Nexus is exactly the kind of fitness studio I’ve been looking for! I love group exercise, and find it a much more enjoyable way to work out. I haven’t picked up any weights or sat on a spin bike for a long time, but all the coaches (and other members!) are so friendly and welcoming. The coaches obviously know their stuff, but make the workouts really accessible while still being challenging, so it doesn’t feel intimidating at all.

A wonderful place to work on your fitness no matter where you are starting from. Friendly, professional, understanding, experienced coaches give you confidence and good advice. Classes are well planned, varied and fun and use lots of different pieces of gym equipment, that are fully explained. Booking online or through the app is easy. I generally book on to classes and then make myself show up even if I am not feeling like exercising... I am always glad I went! I wish I had found something like this years ago! |
Can't recommend Nexus Fitness Studio more!!! An absolute amazing, friendly fun choice of classes. No judgement, great instructors and an all round feel good vibe. Excellent. We are not your typical gym.Nexus is so different to a gym. A guaranteed good time with people who soon become friends. |
I love coming to weights on a Friday morning; I love that the atmosphere is relaxed enough to work hard as well as have a giggle. You seem to have understood how to manage the balance of leadership and connection with the class: you’re completely professional, but with an approachable kindness that is honest and sincere. I love what you guys have set up at Nexus; thank you.

I've never been a "gym" person and have always felt put off (and to be honest a little bit intimidated) by gym environments, so feel lucky to have found Nexus and Lucy, Katy and Sarah's classes. I feel the fittest and strongest that I've been in years and not once has it felt like a chore getting here, other than after my very first class maybe! You guys have got a winning formula as far as I'm concerned. Thank you! I absolutely love Nexus the instructors are first class the classes are fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. I can’t recommend the place enough. I absolutely love going to nexus! Even when I’m having a bad day the coaches always put a smile on my face! I always feel comfortable and I am growing in confidence. There are so many classes to choose from! I enjoy weights and circuits and bootcamps too! Something for everyone! Highly recommend as someone who finds it hard to push myself I love attending! We all feel lonely sometimes.

I joined Nexus just over a month ago and I can safely say it's the best thing I've done! I absolutely love it! I'd wanted to join a gym for a while now but knew I'd lack motivation going on my own so that's when I contacted Katy at Nexus and I've never looked back. The classes are so much fun, all the coaches are super encouraging and push to get the best out of you. It's such a lovely, friendly and supportive place to be. A real team community. Thanks Nexus! 
Love the atmosphere! I always wanted to join a running club but wasn't very confident. The instructors were very helpful and friendly and helped me progress from beginner to being able to run 4 miles in no time. It have given me confidence and even lead me to enter and complete a 10k. |
I didn't know any of the people in the group less than 12 months ago and now I have made such amazing friends and memories with the team. I really look forward to training each week with new challenges (although it may not seem like it with all the moaning I do!) Well worth every penny.

The fitness world should be for everyone.
I’m a self-identified Autistic ADHDer, before Christmas I was burnt out from work and wasn’t able to commit to a membership because my energy levels were low and my anxiety levels high. I shared this with [Katy] and you allowed me the time and space I needed to rest and have since been able to to go ahead with my membership and show up! If it hadn’t have been for you enabling me to pop in, ask a million questions, try things out, letting me know it’s ok to leave if I need to at anytime and totally accept me showing up as I am I wouldn’t be able to be consistent and proud of my effort. I love how multi-sensory the classes are, things written down, explained verbally, demonstrated physically, timed for me. I appreciate the option for smaller classes and quieter sessions. I like being able to keep myself to myself and also to be more engaged and social when I feel like it. I love being able to ask repeatedly how to do an exercise without feeling judged, not being shamed for trying to go the wrong way around the circuit I love I can take a different option if I need to… without this level of flexibility and general inclusive approach I wouldn’t be taking care of my mental and physical health. It’s rare to find a gym that really takes time to consider all this. So thank you I am a passionate advocate for all things regarding neurodiversity and seeing as though it’s Autism acceptance month I decided to be bold and take the plunge!!

I’ve always valued the importance of exercise for good physical and mental health but having three children in 5 years meant very little time for self care! Equally I’ve always struggled with motivation in the typical gym environment so before Nexus even opened I liked the concept of the studio and small group classes. I’ve been going to Nexus since it opened in August and can honestly say I love it; it doesn’t feel like a chore and I genuinely enjoy everything about it, the coaches, the members and my increased fitness from the classes. The range of classes and timetable across the week means I can easily fit around my different work and childcare commitments to always be able attend a class when I’m free. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and I’ve never felt nervous or scared to try something new! I would recommend Nexus to anyone who wants to get back into exercising and to meet new people, it really is part of my life now.
~ Jen R.
I honestly couldn't recommend Nexus enough. All the coaches are so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic! They are always willing to help, they encourage you to push yourself and try new things. I never pictured myself doing circuit training and spin classes but now I do a class every week and can 100% say that I enjoy every minute of it. It's made to be so enjoyable and it's ever just a boring workout! Always fantastic atmosphere and I'm even considering more classes.
~ Courtney R.
Top group of gym-goers! For someone who **HATES** exercise, this wonderful studio keeps drawing me back! I think it must be the calm, friendly vibe that all the coaches bring as well as members. There is always no judgement whether you are at the back, can't lift as much or are just taking a breather because you physically cannot squat another time. Thank you for being on our doorstep and for helping me do exercise when I hate it with a passion. You guys are all fab! |
Been humming and Arring singing up here since it opened...out of pure nervousness I didn't go. Plucked up the courage booked in a spinning class and absolutely loved it! I met Sarah and Katy and they were both lovely. Made me feel so welcome as did the other members. Glad to be apart of this community. Also loved the little congratulations email I got after my first class 😊 nice little touch! Can't wait for my next class! Each session is always different, but it's always fun!! Who knew a fitness class could put a smile on your face!!

