“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.”

Having not been to gym for 5 years I’d lost confidence and a lot of muscle and my mobility was declining. I started PT with Shane 6 weeks ago and the difference has been life changing. Shane is so incredibly knowledgeable and supportive and gives me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone. I have seen great results already and my mobility has already improved and my knee pain has disappeared. I am loving the gym. It’s such a friendly and inclusive place. I love 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’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
Amazing gym. Everyone is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. The gym is clean and tidy and has a good variety of equipment
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! ☺️
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!
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'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.
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
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!
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
Great Gym! Friendly Staff, 100% have a look at the PT programmes and Classes! Something for every ability!
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 :)
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
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 place. Really friendly staff. Great equipment and a really good atmosphere.
Extremely knowledgeable & helpful.Paul has allowed me to unlock a large portion of my potential, very grateful.
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 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!
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🙌
Great gym with good facilities and a strong community feel. Everyone’s friendly, and the staff are helpful.
Paul has coached me for the last 2 years he is a fantastic personal trainer
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’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.
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.
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 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.
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!!
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.
Body Ethics is a great gym. I have been coming here for PT sessions with Giulia, and she’s amazing! She’s very knowledgeable and has been really supportive and helpful with giving me that extra push I needed.I’ve genuinely enjoyed every session, not just the workouts, but also the positive environment she creates. She’s helped me build confidence, be more consistent, and make real progress. I can’t recommend her enough.
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.
Quality gym,run by Shane and Co who know what it's all about. Well equipped,.
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 is a lovely guy, very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. His sessions are fun and very productive.
Great training facility. Very friendly helpful staff. Good equipment and functional area 💪💪
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
Great gym with a wide variety of equipment and really friendly staff. Always a good atmosphere definitely recommend.
