Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym with plenty of equipment to choose from.. Very friendly atmosphere with lots of supportive people in there who are more than willing to help where needed.. Definitely recommend a visit.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, ilohna! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our gym and the supportive atmosphere we strive to create. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym, everyone is super friendly, staff also extremely nice and will show you how to use a machine if needed, equipment is very good, have been going a few months and loved every second, got 5 freinds/family to join up as the gym is so good
We're thrilled to hear you've loved your time with us at Andy Brown Fitness Coaching, Farrell! It's wonderful to know our team has been able to provide the support you needed. Thank you for recommending our gym to your friends and family. Your positive review means a great deal to us!
Fantastic experience: Love it great gym great staff
Fantastic experience: Gym is fully equipped with all the machines you can think of. Staff are very friendly and always on hand to help. 100% recommended
Fantastic experience: Started Apex gym in January after being at another for a good 12 Months or so and it’s changed my outlook on my fitness completely, I’m not the most confident at the gym as my PT instructor will tell you, but at Apex they don’t judge you, they are really friendly and everyone encourages each other to be the best versions of themselves, You can ask anyone for advice and they will always help you I would never have walked into a gym by myself 12 months ago but after being at Apex since January my confidence has risen Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Apex gym has totally changed my outlook on my fitness and health. The equipment is second to none and the help and knowledge from staff and members is amazing. I started Apex in January this year and I've never looked back. I'm not your typical gym goer. I aren't ripped or have a figure to die for I'm just an average 51 year old who has a love of the gym. I was extremely sceptical on my first visit as I didn't know what to expect but my fears were soon squashed on my first visit. I have a PT who is my inspiration and she is so so supportive of me. There are lots of PTs so you can fine one suitable for you. I feel comfortable to train on my own and there's always someone on hand to give you help or advise if you need it. I'd say if you're thinking about joining just do it you definitely won't be disappointed
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym: great equipment, staff all friendly and really good atmosphere to work-out in.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience
Fantastic experience: Been training here a few months now and think it is even better than my first review. If the music stops for some reason, between tracks for example, all you can here is the clanging of weights and training partners encouraging each other. I have also had a friend use the personal trainers and they reported back that they are excellent. Fantastic gym. Used to go to Powerhouse but when it closed this place wasn't open, pity. Ended up in DW and when Everlast bought it they lowered the age which made a bad gym worse (although staff great). Looked for a new gym and after a free trial joined here. The place is somewhere you go to train. Brilliant equipment, excellent friendly staff and the members know what they are doing on the whole. And great mix of ages and abilities, not everyone a bodybuilder, some bettering themselves in other ways, cardio for example. Very little if any waiting for machines, always clean and well maintained. A real asset to the bodybuilding and fitness community of Stoke.
Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym environment around! All staff make you feel very welcome, best quality of equipment as well and it really shows how much Andy cares about the place!!!
Negative experience: The worst customer service ever
Hi Armaan, Let's outline the issues here,. You brought in an underage person a few weeks ago, I told you that he couldn't be in the facility. I then allowed him to be present with you while you did your workout as long as he didn't use any machines or equipment. A little later the child was running up and down the gym with equipment in his hands. Admittedly, you were "told off", but frankly the staff and I are responsible for the well being and safety of everyone on site and you were warned of this. You then returned a week later to cancel your membership where I gave you an e-mail address to contact as we don't manage the direct debits here. You were not happy with the fact that you had to pay a months cancellation fee, which is evident on the website and in the direct debit T&C's. This is common across many businesses especially gyms. Best of luck in the future Thanks, Andy
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym , the comments about the lack of fitness machines, it's a gym of limited space, there is only so much you can achieve in making it satisfying to everyone. First and formoast the bodybuilding side is of the best guality. And tbf I've never had a problem getting on the fitness aperatous. All the staff been very accommodating
Fantastic experience: I have been training at Apex since March 2022, it felt welcoming from the moment of first going, Rachael offered show me around if I needed it. The staff are great and you don’t just feel like a number to them and the other members of the gym really make you feel welcome you can always ask any of them for a spot. Andy the owner invests into his gym and placed a large order for a load of new equipment recently. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else now.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I went for a free trial last month and joined up straight away. Staff are great, friendly and helpful. Always greet you on arrival and ask how you are etc. Changing rooms always clean. Doesn’t get too busy or crowded. Members all seem decent folk and I haven’t come across any idiots. Equipment is great. A good mix of old style and modern kit. Some real nice Gymleco, Granite and hammer strength plate-loaded kit. Plenty of free weights and cables, loads of plates. Can’t fault the place at all!
