Steven Rooney Fitness Academy Reviews 36

just finished my 6 weeks here and I've lost 12lb. everyone is friendly and Steve is very helpful. the training is tough but gets results. highly recommend

This programme gave me the perfect start and I lost 20lbs in six weeks, getting me well on the way to my target. The recipe plans were excellent and the app easy to use along with excellent peer support.

Almost 2 years ago I decided to join Steve after seeing a Facebook ad.
I found the sessions really hard, but everyone was so awesome! Other members were helping me with the exercises, Ste cracking jokes. By week 3 I was being offered lifts to and from sessions so I didn’t have to depend on the bus.
The people here are truly genuine and good hearted. Ste and Sarah really care about you. Yeah they push you hard and don’t take excuses, but if you’re like me - weight piling on, always blaming time pressures, difficulty moving, better things to watch on TV!! - then the kick they give is what you need.
I can say from experience too that when you genuinely need support they are there. At the moment I’m a silent member, my health has deteriorated in the last 12 months and I’ve felt I needed to step back. But I still connect with the group on social media, Ste is there always waiting for me to come back, and I get to share in the success and the motivation to get healthy all the other members share with one another everyday xxx

Ste Rooney fitness academy kept popping up on my Facebook. I thought I was to old unfit and overweight to do anything like that.
I filled the enquiry form, I felt anxious, I got a fast response asking when I was free to chat. Ste was very professional and reassuring he asked what I wanted to achieve. He discussed fully how the programme worked and how I had to be accountable for my fitness journey, with his and Sarah's support.
I was still hesitant, ste did not push me, he encouraged me to think why I had contacted him.
I suffer with depression and anxiety I struggle with social gatherings and leaving our house alone. This was a life changing decision, I signed up, i received a lovely supportive welcome and almost died doing the training. It is hard, but after I felt so proud of myself, I had a few wobbles but ste was great. When I had an ear infection he put my challenge on hold for two weeks till I recovered.
I feel I have been given a new release on life
it's hard it's fun, it's rewarding, it's changed my outlook on life and made me accountable for my own weight loss journey. "No Bullshit"!!! Straight talking, fun supportive, just take the step ste and Sarah are amazing 👊

Can't rate Steve and Sarah high enough. I joined them for the 6 week challenge and stayed with them for nearly 2 years (thats how good it is).
I started at 240lbs, unfit, unable to jog 400m....I was a wreck.
The 6 week challenge was hard, the training new to me, accountability was something I haven't had in a while...it worked. Over my time with them I lost 40lbs, but thats not the whole story, I gained confidence again, I gained my fitness, I re found my competitiveness and enjoyment of being active.
Steve and Sarah help and encourage, along with the group who are all awesome and utterly welcoming to newcomers.

Only negative.....Sarah's taste in music is terrible (sorry Sarah), however, when Sarah has her back turned and Steve gets his hands on music selection, you're in for a treat!!

10/10 would recommend.
10/10 would be part of the group again.
10/10 absolute value for money.

Now training for me 2nd half marathon of the year, all thanks to these two awesome people.

Ive been training with Steven Rooney Fitness Academy now for nearly 8 weeks. Ive waited to write this review as some reviews can be rushed based on first impressions. I am a 50 year old with a keen eye on maintaining a decent level of fitness but like many, the thought of a gym doesn't appeal for many reasons. Lack of equipment available, to many ego's feel conscious that you can't just do a session without being watched or judged (everybody thinks they know better when you just want a quiet workout) and sometimes when your knackered at the end of a workout you just want to throw yourself to the floor to recover for a minute ( not likely in a gym) I heard about Steven through the grapevine and I needed some motivation because self workouts at home were being put back by the day. From the minute I spoke to Steve, he listened to what my goal was, listened to what my objective was, and not what he wanted out of this. I won't deny the first session turning up was a little nerve wracking but those nerves soon went. I realised that Steve had created a unique environment where yes, we were here to improve fitness and wellbeing and let's face that does require effort on all parts, but more importantly where I felt like I wasn't being judged just supported, I want being "beasted" just encouraged and if I need to collapse in a heap at the end of a session we'll that's exactly what I did, and still do now. No egos, no pressure just like minded people supporting each other achieve their goals with the expert guidance of Steven. 8 weeks in. Energy levels increased, body shape changing, improved fitness and still going. But more importantly the feeling of support is immense from the rest of the group and Steve wouldn't have it any other way. I wish I'd started earlier. If your a sceptic like me...don't be. Speak to Steve. He will listen....take the first step, you won't regret it.

I joined the academy to get back into shape before my wedding. I did the 6 week challenge and was able to achieve what I set out to do - lose those inches. Before joining I had a chat with Ste about what my goals were, my challenges in relation to diet and exercise and the plan if I wished to join. He was open and honest about everything and came across as knowledgeable and professional. The academy has enabled me to take control of my diet and gain a level of fitness that I thought I would never see again. The classes are challenging and fun and the people in this group make it a community of positivity and encouragement . I decided to keep on as a member after the 6 weeks. I would recommend Steven Rooney Fitness Academy to anyone looking to improve not only their physical fitness and diet but mental fitness too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely fantastic Team
The help and support is crucial to someone like me who hasn’t moved in years
Nothing is to much trouble
5 Star 👍👍👍

I had always wanted to be fitter and healthier but like so many others, I made excuses and never committed myself. After seeing Ste’s advert on Facebook I bit the bullet and made contact. Right from the start I was encouraged and given ways to change my lifestyle for the better. As of writing I’m now 26 pounds lighter and fitter than I’ve ever been all thanks to Ste, Sarah and the rest of our team. Looking forward to continuing my journey 👍🏻

I joined the group nearly a year ago - best thing I’ve done for a long time. Apart from losing weight,(and keeping it off), I’m much stronger and fitter and feel much more positive about myself.

