Charlton Down Health & Fitness Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great range of equipment. Not too frenetic. Always some people around, but not so many that you have to wait for a piece of equipment.
Thanks for the review Ian!
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, Top Quality staff, very nicely equipped...what more could you ask for...highly recommend this incredible place.
That’s very kind, thank you for leaving us such a positive review. Nice to know our efforts are appreciated
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with even better owners who are glad to assist you with form, fitness plans etc without any hassle! Good facilities too! Crazy how many machines they have been able to put into such a small area, even rivals the variety of commercial gyms like 1610 most definitely
Fantastic experience: Just getting started. Very helpful!! Love it!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym great facilities and two very helpful owners always their to give great spot on advice along with full support in what ever you would like to accomplish.
Fantastic experience: For once I actually enjoy going to the gym! Mike & Rob have created a really friendly environment
Fantastic experience: Fun, friendly, welcoming gym! Happy to help out and give you really good advice…
Fantastic experience: very friendly atmosphere and the staff can’t do enough to help you with your diet and fitness.
Fantastic experience: I e been going to this gym for a while now and it has done a phenomenal impact on my life , going to the gym makes life so much positive , not only for the body but also for the mental health , I can’t see myself not going to this gym. Started at this gym is easy , the induction is smooth , the staff are very welcoming and they help you with how to prevent injury during workouts using the right body movements , 10/10 for this church like gym You’ll end up going “religiously “
Fantastic experience: Attended the gym for physio with Mike who was able to resolve a problem I'd had for over a week with my back. Releasing the muscles and helping me gain full flexibility and movement.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars are just not enough for this absolutely amazingly awesome health and fitness club. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I messaged Mike and Rob on the fitness page to ask to have a look around. I had a speedy informative reply and lots of flexibility. On arrival we met Mike, he was friendly, accommodating, happy, supportive, caring, knowledgeable and honest. We had different reasons for look at the gym and they varied largely. Mike was very good at talking us though each piece of equipment in the different areas and was able to answer every single question (we had a lot with regards to an injury), after our tour and talking to Mike he spoke to us honest and knowledgeable about a previous injury in the injury clinic space. We listened and learnt so very much. We came away any chatted, I instantly wanted to join this relaxed, friendly, welcoming, caring, supportive local gym and so did my partner. We then messaged Mike (who actually felt like a friend we had known for years) to get booked in for an induction. We now attend and are really pleased with the service. Overall this review is just to say how fabulous Mike and Rob are at what they do! I must add on another visit I met Rob and he was just as happy, caring, knowledgeable and supportive. They know so much and they genuinely care about you, you aren’t a number like other commercial gyms. Every time I’ve been to workout I usually see one of them or both. It’s so refreshing to know there’s such a great service in our local area, it is such a good vibe, relaxed atmosphere, non judgemental and happy place to be. I’ve been to many gyms throughout my time and none, not one have I ever received this level of care and attention. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so supportive whatever your reasons are for wanting to join. So a huge thank you to you both for being so great and awesome!!
Fantastic experience: Great little gym! The new owners have done really well to modernise the space and put on some good kit. It’s small but you can find everything you need to get in a quality workout. My mum also absolutely adores the physio here.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with great guys. Knowledgeable and helpful. They went the extra mile for my daughter and I and we're very accommodating. Would recommend 7 days a week. Perfect if you like a 5am start. Thanks to Rob and Mike.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym in an old church.Good parking and really peaceful location.
That’s for the review Simon, it all helps !
Fantastic experience: Really convenient, great atmosphere and Mike/Rob are brilliant at what they do. The lady behind the desk is so lovely and welcoming - always has a smile on her face
Fantastic experience: After training personally with Rob and team I can honestly say they are a truly knowledgable bunch. If you want to make solid progress with informed tuition delivered professionally and enthusiastically then get yourself down here!
