Fantastic experience: I have recently attended a couple of Reformer Pilates classes with Nicki, and I loved it. The studio is nice: well lit, conservatory style, the classes are 5 people max so the teacher spends time with all attendees.

Fantastic experience: Newly joined, everyone so friendly and welcoming. I thought I’d have a go at Reformer Pilates on my first month of trying a bit of everything I could. Thoroughly enjoyed my first experience, great personal instruction by Nikki and lots of encouragement. Highly recommend. Circuits today was equally good - padel next!

Fantastic experience: This is a quiet, pleasant and welcoming health club environment. It is a world apart from the 'macho' style packed gyms which I have used previously. I am using the cryotherapy service and have been supervised and looked after superbly by Kaitlan, Lily and Joy. It is a pleasure to receive such excellence in customer service and feel that I am a 'special' customer. Thank you all for making my visits an absolute pleasure.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and they always have a good selection of classes included in the membership. Just coming back from a Hyrox class done by Tina, really impressed how well it was put together and instantly felt welcomed to the group.

Fantastic experience: I love The Barns, both for padel (a lovely social atmosphere) and the classes. Shout out to Tina who has encouraged me to get back into fitness. The classes are a good tempo and very supportive.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful rural location set in the Wellington Estate, Stratfield Saye. One indoor and one outdoor padel tennis courts, newly refurbished and intimate gym, workout studio, cardio / room, sauna and cafe / bar lounge area. Friendly community feel, club nights, box leagues and inter-club matches. Attentive personable staff make you welcome. On Sunday Gemma was particularly helpful when giving the tour of the club and running through membership options for friends. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lovely to have yin yoga back!

Ruth Pennington 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym, especially if you are interested in doing small exercise classes. There is an excellent range everyday of the week all throughout the day. The best bit is you don't have to be a member you can buy a class membership package that you can use across a range of different classes. Tina is a fantastic coach, she really motivates you to get the best out of yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great venue

Stephen Cox 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I joined The Barns in June 2024, after previously being members of a different gym. The Barns is an amazing, clean space with top-tier facilities, making it easy to find the motivation to work out. Recently, we started attending a selection of The Barns' classes, encouraged to do so by the team. As an introvert, I was nervous about stepping out of my comfort zone, but the small, bespoke sessions and welcoming PTs have been truly game-changing for both my physical and mental well-being. I can't thank Tina, Sam, and the wider team enough.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym! It’s in a beautiful rural area, which makes it a great escape from the usual crowded places. The small group classes create a friendly environment where everyone gets personal attention. Tina and Jamie are amazing trainers. They know what they’re doing and really help you stay motivated. They make sure each workout is just right for you, no matter your fitness level. If you want a gym with great trainers and a lovely setting, this is the perfect spot!

Fantastic experience: Starting the New Year and finally realising that as a middle aged man I needed to start and put some effort back into my body & soul, Wellington Wellbeing has been the perfect find. I embarked on an individualised programme to suit both my lifestyle and physical state. I had several goals which an expert took me through the journey of how to achieve, this holistic approach is a game changer is making some meaningful improvements. My PT sessions have been with Jamie Pittman, his motivating style and depth of knowledge has been incredible. After struggling with several small injuries along the way his sports physio background came in useful with many stretches & yoga posses during our sessions to keep me on top form. Another bonus has been the Cryo chamber which I have used on recovery days. Giving me an extra boost for work! Have seen some brilliant results in weight loss, suppleness in my body, energy levels and mental well being. Looking forward to taking advantage of the many fitness classes as part of my maintenance programme. Highly Recommend Membership

Fantastic experience: The place itself was beautiful, the staff were lovely and very welcoming and the classes were brilliant and a lot of fun. The Wim Hoff experience was indescribable. I would definitely recommend the Wellbeing Centre, it is everything that you could want from a fitness centre and more!

