Somax Fitness has a wonderful vibe, with lots on offer, including spin classes and body conditioning, which have been put online during lockdown. Every class is different and the instructors are fabulous at keeping you motivated. There is a wonderful community feel at Somax. I highly recommend joining in. There is a suitable class for all levels of fitness.

Have been a member for about a year now...definitely recommend giving this a go. The bikes are professional and are easy to setup and use. There are many wonderful instructors running classes and all have different programs they use during a spin sessions. All of them are very friendly and interact with members personally before during and after the class. The classes uses myzone heart straps which display on your phone via an app and also on a screen on the wall to help you control heart rate and warm ups and cool downs. Great music during classes. We all go there for the same reasons health fitness and to loose a little weight. All the members I have met so far are nice friendly people, the general atmosphere there makes you feel at ease without feeling self conscious. Booking classes is very easy online via the website and parking is never a problem. Toilets are avaliable also...memberships are monthly or instead you can purchase a few session to see how you get on without commitment if it's not your thing.i think the first is free to try.

I've been attending spin classes at this friendly studio in Portishead for over 4 years. I can truthfully say I've enjoyed every class I've attended! There are different types of class depending on your fitness levels or goals, and the instructors are a perfect mix of encouraging and guiding you to achieve your best. They are attentive and ensure their classes are fun and varied. I find that my exercise is so much more rewarding and beneficial when I attend group session rather than exercise on my own. I've made a number of friends at Somax and it is defiantly the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that sets them apart from any other gym I have attended in the past. At Somax they use heartrate monitors (not compulsory) and class profiles so you can see what is coming next, and how long until you get a rest! Some of the bikes also link to an app on your smart phone so you can track your ride stats with even more precision, work on your %FTP, or just track your speed and calorie burn. I have recommended Somax to many of my friends and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is interested. Additionally, Somax have added body conditioning sessions to their extensive timetable (which I can highly recommend too) :-)

I have been a member of this spin studio for 7 years and have never looked back. I have a family package, so my children can also attend (there are height restrictions), indoor cycling gave my eldest his passion for cycling, and he is now a regular at the velodrome in Newport. Somax took over last year, and the studio still has the same friendly vibe (without being cliquey). They have added strength training and gym equipment and this has improved my performance on the bike. I love data and targets, so like the fact that you can purchase (optional) a heartrate belt, to monitor which heartrate zone you are working in. The data is displayed on a large screen, so there is no slacking off! Dan, Shona, Angela, Kate, Lozza, HamJam, Matt and all the other instructors, thank you for the enjoyable near death experience 3-4 times a week! I often compare it to Stockholm Syndrome, give it a go, you will not regret it.
