I. H.

I’ve always been nervous in joining something like this, conscious of people watching me but the team at Tuffcore have been so attentive and motivating! From my first conversation with Igor, I felt that he understood exactly what I needed. I tried a taster session, loved the vibe and atmosphere and felt very comfortable. Signed up for the 6 week training immediately after and have finally started a fitness journey! I’ve had my first few sessions and appreciate that the trainers cater to individual needs and still push you to the best of your ability! Can’t wait to see where this journey takes me! ☺️

S. F.

Excellent experience from the very first phone call through to starting my personal training with Igor. Tuffcore/Igor are extremely professional and friendly. Igor and I worked out the best training program for me re technique and cardio. The training is full on, very personal and I’m already seeing results. Highly recommended, you’ll work hard but it’s always enjoyable, friendly and so rewarding!!!

T. R.

From my first contact with Igor, I knew I’d enjoy myself at Tuffcore. Having just had a baby, I was eager to get myself back into shape and be healthier. From the meal plans to the workouts to the knowledge and adjustments made for previous injuries, I am so grateful for Igor and Mody and the team at Tuffcore for allowing me to enjoy working out again!

I recently completed the 6 week course at Tuffcore and enjoyed every aspect of the set up. I joined to get fitter and stronger and I definitely achieved that with the help and encouragement of Mody and Igor. Every class was challenging but fun. I loved the fact that we all encouraged each other to enable us to achieve our individual goals!

I. S.

At Tuffcore the workouts are fun. The workouts are led by Igor and he is inspiring, he will give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts, Igor really care and will go above and beyond to help you to achieve goals, his encouragement and motivation has pushed me to the heights, that I thought i will never achieve. Thank you Igor for inspiring me and giving me confidence towards achiving my goal!

Tuffcore Personal Training has helped me shift 8kg in 7.5 weeks!!! It wasn’t easy but they have managed to get me motivated and shift the chunk! The Trainers are very motivating and encouraging which helps you achieve your goals. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you have a target to meet. Thanks Igor and Mody 😊

W. S.

Mody and Igor are fantastic and make make a great team! They organise the workouts in fun and creative ways so that they never get too boring or too easy. This results in whole bunch or fun and amazing transformations! Work outs at Tuffcore make it easy to be consistent with working out 3 days a week because of how fun and well suited for individual needs they are! I highly recommend this.

N. L.

Where should I begin. Before I started with tuff corse I was very inconsistent with my workout and struggling to lose weight. In May weighted about 88kg and that’s when I said energy was enough and contacted Igor. I have signed up for the 6 week classes and x2 a week workouts. Little did I know that it would actually work, even without a strict diet and mainly just doing g the weekly classes with Igor I have lost 6kg and felt much more motivated to work out and even eat cleaner. Tuffcore really helped me kick start a healthier life and helped me motivate create healthier life style habits that helped me not only lose weight but also feel better about myself mentally and physically. If you don’t know where or how to start I would say this was the best decision I have made. Results speak for them-self.

V. Y.

This is a great and fun training place. Igor makes the sessions really exciting by encouraging you to work hard while having a laugh. He is very friendly and responsive to feedback given to him and to his studio. The studio is petite which makes the sessions feel as if they are with a personal trainer. Highly recommend it.

I have been going to TUFFCORE for 6 weeks now and I never felt more comfortable and confident working out before. I always used to shy away and avoid going to the gym because I felt a lack of comfort and insecurity because of thoughts like I would be the only one not knowing what to do in the gym. Since finding out about TUFFCORE and that it’s for ladies only, I decided to give it a good and I would say that my experience has been nothing but positive. The kind of women who attend are all lovely and are here to motivate each other regardless of how long / good and experienced they are. This is further ovely coaches, coach Igor and Mody are go above and beyond to ensure that we are all comfortable and confident. It’s been 6 weeks and I am already seeing a different not just when it comes to my body measurements but with my nutrition and also mentally/emotionally. I could say that these classes have officially become part of my life routine and I genuinely look forward to the classes that I go to twice a week.

A. L.

I have join the team for a few months now and every workout feels like a nightmare, but you get to go home feeling achieved, relaxed and wanting to go back for the next one! I am grateful for coaches for their ability to make us feel one-on-one and at the same time, the small team and friendship we build a long is something I truly love about the classes. I have had personal trainer and would go to gym a lot in the past, but Tuffcoure will become part of my lifestyle now. Way to go Igor and Mody!

