Transform your body with AK active
Hi beautiful ladies out there. if you are struggling with your weight,if you want to get back to the shape and if you want to be active and motivated again like me you need to join AK active ASAP. I have joined the AK active private workout sessions just 2 weeks ago and I’m already shredding the stubborn weight that I was struggling with. I was a member of the best gym in Blackburn and used to be there for more than an hour but I couldn’t able to get any results in 6 months that I got here just by spending 45 minutes in 2 weeks. It doesn’t sound real ya. But this is real. Here they have the best trainers who are experienced and know how to lose weight and get into shape by doing just few workout sessions with you. You wl love it. The friendly atmosphere and helpful team will be there always to help you achieve your dream weight and body shape. You don’t give up they wl get you there. Just keep going.
I’m so very happy that I found you AK active. I’m feeling much better than b4, Happy and healthy. And I really don’t want to miss any of the sessions.

AK gym is totally different than any…

There's loads of help and advice available and it truly is a package of fitness advice fun gym sessions and dietary advice that is second to none! I've never felt so comfortable exercising and look forward to my AK days.Thank you Adam and Kimberley for changing my life
Game changer
“Wish I’d done it sooner .. “
“You’ll not regret it”
“Changed my life “
Reviews that I read when I discovered this was coming to my area..
This is not like any other gym/programme .. sessions are welcoming, supportive and do exactly what you need. This is a programme that you can fit in to life, that allows you to set your own pace, eat the food, change the way you view the food completely and still enjoy life, ..
My social life has not changed at all and I still can have the takeaways. I simply no longer yo yo my way through my hours, days and weeks.
The body confidence programme is all you need to try, to know, this is the place… 6 weeks was enough to know this was enough and yet just the beginning..
13 weeks on and an easy 18lbs down, ( and I’ve never felt more content about Christmas indulgences and how well equipped I am sailing in to January ..
There’s no dragging yourself in to new year resolutions, looking for motivation and wondering if you can master a new diet, finding your mojo .. none of that needed now !
Little Gym Buddies
I joined the Little Gym Buddies Programme 10 weeks ago when my little one was around 9 months old. It took me so long to pluck up the courage to join after seeing the adverts time and time again. Well I only wish I had joined sooner. Kimberley, Adam, Rebecca and the team could not be more helpful and motivating to make you achieve your goals. I lost 8kg in just 10 weeks with a noticable difference and dropping a dress size! Not only did I get the results, it really is like a family. Both me and my son enjoyed the sessions thoroughly, there is no judgement and everyone helps out each other.
The meal plan is very doable unlike other diets making it easier to stick to. I would highly recommened this programme. If it wasnt for going back to work i would definitely be continuing.
Thankyou AK Active for everything
Best gym
Joining AK active 8 weeks ago was the best decision I've made. It's a big family, smiles all around, it's a safe space for ladies who want to get fitter, healthier, happier. The classes are tailor made to push you but also take into consideration any weaknesses we may have. I've dropped some weight but I've gained so much confidence, strength and energy. I've met some amazing people, the trainers are awesome and so are the ladies I've met at the classes.I couldn't be happier. If you're thinking about joining just do it, you won't look back!
Fabulous- DO IT
Honestly, joining will be the best thing you do for yourself. The support is fabulous, the classes are great and the positivity you have after leaving the classes is something else! I’m rubbish with reviews and have no idea what to write but honestly, do it!!
JOIN JOIN JOIN
Totally made the right decision to join this fandabalous group....5* all round does not feel like I'm in a gym or working out which is just what I wanted as I hated exercise... & the results are beginning to show, but it's how I feel about myself that is the biggest change.... try it you won't regret it AK all the way
Just WOW
Wow - what a place. I always thought a gym was a place that was beyond me, due to difficulties walking and other health conditions. How wrong was I - this place is beyond amazing - my walking has improved, I’m stronger, fitter and absolutely love the classes. Fabulous, dedicated instructors who are committed to you and your journey. Amazing place, love everything about it - thank you is not enough - 🙌🥰
I joined AK Active to get fitter
I joined AK Active to get fitter, healthier and stronger. They have certainly exceeded my expectations. Kimberley, Adam and the rest of the team are very supportive. The atmosphere and community spirit of the members are second to none. My only wish is that I joined sooner. A+
Supportive
Friendly, supportive place with amazing community. I feel better not only physically but mentally as well. I wish I was joining earlier
Best thing I’ve ever done
I’ve always been relatively fit but lost my way during and after the pandemic. After gaining weight, feeling sluggish, mentally fatigued and unfit I joined AK April 23. My confidence has sky rocketed, my fitness level is the best it’s ever been and I’ve reached goal weight. AK is a supportive family gym where nobody is judged. More importantly we have an enormous amount of fun.
