SouthCoastPowerHouse

Fantastic experience: Great vibes quality equipment and friendly

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, and friendly staff. I was only here for 2 days due to working away in Bournemouth but the gym has great kit. I'll definitely be back if I'm sent down here again!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities. Friendly staff. I joined today and am waiting for my induction.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, members and trainers! Signed up after we came out of lock down. Love that it’s local, accessible and opening times are good. It was hard for me to pluck up courage to go in but I was met by the lovely Oli who put me at ease. Free weights can be intimidating but once you get gym-confidence they are great. There are machines with stacks and pins, it’s a great gym with kit for everyone. I currently train with Kim, who is perfect for me, she gives constant feed back, she understands “working life” and all the bits of life that “get in the way” She trains me hard, just how I like it. Together we are making huge inroads to my stronger body for the future.

Fantastic experience: I joined South Coast about year ago when I started online coaching with Oli, the first gym I have been to where you instantly feel welcomed and there is real community/family feel to it, AMAZING gym equipment and a real buzz about the place. Can't ever see myself going to a commercial gym again! If you are looking for an INCREDIBLE online coach Oli is your man, he has taught me so much over the past year which are now habits I have implemented into my life daily. He has changed my life for the better and helped me reach my goals - i am happier and healthier for it <3

Fantastic experience: Been going to south coast now for a year and I can say there’s not a better run gym that I have been too. Always welcoming when you enter, very polite gym users here. Marty and the guys are always on hand to give the best advice regarding training as well as nutritional advice. Been training for 20 years and this gym is by far the best for me.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined South Coast gym, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The trainers here are absolutely fantastic. Oli showed me around and gave me a program to follow, which he added more exercises to a few weeks later. They're not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and motivating. The atmosphere is always upbeat and friendly, which makes every workout session enjoyable. It's a gym like no other I have ever attended. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive and effective fitness experience!

Fantastic experience: Time to update from my last review: Pros -Friendly and well-informed staff. -Welcoming atmosphere. -Reasonable prices considering the range of equipment. -Owner Marty cares about his business, only a good thing. -Recently redecorated parts of upstairs. Cons -To be picky, there are lots of plate-loaded machines. Although great, I'm pretty lazy and prefer pin-loaded stacks of weights. Just my own preference, but the machines are excellent for targeting different muscle groups. Thank you SCPH for what you bring to the community. It's always a pleasure!

Fantastic experience: It's a bit shabby in the corners but that is swept away by the friendly atmosphere. A small and focused gym with staff who practise what they preach. It is great to find a place that is not intimidating and interested in your growth.

Fantastic experience: The most encouraging and inclusive gym I've ever been part of. Equipment is great, staff are highly trained and have such positive attitudes, it's refreshing.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment and a friendly, supportive environment from the staff and other members. I had no idea what I was doing at first, but after having a couple sessions with Dani I felt way more confident!

Fantastic experience: Top gym, used whilst travelling for work and managed to continue my training fully. Well kitted out gym, good vibes/tunes and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Love this place super friendly all the staff are so friendly and knowledgable. From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. Particularly Faye she is so passionate and driven she is a fantastic trainer. I would thoroughly recommend her and this gym to anybody who is either starting their fitness journey or looking for somewhere to train in a relaxed comfortable environment.

Fantastic experience: Went for my free trial session this morning. It is always super nerve wracking and intimidating starting a new gym, but this was completely not the case here. Oli was amazing, showed me round all the equipment and was on hand to answer any questions I had, also met Brit who was super friendly too! Not busy at all first thing in the morning which is perfect. The atmosphere is amazing, the music is amazing and the range of equipment is amazing, couldn’t ask for more! Ended signing up then and there, cannot wait to go back tomorrow and look forward to meeting the rest of the team :)

Fantastic experience: Recently joined with my husband and son. Great variety of traditional free weights and equipment and rare to find a glute thrust! Great vibe and best coaches around!

Fantastic experience: A great gym, staff are always willing to help and my personal training session have been amazing with faye she has taught me a lot about the different exercises i need to be doing and also helped with what i need to be eating to reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, with some of the best coaches within Bodybuilding or lifestyle. Marty has been amazing the past 1/2 years coaching me total professional throughout. The gym has some of the best equipment and has a very cool vibe.