S. K.

Firstly completed the 6 week course in March time and continued as a member ever since. Tuffcore is definitely the most convenient and most interesting place I’ve been to, all the coaches are very professional and know their stuff, they are very helpful in helping to perfect technique and ensuring we are getting the best out of each session. Very friendly atmosphere, classes are great and the quality of training and the gym itself is outstanding. It is amazing to see such support from like minded ladies in your class, giving each other compliments and building each other up. I think this is the best feeling ever, knowing that someone is cheering you on to be the best version of yourself. Thank you Tuffcore for creating this space. Couldn’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to kickstart their fitness journey. Good luck! 😊🥰🥰🥰🥰

Y. C.

What a fab place to be a part of! Like many reviews here, I signed up as part of the 6 week training programme and continued as a member afterwards because of the great experience and personal care you get from the coaches. They manage to make every session feel different with varied workouts and goals and because we train in such small groups they can make sure you are doing every exercise properly without risking injury. An encouraging and positive environment that now actually makes me enjoy going to the gym (not something I thought I'd ever say!)

M. K.

I joined Tuffcore’s 6 week plan in April 2022 as I hit a wall with my commitment to physical training. I had started lockdown in 2020 at my fittest I had been in years. My anxiety during the pandemic was vented through continued regular exercise at home and regular runs. A year ago, ‘returning to normal’ took over and I lost that discipline and started to feel the effect immediately on my body and mind. I needed an intervention. I looked up Tuffcore and thought it fit what I needed. I joined with some level of skepticism, not that I doubted the trainers’ credentials but more the atmosphere and effectiveness of their model. I was proven wrong, thankfully :) Tuffcore delivered on their promises in three ways: 1- Tuffcore made my wants and concerns as an individual the centre of their offering. I was a visible person from the second I contacted them and not a membership number on their system. This is why it’s suitable for women from various walks of life that are short on time and energy and feel the need for better physical health irrespective of their stage of fitness and physical abilities but are tired of gyms. It’s the closest to a personal trainer provision but with less pressure both psychologically and financially. It’s that sweet-spot that provides the ‘group’ motivation of a gym without being lost in numbers and left to struggle on your own. You are an individual that gets checked on in class and outside. Missing a class becomes a rarity rather than a gym norm! 2- Tuffcore provides ‘a safe environment’ for women who empathise with and support eachother as they tackle their fitness goals. It’s a small group and the positive energy is palpable. 3- the trainers are professionals who understand physiology and carefully push your mind to meet what they judge your body is capable of doing without risks of injury. This is something not everyone can achieve without a personal trainer’s intervention. Tuffcore team treads the friendliness/authoritative line very carefully; it’s a very challenging demographic they work with and they do it very well. This is why I am back for a second course now. Thank you Tuffcore.

I've recently returned to Tuffcore for group classes after working with Igor as a PT client a few years ago. I was struggling to get back into exercise after having a baby and wanted to focus specifically on strength training as I had lost strength through having PGP while pregnant and not moving as much. I'm really glad I came back - Igor and Mody are really supportive and make a true effort to mix things up and keep the routines interesting.

M. M.

Training at TUFFcore provides just the right balance of challenge and strengthening our abilities to achieve better results. I completed the six week challenge last month after three years of not doing any form of exercise. I have since then decided to continue because I was motivated by the progress I have made. It’s not just about how many kilograms I have lost or how many centimetres I have dropped but more importantly for me, how to gradually embed a healthy lifestyle that would eventually lead to the results I am looking to achieve. Thank you coach Igor and coach Mody for your guidance and continued support through this journey.

T. T.

Tuffcore is just the right amount of friendliness, professionalism and personalization I needed. I've done one 6 weeks sesson and have continued into a second lot of 6 weeks. I look forward to going every single session. I like training with other ladies that are the same as me, and we've become friends. Igor pushes us hard and it gets results. I'm so glad I found Team Tuffcore.

