Negative experience: The gym it’s alright, customer service is really bad i’ve trying to cancel my membership for 3 months and every time they take another payment such a rip off , when i emailed them they said we gonna take another one for the next month then we gonna cancel it !!!
Hi, thanks for your message. As per the conversation with us today, our memberships are very easy to cancel and do not have a fixed term in place before you can cancel, there is simply a 30-days notice when you do wish to cancel your membership. All we ask is for this cancellation request to be emailed to [email protected] We have not received a cancellation request from you until following the phone call today. This has been processed straight away and written confirmation has been sent to you. Obviously we are sorry to see this one star review, but this does not accurately reflect our customer service as we have not received any request to cancel from you over the past 3 months as referenced.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Just spent a couple days staying in Royal William Yard and wanted to weight train. Signed online to Block and was really impressed by a great gym with excellent equipment, happy staff (spoke with Ben who obviously enjoyed and was good at his business) and wonderfully clean. Good atmosphere. I am very used to many gyms but I think this the best gym I’ve been to for relaxed training. Even had a couple pieces of equipment I have never seen before. Shame I don’t live locally. Excellent.
Fantastic experience: Block gym is fantastic, I’m not a typical gym goer but this place is super inclusive, friendly experienced and informative staff!

Fantastic experience: Best people ever
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and efficient service
Fantastic experience: Only just joined two weeks ago, but feel most welcome. I am over weight, middle aged and simply need to get some exercise. The premises are so smart, equipment state of the art, and expert staff so friendly and helpful. The gym is clean and well organised and the surroundings are breathtaking! Modern facilities in a 200 year old complex with, (it seems)-a beautiful sunset over views of Cornwall every evening 10 out of 10!
Fantastic experience: Great machines and large amount of free weights. Friendly, helpful staff. Place is always spotlessly clean.
Fantastic experience: Looks good from the outside. Reasonably equipped. Was quiet. Updating now after signing up. Really cool gym. Fab kit in there. Not too busy. Management team and trainers give it a real welcoming feel. Shout out to Nathan too. Excellent customer service and super friendly. Gutted we are moving out of the area.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoying my time in this gym! Great facilities and great staff, would recommend!
Fantastic experience: No expense spared on the equipment and probably the cleanest facility I've ever used. Will visit again
Fantastic experience: I work across the Courtyard from BLOCK Gym and have only just recently joined. I wish I did it sooner! It's a fab gym and the equipment is very hi tech and good quality. The staff are super friendly and it always has a nice vibe when you go in. I use it for early mornings before work and the shower/changing facilities are really lovely and have little extra touches that you won't find in most Gyms in the area :) I am yet to use my PT session, which I bought in a welcome pack deal, but I'm really looking forward to it. I would highly recommend BLOCK Gym to anyone and everyone.
Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever been to. New equipment , clean, friendly staff and the atmosphere is great.
Fantastic experience: Great experience as a new member - friendly staff, excellent brand new kit and a cool vibe in a unique building. Haven't used studio but had a peek and seemed like a really nice space, looking forward to yoga!
Fantastic experience: I was extremely anxious about going to gym after not being in one for over 18 years, however I felt very welcomed by the staff. The staff make this gym a place I look forward to going to. Love the community spirit, love the vibe and I can’t imagine setting foot anywhere else now. The classes are fantastic too. Thanks to all!
Positive experience: New gym in historic architectural gem of a building. New and clean equipment. Clean small changing room and showers. Not too crowded. Reasonable day rate.
Negative experience: Very small, nice location, no atmosphere. Didn't seem busy. Staff were vague about costs and parking questions. Car parking times were quite restrictive. Machines were very new and interactive with videos. A bit too much for my hubby who likes a practical place to work out with no fuss.
Hi Julie, Really sorry to see this low review, we'd love to hear a bit more about when you had visited and who you'd spoke to if you could pop us an email to [email protected] Our pricing is super simple with 2 monthly membership options and 2 short term pass options, this information, including pricing, is all available on our website, and parking is available free for members 24 hours a day, this is within any public parking space in RWY and valid for 90-minutes upon each visit. The videos and programming options on our range of strength equipment is all optional, and can easily be used without using these features.
Fantastic experience: Well equipped gym, friendly, professional and experienced staff. A good range of classes including special well-being events! Really enjoyed the SUP yoga as part of my membership out on the sea and look forward to future events. Beautiful location for a sea swim or paddleboard after a gym session. Excellent shower facilities and changing rooms with free parking included. A bonus to have discount off many local businesses in the area too. ‘More than just a gym’ so happy I have joined.
Fantastic experience: Such a nice atmosphere, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful ☺️ love the equipment and always so clean!
Fantastic experience: I’m delighted that I joined this gym! The facilities are state of the art throughout and the team are really helpful and patient. There are lots of small classes on offer and everyone is made to feel really welcome. Come and check it out!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the block gym for almost two months now and I can honestly say it’s the best gym I have ever been to. I have been a member of over fifteen gyms around Europe in the last twenty five years so I feel I have had an opportunity to compare. Iv now persuaded my partner and son to join as Iv been so impressed. Iv written a list of reasons so I don’t ramble on. 1.friendly… staff are really friendly and knowledgeable you feel very welcome. 2. All inclusive feel. I honestly thought that because the gym was new and in such a stunning location that it might be a little intimidating. This is simply not the case. 3.level of instruction. I have now had PT and tried all the classes with all the instructors and Iv not had an average class.they have all been excellent! From Pilates, yoga to strength based classes and cardio the classes are really first rate. Simply put all the instructors are brilliant! 4. Facilities. The brand new machines and equipment are first class, there is nothing that is lacking at this gym and the changing rooms and showering facilities are great too. I highly recommend this gym. Hattie
Fantastic experience: This gym is brilliant!! it’s clean, tidy, light and has everything you would needed for a workout. Staff are welcoming and helpful. I will 100% be coming back to The Block!!!
Fantastic experience: Been excited for this place to open ever since I saw it advertised, and it has not disappointed. The equipment is such high quality, always put back in the right place, and kept clean. I don't like I am constantly waiting or fighting for a machine, which as someone who likes getting in and out before work in the morning, is a massive pro! Especially as the changing rooms have actual showers and GHD hairdryers and straighteners. If you are looking for that perfect balance between an affordable gym, whilst having those extra touches that just make it feel so premium, this is the gym for you!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love everything about this gym The location, the trainers, the classes included in the membership, the quality of the kit as well as the other gym users who are all ages and abilities. There is always availability on machines and for kit and the variety of classes and content are fantastic We have worked with most of the trainers and all have their own personality and experience that keeps each session exciting and inspiring. Having 90mins free parking as well as discounts at some of the other RWY vendors is an added bonus. Looking forward to what else Nathan and the team have in store over the coming months!
Fantastic experience: Excellent environment.. great equipment… friendly and knowledgeable staff
