I first stepped into the Lions Den in November 2021 for my first ever personal training session with my older cousin, Jay. Nervous was not the word for how I felt and I was pretty convinced that this would probably be my one and only session, as I severely lacked confidence and did not believe I could possibly be any good at anything. Little did I know that I'd just done something that my future self would later thank me for. Now into 2024 and 4 and a half stone lighter, I can now say that stepping into the gym that day was the best decision I've ever made. I have made some lifelong friendships that have been a blessing throughout this journey and have kept me going even on the days where training is just that little bit harder. The energy and welcoming vibe that this place gives and the goal it represents is an absolute joy to experience, I couldn't recommend it enough. The person I was before being part of this, I no longer recognise. The support from both Jay and Chad is constant and never wavers, because when you succeed, they succeed with you. I have the extra privilege to call them both family, and I will be forever grateful for the gift they have given me. If you're ready to invest in you and be part of something that lifts people up to higher levels, then book your session and experience it for yourself,  I couldn't recommend it enough.

I'm still yet to meet someone who hasn't been absolutely buzzing after a slam ball sesh!

Training at Diamond in the Rough has been an absolute game changer for me. It’s a place that puts your well-being and improvement first.. And surrounds with you positive, like-minded people who all want the same thing. I would encourage anybody who’s unsure or nervous to just step through the door and give it a try, you’ll be glad you did. Credit to Jay and Chad for creating something unique and showing a genuine care for members.

DITR - Diamond In The Rough What can I say! THE best thing I’ve ever done for myself. You might walk in there on your own but you will train, grow and thrive TOGETHER. I’ve honestly never been surrounded by such a diverse, yet similar group of people. All ages, all backgrounds all abilities. All on their own journey but all working towards a goal. To be healthier, fitter, stronger and have fun along the way. Jay and Chad are unique. With a bond so tight and an endless supply of support, knowledge, technique and care, you’re in the safest and strongest hands. Huge shout out to these absolute power houses for creating their dream this year and building a fantastic new training facility. The passion and drive to share their love for fitness and provide a safe space for the community is both incredible and admirable. I have never felt more at home than I do with these wonderful humans. There is no judgement, there are no pre requisites. You turn up, you give it your best, and you leave feeling out of this world and hungry for more! Fact!

Jay and Chad provide a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere that the kids thrive in. The gym is absolutely first class. The boxing progress the kids have made is remarkable. On top of this, l team Chad boxing has boosted my son's confidence massively. Honestly, your kids will love it here.

I have recently been attending DITR (power hour classes) and have been thoroughly impressed with the new facility and its amenities. Both Cha & Jay are friendly and welcoming, and the cleanliness of the facility is top-notch. The range of equipment is extensive & caterers for all fitness levels. Additionally, the variety of classes offered has helped me stay motivated and engaged in my workouts. I highly recommend DITR to anyone looking for a positive and inclusive experience on their fitness & wellbeing journey.

If you're looking for somewhere to train there is no better place to go. Top class facilities , clean and welcoming. Top class coaches, Jay and Chad know exactly what they are talking about and have put the hours in which shows this. They can adapt to any ability and make the session fun, but also challenging at the same time, which is perfect for anyone wanting to better themselves and achieve their goals. They have a range of classes up there from men's to women's to even mixed classes so you can also train with your partner. The buzz you get as you walk into the gym is great, but once you have finished, the buzz as you leave is even greater and I can guarantee you will be going back. Just do it 👊 💎 🦁 🥊 🏋🏻‍♀️

Just a message to anyone who’s not already going to the diamond……..GO!!!! Because you won’t be disappointed! There’s no place like it!!! I’ve been to a few gyms over the years but stuck at none of them cos there full of arseholes sat on their phones or posing in the mirror…. None of that in the diamond 💎 I’ve been going to chads before the diamond opened, where I met the nicest, most caring group of people I’ve ever met. I’m a 51 year old plasterer & over the years it’s took it toll on me….3 back operations & both shoulders operated on, before I met jay chad & janie I thought I was past keeping fit…how fuckin wrong I was…2 years on & im still hard at it, and never been so fit!!!

The Diamond In The Rough. It is community. It is oneness. It is bringing people together, helping them to reach new heights. Walking through the doors is like being welcomed into a family. Friendly faces and positive individuals all there to uplift and inspire one another. It is impossible not to leave in a better mental and physical state than when you arrived. The classes are structured to get the very most out of your time in the gym and are adaptable for all capabilities. Mind, body and spirit. There is no place like the diamond
