What Our Members Say
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.
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

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
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 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.

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.

Extremely knowledgeable & helpful.Paul has allowed me to unlock a large portion of my potential, very grateful.

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 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.
This is one of the best gyms I’ve been to in the area.I feel comfortable here, the equipment is great and the way it’s laid out really helps to make my work outs smoother. The staff are all Lovely and the gym is clean. I recommend trying this place out.
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 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!
Great gym with great trainers and a great atmosphere. It has all the facilities and equipment you need. Having trained at various gyms over the years body ethics is by far the stand out gym in the area. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to join or change gym.
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!!
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.
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'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 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 👍
Paul is a lovely guy, very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. His sessions are fun and very productive.
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 this gymmm🤩 especially Lisa!! Thanks for always looking after me 🖤
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.
Awesome environment, passionate staff and friendly environment. The equipment is fantastic, huge range of professional PT's who specialise in unique fitness goals and classes. Can't recommend enough!
Paul has coached me for the last 2 years he is a fantastic personal trainer
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!
Quality gym,run by Shane and Co who know what it's all about. Well equipped,.
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!
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!
