Hall Personal Training Reviews 

I'd highly recommend Hall Training! From the moment I joined, I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel completely comfortable and part of the community.

The coaches are all incredibly knowledgeable and experts in their field. I’ve been given excellent advice, guidance and support throughout, and it’s clear how much they care about helping people achieve their goals.

The atmospheres fantastic, everyone is really friendly and encouraging. I always left feeling motivated, positive and ready to start my day. I’m really glad I found Hall Training and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive gym!

A very personal service with so much more than gym work. Organised, friendly and professional in every respect. Varied rotating programmes ensure all aspects of fitness are covered.

Hall Personal Training is a top notch studio. For many of us, faceless 24 hour gyms don’t work. For my money, Hall PT thoroughly assess, offer both standard and adapted workouts. They support you through personal health, nutrition and fitness goals and also during the times when injury, illness, rehab and recovery feel like they might get in the way of attending the gym. I always leave feeling “worked out”, completely supported and energised. I’ve never had this level of interest and care even from my years with 1:1 personal trainers! You will be doing you and your health a favour by visiting this inclusive studio and meeting the professional, knowledgeable and dynamic team - sign up and see the difference in you.

I love this place! I have always struggled with exercises and the gym, I am hyper-mobile and have previous injuries including dislocating my knee. All of the team have been amazing, they ensure I am comfortable and teach me how to position the exercise for me (with lots of patience as even a simple squat is new). I have only been with Hall a couple of months but my confidence has grown and I can already see physical improvements. My husband has also recently joined and practised martial arts for years at a high level. We both attend the same session and walk away knowing we have worked hard and enjoyed it. The care, attention and expertise provided is fantastic and the team are very friendly- it’s clear they love what they do and genuinely want to help you improve. I wish I had done this sooner- they make it an easy lifestyle change. Thank you.

Big disappointment
This training only works if you can lift weights. If for any reason, e.g. injury you cannot, no alternative is offered. No exercise machines at the gym, no aerobic/cardio exercises, no exercises at all without weights.
I specified my shoulder hypermobility in the initial phone call (and was told we could work round it) and online form but for my mouvemrent assessment, the trainer had no idea - she mispronounced it twice. Sorry guys but you should be clearer about what you offer and how limited your staff knowledge of anatomy/physiology is.

Today is exactly one year since I joined this wonderful team. I can sincerely say that it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done!

I joined Hall Training feeling unfit, unhealthy and knowing I was steadily gaining weight after reaching my 50’s. It was really dragging me down and I knew I had to do something to make sure that I could enjoy life to the fullest on the years to come. Thanks to their knowledge and encouragement, not only have I lost 13 kg in one year, I have never felt better. I’ve achieved things I never thought I would be able to do! Like press up’s, split squats and lift weights that seemed impossible for me.

The best thing of all has been meeting the trainers and being part of what feels like a family. I love the way we are made to feel truly cared and pushed to do the best we can, whilst having loads of fun at the same time.

The way we have been able to continue training through lockdown, with the added addition of online workshops and guest speakers has been truly amazing. Plus George has helped me to believe I can actually reach my goal weight with the accelerator programme! I have never believed that I would ever be able to do that before.

I cannot thank you all enough. I’m so glad I found you and had the pleasure of getting to know all of you and the other lovely members.

Great team of personal trainers guiding you through each exercise whilst challenging and encouraging you along the way.

The whole set up is really well thought out and second to none.

I’ve achieved more in a month with these guys than I would in a month of Sundays on my own, plus I never feel sore afterwards despite doing a really good workout.

If you are looking to work out regularly with professional direction then look no further. Even when you are not booked into you regular training session with one of Hall's excellent trainers, you have free access to the gym. There's no need to trade off affording a gym membership with a PT: Hall Personal Training has got you covered.

The service goes far beyond personal training with gym access added on. Hall's app helps you to keep track of your progress so that you can see how you're performing and enjoy or even share your new PBs. Wondering about your protein v carb intake or optimum step count? You can book in a monthly 1:1 to go over your nutritional plan and you'll get emails from Chris with little videos sharing the latest news.

On site there's parking, showers a mini-shop and...shhh... an espresso machine.

The offer here really couldn't be better thought out.

For me, the icing on the cake really is the trainers themselves. The level of knowledge that they bring is exceptional and their ability to explain every movement means that I trust their direction absolutely. With their help I quickly achieve perfect form in a new exercise. Then there's the fact that no matter which of the team I train with, they all already know me and can help me to judge when to push harder.
After only 3 months I'm very excited for the next 3. I used to work out at gym classes and wholeheartedly recommend Hall training over the alternatives.

I did the 1 month trial advertised on Facebook which was very thorough and generous, with an initial session to work out goals, identify weaknesses, look at health, safety, plus an intro to how the sessions and app work, and an equipment induction, etc.

The trial included 2 x 121 sessions; 5 x 221 sessions; 5 x 421 sessions and a 1/2 hour sports massage, plus nutritional advice and a review! Phew!