L. S.

I am proud to say that I am a TUFFCORE GIRL !!!! Are you ready to be a TUFFCORE GIRL???? Fantastic gym!! that's the only thing that comes up to my mind when I think about Tuffcore.My trainers Igor and Mody are super nice and take an interest in your fitness concerns no matter what fitness level you’re at. I really like how they give me and other members ,tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. I’ve been going for a little bit and am already seeing a big change in my energy levels . The workouts are fun, the fellow members are very inspiring, non judgemental .The workouts are supervised by talented trainers who gives instant feedback ,correct's mistakes and encourage each and every one in the session. The music is blaring and the atmosphere is awesome.It’s a life changing gym experience and I recommend it highly to all my friends and family!!!!

J. C.

I whole heartedly recommend Tuffcore. It’s such a welcoming place and I felt relaxed and ready to train immediately. The workouts are tough, but really enjoyable, with fabulous results. Igor and Mody are great motivators and will help you achieve your personal goals. It’s a 5 star recommendation from me!!

Well, where do I start .. I am now coming up to the end of my 4th month at Tuffcore Fitness.. Completed my first 6 week challenge and started to realise how unfit I am... Back then I was struggling with discomfort in my lower back and finding time to exercise and improve my health was my priority. I was never a gym goer, but I attempted to join the Ladies only classes as it seemed like this is not going to put me off.. I have nothing but praise for Tuffcore Fitness as a whole. The trainers (Igor & Mody) to all my new “gym buddies”. If you have any doubts about coming in, push them aside, you will NOT regret it. There are no egos or carpet carriers, just normal ladies who want to get fitter and stronger. No matter how unfit, overweight or inflexible you think you are, you will be able to do everything, even if it does take a slight modification like it did with my body. I absolutely love going to each session and thank you so much for making the times flexible for me so that I can attend classes and see amazing results after all.

6 weeks ago I was grumpy and agitated about the fact I couldn’t motivate myself to work out. My boyfriend mentioned TuffCore. He’d seen the shop front and mentioned that the advertising was very professional. The next day, I enquired. Due to my working hours, I booked in for my free consultation phone call on a Saturday morning. Igor called on the dot and was so positive, polite and listened to my needs. I was sold. Tuesday and Thursday were my free classes with the 6 Week Transformation. On the Tuesday, Igor greeted me for the first time and straight away used my name/knew who I was. Since, he has pushed me every class - knowing what my goals are. Each session is thought out with a woman’s body in mind. Its different each time, but of course with parts that do so you can get PBs. It’s as much a face workout as a body one, constantly smiling and laughing whilst being supported mentally and physically by Igor and Mody. My time at TuffCore comes to an end next week, and I will be staying. I look forward to seeing the ladies, and feeling inspired and motivated Igor and Mody. I could say so much more. But try it for yourself!

R. C.

Best decision I've made for myself in a long time. Igor and Mody are fun, supportive and encouraging trainers, which makes workouts actually enjoyable, who knew?! The groups are small so you get to know the other people and look out for and motivate each other. As for results, it works, no doubt about it.

I've been attending small group classes for Ladies Only at Tuffcore since November last year.. It's a fantastic environment to achieve personal fitness goals, whatever they may be. After getting stuck with my goals, I knew I would get the adequate support I needed to start working out in a healthy way. What caught my attention the most was the private, small group classes for only ladies as I am not a gym goer and I never felt good in such crowded places. The group sessions are never boring and the exercises are well explained so you can improve from week to week. After just 5 months I feel so much stronger and healthier. The other female members are so lovely and supportive too, it’s fun to train in a female only environment. I would strongly recommend Tuffcore to reach your goals.

A. R.

In my opinion, this is the best place to get your fitness back on track! The fact that it is organised in small group of women adds extra motivation to push myself . The atmosphere is amazing, I never worked so hard but at the same time laughed so much! What’s more, lady’s are allowed to bring their small children to hang around (mostly running and jumping with us), which brings more fun to the class! I 100% recommend tuffcore!

A. P.

Attending TUFFCORE 3 times a week has made me fall back in love with fitness. The classes with the other ladies are fun, engaging and you left feeling love you’ve really accomplished a personal goal each time.

Having suffered a significant bereavement in my life I lost my way with fitness, routine and diet. I struggled with motivation, sleep patterns and ate junk for comfort. Feeling good about myself, having a focus on wellbeing and getting back into a healthy routine became my goal when I started with Tuff core. The trainers and the women in the group really helped me to achieve my goals. The meal plan was tasty and brilliant to help me eat well and at the correct times. The sessions, whilst hard, really pushed me to realise what I thought wasn’t possible actually was possible. The trainers are good at what they do and very responsive to what your body needs and any requests. They are extremely friendly and make you believe that you can do it. I lifted more weight than I thought possible! Tuff core was exactly what I needed to get off the couch and feel strong again. Oh and feel good at the waistband again 😉 Thank you so much all at tuff core. I look forward to seeing you all again.

