G4 Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Been using for apx 6 months and love it. Staff are all friendly. Lots of equipment. 4 squat racks, which is great as I've never had to wait to use one. Never overly busy. All round a clean, friendly and inviting atmosphere. Would recommend.
Thanks so much for taking time to write this Oli. We love that you're enjoying your training at G4. Jen & the team
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bideford
Fantastic experience: Visited the area with my family for a week and visited this gym 3 times during my stay I believe it's an independent, family run business, as I spoke to Father and son on my first visit, and I always prefer to support independents. Found the staff super friendly, all the equipment needed, and a huge mix of ages/abilities, they obviously work to cater for everyone and it shows. If I lived in the area, this would be my go to gym, hands down, really enjoyed my visits!
Thank you so much for this lovely review Elliott, it is hugely appreciated. Hope to see you again if you're in the area
Positive experience: Visited here a couple of times whilst holidaying in the area. Friendly staff and good equipment. However, some of it looks quite old and could do with updating. Other than that, great gym with everything you need. Cheers.
Hi Paul, thanks for your review - glad you enjoyed your time. All our equipment is 3 years old and is replaced every 5 years although it did take a bit of a hit with lots of additional cleaning following the Covid pandemic. We're waiting for replacement parts from the kit manufacturers where some parts corroded so hopefully it will all look spiffing again next time you visit!
Fantastic experience: Visited while on holiday. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. Great price, and really good large space and great equipment. Genuine mix of people; male, female and different ages. Honestly, if the weather hadn’t picked up we would have happily gone every day! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to write this lovely review Jamie. Hope you had a fab holiday! We'd love to see you back sometime....could you bring sunshine next time?

Fantastic experience: G4 is absolutely brilliant. The classes are great, the spin room is next level - you really have to see the incredible lighting to appreciate how good it is - and the staff are fantastic and extremely professional. Then you have Jen who owns it, she's a quality person and knows how to have a laugh. The whole place has a really good vibe to it, I feel completely at home there and that good vibe spills over to the members, everyone who goes there is social. It's a great place, I'm glad I became a member and wouldn't go anywhere else now.
Thanks Jeff with a J. It means a lot that you've taken the time to write such a lovely review. Especially as I know you wouldn't say it if you didn't mean it! We'll see you soon.
Fantastic experience: Friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Happy to use whilst travelling and we likely be back again. The proposed extension with even more equipment will make it even better.
Thanks Robert. Look forward to seeing you again sometime.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym, run by amazing people. Really friendly atmosphere and loads of support for people new to the Gym. During Covid they've gone well above the standard to make sure it was "safe"and have created so many work arounds to support home workouts.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in bideford by a mile .Very Friendly staff, excellent equiptment and good selection of classes for all levels
Cheers Paul - needed to read this today! x
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: I don't know much about gyms so if you need a review from an experienced gym goer then this is not it. If you are overweight, lazy and a bit worried about an earlier death then this is the review for you! I love this gym, its not full of steroid taking musclebound apes. People are really friendly, the staff I assume know what theyre doing. They look like they do... but I know nothing about fitness or gyms. They motivate me, they have qualifications and theyre friendly. Not really looking for much more than that! Just somewhere I wont get laughed at for looking like an asthmatic 90yr old after 5 mins of a class. I was expecting to not enjoy going as I am really lazy and have no self control but it's been marvellous. You can pay as you go so doing one class wont hurt!
Ha ha Gregg this is brilliant! Thank you for the, erm, kind words and for taking the time to spell check asthmatic. Give it another fortnight and you'll be using GreggtheGymBunny as your screen name....
Fantastic experience: Great little gym. Good variety of classes and brilliant instructors
Thank yoooou! ☺️ xx
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Gym, everyone is so friendly, all the gear, Aircon, instructors always available with a wealth of experience and knowledge, what more could you want.
Thank you Paul ♂️
Fantastic experience: Best gym in bideford by far,really friendly staff who are there to help if needed or just leave you to it
Thank you Jade - glad you are enjoying your training x
Positive experience: Nice gym got everything you need lovely staff very helpful ️️
Thanks for your review Lee. This is especially good to read because I know you work all over the country so are visiting many gym facilities. Hope you get another local project and come back soon! :)
Negative experience: Doesn't have any machine for working your stomach muscles, doesn't even have a sit-ups bench. You'll see the customers having to misuse various pieces of equipment to do a core workout (me included). Only has a single set of each weight, which means if anyone else is using the same weight as you then you can't work out. Quite cramped too, so only visit during off-peak times or you'll spend half the time waiting for machines or trying not to accidentally smash people in the face with your dumbbells. Stings at £48 quid a month, especially as I have to travel to a different gym sometimes so I can work my stomach muscles. Update: closes at 1pm on a Sunday! Just when the place couldn't annoy me any more.
Hi Ed March, thanks for taking the time to write such a long review. I'm sorry you are so disappointed in the facility which was why I offered to refund the membership that you had paid for the one month temporary membership however you did decline my offer and continued to train here. Allow me to address some of the points raised. We have two sets of dumbbells from 1kg to 50kg in the facility with may duplicates of lower weights. The huge range of kettlebells can also be utilised. The gym is 5000sq ft and is light, airy, well-ventilated and air conditioned - we have never before heard it described as cramped. The £48 month (£1.60 per day) non-member monthly fee includes unlimited access to the gym, over 40 sessions per week including spin, pilates, yoga, kickboxing and circuit training as well as showers, free tea and coffee etc. Our regular membership is only £38 per month. The reason we don't have an "ab machine" as you call it is because, as the majority of fitness professionals will agree, they ignore one key aspect of ab training - stabilisation. It is important that you work the abs from all angles in a balanced and fatiguing way to make sure you get the best results - this is difficult on a machine which only works in one plane of motion. We are more than happy to share ideas with you about how to get a great ab workout using the equipment we have here including our Concept 2 SkiErg, swiss balls, weight bars (for ab roll outs) and the numerous bodyweight and freeweight options available to you. We pride ourselves on giving our members the best possible training opportunities so please feel free to ask any member of the team for advice.
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere
Thanks Deb! xx