Fantastic experience: Love apex It's my Peace staff are great and friendly The owner Andy Is always kind And gives you the help you need always Wouldn't change Apex for anything
Fantastic experience: Apex feels like home when i walk in for my workout each day. The staff are very welcoming, every one of them speak and greet members all of the time. I particularly like the layout of the gym and it feels very open and with a great lighting. Lastly the music that apex play is great.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, great atmosphere and supportive staff and fellow gym goers
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great atmosphere, conna fault the place.
Fantastic experience: Great absolutely amazing gym they are always they're to help it's a great vibe. Amazing equipment and the music ain't bad either
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym and I'm so glad I've started coming here. I've always been quite big and when I went larger gyms which are with big chains, I used to feel embarrassed and afraid to go since I knew nobody and I always felt scared to ask anyone for help. At apex it's just such a friendly gym, everyone can talk to eachother and have fun while working out. Everyone who comes and works here is amazing and I promise you won't regret it if you sign up for this gym ❤️
That's awesome Brandon! Always welcome here. Really appreciate the review :) Andy
Positive experience: Visited last year went to look around was shown around the main half of the gym by Rachel but when I asked to see other part round corner she told me to go and look myself which was a little rude and snooty or she just couldn't be bothered. Went back next day for one day trial workout was shown how to use some of the equipment by Katie (personal trainer) who seemed approachable and friendly. Also had a chat with the owner Andy who seemed a decent personable guy. Pros - weights and resistance equipment up to date, decent and aplenty. Weights area was not crowded and fellow members seemed friendly and ok. Cons - Not enough cardio equipment was only 2 treadmills plus was other people waiting to use and jump on as soon as you had finished. Imagine trying to get on at busy times! Car park small and limited although there was street parking available. Changing rooms clean but rather small.
Hi Joe, I’ve taken on board your comments regarding the team and I’ll pass them on. We do only have two treadmills, but we also have 1 cross trainer, 2 bikes, a stairmaster, a rowing machine and an air attack bike. We are a small independent gym, not a chain gym with large funds to dispense. We recently invested £43,000 into the business with new equipment and flooring (which has just been installed in the past 2 weeks). If you need some treadmills you could try a large cheap chain gym like pure gym, best of luck in the future. Thanks, Andy
Positive experience: Well kitted out, great staff but sadly some rude members and quite difficult to get to.
Hi Iain, thank for you visiting the gym and leaving a review. I apologise if any member was rude to you but I don’t think categorising all the members under rude is very fair. The members that come here are some of the nicest and joyful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I’m not sure what you mean difficult to get to, we’re on the high street in tunstall. Right outside a bus stop. Best of luck in the future. Thanks, Andy
Fantastic experience: A quality gym, jam packed full of quality equipment. Clean, welcoming environment, with good music and the staff are extremely friendly.
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym! Friendly staff! Finding my confidence and learning so much with the help of Katie.
Fantastic experience: Excellent friendly gym
Fantastic experience: Great experience staff are polite and welcoming, answered all of my questions even offering a 20% discount for my first month a member off staff then showed me around the gym and showed me how to use the equipment highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into weightlifting or is already experienced.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant friendly gym .. plenty of kit to go at .. great music and good atmosphere... Not your usually "body building intimidating vibe" staff helpful and a good selection of products to purchase if needed will be going again
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great equipment, very friendly background and all the staff are always there to help
Fantastic experience: Great gym, top equipment, clean, all staff are brilliant and always willing to help
Fantastic experience: Solid gym and a sound owner. All the equipment is really high quality and well maintained.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly atmosphere, regularly likes to improve with new kit, A50 fitness would recommend this gym to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, really good equipment and friendly staff highly recommend to any gym user.
Thanks Michael!
Fantastic experience: Apex gym is a great gym local to me, the staff are really helpful and encouraging to me as someone who is just starting out in the gym. The equipment in the gym is also really top notch and they are always updating it and its great to see that they are now selling supplements at the counter! All in all a great gym environment
Thanks Harry!
Fantastic experience: Good selection of kit, nice atmosphere in the gym and the staff were great :)

Thank you Jay for your awesome review!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym love coming here Staff are very welcoming Equipment is 10/10 Best local gym to attend Priced very well compared to competition Highly recommend for everyone
Fantastic experience: Great gym good atmosphere very friendly staff love coming to the gym make you really welcomed best gym in stoke.
Fantastic experience: Visited on a day pass which was super easy to arrange - all of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The gym was spotless and staff were almost constantly cleaning the equipment which was nice to see Well laid out with plenty of equipment choice, trained legs which is my favourite and I wasn’t disappointed at all, even found some new machines I haven’t seen before. We travelled an hour to visit here and will be coming back again - but a no brainer if you’re local.
