Fantastic experience: Really friendly and helpful gym staff. We (my husband and I) had off peak hours membership and went between 6am to 830am, and sometimes Sundays and it was mostly quiet. If you are able to go off peak hours then sometimes it feels like it's your personal gym. It has a variety and ample of equipment and we saw age groups from teens to pensioners. The people that come to the gym are also very friendly, it felt like a community after a while.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Gymbos for 3+ years, and the experience has genuinely transformed my physical and mental health. Before joining, I didn't regularly go to a gym, but thanks to the supportive environment and the accountability of semi-personal training sessions, I now feel confident and comfortable coming in and training on my own. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly and have supported me in training through fluctuating health challenges. I've consistently felt stronger and seen continual progress. I highly recommend Gymbos for anyone seeking a supportive gym community!

Fantastic experience: I was going to this gym for 6 years and enjoyed every minute especially, the relationship I had with Dan he worked me hard but we did have laugh at the same time. So thank you very much it is only through an injury that I have had to stop. Cheers dan will keep in touch .

Priya Varma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my time here at Gymbos and I would definitely recommend the semi pt/ 6 week transformation program as the trainers are very friendly, non judgemental and very approachable. They know a lot about how to tailor the exercises to your needs while not making it too tedious!! Definitely recommend

Melissa Stacy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Gymbos is such a lovely gym, especially if you're new/not feeling confident and are worried about the general gym environment. Dan and Chris in particular have always been really happy to help with any questions. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym, plenty of classes! Helpfully staff! I don't train here, I maintain there equipment

Beth Cann 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Gymbos for over a year now mostly on a semi pt membership, but recently completed their 6 week body transformation challenge. I highly recommend Gymbos to anyone looking for a well equipped gym with experienced friendly and knowledgeable personal trainers. The 6 week challenge does exactly as promised, in just 6 weeks I lost 7.3kg of body fat (16pounds), but still managed to increase muscle mass, making my total weight loss 13lbs. I also lost 2 dress sizes giving me noticeable inch loss all over. I got fitter, slimmer, more toned and stronger (reaching over 100kg on hip thrusts), the programme also provided lots of helpful information and advice to be able to carry on with my weight loss journey after the 6 weeks so that I don't put all the weight back on and continue to get healthier and stronger. The trainers are also the best of the best and I couldn't fault them 1 bit.

Positive experience: Good gym, duty manager is very helpful but they lack some equipment. There should be more weight plates, a deadlift bar, reverse hyper machine and an assault bike.

Sean Kiernan 3 years ago

Positive experience: Great gym. However, they run classes at peak times (6pm to 8pm) where the PTs running them have a habit of monopolising a lot of the equipment for the class.

Guy Buncombe 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I did go to Gymbo's a few days ago, and I'm sure it's a wonderful place. It certainly looked like a wonderful place. But the reason I was there was to visit The Most Excellent Lisa Johnson, Podiatrist, who has a little studio inside the building. So sadly, in terms of this review, nothing to do with the gym whatsoever. But if you're looking for foot care, you won't find better than Lisa!

Fantastic experience: Customer service review - FANTASTIC Earlier today my sister was stung by a wasp just outside Gymbos, I asked them for help and the staff gladly got me a cup of water and said if we needed anything else just come back. So pleased really helped calm her down, Thank you very much would recommend from a customer service point of view.

Paul Crow 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I only recently joined this gym and have to say I wised I discovered it sooner. For years I've been going to large gyms which are badly run. The experience here is welcoming, clean, and a team of professional trainers to help you if you need it, or just use the gym and train your way either way they make you welcome. Equipment is of a high standard also and everyone seems to treat it with respect. Its nice to have this gym local, just looking forward to returning to this great gym!

Daniel G 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cracking place, I highly recommend it. Really personal, friendly 'feel' of a little gym, but with all the equipment and expert staff advice of a big gym. Never had to wait for any equipment, never too busy, perfect for a covid safe work-out. Oh yeh and there's a huge garage like door that opens up, so it's lovely and ventilated in the summer. The comms over the last year have been brilliant and have always left members knowing exactly what's going on.

Nat Benson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined Gymbos a month or so before lockdown in 2020 and attended the small group classes. The variety and pace of the classes are excellent. Since lockdown we have done the online classes. We’ve done classes we would never have considered attending in person and have enjoyed both the content and the trainers interactions. We have also managed to maintain our weight ( my husband has lost weight during lockdown) and fitness and this is largely due to the excellent sessions. We are however very much looking forward to returning in May to see everyone in person again.

E. Hovsepyan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really happy with the gym. joined before lockdown and looking forward going again as soon as it opens,. the place is clean, with plenty of space. staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Plenty of parking spaces available.

Michael Pedder 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym with really knowledgeable, helpful trainers. Main specialties are classes and HIIT style exercises which are accessible for all ages and abilities. Good range of machines and free weights too.

Alex Sutherland 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Gymbo's. It isn't part of a chain with contracts that hook you in. Nor is it run by people accessible only through a call centre. It's instead owned and run by friendly and local people to whom you can speak, and who are more interested in your physical development and wellbeing than in your money. They take COVID very seriously and have created a genuinely safe environment that other members respect. The equipment is modern, clean and - above all – accessible, so you can do a circuit without having to wait whilst others linger. There's a range of group activities for those who want them, and plenty of space for those who prefer to do their own thing. The gym is supervised by a real professional trainer who’ll also give advice, not by a cleaner or a camera. Parking is easy and free. Fees are reasonable, with no annual contract. Take a look.

