Shapeshifters

A brilliant team - Adele, Haider and Junior are lovely people and so helpful and welcoming.A great place to kickstart a fitness journey if you're a complete newbie like me. I'd hardly ever been in a gym, didn't pay any attention to my diet...(basically a world-class couch potato) ..and the structure of a realistic diet plan and guided training was exactly what I needed. I would never have imagined I'd have the energy or motivation that I have since starting the programme.Adele was fantastic at explaining the plan for my 8-week programme and keeping it straightforward. The diet plan provided is strict but simple...and a total life changer when it comes to increased energy levels and feeling like you actually want to work out. You need willpower 100% but the team are really encouraging and keep you accountable. I liked that it wasn't faddy or awkward to shop for/cook etc... and you are never hungry. The shakes might not be everyone's cup of tea (cup of shake?), but I found the chocolate flavour really nice and they are so easy to make!Having my measurements tracked through the programme was really motivating and completing the health surveys changed how I think about my overall health and well-being.Haider was my main trainer and was brilliant. He was patient, explained everything in each session and was so good at pushing me to give that extra effort when it felt like I was at my limit. He gave me a plan to carry on with after the programme and was really encouraging every step of the way.The sessions are challenging (I really felt how unfit I was!!), but you'll leave each one feeling good and ready to get stronger. They cover core strength training and weight training so it's varied and you get a good recovery time between sessions.I started the programme hoping to learn how to work out, get healthier and build my confidence about going to a gym as a beginner. Shapeshifters 100% provided all that. I've lost fat (some old fave jeans are back in the game), feel stronger and overall so much healthier, physically and mentally.Would recommend to anyone who's nervous about going to the gym or just not sure where to start with their health and fitness, it's definitely worth it!

Google won’t let me post the review in full. The full review will be on their instagram. It is complete honest based on my experience.I have just completed 12 week tans4m program.My journey with shapeshifter started with a consultation with Adele who was very honest & clear that in order to transform I needed to be committed, it wouldn’t be easy but I will meet my goals which were to lose body mass & toning up in preparation of my wedding. I really appreciated this directness. There was no big sell & at no point did I ever feel like I was being mislead or coerced. I was given time to go away & think about it. For me it wasn’t a hard decision I was ready for change.Communication with Adele has always been excellent & her knowledge & experience shines though. She is extremely passionate about what she does & relishes at helping people. She is very fair & supportive. Not to mention always friendly & welcoming.I was sent some questionnaires to complete prior to started with the program & again asked to repeat these at the halfway point.

Having reached a place of not knowing how to get out of a complete hump in my physique and fitness, I came across Shapeshifters on Google. It read like my saving chance to pull myself out of this hole. Having signed up to an 8 week programme I've been so delighted with the experience, guidance and results, that I extended my PT sessions a further 6 weeks. The knowledge and personalised plans produced by the team are top class. Adele has been immensely supportive in guidance throughout the plan, always there to offer support and answer questions with in depth knowledge you can trust. With regular check-ins the plan focuses on remaining on point to get results, and is tweaked or adjusted if necessary to get the best possible out. My PT sessions with Gary occur twice a week and are consistently driven to build my physique and beat those fatty deposits! They are challenging but immensely enjoyable as I know they are doing what's intended and getting me the results I'd longed for. Yes this was a programme for a specific time period but the knowledge and healthy eating plan is mine to own now taking this forward. I'm armoured with the best (and most) I've ever eaten with an easy to follow plan, and I now appreciate how my training needs to focus with consistency and time and attention for achieving results. The team have not only equipped me for maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle but also given me back my happiness.....I feel like me again!I'd highly recommend to anyone in need of guidance and support to make healthy and sustainable changes to their diet and fitness.No fads here, just commitment in a tailored and fully supportive environment.

Just finished two years at Shapeshifters. I trained under Adele and what sets her aside from the rest is the level of communication and dedication she offers her clients. From the very first day her knowledge shone through. She changes your way of thinking about food and exercise which stays with you even after you're not being watched over. Her no-nonsense, holistic/scientific, and knowledgeable approach really makes you understand what you're doing and why, which helps you to stay on track. The training and nutrition plans offered are tailored to your requirements and goals. Adele is always on hand to answer questions and gives plenty encouragement along the way. Her detailed approach to fitness plans exceeded my expectations. She is that trainer that will go the extra mile for her clients provided they show equal dedication. I can't say it doesn't take some dedication so don't assume paying for a PT instantly entitles you to improvement. I think anyone who is serious about transforming their body should sign up with Shapeshifters, you won’t regret it. Thank you Shapeshifters, especially Adele!

Finished a 16 week programme with Shapeshifters with PTs Junior and Adele and it has been transformative. Adele’s holistic approach to my diet and supplements meant all my IBS symptoms disappeared which has significantly improved my quality of like. Monthly check-ins meant I was able to track and measure my progress. And the training sessions themselves were challenging but fulfilling. I’ve learnt enough to be confident by myself at the gym.

I highly recommend the Shapeshifters studio. I just finished my 8 weeks programme, and I wish I could have more weeks. It was both challenging and rewarding at the same level. Definitely, although exhausted I always left the studio feeling way better than when I arrived.Since my first contact with Adele I received plenty of information and attention. My Personal Training sessions and nutrition plan were really good and planned to help me to lose weigh and gain lean mass. I'm happy with my results (all my measures improved in 8 weeks time) and all support that I had during my time there. Many thanks Shapeshifters!

So like many being bored during lockdown caused me to pile on the pounds and I was worried about my general health, so I made 2 decisions, first was to get healthy again and the second was to choose a gym that was going to help me achieve my results. Shapeshifers are based in Birmingham and I live in Coventry, but I was working in London so I had to make on most occasions a 2 hour commute from London Euston to Selly Oak.My advice is if you are committed to your goals then Adele, Gary, Matt and the team will help you achieve your results. I'm 47 and arguably I'm healthier and fitter than when I was in my 20's.. So if you're thinking about joining then go for it, and in 3 months time you can have your friends and family praising how good you look.

I feel good!!!What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Just completed 12 weeks of the best diet, training and mentally in a better place. My initial assessment with Adele really gave me the assurance I needed and she answered all my questions. The nutritional plan was easy to follow. (YOU have to stick to it, if you want results) Any additional support I needed Adele was there. My PT Haider was so focused on what areas needed to be trained. What a fabulous guy he is. He really put me through my paces and I'm not disappointed with the results. He really does know how to get the best out of you. Whilst remaining professional at all times, Haider is a good listener too. We all may experience off days but with his support and guidance I was back on track.My relationship with food is much better, I'm sleeping better and most of all I feel like I've got a spring in my step. Highly recommend Shapeshifters. I can't wait to continue my journey forward.Lots of gratitude to Shapeshifters.
