Written by the company

We're not like other gyms... We won’t tie you into a contract or charge you a fortune every month. That’s because we believe that fitness should be accessible to everybody, regardless of shape, size, fitness level, background or attitude. We’re for everyone who’s had enough of the unbelievably-expensive-monthly-contract gym, or the make-me-feel-judged-the-moment-I-walk-through-the-door gym. Affordable, high-spec, nationwide gyms, that make absolutely everybody feel welcome. Whatever your starting point, and wherever you want to go, we can help.

Title Terrible Customer Service & Unfair

Title: Terrible Customer Service & Unfair Refund Policy! Avoid This Place!
"I am extremely disappointed with the customer service and the cancellation process at this establishment. I requested a membership cancellation due to medical reasons and provided all the necessary documentation.
However, they are using weak and unacceptable excuses to avoid refunding my money. They claimed my name didn't match perfectly, completely ignoring that my registered email, phone number, date of birth, and membership ID are all identical to the documentation provided. Furthermore, the payment was made directly from my personal bank account, which I offered to prove with a bank statement, but they still refuse to cooperate.
This is a clear attempt to delay and hold onto customers' money unfairly. The staff is unhelpful, and the procedures are designed to complicate refunds rather than help members. I would strongly advise everyone to think twice before joining this place. Their professionalism disappears the moment you ask for a refund!

Nice clean, quieter than suggested gym-but not for me. it’s all a bit cramped, no private facility in the changing room except for the shower or the toilet to get changed. went once won’t be returning

An exceptionally friendly and clean…

An exceptionally friendly and clean gymn with a good choice of classes at various times of the day. The equipment is looked after and kept in very good condition. Instructors are keen to support, encourage and push that little bit if needed but also make the classes fun.
Matt and Luke run a great gymn alongside all the other staff.
