The Compound Gym

Fantastic experience: A great no nonsense gym where you would go to keep fit and stay fit.

Fantastic experience: Great gym really, friendly staff. I attend the classes after work and they are great, really professional and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Very nice staff!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, very friendly. They have lots of equipment which is mostly free-weights but still have the essential machines like, leg extension, hamstring curl, cables, leg press and cardio machines. My favourite part is that they have an outdoor section which gets plenty of sun in the summer (if ever that comes in Wales). All the staff are lovely too and I particularly like the classes that they offer.

Fantastic experience: Came for a drop in while on a work trip - great space with just about everything. Welcoming coaches who were happy to help me find my way and make sure I had everything (and the space) to do my programming. Great for hybrid training! (bring your own towel for the shower )

Positive experience: A gym with everything essentials!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cardiff! Excellent facility with plenty of space and great functional equipment. Staff and members are all super welcoming and friendly, and the coaching is high quality. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: This gym provides great value for money. Anyone who has attended a CrossFit gym before might know that oftentimes there is immense pressure placed on members to attend scheduled classes, and that using the gym for your own workouts during class times is discouraged - not so at The Compound!! Staff and members are extremely friendly, and respectful of individuals personal workout plans. Even when I have attended during class times, there is always space for me to use the gym equipment as needed. The quality of the equipment is generally good, and you will find what you might generally expect from an open plan gym like this - barbells, kettle bells and dumbbells - racks, benches and boxes - sleds, rowers, stationary bikes and ski ergs. The outdoor space is a nice bonus, and having the garage doors open on pleasant mornings makes exercising a bit more pleasant! Definitely recommend. The gym operates on a no contract basis, and your first open gym session is free. Worth a shot if you are looking for a gym in the Fairwater/Ely area!

Fantastic experience: Nothing but enjoyment and a great atmosphere here. No horrible powerlifters hogging equipment and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff! There's a great mix of classes from strength and conditioning to yoga, and the staff are knowledgeable and professional whilst also motivating in their delivery. There is a great social atmosphere in the gym so even as a new member I feel like I fit straight in!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with excellent equipment, friendly atmosphere and various group sessions throughout the day.

Fantastic experience: I was just visiting Cardiff as a tourist and wanted to get a few good gym sessions in. I was amazed by this gym. Super raw gym with ever piece of equipment a strongman/powerlifter/weightlifter could hope for.

Fantastic experience: Excellent light, spacious gym with lots of new machines and a large functional area. I have rated this gym so highly I am a chiropractor and I send all my clients here for rehab training under the guidance of Calvin because I trust him so much. His knowledge, adaptability and people skills mean you will feel welcome at this gym. You really should try and your first class is free!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been to. Lots of functional equipment, friendly and spacious.

Fantastic experience: No nonsense gym. Plenty of free weights. Good people

Fantastic experience: I love this Gym. I thought it was the best place to train in South Wales but having moved away from the area I now believe it is the best place to train South of the M4. A great team of PT’s a friendly and welcoming owner and a good supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym in Cardiff!

Fantastic experience: A proper gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic space with loads of equipment to allow you to design and achieve anything you like from a workout. Plus brilliant outdoor space in summer and a hot pod yoga studio.