Catherine Jones 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been members here since it opened. We love it and have both made great progress with our fitness.The gym is really clean and well equipped and the staff team are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend their semi PT membership which gives you a lot of the benefits of a personal trainer for a much cheaper price and is really flexible too. I can also say that they care a lot about their members and have been committed to giving a good service even in this lockdown. If you are serious about improving your health and fitness these are the people to help you.

Mark Johnson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it has a great mix of equipment and choice of small group classes, plenty of space to workout, attentive and thoughtful staff and friendly gym members. Gyms don't normally work for me as I get bored easily. But Gymbo's is a lot of fun and I have definitely noticed the improvements in my body in terms of mobility and strength.

Fantastic experience: Lovely place, lovely gym trainers. Never had any issue. If you need any help with exercise or with your body you can always feel free to ask the trainers and they would always help with a nice smile :) Due to lockdown haven't been able to go and I really miss it! Can't wait until they are back open permanently!!

Mina Nazemi 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Spacious, well equipped whether you prefer free weights or cardio. Several cable machines, open space for stretching and mobility. It's a really bright open space that feels good to workout in. Friendly, helpful staff. Also like to be supporting an independently owned business.

Nono 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, with lots of space, a large variety of equipment, whether you are more inclined towards pumping weight, using machines, or functional training. There are many lessons on offer, but you can also just come and do your thing. There is always someone to answer questions or give advice.

Charlie Whitaker 4 years ago

Jen Rouse 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Gymbo's 6 weeks ago to help with my fitness goals and wellbeing. It's one of the best decisions I ever made to join! It has an amazing atmosphere and everyone is really friendly. I have thoroughly enjoyed the semi PT sessions! Even though there may be one or two others in the session it feels very much like a personal training session. I have mainly worked with Dan and he has been fantastic. He is very encouraging, supportive and pushes me to get the best of my ability. If I struggle with something he adapts it and always makes sure that I am ok and that I am getting the technique right. He has also started to introduce the bleep test into some of my sessions in preparation for one of my goals in passing a work fitness test. I look forward to coming to the gym and it is really helping with my wellbeing. I have also tried a number of the classes which I have really enjoyed too including boxercise and bootcamp. I would definitely recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Love it, there's very good equipment for functional training and everything is brand new and in a really good state. The staff is very friendly, and the workshops are varied and useful. I highly recommend this gym.

Beloved 007 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Gymbo's, from the quality of the Kit, the detail of their fitness programs and the energy of the staff, it is a first-rate experience. I hated the idea of going to the Gym, but I stayed longer at Gymbo's and enjoyed it more than any other Gym experience I have ever had! I went for the Semi PT package, which looks expensive, but provides fantastic value and really helped me reach my goals (I would highly recommend) I had to leave Gymbos, only because I live north or Cambridge and the commute got a bit much for me after 6 months, 4 times a week, but that is of course no reflection on my experience. James and the team are top notch and if you get the chance to train with Chris take it. I’ve never had a tougher, but at the same time more rewarding workout.

Helio Flores 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and to excercise before work. It's a real gym, CrossFit extraordinary, weights, classes etc..

Nick White 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Roomy inside; great brand-new kit - special mention to the Ski Erg and the rope climber; and finally somewhere with pull up bars high enough for me at 6'6". Nice atmosphere with really friendly staff who will happily advise you on how to train better. I will be sad to leave but I'm moving away from the area.

Paul Stokes 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Gymbo's Sawston since it's opening in the Spring of 2017 and I highly recommend it. The facilities are first class - brand new, good range of cardio, weights and body weight equipment. The staff are approachable and knowledgeable. Must be seen to be fully appreciated - inspirational.

Adam Morris 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly trainers, good mix of fitness types, you won't find any weight machines here but there is other equipment here you'd struggle to find anywhere else, and most importantly its quiet!!!

Heather Harper 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been to lots of gyms and this is by far the best. The staff are not judgemental of your abilities at all and all are willing to help you at any point. The classes are all great and suitable for anyone of any ability and there is a fabulous weight section and cardio suite!

N R W 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The gym is well equipped, the trainers friendly, professional and most importantly knowledgeable. Online booking and cancelling of classes is straightforward, although the ability to call someone to discuss things not covered by the website would be useful. The gym offers very good value for money. I opted for the semi-pt membership, which if you can commit the time, is the best way to achieve personal training at a £/per session rate that is unrivalled anywhere in the Cambridge area.

Alun Bedding 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with lots of brand new kit. The personal trainers are excellent and always willing to help. If you like your cardio there is much to choose from, three rowing machines, two curved treadmills, spin cycles and cross trainers. It is the first gym I have seen where there are lanes for sled and tyre work. There is also a great range of weights and quality kettle bells. On top of this the location is perfect and so convenient. I would recommend Gymbos to anyone who is serious about their workouts and all round health.

Sara Newton 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The instructors/trainers are great! Very friendly and helpful team of staff and I can't rate them highly enough. There is a great range of functional fitness equipment. Definitely recommend this gym to anyone thinking of joining.

Daniela Ford 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. There's all you need if you want to be fit. They are all very nice and friendly. ☺️They have a great system so that for PT is always someone available .One of the best decisions what I made ☺️