7 Months Later and Igor and Mody has become my fitness family. They have helped me physically and mentally improve my health. Both offer a Supportive, Friendly, Caring Environment to work out.

M. R. M.

What a strong vibe in this place! Igor and Mody made Tuffcore so enjoyable and friendly at the same time that your body is experiencing a big change! I strongly recommend Tuffcore for your training.

H. W.

I am really bad at motivating myself to do exercise, and yet somehow I've stuck with these guys from months and months. Even when I'm exhausted, they can still get me moving. I can only assume it's down to their friendly attitudes and seemingly endless enthusiasm.

I have reached out to Tuffcore Fitness and joined '6 Week Alpha Transformation Programme' to suit my work schedule. It helped me to commit to regular training that was very effective in changing my whole body shape, especially arms, chest and legs. Struggling with dodgy knees Igor tailored my training to build up my strength and increased the weight I could handle, even in the group class without affecting the rest of the group. I gained confidence in what I could do and Igor struck the perfect balance between pushing me to achieve the most and keeping it fun to work out. The strength improvements I have made has been brilliant. My knees are a lot stronger now which helps me with my hobbies and running. I would highly recommend Tuffcore Fitness for anyone looking for a successful and long lasting Transformation. The best thing about the Tuffcore Fitness studio is that it's private, non intimidating and almost every person in there knows each other, it really does feel like one big community. Due to my working hours I have changed the classes few times giving me the opportunity to meet new people and even then I didn't feel intimidated or nervous, it just felt great being acknowledged in the group. Thank you again. Team Tuffcore.

Me and my son have been training at TUFFCORE for over a year and we both really enjoy the sessions. They are really fun and challenging and the results are incredible. The trainers are really good and do an amazing job motivating you to do your best. Would recommend.

M. N.

I had my best training with Tuffcore, starting in 2014 I was pushed hard in Muay Thai classes, later I was introduced in to high intensity workouts and had some amazing results. Very inspiring and motivating coach.

L. B.

Absolutely love this place the vibe is AMAZING I am not going to lie I was really worried about joining I struggle with confidence and consistency and thought that I would just fail , the classes are so much fun yes I actually said fun that it makes me want to keep going back and back . Although there are 6 ladies in the class you also get a lot of one to one time with the coaches to ensure your completing the exercise correctly .I leave every session Absolutely buzzing and wanting more !

S. A.

If you like taking challenges, you should join Tuffcore personal training. Igor is focused on helping me achieve my goals. Since I joined tuffcore my fitness has improved noticeably. I have seen improvements in my ability to complete the challenges he gives during the sessions.He is always full of energy and ready to start the training as soon as you are there. He is very professional and I would recommend Igor and his team to anyone who wants to improve their health and well-being.

N. D. P.

Personal trainers are professional and support you and encourage you to achieve goals. The climate in the lessons is fun and this helps to face exercises with a smile. The environment is complete with all necessary equipment, the workouts are various and adapt to the needs of each one.

My journey into my personal fitness has not been straight forward. Previously, I was forever putting exercise in the back of my priority to do list. The covid pandemic began, lockdown ensued, and my routine was just working in a hospital and going home. Fortunately, the Groundhog Day routine eased once lockdown relaxed, which in turn got me thinking if I am to take care of people to the best of my ability, I needed to focus on my own self-care and well- being. What enticed me to join Tuffcore was that it catered for women only, and women over the ages of thirty, it was reassuring to know that the group of ladies were probably like minded and in the same boat in relation to fitness. I was pleasantly proven wrong. The women in my class were amazingly strong and fast paced, whereas I was embarrassingly feeble in strength! I knew I had to play catch-up and continue to do so. What made it easy to adjust and become part of the group was that the ladies were extremely forthcoming and supportive from the outset. From the beginning, I was welcomed by both coach’s Igor and Mody. Their laid-back persona made me very comfortable to engage in class, free of any intimidation. We frequently discuss dietary needs, intake which led me to change some eating habits. I eased off the takeaways in the evening and I now rarely eat after 8pm. They continue to push me in improving my strength and stamina by increasing weights in training. Diet modifications and regular exercise regimen helped me to return to my size six form, all my clothes now fit better, and I am now in the best shape ever. I am incredibly grateful to both Coach’s for my physical transformation results, and I look forward to maintaining as well as improving on this status by consistently attending the training sessions.

