Brilliant gym with both DEKA and Hyrox classes. I have been doing the DEKA class and today took part in the DEKA mile. Fantastic event, well organised, ran smoothly and the judges were awesome. Would highly recommend and will be back 🥰
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Jodi, I really appreciate your feedback and energy in classes. Onwards to the next event!!

I started attending Hyrox specific training sessions at BFunctional in the run up to my first Hyrox in Cardiff. The coaching, technique practice and tips were invaluable and I only wish I had done this earlier! On the day of the event, bumping into some of the other members before and after, and having Bethan shout encouragement to me during the race was so welcome and gave a much needed boost of confidence and support. To be able to join classes and get coaching at that level was the best thing I did in the run up. The excellent guidance and the fun, hard working atmosphere at the gym is contagious! Everyone is friendly, welcoming and encouraging and I really felt part of something special going into the Cardiff event. I plan to continue training to improve for my next Hyrox event. Massive thanks to Bethan 🙏
Response from the owner:Wowser, what a fab review, thanks so much Emma. It was equally great to see you on the course at HYROX Cardiff. You are well and truly part of the community. Onwards to the next event. 💪

Beth is a fantastic trainer who is very knowledgeable and professional. She has a great ability to motivate; her classes are hard work but great fun and you always finish the class feeling so much better than when you started. I never thought that when I started going to Beth's classes I would end up entering DEKA and HYROX.
Response from the owner:Thank you Tom. Worth mentioning you participated in the DEKA world championships and took a last minute spot at HYROX Cardiff! I look forward to directing you towards your next goal!

I started going to BFunctional initially for PT sessions with my mum, and it’s honestly been such a positive experience from the start. Beth is an amazing coach — so supportive, motivating and knowledgeable, and she really makes you feel comfortable no matter your fitness level. Training with Beth motivated me to sign up for my very first HYROX, and since then I’ve gone on to complete 4 HYROX events and even run 2 marathons, all while training at BFunctional with her support. The evening classes are brilliant too. Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, everyone is so encouraging and the sessions are always challenging but enjoyable. It’s made my training consistent and something I genuinely look forward to every week. Couldn’t recommend Beth enough!
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you Rhi 🙏 You have achieved so much alongside a full-time and demanding job. Thank you for trusting in me with your training. Onwards 💪🙌

BFunctional has a really motivating atmosphere—no matter your fitness level, you feel comfortable and supported. Since joining, I’ve been much more consistent with my workouts and actually look forward to coming in! I would highly recommend BFunctional to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and motivating place to train. Bethan leads by example and has a wealth of experience that she shares with us all - she even gets us to compete competitively in Hyrox and Deka events! There’s always a challenge to aim for. 10/10 🌟🌟🌟
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review Pip. That really is super feedback. You have achieved incredible goals in the gym and on the DEKA/HYROX race floor. Onwards and always upwards.💪

I started going to BFunctional classes sometime last year. Bethan encouraged me to try one of her Hyrox classes in Feb and before I knew it, I’d signed up to my first solo Hyrox event (Hyrox Cardiff). In the lead up to the event I attended a variation of different Hyrox classes. The coaching and support from Bethan really helped me to prepare for the event. Bethan is an excellent coach with a real emphasis on safety and ensuring the correct techniques are used. As a coach who competes herself, Bethan not only provides support as a professional but insight and learning from her own experiences as a competing athlete. This level of expertise was invaluable (particularly as a first timer) & I absolutely couldn’t of completed it without Beth & the BFunctional community’s support! If you are looking for somewhere to train to get fit or are looking for a new challenge in a safe supportive environment, I would definitely recommend BFunctional, all abilities are welcomed and celebrated! :)
Response from the owner:Really grateful for this feedback Nina — thank you! Can’t wait to see how you progress further, perhaps a DEKA event next?! -BF

Training with Beth has been one of the best things I’ve done this last year. I’m fitter, stronger and hitting better Hyrox times thanks to her coaching, support and motivation. She creates such a positive atmosphere in class and somehow makes really hard sessions enjoyable! 🤩 So grateful for all the encouragement along the way!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Rhian. You fully embrace the BF ethos, taking part in all offerings, classes, SGPT, DEKA & HYROX. Look forward to your future!

