Hear From Our Gym Goers

Ready to find a gym near you? Hear how our members and gym goers make the most of their local facilities.

Pete first came to the centre through the GP referral scheme back in September 2019, and he hasn’t left since! We asked Pete what has kept him coming back to us even after completing his time on the referral scheme:

"It was doing me good health wise, doing me good wellbeing wise, and the people here are lovely. The staff, the customers, it's like a little community. It’s marvellous. I spend as much time here as I do at my own house!"

Pete finished by saying the very thing we try to create for our customers: "It’s more than just a gym – it's a community". We are so delighted Pete and so many others have a place that they can come to socialise whilst staying active.
