Fantastic experience: This is a brilliant gym - it has a really nice local community feel to it with friendly staff and members and everyone is really respectful and supportive of one another. There are four floors - the basement has lots of free weights with multiple benches, squat racks and a big deadlift area, ground floor full of cardio bikes, treadmills rowers etc, first floor has the women's room and a big room with weight machines and lots of stretching space and then there's an additional top room with a boxing bag and more space with a high ceiling.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Workout Ashton over the last 4 years and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The classes are fantastic, they have the most friendly coaches and high quality facilities. Feel grateful to have such a lovely local gym - and a bonus that it’s completely independent too

Fantastic experience: Excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Classes are absolutely amazing. Excellent food at Nourish next door. Great gym!

Fantastic experience: quite simple you can't afford to not be a member ... the classes are amazing ... the gym kit is excellent and there is a sauna in the ladies changing room ... to top it all off everyone is bloomin' lovely

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for 5 years even through lockdown - The gym dealt with covid amazing, keeping classes going and being upbeat throughout! Always friendly faces, great equipment, I left David Lloyd as it was so busy and commercial there. They listen to feedback and make visible changes, communication is fab. Don’t go anywhere else, you have everything you need at Workout, and a family to go along with it! A million thank you’s!

Fantastic experience: Lovely, good value gym with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Good range of classes and brilliant instructors. Particularly like the women only room and the sauna!

Fantastic experience: It is the best gym I have gone to for over one year. The best thing is that I can see my changes a lot. I have become more healthy and energetic. I like attending classes. Every coach is very experienced and knowledgeable. I love body sculpting, kettlebell, pilates, yoga, and calorie killers...

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and affordable gym with an army of professional instructors and personal trainers. Great variety of classes to suit all levels of fitness. Friendly and helpful desk staff. IMHO the best gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: Amazing fitness classes throughout the week!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Workout for over 6 years. The staff are great and very friendly. An excellent gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Workout Bristol since pre covid and I can say it is one of the most friendliest gyms I have ever been too. From the equipment to the sauna/steam room.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, excellent facilities, and really friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great value, friendly staff and feels inclusive Womens only gym area and sauna makes it stand out

Fantastic experience: Lovely, non-pretentious, welcoming, non-judgmental, reasonably priced gym :)

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, very kind and helpful staff, well priced and almost never overcrowded

Fantastic experience: It's a great gym that has everything you could want from your go to local gym plus a sauna.

Fantastic experience: Good gym. Great value. Lovely people.

Fantastic experience: Friendly independent gym. Plenty of weights and cardio machines. Something for everyone no matter your fitness level. Classes are held in a separate building just down the road next to the Coopers pub. Also great value if you don't make it regularly and fantastic value if you do. Love the ladies only space. Range of independent PTs to support your goals too

Fantastic experience: Ive been going to this gym for over 10 years now. It’s a small independent gym with helpful and friendly staff who I’ve gotten to know well the last few years. All the equipment you’ll need for such a small amount per month.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with super competitive prices and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Workout offers a refreshing alternative to the usual fitness chains. The atmosphere is welcoming and community-oriented, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home. The equipment is well-maintained and varied, catering to both beginners and experienced athletes. The staff are knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping members achieve their goals. They offer personalized training programs and regular classes that are challenging yet fun. One standout feature is the community vibe; members frequently encourage each other, creating a supportive environment. The gym also hosts events and challenges that foster camaraderie among members. It’s also very reasonably priced especially for what you get! An excellent gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for a couple of years now. A wide range of equipment is available. the steam room and ladies only room are great and the atmosphere is the friendliest I’ve experienced in a gym. It’s great value for money overall

Fantastic experience: Kind staff, always clean & a welcoming atmosphere! I go to both the Harbourside & Ashton gyms & for the price, you'd be pushed to find better

Fantastic experience: I've tried a variety of gyms (Luxe, Pure Gym etc) however I've not felt more welcome and at ease than I do at Workout in the month that I've been signed up. The staff are lovely and there is more than enough equipment so you actually get a turn on the equipment that is usually taken over during more peak hours in other gyms. The ladies only area & sauna is also a massive plus! There are some areas that have seen a bit of wear and tear and could do with a bit of freshening up but this doesn't really detract from the overall experience.

