Well, this is a new one… 😂
We woke up yesterday to this rather unusual review of Hitsona Chepstow from Andrew. He’s never been a member, nor has he ever spoken to us.
But it doesn’t sound like Andrew would be a great fit for Hitsona anyway.
We work pretty hard to make this a friendly, supportive and non-judgemental place to exercise. Our members are all different ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels - and being kind and supportive of the people around you is a fairly important part of being here.
So on that point, Andrew, we agree. Hitsona probably isn’t for you.
He’s also right about something else…
We’re NOT a traditional gym.
And we’re not trying to be.
Traditional gyms already exist and are great for people who enjoy them. Hitsona exists for the people who maybe find gyms a bit intimidating, don’t know what to do when they get there, or (and this is the main point), simply want exercise to be a bit more social, engaging and enjoyable.
As for the suggestion that our members go drinking after “most sessions” - our early morning crew are going to be very disappointed to discover they’ve apparently been missing out. 😂 (don’t worry, this also isn’t true!)
What we do have are monthly social events. Sometimes people have a drink. Sometimes they don’t. Mostly it’s an excuse to get together, have some fun and get to know the people we spend several mornings and evenings each week exercising alongside.
Anyway, Andrew’s actually done us a favour as our “terrable community” has now flooded our page with real reviews and we’ve all had a good laugh about it (apart from the men - they are very upset all the women have been drinking without them)
So, members - what’s your post workout drink of choice…?!
