running. Paul helped build me a plan that not only works alongside my other activities but compliments them as well.I started with Paul 4 months ago and completed a 3 month plan we agreed. Since then I've not once been injured (trust me when I say that's a big thing for me!), and I'm arguably in the best shape of my life. The plan and motivation Paul gave me is something I'm incredibly happy with. I would recommend him to anyone
I'm not a regular gym person - I tend to exercise outdoors - however I wanted a focused 3 month 1:1 strength programme. Paul was my 1:1 personal trainer, he was really knowledgeable and made a great programme for me. The range of equipment is amazing and I am so pleased with the results. Paul always made the sessions enjoyable. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. I'll be back for another winter strength plan.
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!
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.
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.
Paul has coached me for the last 2 years he is a fantastic personal trainer
Premium quality gym. Plenty of equipment which is all clean and well maintained. Huge functional fitness area. The team are really friendly and gives off family vibes.
Paul is a living demonstration of his knowledge and competence in both personal training and BJJ instruction. With a patient and supportive approach, I would highly recommend his services.
Body Ethics Gym has honestly made a huge difference to me. I struggled quite badly with anxiety, and walking into a gym used to feel overwhelming—but coming here has helped me overcome that and build real confidence in myself. The staff are genuinely supportive, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you never feel judged. It’s more than just a gym, it’s a place that’s helped me mentally as well as physically.
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!
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.