Fantastic experience: Made the journey from the West Midlands to the gym following all the hype!! Andy the owner, definitely made it easy for us to find and was accommodating not only over social media but also in person. Likewise, all the other staff were friendly and helpful and kept the gym extremely clean and tidy!! In relation to the gym, there is definitely a wide range of equipment and we managed to have a really good leg workout! We would definitely revisit and train something else! Lots of parking too!!! Definitely recommend especially if local :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few gyms in Stoke and Apex is by far the best. Its hard to find a gym where as a female you feel comfortable and Apex is the place I feel most comfortable. Really friendly atmosphere. The owner and personal trainers here make you feel really welcomed and are there to help.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly and helpful staff! I’ve been searching for a gym to suit me for a while and this place is perfect. Plenty of machines that all look well looked after. Welcoming to all, definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a gym!!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, very clean and tidy gym (I've been to a few gyms and this is by far the cleanest). Staff are always welcoming and offer guidance.
Fantastic experience: Since I moved to stoke a few months ago I’ve found this is hands down the best gym in the area. It’s got all the kit you could want (especially for training legs!) and everyone there is super welcoming with a really nice vibe. It’s the only gym i would use here.
Fantastic experience: Amazing selection of equipment and the music absolutely slaps Best gym in Stoke on Trent
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in stoke. Staff are really friendly and the equipment is amazing. If you don't like a commercial gym, this is the gym for you.
Fantastic experience: One of the best places to train in Stoke-On-Trent by far! Firstly, every member of staff is fantastic, very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable; this also applies to the members that train here. The front desk has a good assortment of protein bars, preworkouts, energy drinks, water and also frozen meals, along with high-quality, eye catching merchandise. The gym area is really well designed with custom artwork and caters to a vast range of training needs. The atmosphere is always fantastic and the music choice is spot on. Although this is not one of the largest gyms in the area, all of the equipment is well thought out; each machine is very high quality (with some unique pieces of kit that can't be found in other gyms) and always maintained to the highest standards. Weights are returned to where they belong and the gym floor is always immaculate, partly due to staff, and partly due to the members. There is a water fountain, showers and lockers available, along with a sunbed and a number of on-site sports therapists. All in all, this gym is the complete package, big props to the owner for doing such a great job!
Fantastic experience: Apex is a quality gym with quality equipment, great atmosphere from staff and other members, no bad energy whatsoever. All the staff are willing to help out with in any way they can whether it be advice on how to use a piece of equipment or a better way to reach a full range of motion, ora spot or even just general chit chat! There are multiple gyms closer to me than apex but I’d rather travel the 25 mins to train happy and comfortable than make the compromise.
Fantastic experience: This glorious house of gains is the best gym in Stoke on Trent and one of the best in the country. Friendly welcoming staff and they are always on hand to help with advice and spotting. The gym has a really good atmosphere and I would reccomend it to anyone. The equipment is top notch with new pieces added frequently.
Fantastic experience: If you want a friendly atmosphere with more equipment with information on how to use and knowledgeable staff this is the gym for you. I was made to feel welcome from day one and I was amazed at the facilities offered. It’s all you want in a gym.
Fantastic experience: Sick atmosphere, all the equipment you need and could want.
Fantastic experience: Visited apex gym, wasn’t too sure if I wanted to go the gym at all tbh. Got talking to a PT there called Jamie. He was brilliant, took an hr of his own time to find out what I wanted, what would suit me. The gym is new, the staff are great, I’ve already had 1 PT and second in 2 days. If ur out of shape and want to change,, this is the place
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Stoke top staff and very helpfull this gym and all the staff here at apex go above and beyond to help all who come here, I really struggled with mental health issues but have never felt better since starting my gym experience here at apex.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great machines and friendly environment for anyone starting out. Very personal touch with all the art work aswell. Very clean and hygienic all the time
Fantastic experience: It's my gym now. Good staff and a proper gym.
Positive experience: Top gym with friendly atmosphere, good range of equipment, friendly staff and reasonable opening hours.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, friendly environment. I have PT sessions with Katie and she is brilliant couldn’t recommend her or Apex gym enough.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with great kit. Good atmosphere in the mornings. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: It’s amazing what Andy the owner has done with an old carpet warehouse in an unfashionable backwater of Stoke-On-Trent. Creating a great space for training, suitable for anyone, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or a seasoned gym goer, male or female, you will feel comfortable here. There’s a great selection of equipment to use which is constantly being updated and all staff are friendly, approachable and clearly work-out themselves. Most if not all are personal trainers, so you can ask anyone at reception for advice if you need it. There are no disinterested, jobsworths working here. In fact that’s perhaps that’s one of the defining characteristics of Apex, that it feels like it’s cared for by the staff and there’s a passion for health, fitness and large scale street art in the place. Shout out to Katie, Rachael, Jamie, Mike and Zac, who are all doing a great job! I say give it a go, all you’ve got to lose is weight and possibly gain fitness, muscle and maybe even a new friend or two.