Fantastic experience: Honestly never experienced anything like this place. Its like your favourite, funky coffee shop with a gym inside consisting of the best kit you can get your hands on. The diversity of members who attend this gym tells you everything you need to know about the place. Members of all different ages and abilities chat, laugh and train together. It's a refreshing experience to say the least. I look forward to training at SouthCoastPowerHouse more in the future.

Fantastic experience: The best gym around and awesome trainers that are friendly and always there if you need help or advice. The gym has a great atmosphere from the time you walk in and has every bit of equipment you need to get a good workout. They are always upgrading to have the best there for their members and clients. Would absolutely recommend you try it, you won’t want to go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Lovely little gym packed out with some amazing equipment. Passed through last week whilst on holiday for a workout and was made to feel right at home. The owner took time to come and say hello and have a chat. Defo check it out if you’re in the area

Fantastic experience: Just moved back down to Bournemouth and was looking for a new gym. It can be very daunting looking for somewhere new after five years building a good gym family. As soon as I walked into this place I felt such a good vibe and was so at ease. However, I was surprised by the amount of equipment avaliable even after 5 years of being a gym goer- there were many I was unfamiliar with which can be daunting! PT Oli arranged for me to have an induction where he gave me and hour and a half of his time taking me through every machine including how to set it up, use it correctly as well as educating me on which muscles it worked and how I could incorporate it into my own workout- all of this before I had even signed up. The whole atmosphere was friendly and I could tell that all the people there valued a positive gym culture. I cannot rate this first experience enough, and I am very excited to become a member of this friendly gym family. Thanks so much ✌

Fantastic experience: Great gym, high quality equipment, happy friendly staff and generally a good crowd, Marty the owner is very knowledgable and offers 1 on 1 training which I really enjoy.

Fantastic experience: Cracking gym. Fantastic owner and trainers very knowledgeable and experienced. Extremely professional really interested in your fitness goals and journey never to busy to help you or give you tips.Very good equipment really varied for all levels of fitness banging tunes all day opening times are perfect to fit in around work great clothing range and an amazing selection of products to aid your ongoing journey .... Aswell as great membership and coaching packages

Fantastic experience: Been going powerhouse for about a year now and I couldn't be happier..not the biggest gym in town but has all the weights and equipment you need to have a proper session! What makes it a special place is the people that work and go there,everyone is so friendly and helpful it almost feels like you in there with friends. Past couple of months I been having PT sessions with big Oli and feel like I'm hitting new levels strength wise so deffo check it out and give it a go,won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to go and a great vibe about the place. Got some really good advice from the guys. Thank you so much Marty, keep doing what you're doing! 5*

Negative experience: Happy to review these people and award 1star, power House owner and staff are arrogant complete vial rude juice heads. To much gear and no idea how to treat people and newbies wanting to train. Shame you can't give minus stars. So rude and what a shame as I live in kinson and would love to train more local.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place and space. I had a great couple visits whilst holidaying in Bournemouth. The staff were extremely welcoming and good fun especially Oli who was just class!! If you are serious about body building or power lifting or even just want to work out casually, there is no other place in Bournemouth to visit and train. The kit is awesome ! I can’t recommend enough 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: You know that feeling when you have gone without an addiction for a week. I have felt that with the gym as of late. Hadn’t been in a week due to being away from home. Looked up local gyms and came across southcoastpowerhouse. Looked up the reviews and thought I would give it a go and my word was I not disappointed. Modern twist on old school free weights with all the machines you would need. The owner Marty, Kim and Ollie were all welcoming and friendly, I immediately felt right at home. I left southcoastpowerhouse feeling the best pump I have had in a short while and wanting to go right back in. I only wish that I had a place like this close to where i live. If you are looking for a place that you can call gym home then this is the place. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! P.s I went when it was lunch time where most other gyms would be heaving and it was totally perfect, no issues at all with getting what ever equipment you want.

What you get here is a gym that is designed to be a gym. No fancy bulls*** clocking in and out systems and machines that require you to 'register to an app' this is the kind of gym where results happen (if you work at it).
