The Fifth Gym

Fantastic experience: Sadly leaving this gym due to relocation. Smashing gym. Friendly staff. State of art kit. I’ll struggle to find anywhere as good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This is a fabulous Gym with great classes, cafe and equipment. Love the sauna and steam. Clean as a whistle, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym , lovely staff , always clean

Fantastic experience: Rejoined after a gap of a few years - post Covid . Staff are still super friendly and helpful. Very shiny new gym with top class kit. And the classes are fab - well tailored to individuals . Good to be back

Fantastic experience: Best gym everrrrrrr

Negative experience: Signed up with "earlybird code" for when the gym would open which I was excited to use. Was told after 6 months that was for normal gym not new gym. Due to delay of opening I paid 6 months having never stepped foot in 'old gym' and membership ended before 'new gym' opened. Silly, take your money elsewhere, over £350 for nothing. Work on communication.

Fantastic experience: Wow! What an amazing gym. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a hello and a happy smile. The staff can not do enough for you and are very knowledgeable. The gym is just on point, all new kit, and lots of it. It is half the price of a David Lloyd gym and by far the BEST gym around. Car parking outside, no worries about getting rickets like Anytime gym. It is just an absolute gem. All lovely furnished and al new. So glad I found this gym. thank you

Fantastic experience: I recently visited this gym and was blown away by the facilities. I was a little unsure about how to use some of the equipment but Cam(?) was really patient with me and talked me through all the safety elements. I found the staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The relaxation room is unlike anything I have ever seen before and it made me feel like I was in a high-end London gym! In contrast to any unfavorable reviews, I can only assume that any earlier issues were the result of teething problems during the launch, and I believe this is unjust to a team that genuinely cares about its members. I am so delighted the upgrade is finally finished and I can't wait to sign up to a full membership when I go back next week. Thank you Team Fifth Gym!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym with friendly staff! Recently switched from another gym in Stroud as the equipment and facilities here are of such good quality.

Negative experience: The kit is fine but my word the staff need extra training as they are pretty clueless....left wandering about outside the door for a while they were screwing around in the next room, once let in they showed absolutely zero interest in what I was doing there and actually turned down my request for a quick tour so I would know where the hell things are. Didn't check any forms or paperwork just sent me on my way so maybe I should just blag my way into a free workout next time. Really put a sour taste on the experience, can't imagine how many potential customers they've cost the gym. This is in stark contrast to the Anytime Fitness staff a few miles away who have proven to be extremely helpful both in getting started with a membership and actual fitness information.

Negative experience: Can’t pay to use the health suite have to purchase full membership for the month even if you don’t want to use the gym. Staff rude and unhelpful. Many others having this problem having to go elsewhere I would advise Stratford park as they do all sorts of day passes for the sauna etc. avoid this gym at all costs.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym, staff, PTs, management and members

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with very friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Kirby, Harry, Levi, Marcelle make this place. Full of advice, guidance and support. Lots of new kit meaning new and exciting approaches to training. Always feel comfortable. N x

Positive experience: I attended my first class at the new gym on Monday and accept it is smaller than the old gym but I thought Kirby handled concerns and the class really well and I came away quite happy. The team all seem eager to address and resolve concerns. Good luck for the next few weeks while the change carries on.

Fantastic experience: I'm a new member at Fifth Gym, and I have been looking forward to it moving closer to me. I've not been to the old gym so I cannot compare. Jill and the team are fantastic. Very friendly, helpful and seem like they will support you in your fitness and wellbeing goals with plenty of good advice and experience. Nothing has been a problem for them when I have asked for something, or when I have had questions. They are always happy to talk to you. As with anything new, there will be teething problems until the management, PTs and the team find out what works best for them and members. Of course, its also up to members to feedback honestly and fairly. So far, my feedback has been taken on and this is great to see. For example, they have turned off the high tempo music in the relaxation, sauna, and steam rooms. For me, its a perfect all round gym that meets all my wellness needs at an affordable price. I get access to classes, strength training equiptment, floorspace for bodyweight workouts/stretching, and technology to track my progress. The icing on the cake for me is the wellness and recovery facilities in the sauna, steam, ice bath and relaxation rooms. Its brilliant! What more could you want. I've met people I know from the local area, and I have also made new friends. I'm looking forward to it becoming a thriving community, and I love the idea of attending wellbeing events, and a DJ upstairs on Friday nights!

Fantastic experience: I love this place!!. The instructors are really knowledgeable and the members are so friendly. Amazing choice of gym equipment to use and staff on the floor to help advise. Overall a fabulous gym!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, staff are amazing, fabulous facilities. Great vibes.

