“I turned 60 last year and suffer badly with arthritis in my knees. I have been a member for almost a year now and having never stepped foot inside a gym before. I joined EXCAPE and haven’t looked back since.”

“Brilliant setup. I’d never set foot in a gym before, and the coaches made the first few months extremely enjoyable and made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. The atmosphere is relaxed and completely non-intimidating, which makes a big difference.”

“I joined EXCAPE to strengthen up after a couple of back operations and I have stayed for the sense of community, small groups and personal attention from Dave, Rebecca, Andy and the team.”

“I was initially a bit hesitant as I certainly wouldn’t have considered myself sporty or athletic, and had always found other gyms to be very intimidating. However, the coaches at Excape are very helpful and attentive, putting me at ease and allowing me to slowly build up my confidence and strength.”

“After originally signing up for the one month trial, I’m still a member four years later. I cannot speak highly enough of the ethos and people at EXCAPE. Every single coach is so kind and encouraging.”

“There are a number of super things about EXCAPE: the daily choice of class times means you never have to miss your session, you have a great choice AM or PM! And all coaches are so attentive and friendly, balancing the group classes to suit all fitness levels.”

The detail behind the videos, in the members’ own words.

Alan Burke, an Excape member Alan BurkeKilcock

From a 7.5kg dumbbell to 16kg

Runs a café across the road and manages the Kilcock senior hurling team, so time is tight.

Before
A ruptured bicep and a burst hamstring left him unable to lift a basket in his own kitchen.
Now
Trains at 6am before a 7am shift. The bicep is no longer a problem at work.
“Once you’re in the door, it’s like golf. You get addicted to it and you move on from there.”

Deadlifting more than her own body weight

Joined when the studio opened, at first for stress relief and to get stronger.

Before
She expected to slow down with age, the way she had watched friends slow down.
Now
She lifts more than she weighs, and says yes to things she would have turned down a few years ago.
“I just want to stay strong and have fun with my grandchildren.”

The knee supports are gone

Came in wearing supports for arthritis, with a bad back from an old cycling accident.

Before
His first experience of a gym was coaches on their phones and nobody paying attention.
Now
Blood pressure and cholesterol both down at his last check-up, and longer drives on the golf course.
“The biggest achievement is just getting rid of the pains.”

From never training to running further

Had never set foot in a gym and used to get notes to skip PE at school.

Before
Being left to work out the equipment alone in a normal gym felt intimidating.
Now
Booking sessions in advance gave him routine around shift work, and his running has come on.
“If you’re thinking about it and you do want it, just do it.”

The EXCAPE difference

Why the results are real

The results our members achieve aren't accidental. They're the outcome of a system that's been refined across six studios since 2018.

01

Personalised from day one

Every member starts with a welcome consultation. We call before your first session to understand your goals, your history, and what you actually need.

02

Progress you can see

A tracking card records your progress every single session. No guesswork, just steady, visible improvement week on week, and your coach adjusts your programme as you go.

03

Small groups, real attention

Small groups mean you're always seen, never overlooked. Your coach knows your name, your programme, and how you're getting on. That's attention money can't fake.

04

Consistency built in

The community at EXCAPE is the real secret weapon. When the people around you are showing up, so do you. That's how three sessions a week becomes a habit, and a habit is where results come from.

The community

More than a gym

Results happen faster when you're surrounded by people who show up. Here's what that looks like.

Your questions

Results, answered

Most members notice increased energy and improved sleep within 2-3 weeks. Visible physical changes typically appear within 6-8 weeks of consistent attendance (3 sessions per week).

Members achieve a wide range: weight loss, strength gains, improved mobility, better sleep and energy, improved health markers, and increased confidence. Results depend on consistency, nutrition, and programme adherence.

Life happens. Your coach will notice and reach out. The structure and community at EXCAPE are specifically designed to help you get back on track without judgement. No one is left behind.

Absolutely. Some of our most dedicated members are in their 60s and 70s. Our coaches adapt every programme to the individual, and many older adults find EXCAPE to be the most effective and sustainable fitness they've ever done.

Takes 30 seconds. The EXCAPE team calls you back within one working day.
