CH1 Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I've just finished a small PT session at CH1 fitness, it's part of my life routine and as usual it was great to work out with a new set of gym buddies. Importantly for me I appreciated the instructor's awareness that i'm suffering with rotator cuff injury, and the ability to adapt the session to enable me to maximise what i get out of it. I am especially appreciative of the instructor's awareness to offer alternative exercises that are tailored to address my injury and aid my recovery (and i can try at home). This only comes from instructors asking the right questions and having the knowledge to offer advice. I'm a 50 something with aches and pains, but dont let that stop you ... give CH1 a go, try the trial sessions .. if a bit of you doesn't work, there are plenty of other parts of your body you can work on :-)
Fantastic experience: I have always loved classes, but the classes at CH1 are another level ! Extremely well thought out and structured. The coaches are super helpful and it really feels like you have a personal trainer. I’ve never enjoyed weights, but CH1 have helped me find a new love for them and I just love it here!!
Fantastic experience: Fab Gym, feels like a family there. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing thanks Louisa. You are part of the family
Fantastic experience: Best thing I have done this year! I've had an amazing experience at CH1 Fitness. Not only are the programs and classes top quality but the team are also incredible and there to support you every step of the way. Everything is curated with a thoughtfulness and sense of community that you don't get with other gyms. It really works!
Ah what a lovely thing to say! We are so glad you are loving your experience with us Zoe! Keep going strong you are doing brilliantly!
Fantastic experience: Genuinely fantastic experience here at CH1 Fitness. Their team are friendly, supportive, motivating and effective. They've got me into some great routines and I feel as though I've made some drastic improvements in my fitness. They have a great range of classes with people of all ages and abilities. The gym itself is a really lovely place to exercise. I honestly couldn't recommend CH1 Fitness more.
Amazing Alex. Glad to see you thriving and absolutely smashing it in your sessions and with some great lifestyle changes as well!!
Fantastic experience: Joining CH1 has been the best decision I've made in 2023 so far. I used to go to mainstream gyms but struggled with motivation and hated it. When I came across CH1's 6 week starter course, I decided to give it a try. Thanks to Adam, Ceri, and Brogan, those 6 weeks were amazing. I felt like I achieved more during that time than I ever did at a mainstream gym. The team made it fun for me to work out, and now I look forward to my sessions and classes. CH1 helped me set goals that improved not only my physical health, but also my mental health. I can't recommend the team enough. They don't just help you train, they provide the support structure you need to make real, positive changes in your life. Thanks Team
Amazing Michael! Your journey has only just begun!
Fantastic experience: I joined CH1 fitness with some nervousness, having tried other gyms and feeling uncomfortable or anxious in the environment. This is a warm and welcoming environment, and the tone is set by the team - who offer lots of support. I have met some lovely people since I joined and I’m noticing some positive results in myself already.
Thank you so much Rhian. We are so glad you are having this experience. It is exactly what we are aiming for.
Fantastic experience: I went for cryogenic. Must admit its cold but hopefully worth it for my Back pain. Very helpful staff worth a visit
Thank you for the review Ken. Have you looked at Cryobursts own page as they will appreciate the review themselves. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: After lots of physio for a hip injury I was advised to seek out a really good gym to help & support my recovery to build up my muscle strength & improve my overall fitness level. I spent a lot of time researching & looking for a gym that offered what I needed. CH1Fitness has exceeded my expectations & there’s simply no other gym in Chester that compares. The coaches are superb & their knowledge, guidance & support in all areas of health & fitness are outstanding. There is lots of advice on nutrition & your overall well-being. The classes are varied & offer something for all levels of fitness. Everyone’s very friendly. I’m absolutely loving my experience & seen a huge improvement in my strength & body shape & my energy levels. I would highly recommend CH1Fitness everyone, no matter what level of fitness you are at.
Amazing feedback thank you Susie, you are flying. More to come I think!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love CH1 fitness. I lost all my confidence in myself, felt low in my mood and just really unhappy with my figure. I have now been going for nearly 3 months, at least 3 times a week to the large group sessions and I feel AMAZING, my energy levels are up, my mood is so much better and my confidence in growing. All the PT coaches are amazing an approachable, really supportive and you can ask them anything and they are always more than happy to help. Ingrid is my personal coach and she always inspires me to do my best and push myself and I thank her for that & we have a good laugh as well which is always a bonus & I think the work outs are much more enjoyable when we all work hard together and laugh together. I would highly recommend CH1 fitness to everyone, fabulous facilities & AMAZING staff
Amazing Claire. You have transformed yourself in every way. Its a pleasure to see you flourish.
