Negative experience: Used to be a member here a few years ago when it was a dedicated body building/hard training gym! Now looks more like a disco! Wanted to enquire about day passes as I'm moving out of the area in October - waited for five minutes at reception and not a sole came to serve me! Clearly staffing is an issue there nowadays! Glad I'm out of Margate soon - I might just find a good gaff where I'm heading off to! Update - now closed. Undergoing a three month refurb!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been in Margate for holiday and got an amazing friendly service provided by the one and only Adam at Urban Fitness! The gym has an nice environment and has a good vibe. We would absolutely come back here in the future if we’d ever return to England. Would definitely recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly gym with a great vibe. Mixed group of clientele all made very welcome by the professional team who go over and above to make this gym a good experience for all ages, shapes and sizes. Clean changing facilities and plentiful amount of equipment with designated room/areas air conditioned for group coaching and classes. Coffee, shakes and snacks too. Great gym for beginners or returners with competitively priced offers for 6 and 12 week guided programs, and a very personal service. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I joined the Group PT sessions in November and Urban Gym & team have been amazing! Not only do I feel fitter & more toned but they’ve explained a lot to me about exercise & nutrition, and most importantly what works for me! I highly recommend the gym for the classes, knowledge & vast selection of equipment in the gym. Mark& his team are brilliant

Fantastic experience: Group PT programme is amazing, I joined in Sept 22 when it first started. Mark gives 24/7 advice and support and his PT sessions are intense, motivational but fun. Which gives the best results. I have lost weight, body fat, inches and feel amazing. Joining was the best decision ❤️

Fantastic experience: I use Urban for classes but I will be moving my gym membership to here when my current one expires…. Tardis comes to mind, it’s a lot bigger than I imagined, the kit is brilliant, it’s got everything you need (& more to try), it’s clean, tidy, and has a really friendly atmosphere.

Hi Waqas; thanks for the feedback and the positive comments on the gym. Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate your needs for even later opening hours at the weekend. Our opening hours are in line with other full service manned gyms in the area. Our staff do a great job with early starts and late finishes to create the best gym possible and we feel they also need time to recharge their batteries to provide the very best service to our members.

M Mau 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had an issue with cancelling my membership. I moved out of the area and wanted to cancel. Phoned many times and sent emails, no replies so I could not cancel. Obviously not happy so left a bad review and requested for the owner to contact me. The owner who is a really nice chap saw my review and phoned me right away. He cancelled my membership and removed any outstanding balance on my account for the inconvenience which was very nice of him. Very upright and honest person so his gym will do well and I wish him all the best. The gym is very nice and has a good vibe. Staff, members, Everyone i have met there are very nice and chilled. I really enjoyed this gym.

Hi Jayne, Thanks very much for your review! Feedback really helps us to know where we are going wrong and what we are getting right. Firstly, we will always bar members who are rude and abusive towards our staff. No one deserves to be berated by members demanding discounts they are not entitled to. We always ensure our staff and members are safe - and we always will. On the second note, thanks for the feedback regarding the body building. It’s really warming to hear that we are getting it right and that the image is changing to a more inclusive gym. We have invested tens of thousands of pounds in new equipment so we thank you for noticing. Lastly our lighting has had a few changes, after the new installations yesterday we finally have it right - it’s a shame you won’t have seen the changes but please do look out on social media for the photos. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: A real old school bodybuilding gym. Got every weights/machines you can imagine. Very heavily bodybuilding weighted but has small cardio aree,. Including punching bags. Staff very friedly and helpful, Tebid is wealth of knowledge having competed before. Adam and Natalie also lovely and i could chat to them for hours. At. Only £20.50 a month what more could you ask for? Highly recommended

shane mccoubrey 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have known the owner of this gym for many years as I trained at same places as he did . I am very happy he found his own gym business as he loves the fitness and bodybuilding industry . Time , energy and money into better equipment ( new chrome dumbbells sets are fantastic ) -and a hugely improved layout of more machines- has made it exciting to go to. I love the American famous gyms like Golds in New York and Venice Beach and he has recreated that atmosphere again. It’s an old style friendly gym but with best equipment.
