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.

Heavily oversubscribed

Heavily over-subscribed. This gym used to be great to work out at but they have taken so many members now that it's nearly impossible to get on any of the free weight barbell benches and makes for a v frustrating workout.

The app does not work…

The app does not work making accessing the gym very difficult.
To be fair - once in the gym the equipment is really good.
They just need to sort out the app and customer service

Clean & Sufficient

My gym is spotlessly clean at all times. The equipment is more than sufficient. The treadmills etc don’t have the fancy high-tech screens but for £19.99 a month, I wouldn’t expect it. I don’t need a pool and the classes are fab so happy days!

Great Class With A Great Instructor

This session is a great end to the week. A combination of pilates and yoga that changes every other week. Gentle exercise with a great instructor, it doesn't get better than this.
