Fantastic experience: Great gym, the vibe is always super friendly and supportive of new and old members, staff always happy to help you out with concerns. Shout out to Lloyd who is a dedicated staff member always making sure things run smoothly and everybody is looked after (he also makes the best protein shakes). Best gym in the area, you have multiple free weight benches and machines competing with commercial gyms. If you are new or looking for a great gym I really recommend.

Fantastic experience: Last year i stopped going to the gym due to suffering from gym anxiety and I struggled to even step foot into the door to the gym inwas going to. Which I soon found was sue to its toxic enviroment. My friend recommended flex to me and althougba lottle nervous about joining, I am pleased I did, the gym environment here is welcoming and I am comfortable to come in and get on with my work out without feeling judged! The staff are friendly and approachable and so far I am really enjoying my time at this gym

Clinton Stone 1 year ago

Negative experience: Very poor overpriced gym. They put prices up and the showers never work or never cleaned. Lots of the machines are always broken and the mirrors are covered in saliva. And staff have attitude problems.

Flex Appeal

Thank you for reveiw, and sorry you feel your needs were not met. If you had voiced your concerns to a member of staff at the time or later via email, we could improve such issues. But seen as your claims are completely false, we do understand why you left it over a month since your membership ended to write such slanderous comments. Have a great day.

Emily Porter-Ward 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The friendliest most welcoming gym I have ever used

Josie Caplehorne 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: FlexAppeal is proving to be a life changing place for me. I won’t go into too many details but in my first personal training session I discovered a name existed for the chronic pain I’ve been living with for years and that multiple doctors and specialists have never diagnosed. My trainer is incredibly knowledgeable and is building a training plan with me that is already helping. I’m always asked if any of the movements or exercises are exacerbating pain and adaptations are made to help when needed. The gym is very well equipped and all the staff members I’ve met are welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. My confidence returning to the gym, after many years of absence, is starting to improve and this is all due to the environment created by everyone at Flex Appeal.

Fantastic experience: Just joined last week and had my first session staff friendly helpful and kept an eye on me. Looking forward to my next session. The gym is well fitted out with equipment for all levels.

Sam White 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Deceptive in a good way. From the outside a small gym with some cardio equipment. On the inside a TARDIS that is full of resistance machines, a designated core and stretch area and even further into Narnia a huge free weights section with lifting platforms and a bench for everyone. Not only that but the staff are the friendliest of any gym I've been to and worked in. Plus they got all your protein shakes, caffeine hits and H2O needs ready to go!

Callum Marriott 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visiting family and had been to this gym once upon a time so revisited for a couple days. Perfect gym for what I'm into. Fair to say best for weight lifting but their cardio machines are very modern too. Will be back whenever I'm next in Whitstable. Super friendly staff. The gym is going above and beyond with hygiene and cleaning.

Thank you so much Vish

Alex Leone 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff here are very friendly and give great advice. The weights are superb - you can go massive if you want to or use the machines and there is loads of cardio equipment too. There aren't egos here either, just people training hard. I've put an inch on my arms, chest and legs and lost two inches on my waist since joining here 2 months ago. No change to my diet, just good, increment training. If you live in Whitstable or Herne Bay, this is the place to train!