Ste and Sarah are very approachable and knowledgeable, as they guide you through the sessions, as well as providing 1:1 nutritional advice and encouragement. I love training outside for most of the year, (we train inside during the winters months). Sessions are varied, challenging and well organised to ensure you are getting a holistic workout.
The group is very welcoming, there’s plenty of humour and we all work at our own pace, with no judging of others. A safe, supportive and fun community. Give it a try!

Hi I joined Steven Rooney fitness team feeling very insecure about myself and suffer with hip pain so I never did any exercise until I joined and ste made me feel at ease showing me different methods to relieve the pain am also 2 stone down from starting and am happy I joined a great team who all support each other from day 1 am now on n my 17 th week and am continuing my journey and hopefully going to be a lot healthier and confident so thank you for all you do I appreciate it

Started a couple of weeks ago. Looking to reduce weight. Steve called me at the agreed time and we discussed about my lifestyle and from that he did a plan for me to achieve. I didnt think that Calorie Counting was for me but I persevered with it and discovered it was a great tool to have as well as the 45 minute exercise that is done in the park- dont worry if your unable to do it - he will assist you with another excercise that is suitable for you. Since starting, just over a week ago I had managed to lose 4kg of mass from my body.

I was 50 overweight and very unfit and having done every diet under the sun but never any exercise I nervously joined up for the 6 week challenge. I lost 18lb in that time and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it so much so 2 years on and I'm still there. I honestly can't praise Ste, Sarah and the team highly enough the thought of walking into a gym always scared me but here at the academy there's people of all ages, sizes and abilities that welcome and support you, you train HARD! but have a laugh while you're doing it and always walk away with a smile on your face. The diet side of things has totally changed my mind set all those "diets" I was doing for all those years I was just doing as I was told I wasn't thinking about what I was doing, sounds silly but I didn't understand about carbs and protein and all the other things you need to lose weight and get fit but now thanks to ste I actually know what I'm doing and trust me when you're armed with the right tools it makes it a little bit easier.

Having tried various gyms in the past and being rubbish at motivating myself, I thought I'd give this a go. The friendliness within the group and the support from Steve and Sarah is brilliant. The classes are hard work, but thoroughly enjoyable and yield real results. I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking to lose weight or just to get fitter.

Unfortunately I am writing this review after receiving an email this morning.
I contacted this company with interest and was promised a call the following evening. I didn't receive one at the promised time so contacted them half hour later to be told.. oh sorry we forgot. I said I would have a think and maybe arrange another time. I am a nervous person and feel anxious about joining anything new so was horrified when I received an email this morning with the title...Stop talking shit. The email was full of vile references to looking like a sausage roll and even spoke about gym users as wankers. Safe to say I will not be joining this fitness academy if they think its OK to send emails like that to people they don't even know!

Today has been the last day of my 6 weeks bootcamp and to say I’ve enjoyed this is an understatement. Not only have I lost 14lb, but the energy I have now within myself is something I haven’t had since my 20’s! (I’m 46). If you want to feel healthy in your body and mind please get in touch with Steve or Sarah. They will help you with everything from coaching to nutrition, I for one would like to thank them both very much

I think it was a Friday night, a wine in one hand and chocolate in the other telling myself the famous sentence "diet starts Monday". I'd seen Steven Rooney academy pop up a few times on social media, so with a bit of dutch courage I'd filled out the form for the 6 week challenge. Ste got in touch a few days later and I'm so glad he did. I was nervous and slightly embarrassed to admit my eating habits to him but there was no judgment. I started the following Monday and from the first session I was hooked, I loved it. Both Ste and Sarah are truly welcoming and want you to succeed. Dont get me wrong, the sessions can be tough but you'll soon see how your fitness changes and you'll be super proud of yourself with the positive encouragement ste, Sarah and the team give you! In total I lost 18lbs within the 6 week and Im stronger both physically and mentally. It doesn't matter what level your fitness is at you just need to be dedicated and motivated and Ste and Sarah will back you all the way!

A fantastic trainer, very patient and love supporting everyone in there journey.

Excellent fitness sessions. Steven and Sarah always helpful, supportive and keep you motivated. Gave me the push I needed to get back into fitness again. They make the sessions accessible to everyone and there is a good bunch of regulars at the sessions to help you if you need it. Plus it is very sociable and lots of people at different stages of their fitness journey who help each other out.

5 stars! I would recommend to all. Ste and Sarah are highly motivating with a professional and approachable manner. The group exercise classes are great and there are morning and afternoon sessions to suit people’s work commitments. There is also an offer of further bespoke support with nutrition, which is not readily available from other PTs. I am already seeing visible progress. Other people’s weight loss and fitness improvement journeys are celebrated, which adds to a supportive and encouraging community feel.