Brilliant gym with super supportive coaches, a variety of classes to suit all abilities and a great team of people to encourage you and have a laugh with in sessions.
~ Laura P.
As someone who hadn't run for years and quite frankly fallen out of love with exercising at all, join Nexus beginners running classes was the best thing I could have done! The Nexus team have made me fall in love with running all over again and the days when I think 'I really don't want to go out' I still get up and get myself into gear because I don't want to miss out on an evening with the fabulous Nexus Runners! Fantastic friendly fitness studio. Can't rate this highly enough. |
Anyone who thinks that they cannot run need to try Introduction to Running! Don't get me wrong... it pushed me, and I felt like giving up, but the coaches are fantastic and so supportive and tailor the runs to build you up to running. Nexus Fitness Studio! Absolutely brilliant! Excellent quality choice of classes! Always varied! Always challenging! Katy and the team are friendly and helpful! Just what Market Drayton needed! THANK YOU! |
I saw a new gym opening up - Nexus. I was so pleased to see it was Katy, who I had met any years ago in another running club alongside her mum. So I instantly new it would be the place for me. And I was right. Katy is very funny, approachable and explanatory. She is such an easy person to like and has the ability to make you feel at ease, as does Sarah, who is also amazing. I have pretty much attended 2/3 classes a week since it's opened... I have become completely addicted to keeping fit and leave the classes on a high that lasts for days. The improvement has been amazing, not only on my body and fitness but my mental health and physical wellness. I can't recommend this gym enough. I have met new friendly, taken my own friends with me and will continue my new found love of Nexus. It's like one big family, full of familiar faces and new faces... and all super friendly.
~ Laura N.
Highly recommend this fitness studio. Everyone is so welcoming and I always leave feeling better about myself. I have never had that 'awkward gym' feeling or felt I was any different to anyone else attending regardless of other people's fitness levels, here you are treated with respect and patience but also encouraged to keep pushing to do your best. A little gem of a place and I'm so pleased I found it. 100% support, encouragement and zero judgement! Honestly, once you have made the first step and put your trait in Nexus Fitness, you won't regret it. you might also make some new friends along the way. |
This is what I've been looking for. I'm not an easy person to please when it comes to a gym. I like to rant, sweat & swear my way around a circuit & need a lot of variety thanks to a very short attention span. Team Nexus have managed to achieve that & what a lush setting. Fantastic range of equipment... really friendly team & no judgement about ability or experience. Highly recommend trying a class or two - you will not regret it. Your legs might, but they will thank you later. I didn't feel nervous at all and loved the atmosphere as soon as I set through the door. How can you not love Katy and Sarah? Funny, easy going and make the lessons super fun. I'm addicted. |
you might feel nervous... and that's normal!
We are here to help you every step of the way...
Especially taking that step through the door. (It's a push by the way).
I was so incredibly nervous about starting, it took everything in me to walk in the doors, but I can honestly say I haven't felt intimidated at all and Lucy is such a fantastic trainer with the patience of a saint! I broke my back from years ago and still have big issues with it. I have a dodgy knee and an arthritic hip but Lucy is aware of all of this and very discreetly adapts the exercises that I struggle with so I don't feel stupid! I highly recommend Nexus Fitness Studio! Just give it a try. You'll feel fantastic afterwards and I'll guarantee you'll want to go back! Thanks Ladies!
~ Lucy T.
First time back exercising for some time, did circuits with Lucy this morning and I don’t mind admitting I was dreading it - I’m not as fit or slim as I used to be! I was welcomed and encouraged from the moment I walked through the doors! I have a few joint issues but Lucy was more than willing to adapt some of the exercises so I could still do it! If like me you are thinking about it but a bit worried or embarrassed, don’t be just do it! Thank you team Nexus. For someone who did not intend to take up running, as I always thought I was never a natural runner and only said yes to support a friend... I loved the Introduction to Running sessions. I was very nervous as I have never run before, however the relaxed, supported environment created by Katy and her run leaders and the friendly encouragement from fellow team members made each session an amazing achievement and I always came away feeling chuffed with my efforts.
I have never considered myself a runner even though I have been running for many years! Since joining Nexus Runners, Katy and her team have helped me build confidence and I now run with my head held high and know that I am putting in my best efforts! The varied sessions and tips have been a great help with my posture and running style. I am now running at a pace that I am happy with! Thanks team. |
Really enjoy going to the disco spin classes. Katy does an amazing job at making them fun and not feel like you're doing a boring workout! Great music choices and atmosphere too!! Before I started the Nexus Runners 8 week Introduction to Running Course, I doubted by ability to stick at it and run nonstop for 5km. Katy's great coaching mean the runs were always different and kept it interesting. Her encouragement along with the support of the group meant not only did I get to finish the 8 weeks but we ended up running 6.5km! I totally recommend Nexus as a supportive, welcoming and non judgmental group, where you have fun, make friends and achieve your fitness goals. I have never ever run in my life before and at the age of 50+ within eight weeks Nexus Runners encouraged me and enabled me to run 4 miles, I still don't believe it myself! Great team and so supportive, thoroughly recommend! 8 weeks after joining [Nexus Runner's Introduction to Running Course] I did my first Park Run and can say I have never looked back! Today I did my first 10k. I couldn't/wouldn't have done it without the support of a great bunch of people and Katy for encouraging me.

