Fantastic experience: Sick gym - not too busy and great equipment!!

Fantastic experience: As a woman in my late fifties, I was very nervous about going to the gym for the first time in 20 years … but I have been overwhelmed by the friendliness of the staff and the members of the gym I feel really comfortable coming here. Also I’d like a special shout out for my trainer Donna who’s really helped me on my journey.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 - great gym, great atmosphere and staff are always helpful. Equipment is top quality 100% best gym in the area

Negative experience: I have recently joined and I'm afraid will be leaving after 1 month. There are good things about this gym - the clientele seem like nice folk which can't be said for some of the budget gyms. It's one of the few gyms near the science park which is good. The selection of weights and machines is good if you're into weightlifting. But here are the downsides; 1. Its in a tired industrial unit. There is zero natural light and it's cold in the winter, probably hot in the summer too 2. There's not much space and it's very busy most of the time 3. The toilets and changing rooms are grim to be honest 4. Finally value for money. This gym is well over 2x the price of some of the big box gyms - I get that it's a different place in the market entirely, but the value proposition is just flat out worse. There's pretty much nothing that RP offer that much cheaper gyms don't. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather support a local business than a massive one, but having joined a month ago and already receiving news that my membership is about to go up significantly by £5/mo. At this price they're in the same league as much MUCH fancier gyms, and this gym certainly isn't fancy. After the price increase they will be fully £27/mo more expensive than puregym. One of the reasons I joined was all of the gushing google reviews about how great it is, but I just can't see it myself. Perhaps the reviews are curated in some way, or perhaps there's some benefit I don't know about. Regardless, I hope they can remain open but I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Positive experience: I've been going to this gym for 1.5 years, approximately 2 to 3 times a week so I wanted to share my disappointment that led me to move to another gym. Let me start with the good points: Very good staff, overall very friendly members and good ambiance. Équipement is good and complete, very decent coffee machine available too. Bad points: Changing rooms, showers and bathrooms are really dirty and poorly maintained (see pictures attached). Rusty handles and locks, showers completely dirty and floors always messy and wet. It hasn't been maintained properly since I've been there and it's not up to standards for a gym membership at 40£/month. Many other gyms offer the exact same service with a much better maintenance for about 25 to 30£/month. Also the gym gets really cold in winter. Very disappointing experience in that sense and opinion shared by some of my gym partners. It's a shame that I have to go from a nice independent gym to a commercial one just to get basic service and maintenance. I would have carried one paying 40£/month if it was up to standards, but it is definitely not the case.

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym - always clean and neat and well equipped with new equipment coming in once in a while to keep things fresh!

Fantastic experience: Good gym in a convenient location for lunch break workouts. Rarely too busy, so always got equipment available. Also nice that there is assault bike/ski erg and functional equipment

Fantastic experience: Great gym, the equipment is amazing and is much better than your average commercial gym. The price is very reasonable for what you get in return being a high quality, not overly busy gym

Negative experience: The gym overall is ok. But their policies are the most revolting stuff I ever had to go through. I forgot my ID card at my house and the reception desk would not let me in at all. They have my info and a picture of me in their system. All the people there know me. This was a one time thing. They wanted me to fill a form and pay 5£ to get in without a card. I felt so disrespected.

Fantastic experience: Exactly what you'd want in a gym. Clean, functioning equipment, friendly staff, rotation of machines to provide the best work outs and open 24 hours a day every day. Best in Cambridge by far.

Fantastic experience: I immediately liked the environment and the raw feeling of the gym. Proper equipment to complete your workout with a really nice variety. During the peak times you will still get to complete your workout in a nice time. Has everything you would need

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and amazing staff - all the equipment you need and more - would highly recommend to anyone whether experienced or new to the gym

Fantastic experience: I've found the perfect spot for my fitness journey! This gym offers convenient access, and the staff is incredibly supportive. The welcoming atmosphere makes every workout enjoyable. Highly recommend! #FitnessGoals #GreatGymExperience

Fantastic experience: Have just rejoined RP and I am loving it all over again. I love how approachable everyone is.

