Forma - Gloucester

I had the opportunity to attend a handstands class by Wesley and I cannot speak highly enough of the high standards of his teaching. You can see some of the drills covered in that class in the pictures.

During my visit at Forma I delivered a workshop on "Ice Baths & Breath Control".

Looking forward to visiting Forma again.

I have been attending Forma for over 4 years now and it’s a community and a routine that plays a huge role in my life. My strength, over all health and fitness as well as my happiness has vastly improved over time. Forma offers encouragement, community and vital knowledge about how your body works and how to improve.

The gym is clean, spacious and uniquely equipped for many types of strength training. The training is diverse and evolves as you do, offering multiple progressions per exercise for beginners through to advanced level athletes.

As an adult I joined Forma to find fitness training that was measurable and interesting. Not only did I find something that I want to stick to but I have reconnected with my childhood love of gymnastics and feel fitter and more flexibility than I ever have.

I cannot praise Forma enough. Wesley and Claire are brilliant coaches. The classes are fun, demanding yet achievable regardless of ones level.
There is expert tuition and support throughout. The Gloucester gym is a great space, modern, clean and well equipped. Certainly joining Forma has been one of the best things I have done - I've met some lovely people from all walks of life and each week I look forward to the classes - every time I walk out feeling alive and buzzing, which is just as well as I approach my 70th year. Strength and flexibility has improved no end - thanks to Forma no more stooping or groaning as I get in and out of the car - I can even put my own pants on unaided !!! 5 Stars all round.

I was introduced to Wes after having my hip resurfaced as a result of many years of running and poor training. I did it initially as rehabilitation but found that the effects were way beyond expectations. I can honestly say I feel much stronger and more flexible than I did 15 years ago. It's fun and it's strangely addictive. All the instructors, especially Wes and Claire are highly professional, attentive and thoroughly nice people. I never hesitate to recommend Forma to anyone who's looking to add more depth to their training.

I love Forma - Walked through the doors the day they opened, and have never looked back! Used to love running and yoga, but something was missing - FORMA ticks all boxes and nourishes mind and body holistically, within a very supportive and inspiring community of members, international visitors and instructors (I am now an instructor, but I love attending others' classes as much as I love teaching!).
Always more to learn! Gymnastic fitness is so efficient, comprehensive and satisfying. Refined body control and freedom - feels great.

As a woman in my mid 40's, overweight & unfit, I was really apprehensive about joining the Forma classes. But as I hurt my back last year, I was pretty determined to find an exercise that I would enjoy enough to keep going. Regular gym wasn't doing it for me, but Forma has been fantastic! I've been going for 4 months, and I've seen real significant changes in my strength & my body. No more back pain! And being able to do handstands is so much fun. Even if you don't think it's for you - give it a try. The instructors are welcoming & know how to adapt exercises to suit you. I've found the exercise that will stick, and I know I'll get stronger & more flexible every month.

I joined Forma 2 and a half years ago when I was looking for an alternative form of training. The style of training and supportive approach you get from all the instructors is second to none. The Forma Family is totally inclusive and I have truly found a happy place !!! I feel stronger and fitter, despite a few niggling injuries. In fact, I was able to work through a hip injury with Wesley Tan’s expert advise and encouragement, avoiding surgery.
I would highly recommend anyone trying out a session, whatever your age. If I can do it at 53, anyone can !!!

I’ve been attending Forma classes in person and online since 2014. Their wholistic approach to body conditioning, strength and fitness is incomparable. Their professionalism and knowledge makes anyone with any background feel safe in their hands. I had no gymnastic or fitness background when I started but they took us through all we needed to know to get the most out of classes and avoid injury. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in long term physical fitness investment. They give you tools for life.