The team are brilliant; personable, challenging/encouraging - while not taking you beyond your capabilities (which could lead to injury); they know their stuff and are very adaptable to individual/personal needs (e.g. changing exercises to take old injuries into account, and working with different age groups and abilities) - thanks to Chris, Georgie, Becky & George.

Finally the space itself is great; well thought out, clean and airy, with good quality & well maintained quipment ...it includes mezzanine floor with big showers, WCs and kitchen area/comfy seating.

Thoroughly recommended!

Hall training offers something different to normal gyms with the focus on quality training and nutritional advice if you want it. Very friendly staff who know there stuff, would recommend to anyone no matter what they want to achieve. Thanks Ben

It’d been about five years since I’d done any gym work when I came to Hall Training. My nutrition hadn’t been great and I really wanted to improve my fitness levels as I have a young family.

Compared to other personal trainers it’s great here as you can see somebody every day or three times a week, rather than just once per week, so there’s a lot more consistency and education that goes into it. I get a lot of discussion about form and doing the exercises correctly which has lacked before in my training.

Compared to other gyms it’s a completely different gym environment. It’s a lot nicer, there’s a lot more community and everyone knows your name. The whole team knows who you are and what you’re trying to achieve, and they do their best to help you get there.

I’ve lost 5kg within a month and a half, the nutrition support has really helped with that. It’s a huge confidence boo

In the past I have found gyms a little intimidating - not here though. The trainers are welcoming, encouraging and knowledgable. The programme changes frequently, so no chance of getting bored with the same old routine and there is always a trainer with you to guide you through the exercise. Susan

Was with Halls PT for a little over a month, had to leave due to study commitments. But if I weren’t in my current situation, I can guarantee Halls if the best gym you’ll find in Oxford. Trainers are top notch, will help in every aspect you can think of and best of all, people training there, including me, are of all shapes and sizes! There’s no pressure whatsoever, they look after your needs and goals! Basically 6 out of 5 stars if it were possible!!!!

I am delighted with my experience with the Hall Personal Training team. I am amazed at how my level of fitness has improved in a relatively short space of time. I feel much fitter and am pleasantly surprised at the impact of the training.
Chris’s is a fount of useful knowledge about training, anatomy and diet and his depth of knowledge is impressive.
All team member are extremely professional, personable and knowledgeable and provide unwavering support.They all push you to your maximum ability whilst making it seem fun!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris and the rest of the team.

I’ve been training with Chris for well over a year now and I’ve found him incredibly knowledgable, encouraging and effective. It’s clear that he puts a lot of effort in to developing his training plans which are tailored to each clients’ strengths and weaknesses, and follow a system of progression to maximise the impact of each session and deliver a well-rounded program. I can see a clear benefit physically from the work I’ve done with Chris (even though I don’t train between sessions!) and I have access to my personal training plan where I can look back through previous sessions and track my progress in numbers. I’ve spent time around other trainers from Hall Personal Training whilst training with Chris and I’m confident that they would deliver the same quality training as I have had. If you’re considering whether it’s for you I highly recommend giving it a go!

I have trained with Hall Training for over a year now. I signed up with Becky, with the aim of improving my running, when I got a place in London Marathon. Becky’s training was superb and her commitment really was second to none - she even came to London on race day to support me!

Since Becky has moved to Cheltenham, I’ve been training with Georgey and sometimes Ben.

My experience of all three is very similar. Their knowledge is superb; they have a deep expertise in nutrition, training and how to squeeze the maximum benefits from your programme. They are supportive and supremely motivating in helping you reach your goals, and above all the whole team is welcoming and makes training so much fun!!

I joined to run a marathon, which happened eight months ago, and I’m still going back every week. I have achieved more than I ever thought I’d be able to, and am still getting fitter, healthier and happier!

The Hall team slogan is absolutely spot on!
I am amazed at how much stronger, healthier and happier I feel after just one month. I could not be happier with my very personalised programme and Chris’s wealth of knowledge and unwavering support.
I really look forward to continuing my training journey in the New Year.

Chris is extremely professional, personable and knowledgeable. He created a 3 month intensive programme for me and I was very pleased with the results. He is a fount of useful knowledge about training, anatomy and diet and he manages to push you to your maximum ability whilst making it seem fun! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris and the rest of the team. I look forward to returning.

I have been training with Chris Hall for almost a year now. He has a good understanding of my training objectives and has consistently designed programmes that meet my aims. He strikes a good balance between pushing me, making me feel I can always achieve more than I think, while listening carefully to what I feel is not working. He is always attentive throughout each session, and I very much feel I get value for money, as well as (usually!) enjoying the session. I would highly recommend Chris as a very professional trainer, who gives a lot of thought to his clients' training requirements.

As a lady of a certain age, I was beginning to think that I would never get back to the weight at which I looked my best, and I was resigned to being invisible. That is the reality as your hair goes grey and your figure just goes! Working with Chris Hall has changed all that. With one-to-one sessions, I have not just lost weight, but changed my shape, thanks to the emphasis on developing muscle tone and overall fitness. The individualised training is combined with sound advice on diet and exercise, and Chris is so positive in all of these things that achieving your goals seems entirely within reach. I would recommend Chris without hesitation, especially to anyone wanting to roll back the years!
