Great experience built by the trainers

The key to a great experience is the staff creating a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere, and the team of trainers at BGS do just that. They are professional and knowledgeable and yet really approachable at any level.
You just want to keep coming back for more!!
And the building is clean and light, good mix of classes, new things to try like pickel ball and a well-equipped gym, with the added bonus of a squash court.

An excellent facility

The gym stands out primarily due to its **exceptional staff**. Each member of the team is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and supported, offering personalized advice on workouts and equipment use. The atmosphere they create is motivating yet non-intimidating, which greatly enhances the overall gym experience. While the facilities are good, it's the staff that truly makes this gym a top choice.

Joining Better online was easy and straightforward with the different membership packages clearly outlined. I downloaded the Better app which has enabled me to book classes with ease. The gym has provided a friendly and welcoming environment and the classes I have attended have been enjoyable with professional instructors who offer a range of alternatives in their instruction to enable everyone to work to their level.

Staff are very helpful

Staff are very helpful. Be Better if the vending machines had healthy food and drinks in them and exercise related food and drinks. No biometric scales at the gym either which is disappointing.
