Why Benchmark Gym Has Been Nominated for Two Stockport Business Awards
Benchmark Gym has been recognised for its commitment to Stockport, its supportive coaching and the community it has built over almost 12 years.
We received some brilliant news recently. Benchmark Gym has been nominated for two Stockport Business Awards — The Stockport Award and Business of the Year.
For almost 12 years, we've been helping people across Stockport become fitter, stronger and more confident. To receive this kind of local recognition means a great deal to the whole team.
Our commitment to the Stockport community
The Stockport Award recognises businesses with strong local connections and a genuine commitment to the area.
Benchmark has always been more than somewhere to exercise. It is a welcoming, supportive gym in Stockport where ordinary people can improve their health without feeling intimidated or judged.

What makes Benchmark different from a normal gym?
The Business of the Year nomination recognises the overall health and long-term sustainability of the business.
One thing that makes Benchmark different is our employed team of dedicated personal trainers. Our trainers are not freelancers using the gym to train their own private clients — they are here for you.
You don't simply receive a gym membership and get left to work everything out alone. You receive genuine personal training, guidance and accountability throughout your experience.
Coaching during every session
Every Group Personal Training session is led by a Benchmark coach. The coaches show members what to do, help with technique and adapt exercises around each member's current fitness, confidence, ability or injuries.
Support between sessions
Members can contact their trainer through the Benchmark app whenever they have a question or need additional support. You literally have a trainer in your pocket every day.
Personal progress reviews
Members can sit down face-to-face with a trainer to discuss their goals, review their progress and decide what to work on next.
A Stockport gym for ordinary people
Benchmark members are not professional athletes. They are everyday people looking to get fitter and feel stronger.
- ✓NHS nurses
- ✓Teachers
- ✓Police officers
- ✓Mums and dads
- ✓Grandparents
- ✓Complete beginners
- ✓People returning to exercise after several years away
Some members want to become stronger, while others want more energy, greater confidence, fewer aches and pains or help becoming active again.
