Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been too in Banbury. Always very attentive & friendly and excellent equipment. Most importantly, very affordable and easy to get to as its right in the middle of town.
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to review our Banbury gym
Negative experience: Its always freezing cold and I've been left without a secure locker a few times as not all of them have a key. Do not recommend in Winter. They say you can cancel anytime on the non-contract subscription, but this isn't true as you have to give a notice period. Positives are that its central and always quiet in the evening. This doesn't make up for having to work out in 0C though...
Sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your time with us. As a gym the temperature needs to be kept low while people are exercising. However we appreciate there has been adverse weather recently which is unfortunate. The non contract memberships are all 1 month notice, sorry if you were not aware of this, but the terms of membership are all outlined when you sign up. We have had issues with the locker keys, so we are in the process of changing this to a brand new system in the next few weeks that will create more locker space for members. We are pleased you find the location is a positive being town centre. Good luck with your fitness journey in the future and thank you for your feedback it is much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Best gym by far in Banbury. Staff and members are kind and considerate. Advice and support is available at all times by staff. Classes are a great way to learn, keep fit, and also have fun! Thanks to Lana and team for making my gym experience so great! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I always struggled going to the gym, paying for it and not going, but since I have joined The Exercise Lounge, it is totally the opposite, doing PT group sessions three times a week, at a very good price and very good professionals that actually care.Every week looking forward to it. If you struggle to go to the gym, I totally recommend joining the exercise launch.

Positive experience: Not going to lie the place was dead when I went to look. Which I like it's not got as much equipment as other gyms. And I guess theres a damp problem as it did smell when I went to look. But the other then that I can't really comment. So I rated this on how I see it on first impressions. So take my review with a pinch of salt. Make your own mind up
Hi, thank you for your review. We do pride ourselves on being a small and convenient gym for local residents and people working in the area. We have equipment that not only allows for space around them, but enough to hit every muscle. Our friendly team of trainers dedicate themselves to helping all of our members reach their goals. Following your comments, our staff have thoroughly checked around the gym but can’t find any problem with damp. We do take cleanliness very seriously so do our upmost to ensure this is kept to a high standard. Apologies your first impression was not as positive as it could have been. Good luck with your health and fitness journey for the future.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with the exercise lounge since April, and it’s the friendliest gym I’ve ever trained in. I train with a PT called Lana who’s really helped boost my confidence in weight training and improved my strength, and when I train alone I feel really comfortable to get stuck into the weight section without judgement and the staff are always there for help when needed.
Thank you so much for your kind words Rebecca. We are really pleased we have helped with your confidence and strength. Your hard work is paying off!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great gym!!
Thanks Lily! Glad you’re enjoying your membership
Fantastic experience: I started working out with my PT Lana last year at the exercise lounge. The gym is well equipped but small enough to not feel like chain gym. The whole staff team are welcoming and happy to help. The classes are great and I would recommend trying Zumba, Yoga and Strong nation. I feel comfortable going to the gym and using the weights section as it's not always full of men like some chain gyms can be.
Hi Bonny, thank you for your review. Glad you found the gym to be well equipped and enjoying your sessions with Lana

Thanks Rachel, glad you are enjoying our classes and our staff are keeping you laughing!
Fantastic experience: Have been using the exercise lounge for almost two months now, signed up for the personal training program and have not been disappointed, each session is different and so you never get board or complacent, and all trainers bring their own unique style to the session, it works out to be amazing value for money and you definitely come away feeling like you have had a intense workout
Thank you for such a lovely review Mandy. Glad we have given amazing value for money and you’re getting so much out of our sessions
Fantastic experience: Very clean equipment, friendly staff and fantastic strong nation, the instructors are fantastic! Lana is very good and motivating!
