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

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.

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.

It's lovely and clean and has a brand new look since i was last there. Glad to be back

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.


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, 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.

Great training facility. Very friendly helpful staff. Good equipment and functional area 💪💪

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 trainer, very knowledgeable and listens to what you want to work/improve on. Highly recommended!


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.

Paul Johnson (EXPERT PERSONAL TRAINER ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) provides great personal training experience and accommodates to your exact requirements, he worked with me to greatly improve my strength and stamina and cardio abilities, he taught me what to eat for my diet and he taught me the correct and exact training I needed with the correct way to do the exercise for me to improve day in and day out, Paul Johnson has got years of experience and is an EXPERT PERSONAL TRAINER, I RECOMMEND PAUL JOHNSON TO EVERYONE 300% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



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 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!


Great gym! Kind staff and very welcoming. Well organised and extremely clean environment to be in. Would highly recommend joining 10/10 👍

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 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.

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 only go to the gym's small group training sessions and the PTs are great for motivation, very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent staff too.

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

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.

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!

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 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
