What members say
Laurie JudgeGoogle review The trainers really know their stuff and create a great balance between encouraging you to push yourself, without being pushy themselves.
SteveGoogle review You won't find any obnoxious gym stereotypes here, just friendly normal folk.
Kali DennettGoogle review The team is absolutely brilliant, very encouraging and more than happy to adapt things if you’re injured or at a different point in your training to others in a class.
Ben ArmesGoogle review I joined this gym last year after getting frustrated at myself for the endless cycle of joining a new gym, going for a bit, not know what I’m doing and paying without attending for the rest of the year.
ElGoogle review Knowing there are people who genuinely notice, support, and encourage your progress helps more than I can say.
Phineas SmithGoogle review RB5 is an amazing gym that got me very comfortable in a gym and training environment, with noticeable improvements within three months.
Spot the difference
Commercial gyms vs RB5
Commercial gyms: Queue for the squat rack.
RB5: Your session's booked. The kit's waiting.
Commercial gyms: A ten minute induction, then you're on your own.
RB5: A coach plans every session with you.
Commercial gyms: Wander round wondering what to do.
RB5: A plan built round your week.
Commercial gyms: Mirrors, egos and grunting.
RB5: No egos. No pressure. Just friendly normal folk.
Commercial gyms: A different PT every few months, if you pay extra.
RB5: The same core team. Never freelancers.
Commercial gyms: Stop going and nobody notices.
RB5: Miss a session and your coach notices.
Commercial gyms: Hundreds of strangers with headphones in.
RB5: A team that knows your name.
Commercial gyms: Paying for a gym you don't use.
RB5: Turning up because you'd miss the people.

Who runs it
Ricky Berry
Owner and head coach
Meet the owner
Before RB5, Ricky worked in a national training role for one of the UK's biggest health clubs. RB5 is his own studio, and it is built the other way round.
It is small enough that the coaches know everyone, and run by a core team rather than freelancers, so you get the same standard every time.
Questions people ask us
Something else on your mind? Ask us on WhatsApp and a real person will answer.
Ask your own questionHow do I get started?
Send us a WhatsApp message. Tell us what you'd like help with and we'll set up a chat and a one to one consultation. From there we build a plan round your week.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. Our members range in age and fitness, and every one of them started somewhere. We check where you are at your consultation and build the plan from there, at a pace that suits you.
What if I have aches, pains or an injury?
Tell us at your consultation. The team is used to working with people coming back from injury, and as a small studio we can give you the space to train at your own pace.
Is it personal training or group training?
Both. Your sessions are personal training in a small group, with a coach who plans your programme. Group classes run alongside it.
When are you open?
Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm, and Saturday 7am to 12pm. We are closed on Sundays.