Tuffcore Fitness and especially the '6 Week Fitter Body Programme' has given me not only a total body transformation but confidence and happiness too! I couldn’t be happier with my results so far, I have dropped 1.5 stone in my first 12 weeks and I couldn't not be happier with how interesting the journey has been.. I have implemented my eating regimes, began training with Tuffcore 3 times per week with a group of ladies that are fantastic, funny, bubbly and really supportive.. I really didn’t realise that actual training and getting results can be so fun! Training with other ladies in the class kept it competitive while building a great relationship with our trainer, allowing them to push us further in our sessions. I am really happy with my overall results and I hope that others can also reach the goals and feel what I feel.. Thank you Igor!

M. A. S.

Totally recommended. The atmosphere in the studio is incredible. You work hard but you have fun. In addition, the coaches motivate you so much that you can do incredible things without even realizing it.

L. H.

Absolutely love training with Igor. He is such a good motivator. Never judges, just always helps you improve. There are normally 4 in our class but we all receive the personal attention. The other women are so friendly too, we feel like friends in no time. Great workouts by a true professional, value for money and if you do what Igor says, eating well too, in 6 weeks you can transform yourself. The weight comes off and your body tones completely. Amazing!

J. D. E.

Very friendly and welcoming place. The work you have to do is hard, but effective. I would never achieve such a good results on my own. Thank you Team TUFFcore!

D. B.

I thought about training for a while and thought it might be good for me. I was already good with going to the gym and my diet actually wasn’t too bad. I put it off for a while and a couple of my friends had training with Igor at Tuffcore Fitness. I must say procrastinated for a little bit and eventually got round to beginning my own journey. The training was great and the diet info was very helpful but the changes didn’t happen right away. I was already in a medium shape so it was a bit of a struggle to do the level of exercise and diet I needed to for changes to start happening however with his mental support I've managed to come out the other end with fantastic results. Having Igor as a coach continually nudging me to get to the gym and sending across my food diary every day helped to keep me on track to get me into the best shape I’ve been in for a long time. We also went through exercises and training plans I just wouldn’t have known about or been able to do without properly being shown how. I am really satisfied with the changes to my body as well as to my daily lifestyle. I would strongly recommend joining Tuffcore Fitness if you're looking to change your lifestyle without feeling lost..

A. K.

I highly recommended this place. Tuffcore team motivates us. I was insecure at first but I am much stronger and better now. It’s not only for 6 weeks… it’s changed my life for better! It’s your class! Don’t think to much... just come and do it !!

A. L.

I know Igor on personal level. As I always saw his hard work and enthusiasm and remarkable approach to his clients, I joined his '6 Week Alpha Transformation Programme' .. I then realised it was the best decision I could've made.. The studio is really private, we have all the equipment to ourselves, nobody comes around shouting, nobody is there to distract us, we can only focus on training - it felt so comfortable. It’s safe to say that I have found what I was looking for and I was very confident in getting my desired goals with Tuffcore Fitness. During the '6 Week Alpha Transformation Programme', Igor has demonstrated an undeniable energy to lift me and other guys in the group on the tough days, in-depth knowledge on movements, to not only tell us what to do but to educate us. I am really happy with the results I have gotten over the past few months and I am looking forward to even better progress in the coming weeks..

P. K.

I am so pleased to give you this testimonial to the transformation you have achieved with my physical goals in the last 4 months. For over 5 years I have tried to train and largely failed. Ever since I was younger I wanted to build a good physique and learn how to stay consistent with my trainings as well as build the confidence in myself. When I joined the '6 Week Alpha Transformation Programme' I can see how much you cared for your clients and that has kept me motivated and focused on achieving the goal I set, which I have exceeded. I have enjoyed the group training a lot, I am injury free, I am lighter than I have been since the last year and fitter and stronger than ever. Best of all my misses thinks I look good! Like most people I think the biggest struggle is the food. Your advice along with the delicious recipes and weekly check ins have kept me on track and I enjoy food so much more, and have eliminated the unpleasant symptoms from the bad habits I had developed over the years. I could go on about the massive benefits including the great stress relief training has become for me with your coaching and the rest of the group at Tuffcore Fitness. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything.