Fantastic experience: I've been really enjoying coming to the gym ad there's always a good selection of equipment to use and it's never too busy.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the equipment you ever need! Love the workout zone, which I think is must have in the modern gym

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for over 2 years now. Honestly, the best gym I have been a member of. The staff are friendly, other members are as well. The gym is always clean and the equipment is tidy and kept where it is supposed to. Have encouraged and referred many friends who feel the same way. It’s also open 24/7 which is another bonus!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, never seems overly busy when I've been so far in both the morning and the evening, can always use the equipment I want to use. Free coffee too. Perfect :)

Fantastic experience: Great little gym, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. The fact it’s 24hr is a massive plus aswell, no complaints really.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the tools necessary to have a proper workout. It's small but well organised, with a relax area at the end of your session where you can get free coffee. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff and no pressure. Highly recommend to those starting out or getting back into training after a prolonged break.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym, good environment, plenty of machines to work out, and be open 24 hours it's a really a bonus

Fantastic experience: Gym been awesome to me. Fantastic gym, best facilities, outstanding friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: When I joined RP Gym in Cambridge, I instantly knew I had found the perfect fitness haven. This gym stands out from the rest with its friendly environment and top-notch equipment. The staff and fellow gym-goers at RP Gym are incredibly respectful and kind, fostering a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. It's a community that truly cares about your fitness journey. What sets RP Gym apart is its exceptional focus on weightlifting. The facilities are meticulously maintained, offering state-of-the-art equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, and specialized machines. As a weightlifter, I couldn't ask for a better place to train. I must also mention the fantastic clamps they use to secure weights on the barbells—they are not only easy to use but also provide excellent stability. If you're searching for the best gym in Cambridge, look no further than RP Gym. Joining this fantastic fitness community will exceed your expectations. Don't hesitate to become part of this incredible experience.

Fantastic experience: One of the best maintained gyms in Cambridge. Well maintained areas for cardio and mat exercises. Staff are very helpful and polite . Free coffee, free lockers and 24×7 accessibility. I highly recommend joining RP fitness :)

Fantastic experience: I am very impressed with rp fitness. They seem to have every bit of kit i can think of but are still getting more. The staff are friendly and helpful especially Hayden.

Fantastic experience: Great gym I joined as it was very close to home,great equipment great staff great atmosphere, highly reccomend it.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that has all the equipments, which is accessible to you at a time that suits you (open 24 hours) and most importantly a well maintained and customer focused, RP Fitness is the best one according to me in Cambridge.

Fantastic experience: Favourite Gym in Cambridge. Lots of squat racks and lifting platforms so never really have to wait, and the staff are very friendly. Open 24 hours which is extremely convenient. Only thing that would make it better is if they got another cable machine or smith machine.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, has all equipment and provides great free coffee to get me going :)

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym by far. Great equipment and it has a separate room for warm up/cool down or even training if you are too shy to train in the main bit. I really like the whole set up :)

Fantastic experience: Recently joined! Made to feel welcome, great facilities and good value having bought the yearly membership. Top work!

Positive experience: There are only two public gyms in Cambridge (i.e. gyms not limited to personal training/classes) which are properly set up for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and general barbell strength training programmes. RP Fitness is one and the Strength & Conditioning room at the University Sports Centre is the other. Having trained at both over the years, and currently at RP Fitness because the location is more convenient for me, I can say that on the face of it there isn't much to choose between them. Both are excellently equipped (RP Fitness has Texas Power Bars, Olympic bars and platforms, black iron plates, bumper plates, power racks). For me however, RP Fitness takes the prize because it is independently run, and Richard the owner clearly has a passion for his gym. You will often see him walking around and he's always open to a chat or to hearing feedback from members. He and his team are generally highly responsive to what members want. On multiple occasions my wife and I have asked Richard or his team to change or add equipment (such as new collars or lightweight barbells) and they have done so without hesitation. RP Fitness is also open (although not staffed) 24/7, which the University Sports Centre is not. However, although I think this is the best gym in Cambridge, I can't give it five stars for the main reason that I think the team have not responded to its increasing popularity. The gym is now very busy at peak times and if you are looking for power racks, flat benches, and platforms in particular you will often have to wait for them (if you have the flexibility to go during office hours or on weekends, there's never an issue). It is these pieces of equipment which are attracting a lot of the clientele in the first place (there's a friendly gang of regular powerlifters, for example) because other gyms lack them. While its great to have this equipment at all, there should be more of it since it is this gym's USP as far as the local area goes and generally the highest-demand equipment at any given time. There is evidently space for at least another rack, platform, and bench which is currently taken up by some low-demand, space-hungry equipment (e.g. there's both a leg press and a hack squat machine, which together seem rather excessive). Richard has said that he is hesitant to add more barbell equipment because he would rather that members share the equipment which is already there. This is a nice thought in principle, but in reality most people are going to wait rather than ask a powerlifter to strip 180kg off the barbell between sets so they can share the rack for squats. Ultimately, you're not going to find better in Cambridge and so I have no qualms recommending this gym.