Been in Market Drayton for just over 6 years and been looking for a gym/ studio to join where I don't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable and intimidated. Nexus is just the place I have been looking for. Great coaches and lovely people to train with. I have found my happy place again. Thank you Nexus!!!!
~ Jean H.
I haven't long joined the Introduction to Running course... and last night braved a spin class as well. I am a nervous person, no confidence, zero fitness. I've felt nothing but support and kindness from day one. Katy and Sarah are amazing support... and everyone in the groups have been so friendly and welcoming. I have always been desperate to have a healthier relationship with running and fitness but have never quite found my place. Nexus has completely changed my outlook on both of the above and I now look forward to exercising every week rather than dreading it. Such a lovely bunch of caring and encouraging coaches that really support you every step of the way - with a bit of hilarious banter thrown in along the way! Loving the new studio and the wide range of classes on offer. The atmosphere is a little addictive! |
If you do one thing in the new year, just go take a look, all it takes is that very first class and I'm pretty sure you'll be hooked! The at Nexus Fitness Studio are extremely good at looking after you no matter how nervous or stupid or unfit you feel, they've got you! Love everything about Nexus, the coaches are brilliant, classes fun and challenging and the environment is inclusive for all. It's so good to have something different to the usual gym setting. Keep doing what you're doing! Very friendly and great classes!

I was not a gym person until I found Nexus. The coaches are so supportive and make every session fun but challenging. I also love the fact the sessions are classes which motivates me to go as I don't have to worry about thinking what to do at the gym. There's a huge selection of classes to choose from too. Since starting here I've grown in confidence, not only at exercising, but also generally in myself. Would definitely recommend.

Feel so hyped after boot camp this morning. Returning to the studio after being off for a while. Katy (& Lucy) quickly and effortlessly adapt every station for you to your ability and as a result I have had a better work out and achieved more than I hoped this morning. I love that Nexus is really growing as a community and that Katy and the team are introducing new classes and new ways of working out. I’m really looking forward to the private gym-I think this is a fantastic idea and something I really want to do. Katy you obviously work so hard and thank you for keeping it fresh, making sure there is something to suit absolutely everybody all the time.
~ Anita T.
I love coming to Spin - Joy is so friendly and chatty,and the group is really nice too. There's no pressure to perform at my best every time I go, as sometimes it's just good to loosen up and feel the benefits. It's really enjoyable taking part in a group weights class, everyone is so supportive and katy is very encouraging and patience, even when she has to explain the same exercise again and again! We leave knowing that we have worked hard but we're happy :-) I’m really enjoying the classes. I feel well supported and encouraged not only by Lucy but the rest of the team! What a great enthusiastic bunch! I don’t feel silly or awkward if I don’t know what I’m doing and Lucy ensures you’re doing it right!! Fabulous!!🤩🤩🤩 |
Nexus is so different to a gym. The classes are brilliant: varied, challenging and you are really pushed to work to your own limits, not anyone else’s. The coaches are on hand giving encouragement and advice about technique which really helps you to progress. I attend three times a week and am so glad I’ve found it. The other members are great, you never feel judged or silly. What Katy and the team have managed to create here is really unique and special. Well done guys 👏🏻 and thank you for all your support. Loving being in a group led by Katy who is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and knows how to get the best out of us. Really enjoying these classes. |
The fitness gym has a brilliant atmosphere that is both energizing and motivating. The staff are friendly and encourage you to push yourself. The equipment is top-notch and the classes are dynamic. It's a great place to work out and feel inspired to reach your fitness goals!
~ Leon T.
I love coming to the class (Weights). I’m not the most competitive person and I’m ok with that, so I really appreciate that that is accepted in the class! Being able to be me and fit in in my way is such a welcome change and not one I’ve experienced before in gyms (not that I’ve been to many!).
