The PT I'm working with is one of the Quay Fitness team and so I use the gym once a week for my session with him. I was feeling pretty nervous about being in a 'proper' gym when I first visited Quay Fitness, but I really didn't need to. It has a super friendly vibe and I never feel like I don't have a right to be there. The equipment is all clean, everything seems new and not worn and it's always tidy. I'd spend more time there if I could. Definitely recommend and would choose it over any of the big chain gyms any day,

Really professional and well equipped gym. All the staff are really helpful and knowledgable and a welcome free personal training session is offered when you join to help you get started. Really friendly PTs in the gym, happy to help and in a great location on the Quay! Really fun and motivating environment and they offer coffee & protein shakes at their mini coffee counter. Even a game of pool!

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere, not too busy and the weights/machines are up to date and in great condition. There's a pool table which is cool and the music was good too. Nice gym, definitely worth a trip down.

Quay fitness was the best decision I made moving to this gym. The gym maintains a high standard of cleanliness and nice friendly team of PT's happy to help with anything. The onsite sports therapy team on hand to assist whenever needed. Joe has bought my fitness levels to another level and this has payed off when I have been refereeing around the country.

Brilliant gym with friendly and supportive staff who really knows their stuff. A refreshing change from the standard commercial gyms with an atmosphere that isn't intimidating and feels good to be part of. My PT, Dan Hall is someone who really listens to what you want to achieve, he will set up and be realistic with the best fitness/nutrition plan to suit you. He really encourages you to do your absolute best without being arrogant or pushy.