Fantastic experience: Good independent gym, always clean and in order. Friendly workout environment at all times.

Fantastic experience: nice spacious gym in an easily accessible part of Chesterton which is great for locals. Friendly and approachable staff

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for almost half a year and can say that this is a fantastic gym - two floors with lots of equipment for those weighlifting sessions, a large room for mat exercising, stretching, cardio machines. All equipment is well maintained and functional. Staff and members are friendly and the general atmosphere is awesome.

Fantastic experience: RP Fitness is an excellent fitness centre that offers a wide range of equipment and services to help individuals achieve their fitness goals. The gym is located in a convenient location and has a big car parking. The gym has a large selection of cardio and strength training equipment, including treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, free weights, and weight machines. The equipment is well-maintained ensuring that members have a comfortable and effective workout experience. Overall, I highly recommend this gym for anyone who is looking for a top notch fitness centre.

Fantastic experience: My first impressions were very good . Signed up on line easily . Collected tag from a friendly staff member and looked around and my first getting to grips is later today . I’m excited to see how far this takes me and a free water bottle as well from writing this review . Seeing Facebook post is inspiring too. Well done for making me feel welcome .

Fantastic experience: joined a couple of weeks ago and really enjoying it, great equipment, facilities and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Really good gym , well looked after, great equipment, would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: One of the best maintained gyms in Cambridge. Most reachable gym for people working in Business park and science park. Well maintained areas for cardio and mat exercises. Free coffee, free lockers and 24×7 accessibility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Lots of equipment , staff a really helpful and everyone is very friendly!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Cambridge. At least I can only assume so. Have been going here for years and was so happy that there was no need to try out any other. Very friendly environment , equipment top notch and focused on lifting weights.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a workout. Gym equipment is kept in very good condition. Staff members are super friendly. I can definitely recommend it to everybody.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cambridge by far, equipment always kept clean and tidy. Along with a great atmosphere, I wouldn’t go to any other gym in the area

Negative experience: First of all, kind staff and a lot of good equipment - 4 squat racks 3 bench presses loads of machines etc. However, it is a very mediocre gym considering the price. Although it has a lot of good equipment, as mentioned, it only has one smith machine, small number of cables, one lat pull down machine. There is way too many members for the equipment on offer meaning that if you go in peak hours it can be very difficult to workout The changing room facilities are dirty and not cleaned well with the showers always being too hot and disgusting on the floor. They have done a recent “changing room makeover” which was just painting the doors and extending the bench. Have attached a photo of the men’s toilets below, just not good enough for £45 a month. There is still not enough lockers in peak times and the cleanliness of the changing rooms is still terrible. Also, the changing room advertised on the website is nothing like the men’s. Within the gym there is one water machine that is downstairs out the way from everything, not awful but considering cardio machines are all upstairs - not ideal. Also poor ventilation, the building has no windows and is freezing in winter and boiling in summer with their air con doing next to nothing. Considering they have now increased the price to £45 a month which I would consider a premium price but still offer subpar facilities at best it isn’t worth your custom. Also worth noting that they do not have wifi.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym for a year and it's an excellent place to train. Very good equipment and variety: from cardio machines, to weightlifting platforms and lots of weights. It's open 24h and it has free coffee. 100% recommended!

Fantastic experience: If you take lifting seriously definitely the best gym in Cambridge. Got all the equipment you need, nice vibes, doesn't get over crowded at peak times and staff + PTs couldn't be nicer. Would give 6 stars if possible

Positive experience: I have to edit my review from 5/5. It's honestly a good gym. Price wise it cannot compete large gyms and has to be more expensive to survive. However, I find a bit too much to increase the prices that much. From 300 pounds per year to 250 per 6 months paying with BTC is a huge increase. I would understand that, but first you need to increase the quality of services to justify that. Having cleaner and newer changing rooms, toilets and more lockers would be one to start with. I was a customer and I started again to be one because I want to support local businesses, but please give us some motivation to continue doing that. p.s. my review will be back a 5/5 if I notice improvements.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym! Very nice staff and helpful also love the machines and I like that there’s a lot to use!

Fantastic experience: Very creative with equipment in the gym, and i like how almost everything is in correct shape and top quality! very nice old school gym!!