Fantastic experience: I had never been to a gym before and then CH1 Fitness opened near to where I work, so I decided to give it a go. I can honestly say it's the best thing I did. This family run gym is super friendly and all the coaches are amazing. I love my boxing classes and there is an excellent choice of equipment too. I have seen a huge improvement in my strength and body shape and most importantly for me my mental health has really benefited. Thank you to all the team for your on going support. Jane
Ah lovely Feedback Jane. Your are now part of the furniture!
Fantastic experience: I cant priase Adam and his team of Coach's enough. CH1 have just been the most fantastic and amazing support helping me through some really tough personal times and challenges. The team have become my family and helped me change my way of life both mentally, emotionally and physically being there every step of the way. I have never looked back after joining CH1 and would never look to go anywhere else again. Perfect family run gym with personal dedication.
Amazing feedback thank you Fi! A real superstar in our community
Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for nearly 3 months, initially quite nervous about joining a gym and classes. I can honestly say I have never felt so comfortable and welcome in a gym before. I join classes 3 days per week and gym for 2. Coaches are absolutely excellent, and breed such a welcoming and friendly environment. Available for support when needed and the classes are fantastic. Great community with competitions, I find this so motivating and has made a unbelievable difference for me. I would have usually given up by now, but more motivated than ever. 100% recommend.
Thats amazing to hear Ashley. We are so glad you are getting the most from the experience. This is exactly what we hope to provide for everyone. Thanks again for the wonderful feedback.
Fantastic experience: Awesome Place & Relaxed Friendly Vibe I especially enjoyed training with Sensei Adam He's a premier quality teacher and very experienced in kickboxing, bodybuilding & wellbeing he's so tuned in and has a remarkable approach to teaching. Customer service is top notch All staff are knowledgeable, well trained & supportive.. What makes it more exciting & fun is the variety of informative Classes . . Super Clean Space & Well Designed Great Security Level Central Location Fair Prices And many other reasons to join... I Highly Recommend it. Big Love & Light ✨
Thank you. Thats very kind of you. Amazing feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your experience.
Fantastic experience: Did my first reformer class this evening. Was such a lovely experience, a great environment and such friendly people....I'll be back tomorrow!! UPDATE.....Have now done almost a year and a half of classes and still love it. Gentle, yet rewarding exercise in the most lovely environment with the most lovely people (and I've lost my bingo wings! ☺️)
Yes Liz! Thats amazing, you are very welcome to our fitness community!
Fantastic experience: Modern gym, well equipped, friendly and helpful staff. Though a bit on the pricey side
Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for coming to look around. Great to see that you have noticed what we do well. We aren't a budget gym, so price is reflected in all those things you liked and noticed. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: Incredible! Why haven’t you been here already! Reformer classes here are amazing! Teamed with hot yoga daily, a spacious and non intimidating gym! The reformer classes offer Small groups, one to one tuition and results you see in yourself, both mind and body within a few sessions! The tutors are authentic, of the highest level ability and able to take you and your goals to the next level! If you haven’t been or are looking for a new place to start your training journey, make this your first stop! Thank you to the team for helping me feel great again! It’s just inside the grosvenor precinct opposite the jewelers so super convenient to get to! Take a look I am sure you will be as delighted as I have been to find this place! ☀️☀️☀️
Amazing feedback! Thank you Clara. We try to provide this level of experience for all. We love having you in the club. Long may it continue.
Fantastic experience: Been a member since June 2021 and very thankful for the amazing support so far. Lovely people and great coaches and latest equipment. Also lots of classes to choose from to mix things up. Highly recommend.
