Great gym, very welcoming and friendly, and extremely well kitted out. I go in the mornings and never have to wait to use any equipment. It's owned and run by a very nice couple, one of which is a highly respected personal trainer and the other a PHD sports nutritionist. I highly recommend taking their joint PT and nutrition plan when getting started or those looking to get more out of their training.

I was anxious to start my gym journey, as im a swimmer and know nothing about weights or the gym. Lets face it, for most of us the gym can be an intimidating place. Alex and Emily are incredible! Not only are they professional, fit and strong, they are grounded, level headed and real! Along with their abundance of knowledge and expertise, they also understand that i am human, that i have cravings , that i don't want to live my life entirely in the gym, and that sometimes im bloody tired. They encourage me to get fit and healthy in a realistic way that doesn't mean i have to cut out all of my loves

One of the largest and definitely the neatest gyms I've been to. Vast array of equipment for all levels of ability. Defo recommended.

By far the best gym I have been to. The equipment is fantastic and both owners are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. They are always looking for new ways to update the gym and make the member experience as good as possible. The cost is also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend the gym to anyone-no matter what fitness level or goal.
