Price

Pros:

  • "Great value for money!"
  • "One of the best gyms I’ve been to. Definitely recommend for their equipments and affordable prices."
  • "Fairly priced BUT only 2 stairmasters; one never works."
  • "Well equipped gym with not over the top membership price that includes classes."
  • "Well equipped gym, open practically all day, every day, at a reasonable subscription rate."
  • "Really happy with this gym, great price for students and a great selection of machines to use."
  • "Perfect value for money."

Cons:

  • "Remains an average gym, disappointed to see they are increasing their rates."
  • "I wouldn't mind if they didn't keep putting the prices up (money clearly not being spent on maintenance or repairs)."
  • "The price was good but I didn't enjoy to be honest."
  • "It says it is cheap but its actually expensive. Their other locations are cheap but guildford one is around £23 per month for a small space which is normally crowded."
  • "Seems pointless to pay £28.99 to watch people sit there doing zero."
  • "Membership closure without any announcement to the customer plus unreasonable price just to change the date of your payment almost equals one month subscription and very rude on the phone."
  • "I have tried to cancel membership of the Gym several times on line and they are still taking my money. Do not subscribe because you will be stuck with them."

  • "The gym has a great variety of equipment, very clean."
  • "The gym is always kept clean and tidy by the amazing trainers (special shout-out to Danny- he is an amazing coach who always listens and encourages you to push on even which you feel like you can’t)."
  • "UPDATE: They just had a huge upgrade. 3 floors now. So much more space and many more machines."
  • "The gym is lovely and clean and they have 3 floors with a wide range of equipment."

Cons:

  • "Massively over subscribed - everytime I tried to go after work EVERYTHING was being used."
  • "Good gym but freezing! For some weird reason there is no heating at the workout areas."
  • "The entire refurbishment and adding extra space made the layout of gym worse. Number of good machines reduced for weights."
  • "Showers stink of urine and the hand basins surrounds are always drenched in water."
  • "The lockers need changing as the majority are broken."
  • "No cleaning products when i used to go to keep the gym material and machines clean."
  • "The gym is a great space with lots of equipment. Plenty of free weights and cardio but the space is far far too cluttered with way too many weight machines which aren't needed."