I couldn’t recommend Bethan and BFunctional more! Her Hyrox classes are the best I’ve ever been to — her knowledge of the event and understanding of what’s required to perform your best is unmatched. The training plans she creates to prepare you for Hyrox are second to none. If you’re looking for a welcoming, supportive fitness community that also delivers amazing classes and training experiences, BFunctional is absolutely the place to be.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words James — it means a lot to know you’re enjoying the journey with BF. Appreciate you taking the time to share this! See you at the next HYROX SIM! - BF

I’ve been training one-to-one with Bethan since January 2026 and honestly, she’s incredible. My sister’s incredible progress persuaded me to give Bfunctional a try. When I started, I was pretty weak and had no idea how much progress I could make. Now I’m stronger, leaner, more confident, and training towards my first DEKA! My waist is down an inch, I’ve lost fat, built muscle, and actually look forward to every session. Bethan keeps things fun and interesting. One week it’s pull-ups and squats, the next it’s tank pushes and all sorts of functional fitness moves I never imagined I could do. She knows exactly how to push me just the right amount, and I’d never train as hard or as consistently without her. If you’re thinking about working with her, do it. She’s the best decision I’ve made for my health and fitness. 💪🏾
Response from the owner:Thanks a million for leaving a review Stephanie. Knowing that your experience with BFunctional Fitness has made a real impact is exactly why I do what we do. Keep up the amazing work! -BF

First visited BFunctuonal post lock down. I wanted to get my fitness levels back up before I joined a gym as I always preferred to work out solo. I have been going to classes ever since. The classes are so varied and cater for all levels and Beth is by far the best coach I have ever worked with. Everyone is very welcoming with many external social events
Response from the owner:Really appreciate you taking the time to write this Neil— thank you! Coaching clients like you makes what I do so rewarding. Excited to continue pushing boundaries together. -BF

I’ve been going to Beth’s fitness classes for a while now and absolutely love them! The sessions are suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Beth is extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to adapt exercises to suit you or work around any injuries. Every class starts with a thorough warm-up and the exercises change each week, which keeps things fresh and challenging. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating. I always leave feeling like I’ve had a really good workout! My sister and I are currently training for HYROX, and Beth’s classes have been brilliant for helping us prepare. Since joining, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my strength and endurance, which has made a real difference to my training. During classes, Beth often coaches us through movements, focusing on a different area or technique each week to help us improve. Couldn’t recommend her classes more!
Response from the owner:Thank you Caitlin, that is just awesome to read. It's safe to say you and your sister on are on track for the HYROX doubles. Let's keep this going 🙌 -Bethan

I took part in a DEKA Strong event at this gym and had a fantastic experience. The organization was top-notch — everything ran smoothly and on time. I truly felt like I was training in my home gym. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the support from the team and community was outstanding. Highly recommended for both events and regular training!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Aleksandr 🙏🏻 I’m glad you had a good experience at our DEKA event. You were on fire 🔥

I was a bit nervous going into the session as I haven’t trained at a gym in a while. Bethan made it fun, and she pitched the session to my capabilities perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised to see I could do more than I thought. Bethan put a lot of attention on form and actively encouraging me through each part of the session. I walked in feeling weak and walked out feeling like a warrior. I’m excited for our next session.

I’ve now been training with Beth for almost a year. I feel so different to when I started. I’m more flexible, more stable, stronger and generally fitter. Beth seems to know exactly how far to push you so that you know you’ve been pushed but don’t feel unable to walk the next morning. I can’t recommend signing up to Beth and BFunctional highly enough.
Response from the owner:Such a kind review, thank you. Let's keep striving for those goals. Great session today 👏

Me and my girlfriend stayed in the Celtic manor and gave this a go to test ourselves was very much worth it and throughly enjoyed. Even if you aren’t staying I recommend trying this Beth and rich were very friendly and explained all of the exercises and format really well. They opened up earlier for us on Saturday to fit us in which they didn’t have to do and it shows how willing they are to help people and how passionate they are about fitness. They are happy to encourage you if you want to push yourself or they can adjust the movements to suit everyone’s needs if you’re only just starting out on your fitness journey. Highly recommend.

Beth at Bfunctional has been a complete revelation to me for my fitness journey. She pushes you in such a way you don’t realise just how much you are managing to achieve. Her knowledge and passion for her job is so apparent which then brushes off on you. The facility and equipment are of the highest standard. I cannot recommend highly enough. Also great music!!

I attended the Hyrox Simulation. Great layout! Everything set up well and easy to follow and understand! Beth and Rich were great and very supportive throughout! The event was harder than I thought it would be but the coaches explain everything very well and motivate you through the whole simulation. Enjoyed and will definitely be back!

It has been life changing for me working with Bethan on improving my mobility and flexibility. I’ve always classed myself as someone who just wasn’t flexible or able to do certain exercises because of my back but fast forward a few months and I am in a completely different place with my flexibility and my back. Bethan has also incorporated core exercises and movements to improve my golf swing which has made a massive difference. Bethan’s attention to detail during the PT sessions is amazing and helps me learn the correct techniques to ensure I am exercising safely. Every session is planned in detail and progress tracked which in turn allows me to see how far I’ve come. I walk out of each PT session with a real buzz from a great workout! Thanks again Bethan.
Response from the owner:What an incredible review! Thank you. You continue to make progress, notably tonight, a breakthrough session! Well done David.
