• "Staff is very polite. Instructor Oskar gave me good tips on improving my technique in some exercises."

Cons:

• "I got accused by a member of staff by the name of Pauline Richards for being a Personal Trainer... End result - had to leave gym out of embarrassment, quit membership and no punishment for Pauline."
• "Sadly the showers and changing completely stink. I think cleaning staff need to up their game. You come out smelling more than when you go in!"
• "Spent about 15 minutes at reception waiting for a member of staff to organise my membership, was told he was just finishing a class :S"
• "Before I had received any confirmation of my membership I was sent a letter claiming I owed £70 (should have been £29) from DFC, who handle AF's direct debits, after 1 months membership which wasn't a great first impression."
• "Advertised as a women’s only section of the gym but is ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Male personal trainers are routinely using this area with clients."

Facilities and Equipment

Pros:

• "Never busy. Good functional area a great bonus."
• "Top of the class equipment, enough space for everyone to do what they want to do even at peak times."
• "The gym provides me with al the equipment I need for my training."
• "Great gym, plenty of space to work out, plenty of equipment."
• "The ladies only section is the largest I've seen and has a wide selection of equipment."
• "The gym has a lot of equipment. Great overall."
• "There is a wide range of machines, classes and different areas for different classes etc."

Cons:

• "Some of the machines are always out of commission or broken."
• "When the gym is very busy it can hard to get on the equipment you want during the course of a session."
• "The temperature in the gym can get a bit too hot as well, even early in the mornings as there are no fans or AC which can affect your workouts."
• "Only slight downside is the cardio area is quite large and could be used for more Machines."
• "Over the past 2-3 years of being a member, there have been a few regular bits of kit in the weights area that tend to go out of service."
• "The reason an additional star is being removed is because of the poorly managed cancellation policy."
• "A bit more expensive with a lot lower standard equipment and is not 24/7."

Atmosphere and Cleanliness

Pros:

• "The overall vibe is great."
• "This is a great gym with such a lovely atmosphere."
• "When you walk in it feels like you’re a part of a big friendship group and everyone is welcome."
• "Fitness classes are also very welcoming to attend, with a positive and motivating environment within the class to help meet your individual fitness goals."
• "Most gyms have such deafening music on which I find unbearable and a great hindrance to self progress.. but here its low volume and much more comfortable."
• "The equipment and facilities are kept very clean and tidy, and always a good atmosphere."
• "It is spotlessly clean which I admire a lot so thank you to every one for making this an enjoyable experience."

Cons:

• "Cardio room very big with plenty off equipment just stinks in there to be honest."

Value and Accessibility

Pros:

• "The location is perfect for me too, as its spacious, with parking as well."
• "They have a separate Functional Training room which is really good for classes and HIIT Sessions."
• "Gym membership prices are pretty damn good considering the latter, would definitely recommend."

• "Competitively priced and conveniently located."
• "Location has plenty of parking."
• "Good value for money, especially if you join as a pair."

Cons:

• "When is a month not a month? When you need to CANCEL your monthly 'Hero membership' with Absolutely fitness! I gave notice to terminate on the 12th September but apparently I have to pay until the 31st October because their system won't pro rata my payment."
