Outstanding Gym Experience!
Outstanding Gym Experience!
I’ve had such a positive experience at this gym. The facilities are always clean, modern, and well-maintained, with a great variety of equipment for every type of workout — from cardio machines to free weights and functional training spaces.
The atmosphere is friendly and motivating, never intimidating, and the staff are incredibly supportive and professional. They are always ready to give advice, offer encouragement, and make you feel welcome from the very first day.
I also really appreciate the range of classes available, which are both challenging and enjoyable, and led by enthusiastic trainers who truly care about your progress.
This gym has not only helped me improve my fitness but has also become a place where I feel part of a community. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to train, whether you are a beginner or more advanced

Possibly 5* gym
I feel the gym is a nice gym clean tidy the only fault I have with the gym is there is a lot of slopes and my ankle has gone a few times with makes it difficult too walk round without tripping on the rubber slopes, if this was sorted it would be much better I feel someone one day will really hurt there self and the gym would get legal actions brought on them, which would be a shame because other then that it’s a really nice gym👍

The gym is cramped
The gym is cramped, there are way too many school kids allowed in there during the week days. The staff allow people to exercise in bare feet on the mats, this is disgusting.
Some of the personnel trainers in the gym are way too loud and overbearing.

Friendly gym
I've been really impressed with Better Gym - Mere Green thus far. Really helpful staff with energetic and fun classes. It is a smaller gym than I'm used to but has all the kit that you could need. Maybe more mats would be useful but I haven't explored the potential of using the studio for matt/floor work if the matts in the gym area are occupied. The Sauna/Steam room spa is a hidden gem! Rarely anybody in there and relaxing music and greenery makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend
