VANA - Bristol

Craig Turner

The perfect place to rediscover your love for training!
I have been training for 14 years but ultimately lost my love for it over the last few years. I went to vana and had a chat with Ben who ignited the drive to do better and get fitter again. I signed up and never looked back. The metta program was perfectly designed and gave me clear work out plans and tracking ability. I’ve had the pleasure of training with all the staff members and their knowledge and experience was so valuable! From proper form and technique to dietary and supplementation they took the time to go through it all.
The gym environment they have created is great for all! From experienced trainers to first time gym goers, everyone is friendly and respectful to each other.
The equipment they have available is top class everything you would ever need has been thought of.

My only regret is that I can’t continue to train there as I am moving away.

But huge thank you to Ben, Tommy, Shelby and Ryan for making me love training again!

My experience at Trained By BV was so positive, and I always enjoyed my workouts here. The only thing I regret is that I did not join sooner! It is undoubtedly one of the few gym environments in Bristol where you don`t have to stress about how crowded it will be when you get there or the lack of professional machines. People are also more aware of the time, and are willing to share the machines with others (although this will rarely be the case). Plenty of dumbells and some of the best machines I tried. The hack squat machine is not completely vertical so takes off the pressure on your back and shoulders, and just feels like it's high quality, like the rest of the machines. There is also a variety of grips for training upper body. It is super clean and the light is great. As a woman, I definitely felt integrated and empowered training in this gym. People who want to focus on hypertrophy training will just love it. Highly recommended!

Ben’s attention to detail is incredible. He has done a great job keeping me motivated after I set my goals on day 1. Was expecting good results to take 3-6 months, but hit my targets within 8 weeks of training here. Now have set new targets and am well on the way to achieving them with Ben’s help. Yes it is expensive but it is worth every penny!

Sparkling clean gym focused on providing a quality experience, not on the quantity of members it can squeeze in. As such, this space never feels crowded and there are no queues for equipment (which is especially important during these pandemic times!). Each of the PTs are super knowledgeable about all things fitness and nutrition, and are passionate about their work. As well as being total guns at their jobs, they’re also the friendliest guys ever, and will remember you by name and make you feel totally welcome every time you pop by. Although they do memberships, I would recommend getting a trainer to get the max out of this place. I have been training with Micah, and he is absolutely fantastic. In just six weeks I’m already seeing (and feeling) such a difference! 💪 Just like the PTs, the equipment is the best of the best too. Bonus - there is an on-site cafe whipping up the most delicious post-workout shakes! Honestly couldn’t recommend this facility any more highly.

Best gym experience…
I have never felt more included in any kind of gym environment! The staff are top tier and have a great attitude towards not only helping people, but bringing a great experience to working out! Additionally, all facilities were clean and easy to use.
Keep it up 🙂

The only gym you'll need if you're serious about your goals.

The personal trainers are highly experienced, knowledgeable and motivated to help and encourage you to work towards your goals in a professional, friendly and intimate environment.

For me, receiving support and encouragement in a one to one setting, where the trainers are as invested into my journey as I am, added huge value to achieving my personal goals , held me accountable and made the whole experience a pleasure!