Thank you Conor, great feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CH1 since April 2021. The equipment and services offered allow you to have so much more flexibility and control over both your individual workouts and long term fitness goals. There are a variety of classes on offer, clean & modern facilities and up-to-date machines. The membership packages offered are also great value for money. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and promote a real sense of community; I have not been made to feel more welcome anywhere else.
amazing thank you Kieron.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. Professional quality equipment suitable for all experience levels. Highly professional environment with knowledgeable members of staff always enthusiastic to assist. Classes are well-coordinated and challenging. I have been a member here for two years. Coming from a background of powerlifting and bodybuilding, the members of staff at CH1 have given me the confidence and knowledge to expand into a more holistic approach to my training through heightened focus on flexibility, cardio and lifting technique. Over the past two months, myself and several other members have been completing our Fitness Instructor and PT courses with CH1. Throughout the process the professionalism, enthusiasm and expert knowledge passed on to us by the tutors and staff (Adam, Deb, Ceri and Brogan) has been unparalleled, and I feel genuinely privileged to be involved in the process. Special mention to the recent additions to the team, Ingrid and Lisa, who have both had an incredibly positive impact since joining, with inputs in running classes, PT sessions, organising exciting events for members and making both new and existing customers feel welcome at all times during their time in the gym. -Will Richardson.
Amazing feedback Will. A pleasure to read this.
Fantastic experience: Awesome, friendly and helpful staff that give you way more attention than any other gym i've been to. Clean, well maintained equipment and facilities and a great general atmosphere that's just a pleasure to train in.
Amazing Josh. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I've been to a few Gyms around Chester and this is hands down my favourite. Modern equipment, clean environment and attentive/supportive staff. Good value for money!
Amazing feedback thanks Michael
Fantastic experience: Second day in a row attending CH1 since lockdown has has allowed us back in gyms. Great sessions and knowledge from everyone. They make sure I am feeling the burn! I will now struggle to walk for the next few days but bring on the next session.

Amazing thank you Wendy
Negative experience: Horrible customer service, I canceled my membership on the beginning of January yet they took the February fee from my account, after many many emails and promises I still didn’t get my money back. They keep finding excuses like: “the member of staff who does it is away this week”. Not to mention their fee is the highest in Chester and they have the least to offer.
Hi Regina, we are so sorry about your experience. Please check your account, as we processed this over the weekend. It should be with you as promised. On your comments about the most expensive and with least to offer, you were paying for a brand new gym and PT within your membership. So with your PT session being £20 you received excellent value, and despite tonnes of support and even the gift of some free PT sessions (which you didn’t turn up for) you unfortunately struggled to attend. With our membership prices at £34.99 I think you will find we are actually offering the best value in Chester.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and studio in the heart of Chester. Have been having some PT sessions too and the guys have some of the best expertise I’ve seen in years. In a fitness industry flooded by PT’s, these guys really stand out as experienced, knowledgable professionals. My wife has joined too and has also loved her reformer Pilates sessions and yoga. Looking forward to all of my future sessions and visits.
Amazing feedback thank you Kris.
Fantastic experience: A gym where they really do care about each and every member. They do as much as they can to help you achieve your goals and keep you motivated along the way! So much class variety too, means you never get bored!
Amazing thank you Helen. Lovely feedback
Fantastic experience: Thought the guys at CH1 Fitness were great when I looked round. They were extremely knowledgable especially Ceri & made my transition over to this gym so easy. Would recommend to anyone thinking of joining a gym. Great work and keep up the good work!!
Amazing thanks for the great feedback Will
Fantastic experience: CH1 fitness, Adam, Deborah, Ceri and all the team have all supported me so much with my fitness journey, in recommending movements for isolation, diet support, moral support and planning of goals to help me achieve. There's always someone on hand to help with form or advice if your'e not sure. I attend daily and its a great community in here, the people all are kind and appreciative, nobody is stuck up, or intimidating, a well managed facility. Last month, i had my whole team in the studio for a wellness and reflection hour for hot yoga and the team at CH1 were great with my whole team, everyone enjoyed it and came away feeling better. I haven't been to many of the classes, but there are so many, with a large variation, but that is something for me in the future. If you have any goals for fitness in the future and want a great team to help you along when you need it, then this is an amazing place to start. Phil
Absolutely amazing feedback thank you Phil
Fantastic experience: My second home!! Most welcoming gym ever, great friendly atmosphere, my pt sessions with Adam are keeping my alive after a stressful day.