Negative experience: The sauna is very dirty, with no backrest to lean on or place to fix a towel to sit on. The walls are blackened due to sweat and bacteria. The bathroom is filthy, with mold in the ventilation system. Additionally, people are leaving their shoes and belongings on the benches, contributing to the mess. The humidity levels are also very high. The condition of the carpets in the main area of the gym... They are old and saturated with sweat and mud from shoes. It seems impractical to have carpets in a gym environment. This situation is unacceptable and unsanitary. Please address these issues promptly to ensure a clean and respectful environment for your customers.

Fantastic experience: Lots of great ergs and cardio equipment. Cheap too!

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite places to workout in Bristol. Great facilities, loads of equipment options and friendly helpful staff

Negative experience: I been a member for about three months I have to go The men changing rooms are very stinky Smells of feet and farts. I always use the disable toilet next to it need go. I never used a man's changing room The young lady at reception was lovely Give me Protein bar was nice The weekends people was going into gym for free Every time I use my key card People was climbing over. Don't know they are members or not If you want to get very Active this gym maybe okay for you. The machines is upstairs and free wights In the dark basement

Fantastic experience: Good gym, has everything you need. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I've just moved to the area and have to say having been to four different PureGyms, EasyGym, and TheGym, this is by far the friendliest I've come across! Great sets of equipment, and a sauna and steam room included in the membership? Cracking stuff. Some blue-roll dispensers to go with the antibac would really make a big difference, but otherwise this place is top notch. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym excellent staff .. friendly faces and just a nice place to be even if u don’t fancy working out much .. .. I’m not getting any younger and both my job and hobby require me to be a bit fit..a 5 hr battle with a 1000lb tuna kills .. this is the place to be I’m glad to be part of the family from day one

Fantastic experience: Excellent friendly gym. Well equipped and lots of staff around to help. Always improving facilities. Separate female training area which has really good equipment in it which I mainly used but the whole gym is accessible and inclusive.

Fantastic experience: An amazing community-centric gym which is outstanding value for money, with a welcoming and hard-working team. The gym has everything you need and more, plus a sauna and steam room. The adjoining cafe offers great discount for gym members. You can't ask for much more from a local gym.

Fantastic experience: Have just started going back to the gym after a 5 year break and was apprehensive at first - however, the staff and other gym goers at Workout Bristol are so friendly I felt right at ease. Great range of equipment and showers and a sauna for those who use the female changing room. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere has helped me to establish a regular gym routine - thanks Workout Ashton!

Fantastic experience: Just rejoined gym and absolutely love it. This is the best atmosphere gym in Bristol and so relaxed and has everything you need.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the gym, it’s a very friendly environment, & even when extremely busy in January still enough space and equipment!

Fantastic experience: Clean and affordable, with lots of different classes and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Really love the unpretentious vibe. Needs another lat pulldown/seated row machine though. The thing is almost never available.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and Personal Trainers. very friendly, huge number of classes included n the membership. Amazing value for money .

Fantastic experience: Been here since the club opened - 'Welcome to the family' sign greets you as you enter the gym. After a decade and more - they continue to look after everyone, and strive to improve the experience of health, fitness and friendship. 5 star

Fantastic experience: A very high quality and affordable gym. Classes are included in the price of membership, the equipment works well and there's plenty of it so something is always available.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great classes and friendly staff, would highly recommend.

Negative experience: Been going to this gym for around a year now and the cleanliness and quality of equipment has only decreased in this time. Dumbbells and benches and disgustingly dirty as no one ever cleans them, poorly layed out gym and persistently broken equipment that isn’t fixed. What’s more they recently bought a load of new multi purpose benches that make it impossible to lift any significant weight due to the inconveniently placed foot rests and very wide seats, especially if you are a petite woman.

Positive experience: Great gym for the price, with a few flaws Pros - Great friendly staff - Sauna and steam room for the price of a standard gym membership - Has a decent amount of squat racks - Free lockable lockers without a padlock Cons - The free weights areas machines and weights is dirty. You can see the grey sweat marks left on the machines and can sometimes even smell it. It would be great if the tissue dispensers were stocked to promote hygiene, or like my previous gym give cloths out for people to use. - one off fee every march for development? No other gym has this, not sure why it isn't wrapped in the subscription. I hope to see new machines in march. - an upgrade to the leg extension machine would be good. The machine's back rest doesn't let you adjust the position, meaning that if you have a shorter thigh your knees may not be in a comfortable position when using it. - not really a con as one exists on the first floor, but I would love a seated row machine and or lat pulldown machine in the free weights area.

