Paul is a fantastic personal trainer who has a wealth of knowledge across many disciplines such as martial arts, organic food and more. Couldn’t recommend higher, great holistic approach to health and fitness.
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! ☺️
Great trainer, very knowledgeable and listens to what you want to work/improve on. Highly recommended!
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!
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.
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'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 🙏
Great training facility. Very friendly helpful staff. Good equipment and functional area 💪💪
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.
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.
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.
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!
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

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 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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
It's lovely and clean and has a brand new look since i was last there. Glad to be back
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
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!
Quality gym,run by Shane and Co who know what it's all about. Well equipped,.
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.
