Did some training sessions with Reinaldo. He’s a really great trainer - knowledgable, supportive and professional in his approach. I got a great start on my fitness journey - thanks Reinaldo!

Radost is an excellent trainer. She’s knowledgeable, motivating and always pushes me to do my best. Her workouts are challenging but fun, and she tailors every session to my specific goals. I’ve seen huge improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness thanks to her. She always makes every session feel rewarding. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to achieve your fitness goals!

**Sign up process**

I contacted Motive8 to inquire about personal training, as the gym in my apartment building is operated by them. The sign-up form was quite detailed, asking about my fitness goals and preferences. The next day, I received a call from Filip, who explained all the available training plans in detail. After our 30-minute conversation, I had to choose between a few introductory plans. I selected one, paid the fee, and was assigned a personal trainer.

**Training**

Motive8 assigned Radost Gospodinova as my personal trainer. She discussed my preferences for training times and goals, and we then set the training dates. She was always punctual and easy to reach before or after our sessions. Radost is a very patient trainer who focuses on building a strong foundation. She helped me with essential exercises, teaching me proper form for using equipment, encouraging me to push myself harder in each set and repetition, and motivating me to be more consistent in the gym. She would send me a list of exercises with detailed instructions on WhatsApp so I could continue my training at the gym when I am not training with her.

Overall, I enjoyed the training provided by Radost and the services offered by the Motive8 team.

One area where Motive8 could improve is the pricing for their personal training.

I’ve been training with Samantha for a few months now - couldn’t recommend her more! She’s been great at creating tailored weekly plans for me and motivating me to stay on track, whilst also educating me on the best way to achieve my goals. She’s also a warm and bubbly individual which makes my sessions even more enjoyable!

I have been attending PT lessons delivered by Junior since May 2024, and I can confidently say the classes are worth every penny. Junior is an amazing trainer—extremely knowledgeable and always motivating me to challenge myself. He tailors each lesson to my physical and mental condition and has also designed a self-training plan to maintain my progress.

Before attending the lessons, I thought I could handle weight training on my own, but Junior has made a significant difference. With his guidance, I am able to maximise the impact of every training set and properly activate the right muscles. I highly recommend anyone who wishes to improve their physical wellbeing or muscle strength to join the PT programme.

I really enjoy the weekly yoga classes at Thames quarter gym. Such a relaxing thing to do after a tiring workday. Specially Ioana is super good and so professional. Wish these classes were offered more times a week. Thanks Ioana for the super relaxing sessions!!

I hightly recommend Motive8 personal trainers. Both me and my wife had a great experience signing up and having our consultation call. Junior White, our PT, created a tailored training set for our needs and goals and we are loving the results so far.

My experience of yoga has been amazing and all the credit goes to Loana. She make it's look effortless and sets an encouraging environment.

The gym induction session by the motive8 Team representative was excellent. The instructor was courteous, patient and professional.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe Sansum as my fitness coach, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the moment we started, it was clear that his passion for fitness and commitment to helping others achieve their goals was unmatched.

One of the things that impressed me most about Joe was his personalized approach to training. He took the time to understand my specific fitness goals, as well as any limitations or challenges I faced, and developed a customized workout plan that was both challenging and achievable. He pushed me to my limits while always ensuring proper form and safety.

What truly sets Joe apart is not just his expertise, but also his friendly demeanor. From our very first session, he made me feel welcomed and comfortable, creating a positive and supportive environment that motivated me to give my all.

Not only did I see significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness level, but I also gained confidence in myself and my abilities. Joe's friendly and approachable nature, combined with his expertise, make him an exceptional personal trainer who genuinely cares about your success. If you're looking for someone who will not only challenge you but also support you every step of the way, Joe is the perfect choice!

Training with Issac. Excellent pt who offers varied and challenging sessions which keep pushing me. A great communicator who has fresh ideas. It’s early days but looking forward to tangible results!

The induction was very informative and helpful. I decided to try PT with motive8 as well and have been really happy with Filip’s professionalism and his dedication to a challenging training that fits my hectic schedule. I’ve learned a lot about how to safely train in my new gym and the PT sessions have left me feeling stronger and more empowered, positively impacting all areas of my life. Highly recommend motive8 and Filip’s PT for your fitness goals!

My partner and I joined the weekly yoga classes at Sienna House a few months ago.

We were new to the neighborhood and would like to expand our social circle, meet some friends there. While we were at the yoga class, the tutor questioned us a few times if we can understand English, and if we cannot understand the classes, we will be banned from joining the classes. We worked hard, and paid attention, but the tutor was very rude and she did not welcome us to the class just because we were not proficient in English.

We were slightly aggrieved with the experience, and we heard from our neighbors that she handpicked residents that she favors to stay in the class. Well thank you, that all makes sense now.

Amazing 1:1 training experience with Junior White - he is honestly the best trainer I have come across - he knows his work inside out. He knows the importance of understanding his client's psychology and is a great motivator. I have seen my physical health and emotional well-being improve since starting 1:1 sessions with Junior. He has helped me build strength and has supported me tremendously in realising what I can achieve in the gym. Highly recommend Junior as a trainer. I would also like to give a shoutout to Filip who was a pleasure to speak to when I called motive8 to find out about personal training - he listened and truly understood my bespoke needs and was very kind and encouraging. Thank you Filip and thank you Junior, I never thought I would enjoy working out!

After requesting a gym induction session at short notice. Motive 8 went to special lengths to ensure that they could meet my busy schedule. Already very familiar with gym equipment and a keen sports person, I found the 1-2-1 session with the friendly and knowledgeable Raymond was incredibly helpful. He spent additional time with me and swiftly identified some areas for improving strength and posture and sent me a detailed exercise programme. Thanks guys! 🙏

Motive8 run the induction to our onsite gym. Alex who led the induction was knowledgeable and very approachable, was happy to answer questions and share knowledge.

Very pleasant, and I would definitely think about getting some personal training in the future.

5 enthusiastic stars. Flip and team made getting my wife and I registered and enrolled with Motive8 a breeze, and were thorough and prompt in their follow-up.
The real treat has been our trainer. Having worked with four other personal trainers over the years, I can say with certainty that Ray has provided the best PT experience I've ever had; he's extremely flexible in working around our schedules, very careful in designing a training plan to accommodate various injuries, and is relentlessly positive and encouraging.

Filip and the team from Motiv8 have been incredibly supportive at our Residents Gym at Thames Quarter, Reading. Responses to general queries are efficient and helpful. The team are able to arrange additional classes and the booking system is really efficient, user friendly and supports our Resident engagement.

We recently worked with Motiv8 on the gym launch within our new Build to Rent offering in Harrow on The Hill, Rob and Filip where fantastic to work with, responded very quickly to our needs and wants, produced a fantastic induction and onboarding process and video, and we are already working with them on the design and standard operating process mapping on our next site.
