Fantastic experience: I joined Ironside Gym recently, based on reading previous reviews and a visit. The gym is well equipped and everyone I have met is friendly. I had the induction and starter programme with Dominic. Dominic was very thorough and explained everything really well. I feel confident in my programme and know I can ask anything if I am not sure.
Thank you Sam for the review. We are glad you love our local gym and it was our pleasure to help you out with setting up a plan.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Ironside Gym for about a month. I always get a warm welcome from Dom, the owner and the gym is also always clean and tidy, which reflects the pride and care from Dom and the other users of the gym. It is never overcrowded which means I can always get on the machines or free weights as required.
Thanks Daniel for the kind words. We are glad Ironside is somewhere you love to train and that you love how the gym environment is.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for a few months now, it has a great atmosphere, all the staff are helpful, inviting and willing to offer advice when asked. I really enjoy going to the gym I use it at least 4 times a week and never have issues waiting to use weights, machines etc. 10/10 from me.
Thanks Nick, we're glad you love it here and it's been good to see you progress in your journey.
Fantastic experience: What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said! A fantastic place to Workout and leave any troubles you have at the door, because when you get in there you are greeted with a warm welcome in a friendly atmosphere with Staff on hand who are so very knowledgeable and always happy to help and advise. The range and variation of equipment would be beneficial to anyone from Beginner to Experienced. Wait times on equipment are practically non existent, which I have never experienced at any other Gym. This place has done wonders for my Mental Health and I can't say thanks enough to particularly Dom but also his incredible Team, and also the Members as we all keep each going with encouragement and banter. If you haven't visited and had a look around.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!
Hey Nigel, thanks for the review. We love having you at the gym and it's been great to see your progress so far!
Fantastic experience: I've been using Ironside Gym now for just over six months and it's a great place to work out! Being new to a gym, the atmosphere was very warm and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Bodyfit health and wellbeing is a fantastic facility. They offer every you could need to exercise in a safe and motivating environment. They have everything you that would need in a gym and if there are any questions, they have plenty of different specialised staff to help you find exactly what is right for you. If I was still a local, there is no doubt that this would be the place I would go to train and get any professional help that was needed!
