Fantastic experience: I've been going to the universal Gym around 12 years now. It's grown and adapted to the ever growing customers. The thing is it feels so welcoming , the staff are by far the most kindest, funniest humans ever!! Each and everyone has a individual character that shines. Without this gym, the friends I've made and the family who made it happen I literally would not be whom I am today because I love being there.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly gym that takes out the worry of being watched by others and feeling nervous. All the staff here are really friendly and professional, going out their way to make sure you are safe and know what you are doing. No show-offs here, with generally a slightly more mature demographic, which really put me at ease joining as I am a nervous gym go-er considering I don't have a great deal of knowledge when it comes to working out. Special shout out to Louis who, on joining, showed me how to complete a full routine to get me started on the right foot. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. Been going there for 5 years and have sadly had to move to another due to heading off to university and it is not the same haha. The staff are some of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. The equipment is top end, there is everything I want and the gym is always improving. The atmosphere around the gym is lovely and always full of friendly faces and people looking to help people out. For me, this is not just a gym. This is a safe place for me to focus on improving myself and take my mind away from whatever struggles I may be facing at that time. If I’m having a rough day I’ll get down to universal and I will always feel better walking out of the door than I did walking into it. The UFC isn’t just a gym for me, it’s a family, and I will miss it greatly. Lots of love and best of luck. See you soon! -Alfie

Fantastic experience: fantastic gym with variety of equipment, staff are so friendly and always more than happy to help. They go above and beyond for their customers including hiring out halls for parties to thank us as customers. Throughout lock down they continued posting videos and classes so we could adapt our work outs to our homes, always upbeat despite how hard it must have been for them as a business. could not recommend a better gym.

Fantastic experience: The best gym, with the best most welcoming staff! Great equipment! I remember when I started going years ago i had a pre conception that it would be full of meat heats and be really intimidating! I couldn’t of been more wrong! It really feels like a community when your in there! Really enjoy my ‘ Me ‘ time when I’m in there! 1000% recommend

Positive experience: The gym itself is brilliant. Only issue is the company used to manage the subscription. If you miss a payment they'll try to charge you more than they state in their terms and conditions

Fantastic experience: UFC is a fantastic gym. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, the environment is always clean and motivating. Harvey is constantly upgrading every aspect of the facility, from the equipment, studio or the on site shop. The classes are well run and fun and there's plenty of choices if you fancy a post workout protein shake or any other supplements. If I was going to run a gym, this is exactly what I'd want mine to be. It's the only gym you should be using in Bourne.

Fantastic experience: Literally my favourite place. I've been to all kinds of gyms before but if you're after a gym that's a great place to train with a genuinely friendly and welcoming atmosphere then this is the place. There's always someone around willing to help, strong selection of classes, lots of kit including everything you'd ever really need. It's a place you can exercise without feeling judged, always feeling welcome and supported. It's not trying to be a fancy luxury gym or offer anything unique and crazy. It's a gym that does exactly what it says on the tin. Whatever you want to achieve you've got all you need and people there who care about helping you without trying to force you through their 'process' and no hard selling. Honestly the best gym I've ever been to, cannot recommend it enough. If you're local or just visiting, go have a look.