Fantastic experience: Had a PT at Apex Gym the other day & loved it. The gym was great! It was clean, spacious & an excellent atmosphere. My PT (Kate) was fab too. She made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in & is an actual fountain of knowledge!! Proof is in the pudding with her personal training as she herself looks absolutely amaaazing!! Can not wait to go back!
Fantastic experience: I have pt sessions with Kate both her and the gym are fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly environment with everything you need! Staff are helpful, been having PT & nutritional advice from Katie, she is very supportive and knowledgeable. She has also been amazing with adapting my plans when needed!
Fantastic experience: We have attended this gym since January 2022 for Personal Training with Katie ‘Train with Katie’. The gym is spacious, clean and has plenty of great equipment. The trainers at the gym are friendly/ approachable and equipped with lots of knowledge & information, their friendliness makes the experience more comfortable when attending a new gym, Gemma L.
Fantastic experience: This Gym is brilliant, not from around the area but visited during a family visit to Staffordshire. Staff are brilliant and very friendly and helpful. Equipment is great with everything you need and very very clean. Thanks for having us.
Fantastic experience: Awesome PT session with Harry this afternoon. Really cool gym with some great equipment. Definitely got put through my paces. Don’t think I’ll be able to walk tomorrow

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Good atmosphere, supportive friendly staff and a lovely owner, Andy. They are more than happy to give advice and tips, and all take their own training seriously. Really good equipment with a wide variety of machines and weights to use. Plus it is super clean, has some great artwork and different membership options to suit everyone. I have used different gyms over the years, both chain and small business ones, and this is my favourite of them all.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in town friendly staff always willing to help you out and give you advice Definitely recommend this gym to anyone
Fantastic experience: I Have been training at Apex since it opened and the gym has a great atmosphere . Andy and the team are very helpful and very friendly and they are always adding to the Gym and trying to move it forward.Great place to train
Fantastic experience: Great little gym! Has some equipment that even the bigger gym's in the area don't have. Great atmosphere & very friendly staff. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: I have tried most gyms around Stoke and this place is just my favourite! Not only do you get the best equipment but it is also filled with the best trainers around! This gym is friendly and I never feel uncomfortable like I have at other gyms! This place is stuck with me!! The trainers and owner are always so friendly.
Fantastic experience: Firstly this gym is the by far the best I have trained at in 12 years of training for multiple reasons. I joined when it first opened and seen the continuous improvements and ideas the gym owner (Andy) has. He has invested heavily on a ongoing basis to make the gym better for its members, whether that is buying more equipment, deco and artwork or adding new facilities and services, they have all made the gym a better place. Staff who have worked here past and present have always been polite and helpful as such are a credit to the gym. The atmosphere, the community within the gym, the constant reinvestment makes this gym special! I have seen and read a lot of the reviews must say I am disappointed to read the negative comments as they are completely untrue and have no basis. Thanks for all your hard work!
Fantastic experience: Great local gym.
Fantastic experience: Some of the best machines and equipment that you won't find in any other local gyms. A lot of work has gone into the gym and the staff are all friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Quality gym, owner is a top bloke and always reinvesting in the place to make it better place for everyone to train. Recently installed air condition meaning it’s going to be a lot easier train in the hot sweaty summer months. All staff really approachable and friendly, really couldn’t recommend the place anymore. Best value for money gym around
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, staff really friendly and knowledgeable. The gym itself is well kept, clean and tidy. The equipment is continually being updated with the latest kit. All the team are very approachable and have vasts of fitness and training experience, and all go above and beyond to help with all you fitness requirements.

Fantastic experience: When I joined over 2 years ago it was a fantastic gym , and it’s gradually gotten better and better, always investing in equipment and improving facilities. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere, always look forward to working out here special mention to Katie for always giving up her time to help me out and push me on with my training
Fantastic experience: Best gym in stoke-on-Trent. The only gym I know where you speak to the staff like you’ve known them for ages and always very helpful. The gym is very clean and hygienic especially though covid has been a great thing. Everyone who goes the gym all make a great community together and all get along.