Fantastic experience: The fact that it's open 24/7 is great, close to a co-op so you can pop in grab a snack before. It's got every piece of equipment you could need, and some veeeery comfortable non-standard handles for the cable machines when working out your back. Staff are friendly and helpful and the owners are open to feedback. They recently added stretching sticks and extra gymnastic equipment after it being brought up.

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Cambridge bar none. Fantastic well-stocked, independent gym with a great community and upbeat vibe. I've been going for around 5 years, and it has honestly transformed my health and fitness. If you're considering joining, definitely go for it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym, by far the best I've been to this side of the country. Huge variety of equipment and top of the range facilities, would highly recommend the gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: RP fitness I the best gym I’ve ever been too. It has a large downstairs up space. Multiple squat racks, bench stations and deadlift squares. It is very clean and has a very positive community of fitness enthusiasts, who in my experience are nice people who want to help you progress. The best part about this gym is the kit! It has Cybex, primal strength and other top gym brands, so the machines and weight target your muscles in the most effective ways. Come to this gym for a top experience!

Fantastic experience: For me this is the best gym in Cambridge. I do mostly strength and conditioning training and the equipment for this is excellent and probably the best in the area. There is a culture among members of respect for each other and the equipment. Most people are polite and friendly and you’ll never find weights left on a rack or the floor! Staff is also friendly and helpful. Only slight downside is because of the size it can get a bit cramped at peak hours (I avoid this by coming in the mornings before work).

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for a few weeks now and have been really pleased with RP fitness. They've really invested into their equipment with loads of benches, squat racks, bikes, treadmills, and pinned weight machines. Even at their most busy times I've always been able to comfortably get my sets done, also thanks to the good folk there who don't tend to hog equipment for longer than necessary. As a complete beginner I've felt welcome and finally have a gym I can call my home gym. Finally a gym with a stairmaster for hiking practice. Also should add for a beginner they do have a good range of weights and each pinned weight machine has instructions on the machine itself, awesome. They even have a protein shake machine for when I invariably forget my own. Great staff who are happy to pass wisdom on about what exercises to do and also advice on how best to do them. Big ups to RP fitness, cheers

Positive experience: Nice, tidy. Cable equipment is 1-20 not actual weight. A staff members stares a lot when he is stood at the reception desk and its very uncomfortable. Way too expensive, basically unaffordable. 1 extremely rude staff member as well who could do with some discipline.

Fantastic experience: Really great gym. Friendly staff, clean, and top notch equipment.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym for those serious about training. Great kit, great staff. And chilled water a bonus!

Negative experience: Requires 30 days for informing them, if you want to leave. Rubbish place, people sitting at the benches pressing their phones. If you decide to go for dumbells, there is a 2.5kg step in-between the weights and there is only ONE pair for each. Rubbish place, spend more on a decent gym if you can.

Fantastic experience: Best independent gym in Cambridge. Brilliant facilites, equipment is well looked after. Staff are super friendly and helpful when needed. Nice selection of free weights inlcuding several squat racks, lifting platforms and benches. If this isnt your thing there are machines to assist and plenty of cardio facilities too. Theres a little studio upstairs that tends to be a bit quieter (with air con too) if you want to stretch or do some floor work. Also, FREE COFFEE!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cambridge. Fantastic atmosphere, not too busy, great range of equipment including some which is hard to track down in most commercial gyms.

Fantastic experience: Injury Clinic review. Really impressive approach from the physio. He managed to fix a recurring problem I had been facing for the last 2 years. In addition, I was shown 3 basic exercises to help recovery. I was not sold any further treatments, the plan from the first minute was to solve the problem as fast as possible. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I am a 55 year old women new to the world of weight training. I have been coming to this gym for 3 weeks and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. I have got a personal trainer from the gym and she talks you all through the equipment and makes a bespoke plan .As an overweight woman it can be really intimidating going to a gym on your own for the first time but I have found that it isn’t the case with this place. I have needed help with some of the equipment but all the staff are knowledgeable and didn’t make me feel stupid for asking. I would highly recommend it , come along and try it !!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent 24 hour gym - big mixture of cardio/resistance machines/plate loaded machines - staff member Hayden was very helpful Will definitely return when in the area! 5***** ✅

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to all gyms in and around Cambridge in the last 14 years of training and RPFitness is 100% the best gym in Cambridge! Amazing equipments and incredible atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend enough :) should’ve joined ages ago !

Fantastic experience: As a new member I find the gym very welcoming with a large variety of equipment and really good benefits.