S. M.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Tuffcore. At first, I was hesitant to sign up but ended up doing the 6 week program, twice! :) The classes were great for building muscle and toning up. Small class sizes that were always very friendly and motivating. The sessions were well planned and challenging without risking injury. Both Igor and Mody were excellent trainers. Highly recommend!

K. S.

Please, do yourself a favour, pick up the phone and book your first session with Tuffcore. You will not regret it. I went to Tuffcore to tone up and slim down after having children over 2 years ago and I'm still going. With PT classes I never hesitate about showing up, and I never check the clock during each session. Tuffcore really takes the time to build a strong rapport with all of their clients and gets to know them and their goals. He is incredibly supportive, but you work hard. He tailors every session, so it never gets boring and the chat and banter makes it fly by. Can't recommend this highly enough. I'm fitter, stronger and happier as a result.

R. C.

I began '6 Week Alpha Transformation Programme' with Tuffcore Fitness following few minor injuries, with the goal to get back to exercising regularly but safely. Igor’s approach to each session has been great where we have focused as a group on rebuilding core strength, reintroducing weights as well as cardio, it's literally super effective sessions when you mix these 3... and the results are fantastic, after few weeks my shoulders have become so much more visible. Combining my own jogs with our 6 Week Alpha Training have helped me get my back to ful recovery and I am becoming stronger, feel great and my confidence is off the roof. If you have a fitness goal, I’d definitely recommend trying Tuffcore Fitness .. Finding the right people and especially the group where you feel like you're part of the team, motivated and ready to train hard.. Thank you guys!

'After starting the '6 Week ALPHA Transformation Programme' I have realised the attention to detail of the programme at Tuffcore is a different level. From the carefully planned six weeks to the tailored nutrition plans to each individual and different set of each workout. As well as the end goals and transformation results.. I’ve felt a part of really strong team throughout the program and it all has been a great experience. My strength is increasing even whilst dieting and choosing healthier products.. My confidence to exercise has increased massively and I am super pumped to continue my journey with Tuffcore Fitness.. I couldn't be more happier with the results I've got so far and I am excited to see what the near future holds for me.. Thank you..

'Having been infrequent gym goer, I decided to invest in some group classes to maintain my enthusiasm and make the most of my gym membership. I didn't feel very confident to enter the big commercial gym so I was searching for something smaller and less intimidating and then I came across Tuffcore Fitness. Igor helped me to understand the importance of healthier nutrition and thought me how to exercise correctly, something I would never have previously contemplated, with a combination of gym work and a child. Following the '6 Week Body Transformation Program' we revised my progress we've had great overall results, lesser BMI and weight drop.. I never knew that Fitness can actually be so enjoyable with such a great team of ladies in the class, great atmosphere and very, very friendly environment.. Since I've started we;ve never completed the same workout - ever!.. Coaches vary our routine and maintain our energy and enthusiasm during the programme. The team at Tuffcore really do care about you and supports you all the way through enabling you to keep exercising safely leading to quick fat loss. Without hesitating I would definitely recommend Tuffcore Fitness for any lady in her 40's.

T. C.

The best decision I ever made! I was never a gym person, but working with Igor in 1 to 1 and in her small classes is a game changer. Absolutely worth it! And you don't have anything to loose. Always a good atmosphere, I have been working out with Igor for almost 2 years now.

J. H.

An excellent workout team that support you all the way. Perfect if you’re new to exercising or feel self conscious.

N. B.

What can i say. As an unfit mother of 2 with very little infact zero self confidence and had no clue what i was doing when it came to keeping fit and self motivation. It was only at a stage where it was getting to stressful and i knew i had to do something about it ,worse at my age . When i googled personal trainers in my area i was taken away from the reviews ive seen about Tuffcore ,so decided to give it a go. Ive been with tuffcore for nearly 4months and all i can say is i do not regret it at all. Igor is so amazing helped me understand what i was doing, on days where i felt like giving up as training was a bit tuff . Igor was so motivating and encouraging kept me going. We in a team/class with ladies and Igor always pays attention to each individuals needs. I highly recommend him. My confidence levels have increased drastically. He makes the classes so interesting and fun. But also makes sure that goals are reached. Thanks Igor 4stars well deserved .

