Written by the company
We dreamt of a place where you could walk through the doors and leave again feeling uplifted, accomplished and proud. A place where everybody knows your name, where you have support when you need it. A place where you know exactly what to do to reach your goals, and anything you don't know, you're not afraid to ask. A gym is not just a place to burn calories. Its a release, an outlet. A place where you go to boost positivity and confidence. Where you go to evolve, to transform. This dream is realised and proven through AK Active, Lancashire's best mental health supporting gym as voted by the people of Lancashire. We know that one in four people are affected by mental health issues. This has no doubt worsened in a world post COVID-19. We believe in supporting our members by creating an environment that they thrive in, and one that they leave feeling uplifted, bursting with confidence and pride. If you want to be bursting with energy, beaming with confidence, in your BEST shape ever, then you are in the right place. We are here for you. "Fitness is a journey that we all should start, but never finish." We are the hand up to that start line.

Started going to AK a few years ago to help with my mental & physical health. Adam and Kimberley have been fantastic at guiding me throughout my journey and incredibly supportive, finally confident enough to join one of their classes and I wish I had joined a long time ago. Deciding to try them out was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I wish I had done it sooner!
I started 28 days ago and have lost just over 11lbs which is a massive achievement for me. Having had a number of failed attempts of trying to lose the weight and improve my general health, I feel like AK Active has given me the confidence and motivation to stay focused on the journey.
I really wish I had done it sooner! Highly recommend AK Active to anyone who needs that initial boost.
Not just a gym
I joined Ak not knowing what to expect, I’ve been a member at practically all the gyms in the surrounding areas, and felt uncomfortable and anxious about going to them all.
With AK this is not the case, not only are they lovely people but they care, their interested in you and invested in your journey to change! Because it’s so personal and with weekly check ins, it kept me accountable. All the classes are great and push you in different ways, I especially like the weights classes. (Who doesn’t love leg day). My self confidence has improved massively over the last few months and
I now find myself looking forward to the gym, It’s such an important part of my life.

I'm loving attending the classes and the food plan is easy to follow. The support from all the coaches and other members is 5 star 🌟 I'm so glad I've found this gym and looking forward to my journey of self esteem, confidence, better fitness & weight loss. I'm a big girl who's very unfit, if I can do it, so can you 😘
Amazing Place
I never thought I’d actually attend a gym let alone enjoy it and want to stay on. I thought I’d join for the 28 days lose a few pounds/inches to get into my wedding dress and that’s me.
Everyone is friendly, welcoming and you don’t feel judged. It’s a lovely environment to be in.
My only regret is not starting sooner. I’d recommend AK to anyone you won’t be disappointed.

If you were thinking about joining a super supportive gym, then this is the one for you! Everyone is so welcoming and the encouragement is unreal. I have honestly never been anywhere like it. Big thanks to Adam Badat, Kimberley Badat and Ben for putting this all together ❤

Love it
Love it! Such a friendly bunch, felt accepted straight away. Lost nearly half a stone in the first two weeks and feel really supported and motivated.
AK Active has changed my life
AK active is the best decision I've made in years. Ive been attending since April and never looked back. Kimberley, Adam and the team are always on hand for advice and the classes are fabulous. They are so enjoyable, I've never attended a gym where I laugh and smile through the classes before now. It's like a night out 😊 The lunch time sessions are perfect too for those days where you need the extra push or cant make the mornings and evenings. I think they're a great idea for breaking up your day. They help me to feel more motivated in the afternoon and stay on track. They're ideal for those who have children and need to do the morning school run. Perfect timing. 10 out of 10.

I’ve just completed my first week and I can’t praise the AK active team enough.

One word - amazing!
I joined AK Active 1 week ago. I can honestly say it’s been amazing from day 1 - speaking with Kimberley who made me feel confident and motivated. Attending my first gym session greeted by a big smile and warm welcome from Adam. The group of women I’m training with are amazing. The sessions are fantastic and lead by a brilliant trainer - (thx Adam)! The food plan is easy to follow and lots of variety.

The place to be for yourself
This has to be the friendliest, most caring gym I have ever entered. Adam and Kimberley made me feel completely at ease and not self conscious. Cannot recommend it enough 😊
