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
Fantastic experience: Great gym run by a fantastic, welcoming and friendly team. Definitely recommend.
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.
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.
Fantastic experience: There is always such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere at Flex, all the staff are lovely the equipment is great and there is so much more space than you think!
Always a pleasure to have you here, and we'll done on winning our in house competition

Fantastic experience: In Whistable for a week over Christmas and signed up for a week's membership and couldn't have been happier! Definetly dont judge the book by it's cover, behind the shop front is a fantastic fully eqipped no thrills gym. Great for cardio and lifting alike as well as having friendly staff and a buffet of pre and post workout nutrition!
Was great to have you here
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Every piece of equipment you could wish for. Great areas for cardio, weights machine, free weights and stretching. Friendly staff. Great value. Flawless.
Fantastic experience: The friendliest most welcoming gym I have ever used
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: Thanks Lloyd
Fantastic experience: Superb gym in Tankerton near Whistable for mens and ladies fitness with machines , classes , incredible trainers . Mens large bodybuilding area in the back of gym which is spectacular . Super friendly staff .
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Staff really friendly. Decent showers if you need to head straight to work. Good selection of post workout shakes. Plus so much bigger than you think looking from the outside.
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.
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!
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.
Fantastic experience: I have Charlie as my PT. He is fantastic. So knowledgeable and equally encouraging. As an older woman I feel very safe and welcome every time I visit.

Thank you so much Vish
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!
