Since joining Fitness by Design, I have lost 2kg per week and still enjoyed a full and varied diet. At the previous gym I was involved with, I never lost a pound in two years! The support mechanism at Fitness by Design is impeccable, you feel thoroughly engaged and help is always on hand! Highly recommended.

Since joining I have not only lost 3 stone, I have also become a Fitness by Design junkie! The staff here really encourage you and help you reach your goals. Other members play their part with friendliness. The club is overall a great place to come!
Sasha Edmunds
I started training at the club purely to gain size, little did I know that this would lead to strength training and eventually power lifting. Having recently competed in my first competition I am to progress to National level next year and perhaps international in due course. I believe that with the right effort and dedication, the gym is the perfect place for anyone to achieve their goals and develop themselves as individuals.

I’m a tried many times gym failure! The reason I joined Fitness by Design is because of the mini group training sessions which keep me motivated and interested. It’s too easy to get bored on my own devices but 6 weeks in and still loving it! The beach bikini looks more and more likely as the weeks go on. Roll on summer!

The Power of the Power Plate
I had been very busy tidying up a fairly large area of shelving which was at a low level. It was not until I went to stand up that I realised my back was not going to straighten up. I was in absolute agony and had to resort to painkillers before I could walk normally again.
On my next visit to the gym I was still having a lot of pain but intended to carry on with my usual regime. When I started the treadmill I couldn’t walk at all. Helen realised that I was in great pain and suggested that I used the Power Plate which helped to relieve the pain and after three weeks my back has recovered. My workout in the gym is now absolutely back to normal thanks to this super machine.
Tina Stacey
Since joining Fitness by Design I have followed their healthy eating plan and have regular one to one assessments. I have now lost 1 ½ stone and I feel so much fitter with lots more energy. I am well on my way to achieving my ultimate goal.
Stephen Rendle
I started in march 2009 to loose weight and improve my fitness in advanced for my wedding in 2010. I have lost approximately 1 stone in 2 months. I`m looking forward to continuing with the gym to get more results. Many thanks to all the staff at Fitness by Design. Without their help I could not have achieved the results I have.
Stephen Benson
I am delighted with progress I have made since incorporating the power plate into my Personal Training sessions. Over a 6 week period my fitness level has risen, my blood pressure has dropped to a healthy level, my Body fat percentage has changed from 27% to 23.9% and my weight from 91 to 86kgs. I would highly recommend Fitness by Design and this piece of equipment to anyone.

I joined the gym because I felt unfit and overweight, having had open heart surgery 4 years ago it was important to me to keep in shape. Since joining in July I have lost 14LBS in weight and 5% bodyfat.
I feel so much fitter and glad to be alive and glad to keep coming to Fitness by Design.
Neil James
I’ve been coming to the gym for just under a year. In that time I have lost over 11kgs in weight and 5% body fat. I feel fitter and healthier than ever and people around me have noticed the change in my appearance. All the staff have been really helpful and always treat me as an individual. I would and have recommended the gym to my friends and anyone looking for professional and helpful ways to get fit.
Lee Harrison
Since the 31st of August 2009 I have taken my weight very seriously. I have lost 15kgs with help from the gym and healthy eating. My incentive being my career and life style. Losing my job through being over weight would be a big problem and an insult to myself.
Jill Clarke
I joined the gym in March 2009, to improve my overall fitness. Not only have I lost a few pounds but my body fat has also improved. I find that I have more energy during the day to enjoy my other hobbies too. The staff are very friendly and encouraging so coming to the gym every other day is not a chore, I enjoy it.
Jason Robbins
I started coming to the gym because I didn’t like the way I looked and felt. My first goal was to lose weight and trim down my stomach. I’ve now achieved this first goal losing over a stone. I now feel a lot better about myself. I will definately be sticking with it to reach further goals.

David Byron
When I first started at Fitness by Design, back in May 2009 I weighed at least 17stone. I have lost 2 stone in five months, due to a very easy to follow nutritional plan that was given to me by helpful and friendly staff. I attend the club more often now as I have found it easy to fit into my daily routine and find it very rewarding when I see my results achieved.
Brenda Martin
Since I have been coming I have found a great difference in my back and legs. My legs used to swell but are now back to normal after visiting the gym and especially since using the Power Plate. I look forward to coming to the gym as I love the social side too and I feel generally better all over.
Len Hardcastle
I joined Fitness By Design less than four weeks ago. Since then I have lost 7.7kg (16 ilbs). The staff are all very helpful. I really enjoy coming three times a week and the healthy eating program is easy to follow. My target is to loose another 12.6 kg (2 stone) which I am determined to do. I already feel so much better! Thank you to all the staff at Fitness By Design.
Jim Hooper
Whether as a professional skydiver, war reporter, or security consultant, staying fit has always been important - never more so since passing my 65th birthday. Of the many gyms I've used in the UK and abroad, none has better suited my requirements than Fitness By Design. That it has everything I want in the way of equipment is obviously important, but the best thing is the staff assembled by owner-manager Colin Fricker. Enthusiastic and motivated, they are not just helpful, but genuinely interested in the progress of gym members. Whether you're looking to shed a few pounds or try a bit of body sculpting, there's not a more welcoming or fun team of professionals in North Dorset to do it with.

The Power Plate is a great piece of equipment. It gives you an accelerated workout. It is also excellent when your muscles are soar from a hard workout the day before.
I alternate my Power Plate sessions with my workouts in the gym. The power plate gives you the option to have a good workout in less time.
Peter Baxter
With lots of work commitments it's sometimes hard to find an hour in the day for the gym. The Power Plate is fantastic as an accelerated way to workout. My whole body really feels the benefits. Link it with the gym and the results are awesome.
Ken Tuffin
The Power Plate has allowed me to get a lot more intensity with my training. Increasing my strength in all my muscle groups and increasing flexibility. The continual vibration has caused incredible improvement in my joints increasing and my range of movement.

I joined Fitness by Design in October 2008 with knee, neck and shoulder problems. The knee has heeled and my back is so much better, allowing me to play golf again. I have also lost 8lbs of weight in 3 months on the healthy eating plan. Many thanks to all the team at Fitness by Design.

I started training after I injured my knee. Almost immediately I felt the benefit of using the gym. I went on the six week healthy eating plan and lost a fair amount of weight and feel more toned. Using the Power Plate has also helped my knee joint. Thanks to Fitness by Design

Ian Ware
I started coming to the gym to lose weight and tone up 4 ½ yrs ago, I dropped my weight and lowered my blood pressure successfully. In October 2008 I decided to try and build muscle and embarked on a bulking up programme set by an Instructor with a sensible diet to gain muscle using Maximuscle Supplements. I have gained 3kg in 7 months but my Body fat has dropped. I intend to continue with the support of all the staff to achieve all my goals.
Heather Marsh
I joined Fitness by Design in January. My aim was to lose weight and generally become fitter. I started on the Healthy Eating Plan and have already lost 4kg. Even in this short time my fitness has improved considerably. I am now jogging for 20 minutes on the treadmill and leave the gym feeling energized for the day.
Ann Bathurst
This place has changed my life!
I dropped from a size 20 to a size 10 following Fitness by Designs Healthy eating plan. It was so easy to do and the support from all the staff throughout was fantastic. The gym has such a happy atmosphere and fantastic vibe. I am here to get fit for life.
I cannot recommend this gym enough for its dedicated staff, with their friendly welcoming manner.
