Circuit Classes
PT-Troop’s Personal Trainers operate a full programme of circuit classes throughout the week. We believe we have established the very best circuit classes in Bristol, offering greater variety, imagination and quality of instruction than anyone else around.

We can use virtually no equipment, showing you how to use your body as its own gym. However, unlike at other classes in Bristol, our Personal Trainers will make the effort to set up elaborate sessions with as much equipment as they need. Each Personal Trainer is truly passionate about getting the very best from the group – as well as from each individual. Time and effort goes into thinking out each session – with the result that individuals remain challenged each week. One regular attendee told us this was the only circuit training class in Bristol she has attended where feels she has been really stretched each week – in all the others she was able the reach a comfort zone quite quickly. We don’t let that happen here!
These circuit classes are truly suitable for all. We have members of elite military units attending on leave. We have current and ex international Rugby and Hockey players. We also have real exercise novices - people who have not exercised at all for years. A regular attendee has lost over 2 stone since starting in early September. People often disbelieve that such a diverse group could form a cohesive class. How do we do it? By knowing each individual in the class – what injuries they carry, what their strengths and weaknesses are. By dividing the class into groups, and allowing people to migrate between them. By always having and alternative exercise if someone can’t do something. But most importantly, by our knowledge, experience and passion.

New – Queen’s Square Class
As of Tues 26th June, PT-Troop will be training in Queen’s Square. This is following a request from one of our corporate clients – Lyons Davidson, whose really enjoyed the earlier evening classes laid on for them but wished to have an option open to those who couldn’t leave work for so early.
The classes will be similar in format to others – a mix of cardio, strength and toning exercises, taylored to the group we find in
front of ourselves.
We will be meeting at 1800, on Tuesdays initially,towards the centre of the Square where Marie -Claire will be easily recognizable in her green and yellow PT-Troop top. As with the other classes, the cost will be £5. The class will last an hour, and be lots of fun!