Negative experience: Lack of parking and they charge a £20 development fee but nothing seems to be developed

Positive experience: It's a small and cute gym. I'm very happy with their spin classes, there are several every day. Couldn't figure out if there's WiFi to use though, every time I go there's nobody at the reception to ask

Fantastic experience: Member for 6months or so. Can’t fault the gym, good equipment and really friendly helpful staff. For a smaller gym they seem to always be trying to upgrade and get new equipment. I only leave because of work commitments, I’ll hope to be back soon.

Fantastic experience: Love workout! It’s such great value for money for the gym and all classes! Staff are really friendly and the female weights room is brill and has all the equipment you need. But what I really enjoy are the classes! There is a great variety and I highly recommend Paul’s spin and spin and core if you are after a good challenging workout! Paul is a fab instructor and PT, you work hard and get great results!! I’m really pleased with the progress I’ve made with him and would recommend it to anyone who is keen to get fitter and push themselves!

Fantastic experience: Been a member for such a long time and I still get a buzz going. The staff have fostered a friendly community minded spirit and are always there ready to help. The gym is continually invested in so there's always something new - the addition of a cafe has been a great personal benefit. There are so many classes, something for everyone. Loving Paul's new Tabata class, so much energy and support to enable you to challenge yourself. Followed by Paul's spin which never fails to deliver a different routine every week, full of motivation and encouragement with the added bonus of great tunes. Keep doing what you're doing Workout - your hard work and dedication is appreciated!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely brilliant gym with everything you need to improve or maintain your fitness. A wide range of classes to suit everyone, very good PT’s and at a price that everyone can afford. All in all, it’s a great place!

Fantastic experience: Really lovely gym with welcoming staff and a women's only weights room which I love. Sweet sauna in the changing rooms and so many classes to go to. Really great gym, probably the best I've been to for value for money.

Fantastic experience: It's a nice gym... friendly staff. But for the price going up the machines are a bit outdated now. Could do with a few more machines in the mixed gym upstairs

Negative experience: Really bad smell , Poor/Average Kit, Nice staff - Downstairs weights room and the mens changing room have a truly awful smell (really off putting - coming from a male). Additionally there is really poor hygiene from those who use the steam/sauna facilities - people are not showering beforehand (there's no sign to tell you to do so), and are also going stright in with their underwear after a training session. This has put a fair few of us off using these facilities. - Whilst there is lots of good/new pieces of kit, there are weight sand plates that are crumbling to pieces or are extremely dirty. - The staff are always really lovely and helpful, cant fault this one bit.

Fantastic experience: I really like this gym. It’s really friendly, staff are great, no- nonsense, and low key. Everyone just getting on with their thing.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym and the staff are very helpful. It's a good system as you can look on your online account to see if its busy or not at the time you prefer to go. Will definitely be coming back

Fantastic experience: Great gym, wide range of classes with great instructors, great PTs, fab gym cafe .

Fantastic experience: Great gym. It's got everything you need and it's great value!

Fantastic experience: Top gym.. all the equipment you need and more, super friendly staff, regularly upgrading facilities & kit, welcoming atmosphere. PT Jack is excellent, very knowledgeable, intuitive to how you’re feeling and great fun. Great job Workout Ashton

Positive experience: I've joined this gym roughly 3 months ago. They offer various classes (this was one of my main reason that I've joined). I really enjoy the spinning and yoga classes. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. Alex and Lucyano are true credit for the organisation.