Amazing feedback thank you Erzsebet
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Thanks Cameron. That’s very kind of you
Fantastic experience: Brilliant city centre gym. Very welcoming environment with all the best equipment. showers are great and perfect if you need to work the gym around meetings etc. The PT sessions are great value and I have thoroughly enjoyed them and seeing the rewards as opposed to training alone... first class advice, guidance and banter... finish off a session with the best shakes in town! get yourself down there to take a look.
Amazing feedback thanks Owen. Glad you are enjoying it
Fantastic experience: Un sogno, in cui si coniugano modernità, pulizia, creatività e serietà
Grazie Simonetta
Fantastic experience: Member for 8 months. Love this place! Not intimidating, ‘family’ feel, high spec equipment, friendly, helpful staff. Amazing dedicated coach (James); supportive with the right balance of challenge against capability. 5/5
Thank you so much for that feedback Victoria. Very kind of you
Fantastic experience: Great equipment and facilities. Staff are friendly and knowledgable. Classes are unorthodox to your usual gym. Tech related stuff is cool but signing in is a little awkward, might be a case of getting used to.
Amazing feedback Dan. Thank you. Next time you are in let’s make sure we get signing in sorted. Cheers
Fantastic experience: Adam is a great operator - he listened to what i wanted - assessed me accurately and has come up with an enjoyable (!) well thought through and focused but varied program that is working brilliantly - I'm delighted - (as a result I've attended this gym more regularly than any other gym I've been a member of) For me perfect.
Thank you so much Michael. Amazing feedback thank you
Fantastic experience: Best gym setup I've been to, good atmosphere plenty of free machines and in the centre of town. The tech on the machines is cool as it tracks everything you do so you can push your self each session and see the progression. Update to the above about 2 months later... the staff are great and everyone I've met so far seems to be friendly. Still had no issues doing the workout I want as there is always free equipment for what I need.
Amazing Steven thank you for that wonderful feedback
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Equipment is top of the line. Staff is super friendly, helpful and know what they are doing. Classes are done with not a big number of people so they have a personal touch, but means you have to make sure you book your space. Perfect location for people in town.
Amazing feedback thank you Pablo! Muchas gracias
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in Chester. The equipment is of the highest quality, with a great range of free weights and resistance machines (including kinesis resistance machines which you'll struggle to find elsewhere), in addition to a strong variety of state of the art cardio equipment. There's also a versatile range of ever-changing classes in the studio, with new classes often being rotated in to keep things fresh - my personal favourites have been spin, primal and sweat it out but there's plenty more to choose from such as yoga and combat. Adam, Deb, Ceri, Íngrid, Brogan and Lisa are all always more than happy to help and you can always fully rely on absolute top quality advice on anything to do with your training and nutrition. To top it all off you get a friendly, welcoming atmosphere from everyone, both staff and members, to create a real community feel to the gym. Long story short couldn't recommend more
Thank you Dom. Very kind of you to say. Hope to see you in club very soon.
Positive experience: Staff are brilliant, really know their stuff and equipment is top notch. Obviously this gym is aimed at the professional-end of gym users, which is fine, but my only qualm with this gym is value for money. Its great that the gym is fairly quiet so you can get on the equipment you need when you need it, but it seems too quiet at times which can be demotivating. Its down to personal preference but I prefer a gym with a bit of a community atmosphere.
Charlie, thank you for feedback. As you only came for a few hours on one day, this isn’t reflective of our studio. We have an amazing community feel about our club especially within our classes and during the evenings and weekends. Also in relation to your comments on value for money; I am interested to know how you came to this conclusion? You visited us for a few hours on a day pass, and so therefore you did not work with any of our coaches or go to any of our classes which is the real fitness space service experience. You are welcome back any time if you’d like to do this.
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym on a temp basis whilst back in Chester for Xmas. Really nice facilities and really friendly staff.
Great feedback. Thanks Neil.
Fantastic experience: Initially I was reluctant to make the move from PureGym, but since I took the plunge I haven't looked back. The equipment is brilliant and well maintained. The staff are friendly and informative; there's a real 'community' feel about the place. If you're unsure of joining - just do it. You won't regret it.
Thank you Steven, glad we were able to change your mind. Great to see you thriving