Little Gym Buddies
I signed up for the little gym buddies 6 week plan. I always lived an active life but having recently had a baby girl I struggled to find the time to do actual proper exercise. Yes, I can go walking with her in a carrier but I missed the buzz of actual HIT gym classes and weight training. I have been to a conventional gym recently but its hard to get a baby sitter on the regular, i could only go every now and again it was more of a chore to do. The AKActive instructors are amazing, I feel like I've known them for years. The environment is perfect, a small group of mums all in the same position and want to regain their confidence. Anything goes, if a baby cries anyone helps to settle them. I love that it's a non judgemental environment and breastfeeding friendly. The instructors help with nutrition and provide weekly check ups to see if you need support. I'm half way through now and look forward to each class, I'll be sad when the 6 weeks are over.
Little gym buddies
I joined their mother and baby 6 weekly programme. I was massively into fitness before getting pregnant but due to IVF treatment I had to refrain from exercise completely. So fast forward 1yr and I've done no exercise and gained 4stone. I was really keen to get back to the gym but at the same time nervous about going due to how I now looked. I'm also exclusively breastfeeding and had no idea how I'd be able to go to my normal gym, so when I saw this programme where you could take babies with you I just couldn't not sign up
I didnt know what to expect having only ever been to a conventional gym before but Kim and Adam are both super friendly and everyone seems to be really supportive. The nutritional support is great and because I've joined a specific group for mums and babies we are all in the same boat. Sometimes the babies cry, sometimes they need feeding and other times they are happy to watch or get involved. Anything goes!
The classes are just like I would have done previously (no going easy on us just because we've had a baby) which is exactly what I wanted. Yes I'm unfit now and can't do lots of stuff I could before but I'm determined to get there again.
I won't lie its not cheap and it is a class based gym only (no conventional free gym) but for me it was my only option and I do enjoy it. My only concerns are, what will I do after the 6 weeks are over?!
Little gym buddies programme
I Joined AK active, after seeing a advert online for there mother and baby programme. I didnt have the childcare to go to a conventional gym and needed to get fit. But really needed the motivation to start and the guidance from a trained instructor but without the price tag of a personal trainer. The programme is brilliant really changed my mindset to excersize I now enjoy it rather than dread it. Its nice that the group of women in the programme are all doing it for the same reasons so I didn't feel uncomfortable at all and the nutritional plan is easy to follow, the trainers are freindly and informative and always on hand. I have no hesitation in recommending this gym to anyone but particularly mums wanting to start there fitness journey after having childeren.
I have been at AK Active fir about 7…
I have been at AK Active fir about 7 weeks now in the first 6 weeks I lost just over 13lbs, I was nervous about joining as I had only ever joined a gym where you keep yourself to yourself, this group was so welcoming and you feel super comfortable from day dot. I have stayed on after the 6 week program it's so nice to finally do something for myself and they are so aware of people struggles and make sure there are alternative exercises to suit everyone I cannot fault them at all and would recommend to anyone x
The team are AK are amazing inspiration.
The team are AK are great, always checking in even when your quiet one, you won't get lots in the group they will always make the effort to check your ok and push you to stay on track and to hit your goals.
The ladies in the groups are also amazing it's like a big family even when you don't get to involved you know they are there if you need anything.
Amazing work done by all ❤️
An amazing experience so far
An amazing experience so far. All the trainers are incredibly helpful and friendly. So, far I have lost half a stone in 4 weeks, without cutting certain types of food out of my diet.
I lost the weight and inches that I needed to, and some more.
I got a nutrition plan from Adam showing how many calories I should have, and suggesting ideas of proteins/carbs etc to eat at each meal. It was nice and easy to follow.
When choosing sessions I could choose early morning, late morning, evening, or a mixture. Lots of classes to chose from. Yes, it was hard at first, my legs hurt, and I felt anxious about going. But, the AK team are so welcoming, and they tailor the sessions to you. They get to know you and your strengths/weaknesses quickly.
Everyone’s journey is different and they recognise this.
The sessions are stretching but achievable and I feel a sense of achievement after each one. The motivation you get is incredible. I find the motivation one of the very best things about AK Active.
I soon went from anxious about the gym, to then looking forward to going, to then it almost becoming addictive!
It speaks volumes that many people, including me, continue with AK Active after the 6 week body confidence course ends. (I’m currently on week 10).
A warm and welcoming team that only has…
A warm and welcoming team that only has your best interests at heart. I did the 6 week body confidence programme and loved every minute! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
