Testimonials
If I could give 10 stars, I would. I can’t speak highly enough of the encouragement and positive attitude of the staff, coaches, and fellow members at Rivals Gym Motherwell."
"Initially our little ones started the kids classes here in Motherwell, and it wasn’t long before I wanted to join in on the action too. I was a hesitant beginner, aware of my fitness levels and nervous to try something new. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone has been so welcoming and encouraging. The ethos of the gym has motivated me to carry on, and I genuinely look forward to every single class now."
"I can’t express enough gratitude for how the staff engage with our children. They have grown in confidence, improved their fitness, and discovered a love for a new sport. Brilliant team — thank you for all that you do at Motherwell!

A post appeared on my FB timeline about Rivals Gym Motherwell. I live locally, so I decided to give it a go. I called and spoke to Scott and explained my situation (I was struggling with anxiety and depression). Scott's exact words to me were, 'It'll be the best thing you've ever done,' and he was absolutely right! I've only been attending for a few months, but I absolutely love it. Don’t get me wrong, it was challenging at first, but my fitness and mental health have improved immensely, and I now attend three times a week."
"The instructors are fantastic, and everyone at the gym is friendly and helpful. There are no egos here, so you never feel out of place. If you think you're too old, you're not — I’m 52! If you’re considering it, why not try a free class? You have nothing to lose and, like me, a lot to gain at Rivals Gym Motherwell!

Over the years, I have trained at a variety of gyms, but none compare to being at Rivals Gym Motherwell. The coaching is next level, with everyone dedicated to helping each other improve without any egos in the way. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for more than just a gym experience. 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
