Hi Tracey,
Thank you for the glowing review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We take huge pride in looking after our wonderful members and we are so happy that we met the mark! We love our jobs but kind folks like you make coming to work even more of a joy.
Thanks again!
Decent enough gym
Decent enough gym, staff seem friendly. Only downfall is that due to the size of the gym it can seem like it is busy and everyone is on top of one another....
Cannot believe some comments on here are negative about the music, first gym I've joined (And i have been to a few) that actually play decent motivational dance music so if my head phones run out of battery i'm not trying to rush through my workout.

Hi Hannah
Many thanks for your positive review!
Limited friendliness from staff if your…
Limited friendliness from staff if your not in clique - non from the PT's. Changing room not fit for purpose - too small and dirty. Repairs appear to take a long time. Inefficient entry system. Finger print recognition normally going red then having to explain to a member of staff (if they're around!) Unsafe access and egress from changing rooms due to equipment being used in the immediate location (PT sessions as well as individuals) Lack of space for cool down and or stretches. Equipment dirty. Staff not enforcing individuals to wipe down equipment after use!
Good points, free parking if you get there early. Ideal location for myself. Reasonable price that remains at the joining time. The new earlier opening time is better, however 24 hour opening would be better.

Great place to be
Great place to be. Friendliest gym in Colchester. Lovely staff and clientele. Clean, well equipped. Spin classes are great.
New early start of 6am is better for those wanting to get in before work.
Would highly recommend.

Good, but could be great
Friendly staff who know their stuff. Good membership rates, good selection of equipment, and a good range of classes if you want them.
Why only average then? Maintenance and cleanliness. Some of the equipment is worn, and has been for while - missing handgrips, a loose fitting or two, maintenance issues & 'reserved' lockers in the changing rooms and CV equipment that really needs a deep clean in places make me just a little uneasy.

Ive never been to a gym before so when I signed up to a tough mudder I knew I had too! I’ve been a member at energie fitness since 2017. All staff are very welcoming always smiling and happy to help. I attend many of the classes and all the instructors are very enthusiastic (Sam, Chrissy, Kate and Marion) if you’re new to a class you are made to feel at ease. They make every effort to contact you if classes are cancelled.
Never thought I would say it but I actually enjoy going to the gym and that’s really down to friendly atmosphere you receive as you walk through the door 😁

Hi L CP
Many thanks for the positive review.
We'll pass your feedback about difficulty of booking classes onto the Colchester team.
All the best
10 out of 10 for the gym and staff
An extremely friendly atmosphere, by all staff and members. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff to help and assist with general support technical advice or general form technique. I have recently purchased the help of a personal trainer who has improved many aspects of my training that had hit a wall. I have tried many gyms previously but would recommend this gym to all family and friends. So much so I have taken 4 family members in to join and several friends. 10 out of 10 for the gym and staff.