K. O.

Wasn't sure signing up, but after one session I was hooked. So friendly and motivating! They got me thinking about fitness again but also general lifestyle with work life balance and eating better. Would totally recommend!

A. P.

It was the best decision I could have made by joining Tuffcore . I Love it ! 🥰

M. O. G.

Really love tuffcore always helpful it’s helped me gain confidence and I now I know I can achieve anything would highly recommend

J. S.

Have been a member of this studio for over three months now and it is without doubt the best female gym in Oxford.. I never loved exercising more, and it's all down to the team and other ladies in the class who are like minded and there is always a healthy challenge, which makes the workouts so much more enjoyable. The coaches are extremely supportive and knowledgeable and everyone is made to feel welcome and part of a big family. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to start their fitness journey if you're ready to discover new you.

E. B.

Finding Tuffcore has been amazing. I enquired 8 weeks before I actually joined and wish I had joined earlier. I’ve always joined gyms and quit as all I want is to be worked hard and feel shattered and I have finally realised I can’t do that on my own or in gym classes. What Tuffcore and Igor provide is unique and tailored to their clients, they know what they are talking about. I joined to lose weight and tone up before my wedding and lost 7kg in 8 weeks. Igor has been amazing, he’s worked me hard, always has energy, and got me where I needed to be. I still have work to do so have continued after my wedding and will continue until I am sure I have the tools to do this on my own. It’s a life balance which I’m still learning! What’s nice to I know I always have the support though. Thank you Igor!

I'm a full time professional fighter and have been for over a decade, currently world ranked #17 and previously winning a world title I've trained under and alongside hundreds of fighters and coaches, but Igor has a genuine passion for his clients and training partners, we were lucky enough to be part of the same gym for a couple of years and his clients really flourished training under him in his transformation challenges and I really enjoyed working with him as a training partner, if you want a body transformation challenge or if you want a good training partner, recommended!

Recently I started at Tuffcore Personal Training, I was frustrated, fed up and tired of things that DO NOT work for me.. Everybody seems to be giving me an advice but I did not follow the advice as it simply didn't work for me.. I was hoping that it will work but everybody is different and I knew I need professional approach.. I have now been training and working out with Igor Matejski as my Personal Coach for over 2 months.. Each workout is different, always challenging and everything is structured based on my mood, strength and abilities.. After just a month I started to realise that I was getting stronger, leaner and so much more energetic.. We also working on stopping me smoke and changing my daily habits that will lead to changing my lifestyle.. I am so happy I can finally get compliments about the way I look at work and I feel amazing.. - This is ONLY a beginning and since I am so impatient I cannot wait for the RESULTS...!! Thank you so much Igor.. TeamTuffcore !!

I am new in town and I have just been going for 2 weeks because as it comes to regular gym routines, those haven't worked out for me. Having a personal trainer that focuses on me, my posture even when I am in class of 4 to 6 women, I still have the attention from the trainers. After each training session I can feel my body burning and I am glad because that is a sign that I am working hard to get fit. Sometimes the number of attendance increases but on the positive side we do alternative workout one start and one rest, sounds easy but the faster the other person works out the less time you have to rest compare to the gym if I was alone, I would have given up because no one would have been there to push, motivate me and keep me working hard. In those group I have come to meet many wonderful ladies who encouraged each others to get in shape and also share healthy eating habits. I worked long variable hours and it is financially affordable for me to join the group classes. My schedules changes at the time but I have managed to be flexible and go three times a week to either the morning sessions or evening ones. They do offer individual classes as well at different times of the day but I prefer the group sessions at moment. NmB

Out of many tried and many failures, Tuffcore is by mile the best personal training support in Oxford. Great value for the money and fantastic motivation to reach my personal goal! Would recommend to anyone.

An excellent location with a fantastic set up and amazing personal trainers that show great dedication to you individually, no matter what fitness level you are at. The workouts are tough but always fun. What makes Tuffcore fantastic and really stand out from other places is the real community spirt you feel part of. Best decision I made this year was actually joining and I am so pleased with the results achieved so far. Would recommend 💯

I had an amazing 6 weeks at Tuffcore Fitness. Igor and Mody were very supportive and l loved the ladies that were in my classes. I have a busy work schedule and with two kids as well, finding a perfect time for training has always been a challenge for me. Igor was very supportive and he helped me work out a schedule that would work for me. I can honestly say l had the best summer ever this year because my 6 weeks at Tuffcore were great. So l would encourage all the ladies, nomatter how busy your life is, Tuffcore is the place to be. So go for the trial session and l promise, u will go back(although after my 1st session l was in soo much pain 🤣).

