Grant's Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Went first time today after moving to the area, and was pleasantly surprised! Great stuff, lovely lady showed me around, loads of different machines and everyone will find something for themselves there. Got a week long membership but I feel like will need a longer one :)
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure training down at grants, a lot of money invested back into the gym. Actual staff rather than a turnstile system which goes a long way. Protein bar is a great facility and caters for all levels, vast choice of supplements and meals. Always nice to support local businesses
Fantastic experience: My first visit today to this old fashioned style spit'n sawdust type gym, that has everything you need to get the job done. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, especially for a southerner like me who lives locally. Way better than gyms like JD and onegym, for equipment, and flexible payments without commitments, ie contracts etc. Oh and the protein shake bar is a nice touch after a workout!
Fantastic experience: Very good gym with lovely crew, good equipped and still improving. Love this place

Negative experience: Used the stand up sunbed and not impressed no heat came off the tubes and I would not use again or recommend. Only giving 2 stars as the man arriving me was friendly.
Hi Tracie we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your sunbed today these tubes have very recently been renewed but we will go in tomorrow and check them out to make sure everything is working properly as we have had no complaints before
Fantastic experience: Best training facility in the North East
Fantastic experience: Great gym good people happy days

Fantastic experience: UFC Vet and the coolest guy in MMA Davey Grant runs this amazing facility. Training here is a no brainer
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Definitely old school which I prefer and there is a vast selection of free weights and machines. There is no shortage of weight plates and even when the gym is packed, you still have a lot of options to choose from equipment wise. Staff are friendly and polite and even the toilets/showers and sun beds are always really clean. Highly recommend this gym.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, great equipment and friendly staff. My husband is a new man since he started training there
Fantastic experience: Good friendly gym to train
Fantastic experience: This place was utterly amazing, great equipment, friendly staff, good selection of weight training equipment, including a shoulder press bench which I have not seen outside of home gyms for years! They even had a bar where you could pay for whey protein or mass gainers! I wish I was here more often to use it far more!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the north of england
Fantastic experience: friendly atmosphere and a wide range of mechines
Fantastic experience: Best gym around.
Fantastic experience: Wide range of machines just excellent gym overall couldn't fault it
Positive experience: Very reasonably priced (£3.50 a session, £10 a week, and £30 a month (3 months and yearly are also options). Good equipment allowing you to train anything and everything weight related. Free weights to powerlift and isometric Hammer Strength machines for individual body parts. Cardio is lacking, relatively, but you have access to a treadmill, a crosstrainer, and a spin bike. You cannot Olympic lift here. The rust and grime will rub off from the plates and equipment to your hands and shirt, but I personally have no issue with washing my hands, and I would much prefer that environment to an overly sterilised "Globo Gym".
Positive experience: Class. If not a little outdated but always looking to make improvements. Rome want built in a day
Positive experience: Good no frills honest gym. Friendly staff and always people there to spot for you if required. Not to be confused with other pretend gyms full of nonses, make up wearing birds n constant facebookers. Train hard or go home.
Positive experience: £2.50 a session, dated equipment but still does the job!
