I would highly recommend this gym for any woman who wants to work out but doesn't know where to start. The staff here are amazing and so caring. The circuit is a good way to work out your entire body without having to figure out what exercises you need to do. They also have a time system that lets you know how long you have on a station and when to move to the next piece of equipment. Definitely worth every penny!

W Fitness is a fantastic place. I joined over 2 years ago and I am so glad I did! A great space to workout in with friendly, like-minded ladies supporting each other. Caroline & Hannah are lovely and always encouraging. I became part of the team a year ago, and love that I now work at W Fitness too :-)