I want to share my experience with you. Every day at Tuffcore has been a discovery for me physically and mentally. Talking about the physical part may fall into the routine of any gym or personal trainer, but when the experiences of Igor and Mody work together with the positivism, strength, charisma and care they have individually for each of us, then it becomes something very special. In my case I can tell you that I have never enjoyed any type of physical exercise, I am not going to lie to you by telling you that now I like them but at least now I enjoy doing them, I do not want to miss any training because every day I leave there with physical and mental batteries charged for each day to move forward and achieve my physical goal and also other goals related to. THANK YOU, because you make us feel part of you, not as part of a business.

I started my 6 Week program with Tuffcore in May and am still here :-) . I absolutely love it and recommend you try it out! This was a big challenge for me as I was totally out of my comfort zone but was keen to see what Tuffcore could offer me after seeing their advert on Instagram. Coach Igor and Coach Mody are both so friendly, they also make the classes fun, challenging and know how to push me as well as making me feel comfortable. I am definitely seeing changes! These guys make regular contact outside of our classes too, which helps you stay on track. The classes are small and fun with all ladies all wanting to smash their goals. I am so much fitter and stronger that what I was and cant wait to see more of my body changes in the next coming weeks/months. As an added bonus I have formed lovely relationships with the ladies that attend.

Tuffcore honesty changed my relationship with exercise and how I felt in myself. I love the small group nature of the workouts; it means you get attention and support but without the relentless (and sometimes awkward) focus on a 1-1 trainer. The atmosphere is so fun and the time generally flies by. Igor and Mody are a brilliant team and I’m so glad I made the decision to train with them.

If committing yourself to exercise is something you find difficult, this is the place for you :) I found a place that was warm (probably due to sweat) and friendly, where I felt I fit in and fought alongside other ladies throughout our fitness journeys. I have fit into some size 10 dresses that I didn't fit in before after 6 weeks! If you want dedicated trainers and a great atmosphere, go here!

Excellent atmosphere! Igor is really friendly and motivating, always happy and helpful. The groups are small and there are structured routines to help you achieve what you want. Would definitely recommend! :)

At tuff core Igore is my personal trainer i’ve been training with him for more then 2 years.he’s an excellent person and work with a small groups and also worked one on one with clients, some simply working for gains or fitness but also with certain injury rehabilitations, Igore developed fitness plans, and designed individual workout regimens. He had the largest list of customers wishing to wok with him. Igore’s interpersonal skills, his fitness knowledge and abilities, and his diligent work ethic made him the best trainer at tuff core for many years. He truly cares about his clients, and he has the skills to develop plans that will truly help them, so I highly recommend him for the personal development and training and to build the confident. he is an amazing person always helped me when i needed

I have been training with Tuffcore for almost 3 months, after not doing any exercise for 4 years. The change I see in my body and mind was so quick. I am feeling stronger, fitter and happier about my body. The small group and personal approach keep me motivated and not wanting to miss one class. Highly recommended!

Can’t recommend this all ladies gym enough! I’ve been at Tuffcore Ladies ONLY classes for a few months and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself was by joining. The place is brilliant with loads of friendly and very helpful coaches (Igor & Mody) that work alongside you especially if you need that extra support or guidance. I’ve met some great people and just love going to the place if not for my fitness but for my mental health also.. 😍 Since starting Ladies only classes my mental health has improved drastically and I am feeling more confident with myself.. Thanks for everything... ❤️

Really enjoying my Tuffcore experience. I joined the six week programme with a goal in mind - to fit a wedding dress in three months time. Wedding has passed (I fit!) but I'm staying - beyond the weight loss it's such a joy to feel yourself getting stronger and healthier, and the training and encouragement from Igor and Mody is absolutely brilliant. Small class sizes with lovely other ladies make it feel a very safe and friendly (and non judgemental) atmosphere, and the trainers are always supportive and motivating while mixing up the classes so that it is never dull. I've never enjoyed exercise that wasn't a sport before, or been able to stick with it, but I really feel motivated to keep to the regime and work for the results.
