Norton Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym, the staff and the customers are all awesome. I do a 160 mile round trip each week to come and use Nortons!! Can't wait for Norton 2.0
Fantastic experience: Great gym, such good bb kit. Legs & back are my favourite to train here. Also good for parking
Fantastic experience: Got every bit of kit needed and more. Unique and interesting machines and a great protein bar for that post workout shake
Fantastic experience: 5 stars doesn’t do the gym justice. A old school gym with every bit of equipment you could think of. Great workout guaranteed. If you are local or just passing through, worth visit
Fantastic experience: Everything any bodybuilder or powerlifter would ever need. Equipment is 10/10 and staff is very friendly and helpful. Good for drop ins too. Accommodates everyone to hardcore gym nuts or new gym goers.
Negative experience: Disappointed, supposedly “caters to powerlifting” but must be the only gym that doesn’t allow chalk - great equipment for squat and bench but despite having calibrated plates you can’t actually deadlift with them
Fantastic experience: Just joined and I echo everything that other reviewers have said. Superb equipment and atmosphere with friendly members and staff. Can't wait until they move to bigger premises around the corner and to see what other equipment they have for me to try!
Fantastic experience: Great gym great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Went here for the first time. Its a very friendly gym. I didn't feel self conscious there which I usually do. The range of equipment is brilliant. They have things I've not seen before and it's all kept to a really good standard. It knocks the socks off other gyms I've visited. I would definitely go back here. I wish there was one closer to home

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym... unlike any other i've ever seen! The kit in here is incredible, there's a positive energy to the place and great value for money! The best part about the whole Norton Gym experience is that no matter what you're there for from competitive bodybuilding, personal training, boxing, cardio, mental health or even a coffee you're treated with respect and welcomed. I'm a big guy battling weight and mental health demons and feel as accepted in Norton as anyone. There are many, many reasons people travel far and wide to use Norton Gym... iconic!

Fantastic experience: 26 years in the gym game I've had many experiences in different gyms. And this gym is there at the top.