Thank you Adam, kind words from someone who has competed professionally on stage!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, Rob and Mike both very knowledgeable, the injury clinic is unbelievable, the results are brilliant
Fantastic experience: Great gym in a unique setting! Opening times will suit all
Fantastic experience: Have had neck pain and pins and needles for months now, had a single session with Mike and both symptoms have fully resolved allowing me to start to exercise more under the guidance of him and get my quality of life back. I generally believe this is the answer to many health problems and the experience of both Mike and Rob make you feel safe and that you will achieve your goals. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had my induction with Rob it was a great induction using his vast knowledge of the anatomy of the body to implement into training. Gym has all that you need including a sauna which will soon be available in the mens and is available in the womens already. Very helpful and welcoming management through both Mike and rob!
Thank you for you review, we are very grateful
Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined last month, and we received a thorough induction on how to use the equipment, and clearly understand the ethos of the club. Mike and Rob are very welcoming and we would definitely recommend joining
Fantastic experience: Lovely, welcoming gym. Always clean and tidy. Good choice of equipment and the long opening times works very well for me. Very relaxing sauna. Very glad I joined.
Fantastic experience: A really friendly and welcoming club for all abilities in a great setting (oh - and free coffee for members, what's not to love?)
Fantastic experience: PT with Mike is insane. No two sessions are the same, he mixes it up well and I never know what I've let myself in for. Cool down with a bit of pummelling or should I say a nice stretch and massage makes the session complete.
Fantastic experience: Only been going here a few short weeks but I'm already looking like a marvel hero and making more gains than EDF's profits during this energy crisis. Lads that run the place are sound and almost as big as the church itself, so you know they know what they're going on about. Highly recommend.
Hahahaha! A truly honest review, thanks joe!You’ve put some excellent hard work and time into your training, you’ve listened and applied the information and coaching you’ve received resulting in some brilliant progress, it’s been a pleasure coaching you,Rob
Fantastic experience: Only the second gym I’ve ever joined cause of being embarrassed, joined with my daughter for support and it’s the best move I’ve ever made. Both Mike & Rob are lovely guys, helpful, knowledgeable and very welcoming. I’ve never been made to feel out of place or embarrassed and I absolutely love it. Long May their success continue ️
Fantastic experience: Joined about a month ago. Had a great induction with Mike who has tailored my program around my injuries. These guys really know their stuff! Also tried out the group PT session, the style of exercise is changed each week and adapted depending on who is attending. I know they have lots of improvements and plans for the future, so much more personable than some of the other big gyms. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Cracking gym / injury rehabilitation run by Mike and Rob. Well equipped gym to cover everyone's abilities. The knowledge and passion of Mike and Rob is incredible. Always willing to give advice and guidance. What you get for your membership cost is incredible. You won't be disappointed with the service they provide. This gym is going places and I look forward to see it expand, go and see for yourself you won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: Best gym around! Mike and Rob are very professional , I’ve had a hamstring injury since February , I used to Road run 5 times a week and had to stop, thanks to Mike , he gave me a program to follow and sports massage therapy and I feel like a different person! Highly recommend this gym for any age and ability .
Fantastic experience: I have only been a member for a couple of weeks now and think it's so great. Mike and Rob has made me feel at ease since the first time I wanted to have a look. For someone who suffers with anxiety, the gym rarely feels uncomfortable. I've been to gyms in the past and the worry of feeling out of place has 'scared' me away from them. I also love the fact you can even just pop in to use the coffee machine, and a chin-wag. Although I've not really had a chance to have the full 'customer service' they both seem to have the experience in this industry and seem very approachable. Well done guys, fully recommended!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Mike and Rob are extremely helpful. Open 7 days week what more could you want. Clean and tidy. Even get a cheeky free espresso before a workout . Definitely recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it
Positive experience: Very good gym but a bit of a flaf to get to
Fantastic experience: Good luck when reopening, great news.
Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, good range of equipment and classes, well maintained, reasonable pricing, parking available.
Positive experience: I like it
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: Clean and modern gym. PT sessions here are good. Don't have to pay through the nose for monthly membership which is good for the occasional gym goer
Thank you Mark
Fantastic experience: Good gym, there are always people there happy to help. The service at the coffee shop is great!
