"Great gym. Very modern and well equipt."
"The gym has great high quality equipment that have helped me towards achieving my goals."
"Excellent gym with very good facilities and equipment you wouldn't see in other gyms."
"Good equipment, 4 squat racks, and looooads of plates."
"The equipment here is great, it’s always clean and tidy and so worth the money."
"The gym itself is quite well designed and equipped with ample training machines and free weights."
"All the PT's have an amazing amount of knowledge whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle or cut body fat."
Cons:
"Changing rooms are also filthy."
"Music uncomfortably loud."
"I struggled with the growing insta culture and tripods every 3 feet."
"The equipment seems to be Techno Gym, which is the cheapest and probably the worst when it comes to biomechanics."
"Some of the equipment dated but does the job."
"More often than not you will find that many pieces of equipment are not working properly or are completely useless."
"It is also a very small and overcrowded basement gym with horrible lighting and music that makes it very busy and difficult to train in this environment."
Staff and Personal Trainers

"The PTs are always on hand for advice even without having a pre booked session."
"The PTs are incredible too! You’re literally working with some of the best PTs in Croydon."
"The trainer's here are simply the best I've encountered. They work you hard and get results."
Cons:
"Based on my personal experience, NOT RECOMMENDED."
"Unfortunately, my personal experience was negative and, therefore, I am sharing this in the hope that it can help prospective members think carefully before committing."
"I’m really disappointed with this gym."
"The Personal Trainers there (with a small exception) are arrogant and have an attitude problem."
"I did find him a bit too pushy and salesy."
"Their version of follow up is send constant messages, no phonecall unless you call them."
"The PT was unreliable, didn’t turn up to two of the sessions, double booked me for another and asked me to reschedule at short notice."
Community and Atmosphere

"It’s such a loving, caring and encouraging environment and I can’t wait to come back after the summer and push myself harder."
"The clientele that use the facilities really are like a 'community' and have a shared goal of 'Health & Fitness', which makes training fun."
Cons:
"Gets crowded and humid during peak times."
"It gets busy and very hot during peak times."
"I’ve been coming to this gym for quite some time now and recently it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find free space to workout."
"Unfortunately not received further correspondence when enquiring about NHS discounts compared to a few other gyms in the area."
"Over promise under deliver !!!!!"
"Regrettably, subscribing to a membership with MyPT ends up being very expensive and complicated."
"There's ongoing problems with air con - units are constantly turned off or turned down so it can get quite uncomfortable and humid."
Value and Results
Pros:
"You really do get your moneys worth for being a member here along with having access to the second site for all the classes."
"I had a great experience being a member of MYPT gym. During the 18 months I attended 'Lean' (fat burn) classes, I really improved my attitude to nutrition and fitness."
"The amount of support I have received during my first 6 weeks was incredible."
"After six weeks feel super motivated and excited to go to the gym, which I haven't had for years."
"I joined the MyPT The Gym 6 week challenge 5 weeks ago, it is fair to say it has been the best investment I’ve made all year."
"After 6 weeks I have lost 6.4kg and lost an incredible 7.1% Body Fat."
"I entered into their 6 week challenge and lost 9.1 % body fat and 5 kilos in just 6 weeks."
Cons:
"For £400 pounds over 6 weeks I felt cheated but that's just me maybe it works for the average."
"They sell you a good pitch and offer so much with their membership but they are not able stick to their promises."
"The website is a nightmare and it seems the type of company that will not show you the price beforehand."
"On the 'contact us' section there is no phone number, just an 8 questions survey where they extract information from you, rather than giving you the chance to ask a question."
"For £400 pounds over 6 weeks I felt cheated but that's just me maybe it works for the average."
"They are expensive but you get what you pay for and you will get results if you listen."
"I was happy to continue the membership with the gym but not the trainer but queried some of the direct debit payments."
