Our Vision

To empower healthy and positive change in the people of Ipswich

Gyms have been letting people down for far too long. Glorifying hard, unsustainable workouts while fostering unhealthy relationships with both food and exercise. 

Having witnessed this problem first hand our founder Ben decided to create a change. SSA is a gym in Ipswich with a more professional, grown up approach, designed to serve you better.

I have trained at many different gyms and always go through the same cycle, start off really keen and consistant and then I will become busy with work and miss a couple of weeks and then struggle to get back in the gym and eventually stop going. Then I found Ssa.
I still have the busy weeks where I struggle to find the time to make it in to the gym but the big difference is that the coaches genuinely care and want to see you in the gym. So once I have missed a week or even 2 they will be in contact asking if everything is ok and when I can next make it in. Just a little nudge that I need to get me back in. I have now been going for 3 years and really enjoy going to the gym.

There is nothing intimidating about SSA; the coaches are so supportive and expert in what they do and the other members offered me a really warm welcome when I joined and are such fun to train with. The coaches have enabled me to achieve my goals of building strength and being consistent in my approach to fitness – this was after years of not being able to find a gym that felt like a good fit for me. Everyone should go to SSA, it’s brilliant.

If you’re looking for a gym that feels more like a family, SSA Personal Gym Training is the place to be. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed with a friendly and supportive atmosphere where everyone genuinely cares about your progress.

Whether you’re looking to build strength, lose weight, or improve your overall fitness, SSA provides expert guidance tailored to your goals.

What sets SSA apart is the perfect balance between hard work and enjoyment. You’ll train hard, but you’ll also have a laugh along the way. It’s not just about lifting weights; it’s about lifting each other up. If you want a gym where you’re more than just a member – where you’re part of a team that supports, motivates, and celebrates every win – SSA Personal Gym Training is the place for you.

I wanted to find somewhere fun with a good atmosphere but most importantly somewhere that would push me and motivate me to exercise reguarily and get me into a healthy routine. I have never dreaded going to any of my sessions, I enjoy it and the PTs & members are great, so friendly and supportive, you’ll feel you’ve been there for years very quickly. It’s a friendly & fun atmosphere, everyone is there to work hard and support each other and there are no ego’s. The sessions are challenging and varied, I feel pushed to work harder and they know exactly where I’m at physically, what I need to strengthen and generally improve on. I’d recommend SSA to anyone that is struggling to find motivation, wants to find something different and fun, to be part of a supportive community & generally needs a kick up the bum to achieve a decent and targeted workout regime! I wish I’d joined sooner.

It’s a running joke that I’ve got a membership for most gyms in Ipswich however I can honestly say that SSA is my favourite. It has the right balance of great training and good banter. The coaches really care and I’ve never felt as good as I do today. Thanks Ben and team!!!!

This is the gym you have been looking for all your fitness life. Small group classes with a team of great coaches. Individual attention so you get the most out of the sessions, challenging when it needs to be, focused on you and most importantly fun! A tour de force. 😁

I’ve been a member to many gyms in my past, SSA is by the far the best. You are known by your name and not just a number. The coaches are great, always welcome you with a smile, high five & your name!!! Although I may not be feeling a session, I’m sure glad I did it when it’s over, it puts me in a happy place. Very good for a menopausal woman! Would I recommend SSA, 💯

I can’t tell you if this is the best gym around because, to be honest, I’ve never stuck at any other gym before. However, the fact that I am still going to the gym 2-3 times per week 2.5 years after I first joined is testament to what a special place this is. As someone who HATED physical exercise, and someone who thought working out with a bunch of sweaty men was terrifying, I can honestly say that coming to SSA has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s the only time in my week where time stops and I don’t think about anything other than what I’m doing that minute. The sweaty men are really kind, funny and push me to work harder. And the women are strong, confident and inspiring. On the odd occasion I miss the gym, it impacts my mood and energy levels. I am a better wife, mum and business owner for coming to this gym and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
