Transform your life with Small Group Personal Training in Sheffield.

As a former pro handball player, I pushed my body hard for over a decade explosive training, impact, collisions, the works. After retiring, I kept active, but nothing felt right. My joints ached, my back was unreliable, and I couldn't & find a gym that truly understood the athletic wear and tear I carried. Most places offered generic workouts. Too basic or too reckless. I needed structure. Precision.

A system that respects how an ex athlete moves and recovers. That’s exactly what I found at Unit Health & Performance. This isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ gym. The coaching is elite level - every movement is intentional, every session has a purpose. I’m now training with a new goal to compete in Hyrox and running events, pain-free. My explosiveness is returning, my mobility is back, and I feel like an athlete again. This gym gave me a second chapter in my athletic life. One that’s smarter, more sustainable, and just as driven.

I’d been stuck in the cycle for years - short-term programs, inconsistent results, and zero sustainability. As a 36 year old, I wanted to look good, sure - but more than that, I wanted to be strong, lean, and functional for the long haul. My schedule’s demanding, and I didn’t have time to waste on random workouts that didn’t move the needle. What I found at this gym was a complete system. The training is intelligently designed, time-efficient, and progressive. I’ve built real strength, gained lean muscle, dropped fat - and I feel better than I have in a decade. More importantly, I know I’m building a foundation for long term health, not just chasing short term results.

I’d spent years trying to lose weight, from fad diets, home workouts to quick-fix programs. Nothing stuck. I was tired, weak, and starting to worry about what that meant for the next 20–30 years of my life. At 46, I wasn’t just chasing a smaller number on the scale - I wanted strength, energy, and the confidence that I was investing in my future. I was hesitant to join a gym again. I’d been burned before - overcrowded classes, impersonal trainers, and no real plan. But from the start, this place felt different. The coaching is thoughtful and progressive. The sessions are structured around real goals, not gimmicks. I’ve lost 20 pounds, gained visible strength, and, most importantly, I feel healthier, more capable, and more in control of my future.

At 55, I was more concerned with staying healthy and functional than getting ripped. My weight was up, my knees hurt, and I couldn’t even get through a full game of cricket without feeling aches and being exhausted. I thought it was just part of ageing. But then I found Unit health and performance. The programming here is exceptional - designed for longevity and long term fitness. The coaches understand the difference between training hard and training smart. I’ve lost over 10kg, rebuilt my strength, and can now do things I thought I’d lost forever. I’m not just stronger, I’m living a healthier and happier life.