India Salewski 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started using Cryotherapy at Wellington Wellness for back pain after hearing the benefits for muscle repair amongst a host of other things. Being in pain was a daily occurrence for me and something I had just got used to, other therapies only served to give me very temporary relief so I almost gave up until I was persuaded to give Cyro a go. I walked into the chamber with severe pain and after the short 3 minute session I felt nothing, so amazed I was at this I committed myself to 1 session a week and I can honestly say in the 6 months I have been using Cryo I have not had a single day with back pain. For anyone considering trying this out I could not encourage you enough and as dramatic as it sounds Cryotherapy has changed my life!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous location, great staff, studios and equipment. An all round 5-star experience. Probably one of the best, if not the best yoga studios, gym, and cardio wellness / retreat / health clubs in the area. Joining was one of my best moves. Karen

Fantastic experience: Wellington Wellbeing really is heaven on earth!!! Since becoming a member my fitness, health and lifestyle has improved so much and now I really don't know what I would do without WW! I attend 3-4 different classes a week (Yoga, HIIT, Strength, Meditation etc.) and train in the gym 3-4 times a week as well. I also am regularly using the infrared sauna and cryotherapy chamber alongside my training and classes. All facilities are incredible at WW - beautiful studios, a fully equipped gym, clean changing areas and a cosy, comfortable, restful "hub" area. Every staff members (Wellbeing / Fitness Experts, FOH staff and cover instructors) are so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and really are the best in their fields! They all are such a credit to Wellington as a whole. I really cannot recommend Wellington Wellbeing enough!!! You would be silly not to sign up to a membership here. 5 stars all round!!!

Fantastic experience: Set in beautiful surroundings this is not just a 'gym' but a holistic take on overall well-being. Great facilities, friendly and educated staff.

Claire Mackinnon 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Wellington Wellbeing more highly. The environment is beautiful - it makes going to the gym and classes a pleasure (that is new for me!). The classes are small, so you get individual attention and feedback, and there is a brilliant choice of sessions on offer from different types of yoga, to high intensity HIIT classes and everything in between. The gym is brilliantly kitted out. The team are all lovely - all expert at what they do - fun, approachable and supportive, whatever your goals or reasons are for being there.

mariana lulova 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love meditation but not a big fan of yoga hence I approached the day cautiously not really knowing what to expect. The advert for the replenish retreat promised a lot and in reality the team delivered even more. The classes were tailored in a way that the whole group (irrespective of the experience) enjoyed. We were also an ideal size group allowing discussions and sharing experiences after each session. The food was amazing and the coaches very calm, professional and extremely caring. I would gladly do that monthly or quarterly if offered. Thank you so much for the incredible treat!

Amanda Penny 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently joined and couldn’t be happier. Surroundings, studios and equipment all really great. The fitness team are dedicated and very experienced, as well as very personable and approachable. They all take their time to get to know you and your fitness and wellbeing goals. Overall a very positive experience and the introductory offer has been the perfect start for me to get re-motivated!

Julia Sokele 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A wellness haven! I love attending all the classes and really enjoyed the Wellness Festival - Wim Hof method was my favourite part! I feel valued and at ease, the team is supportive and attentive while always inspiring me to achieve my goals. The space is super cool and aesthetically pleasing too.

Thomas Foster 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Wellington Wellbeing for my first Cryotherapy session and it won’t be my last. I am hooked! As well as playing Rugby and being a frequent gym-goer, I have been suffering the effects of “long Covid”. My Doctor recommended the use of cold therapy as part of my recovery, which prompted the appointment. The friendly and professional team are exceptional in making you feel looked after and relaxed. The facilities are truly 5*, it is a hidden gem. The following day my energy levels were restored, my mood finally uplifted and I achieved a PB on my 10K morning run. Needless to say I will definitely be back! If you haven’t tried it, you are missing out.

Fatimah Imran 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place, I’ve been a member for just over a year now and it’s the first time I’ve actually worked out regularly and that’s largely because of how wonderful and serene Wellington Wellbeing is. The classes are well thought out and never boring with a great mixture of fitness and wellbeing, the trainers are knowledgeable and supportive and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t recommend Wellington Wellbeing enough ☺️
