“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.”

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 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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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!
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
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!
Paul has been my Jui Jitsu PT for several months now. He’s diligence and meticulous approach to teaching, combined with he’s knowledge/good nature/patience and clear instructions when explaining complex movements is second to none. I can’t recommend Paul highly enough. 5 stars!
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.
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.
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! ☺️
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'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 🙏
Paul is a lovely guy, very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. His sessions are fun and very productive.
Paul has been my personal trainer for four months and has listened to what I want to achieve by styling my workouts around my commitments that will give me the results I seek without over-stretching my capabilities. I have felt more energised and fitter and the monthly photos show how my body shape has improved in just a short time.
Great gym! Kind staff and very welcoming. Well organised and extremely clean environment to be in. Would highly recommend joining 10/10 👍
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.
Great training facility. Very friendly helpful staff. Good equipment and functional area 💪💪
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.
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.
Love this place. Really friendly staff. Great equipment and a really good atmosphere.
Paul has coached me for the last 2 years he is a fantastic personal trainer
Shane and the team are the best in the buisness. There isn't another choice that comes close.
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.
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!!
Paul has been a first class PT from the very start. Super knowledgeable and has helped me to totally transform my life. Highly recommended!
Amazing gym. Everyone is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. The gym is clean and tidy and has a good variety of equipment
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 💕
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’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.
Great gym with a wide variety of equipment and really friendly staff. Always a good atmosphere definitely recommend.
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 .
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!
If you're a woman who's trying to get into the gym and find all the exercise machines, dumbbells etc a little overwhelming, Giulia is your gal! I went from not knowing anything about gym equipment and exercises to exercising consistently 4 times a week!