Fantastic experience: Top gym with very welcoming staff

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest gyms I've been a member of - the staff are lovely and the gym is well equipped and the classes are great. Special shout out to Amy who runs the spin classes who's absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, decent hours and have pretty much all the equipment needed for either muscle building or cardio

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. The team are always friendly and welcoming. It has exactly what I need, plus, it's affordable.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of several gyms before but never stayed for very long until I joined Workout. Unlike other gyms, there is always someone around to help and the gym doesn’t feel intimidating. I highly recommend getting a personalised programme to get you started as that will help build your confidence particularly with free weights. I have been doing PT sessions with Jack for over a year and highly recommend him. The classes are really good too, I’m a big fan of spin. All in all, it’s a great gym and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely friendly gym. It has everything you need and the staff are amazing! They always make you feel super welcome and are always on hand if you have any questions. Always clean and tidy and such good value. The ladies only room is also a huge bonus!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms around. Great facilities and equipment. Friendly staff and prices you can't beat. Been my go-to for the past 5 years now and couldn't recommend it more.

Negative experience: The Staff are bullies. This used to be such an amazing place. I basically grew up there during my time in college and secondary school. It did wonders for my mental health. Sadly, this is no longer the case. The staff are rude and intimidating, one even was aggressive with my 16 year old younger brother. He has always struggled with his mental health and after this traumatic incident, he no longer feels comfortable exercising at Workout Gym. Workout claims to be an inclusive and safe space, and boasts about its commitment to mental wellbeing through their "Changes" Program. This is obviously a pr stunt as this could not be further from the truth. They have hurt his mental health, not helped it. The staff are bullies. Go elsewhere - even it costs more. Edit : I have since been informed that the incident occured with an external contractor (Personal trainer) who pays rent to use workout gyms facilities. I have been assured that this will never happen again and Craig has been very helpful in trying to amend this. I will leave this review here as a reminder that Workout Gym must hold all contractors to the same standard they expect of their staff. And address any future incidents with the upmost scrutiny.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, really friendly staff and other users of the gym are always nice. Brilliant space with great equipment, would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Friendly staff, loads of great classes, no muscle meatheads

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great price, lots of amazing classes and the community is so motivating and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful family run gym, the people are all lovely, make you feel so welcome and are so helpful. There’s all the equipment you could need and they’re always making updates/ improves based on customers feedback. Couldn’t recommend it more :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the classes at Workout Ashton over the last few months and have been really impressed. The instructors are friendly and helpful - they always encourage you and you get a great workout! It’s really easy to book onto classes and amend your membership as needed. Due to circumstance, I’ve had to cancel my membership for the time being but am looking forward to returning soon!

Fantastic experience: This is a lovely local gym run by lovely people. I’ve been going regularly for the past year and love it - you’re genuinely welcomed by a smile every time you go. It has everything you need to have an effective weights or cardio session and is separated out in to various areas over 3 floors. I go in the mornings and the people there are a wide mix of ages and fitness levels with no ego bouncing around. Few things to note: Phone reception in the basement is spotty so download your playlist at home The basement ceiling is fairly low so you can’t do military press while stood up (it’s fine upstairs) People actually put their weights back after using them

Positive experience: It’s a great place the only thing I can fault in the men’s changing rooms, none of the showers allow you to adjust the temperature this would be my only downside I hope someone picks this up and arranges for at least one shower to be a temperature adjustable thanks!

Fantastic experience: Been few years unfortunately for health problem I have to leave.but I had direct debit problem I been there I spoke to the lady manger she been very polite and helpful sort it for me very happy. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming environment. Good classes and a nice vibe in the space. I can recommend. Fair prices and the no contract pay monthly set up works for me.

Fantastic experience: Just the friendliest gym. It is well-equipped, tidy, affordable, and their Ladies Only room is my favourite thing. There is no pressure or ego. The classes are excellent too. They went out of their way to continue to provide for their members during lockdown and I really value my membership. Truly, a gym for the people.

Negative experience: Your gym upstairs on Baynton Road above the CrossFit Ashton gym has continued to play incredibly loud music from 6am. I have reached out via email to Craig but it seems that the PTs have still not been made aware of the noise complaints. Seeing as they're the ones making the noise perhaps they could all be emailed. I have been in person once to ask for it to be turned down and that's not really something I fancy doing every time at 6am.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, family owned and staff are friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices and really good equipment including in the womens only gym (lots of machines, not just Pilates balls!)

Fantastic experience: Welcoming front desk guys and gal! Kudos to them Gym relatively quiet on weekday evenings after 8.30pm. Around 2.30pm, a few more people but still relatively quiet. Yet to experience weekend