Fantastic experience: Fifth gym is great. My husband and I are really enjoying using the brand new equipment and facilities. A huge thank you to the awesome team for their very hard work and for taking time to show us how to use it all. It’s really exciting to have a fab place to workout. Kate and Seb

Fantastic experience: Fifth is the best gym in Stroud, without a doubt. Featuring brand-new state-of-the-art equipment, luxurious spa facilities, and an exceptional team of friendly staff dedicated to welcoming you and helping you feel comfortable. While the gym has quite literally just opened, constructive feedback is encouraged and being taken on-board. For example, there is a need for more spacing between the leg press machines, cardio equipment and free weights area, however, these adjustments, once implemented, will further enhance the already outstanding facilities. They are minor in comparison to the larger benefits to be found in terms of equipment, classes and brilliant team. Inherently negative people will always find something to complain about. However, it's important to note that membership at Fifth Gym is entirely optional. Those who may harbour judgmental attitudes or resort to derogatory labels, such as "meatheads," may find that the supportive community ethos and welcoming atmosphere are not in alignment with their attitude and this gym won't be a good fit for you. However if you're serious about getting fit and having fun this is the gym for you. One of the best things about Fifth is the kind, supportive community and smiling faces.

Fantastic experience: The new gym is a really good place to be to train, i’ve been every day since it opened, plenty of knowledgeable staff to show you how the machines work and a thorough explanation. i went on sunday and was quiet, monday the place was buzzing, a real feel for training how ever what age, the massage bed is unreal give it a go! looking forward to the classes, overall well done and 100% atmosphere, very helpful staff, and fantastic equipment, would recommend to my friends, well done team fifth gym

Negative experience: Following my previous review of the new Stonehouse location, I am providing an update regarding their contracts and services. When my contract was due for renewal in November 2023, I requested to switch from a 6-month contract to a month-to-month plan, as I was uncertain about my satisfaction with the new gym and had potential plans to move. Upon deciding to cancel my membership after experiencing the new gym, I was informed that the cancellation terms were the same as those for a 6-month contract, which had not been previously explained to me. Additionally, despite cancelling before the next payment was due, I was told that I still owed money. When I expressed my unwillingness to pay, they immediately threatened to involve debt collectors, showing a lack of empathy, understanding, and basic decency. Based on my experience, I advise caution when dealing with this gym. It appears that the significant changes in services and atmosphere at the new location have led to numerous membership cancellations, resulting in a desperate and unprofessional approach to retaining members.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, couldn’t ever get a membership anywhere else. All staff very friendly and greta atmosphere, i feel very comfortable at this gym in comparison to others i have been too before. Can’t wait for the move

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym with great facilities and lovely staff who go above and beyond. Highly recommended. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to. Adam helped me with my routine to deal with a persistent shoulder injury and it’s worked wonders, would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, great atmosphere well worth it if you want to join a gym..

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at fifth for 5 years after having my little boy. It’s a fab gym with all the equipment you could possibly need! It’s kept clean & very spacious which I love.

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly gym and place to training , great classes and the instructors are first class , feels like a family , really enjoy being part of fifth !!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, and the yoga classes are fantastic. If you go out of the normal 'rush hours,' it can be pretty peaceful too. I don't find them to be particularly responsive over email, but anyone at the front desk will always be more than happy to help and answer any queries.

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym about 5 months ago, I could be more pleased! All the staff are welcoming and always around for any questions or advice. I mainly do the classes and I absolutely love Caroline and Ty, they change the workouts regularly and keep me engaged and excited every time.

Fantastic experience: I come in most mornings and I get a good morning everytime, one worker called Marcel greats me everytime I see him asking me about my day and what I’m training. He has made me feel comfortable and welcome to the gym

Fantastic experience: Good customer service, tidy facilities, a great place to train!

Negative experience: Not impressed with broken equipment, ie cycle machines and one equipment in the weights area which has not been repaired. As I usual turn up at 6am I would to give my praise to Adam and Levi who give 100 percent customer service and nothing is too much trouble for them .

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of fifth dimension for over 5 years, it’s is a great gym with lots of space and equipment and a great variety of classes. It is a really friendly gym and everyone is really helpful. I have PT with Caroline who is amazing and so supportive and I know she is going to help me achieve my goals.

Fantastic experience: Haven’t been able to visit the gym as often as I would have liked recently due to illness. A little apprehensive about going again, Andrea really helped with this, she was so positive and reminded me that everyone has breaks, and just do what I am comfortable with. It’s great to know all sizes and fitness levels are viewed positively.

Fantastic experience: A great all round gym. Lots of equipment available. It also has a well kept sauna and steam room and boasts generous sized changing rooms. The studio classes are great with well qualified teachers. I love Caroline’s classes, she is a very knowledgeable and motivated teacher and a friendly face at the end of the day. Fi has high energy and always makes work hard. Marcel’s classes are always fresh and thought out and I always feel like I’ve had a good work out. Noemie is an incredible yoga teacher who teaches her classes from the heart and always bases her classes on the needs of the attendees. Great team of staff and teachers.

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and friendly staff. Power yoga on thursdays and sundays with Noemie is brilliant!

Fantastic experience: Noemie’s yoga class was an absolute joy, I felt transported to my yoga holidays in Goa and loved the class. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Fifth now for over 9 years. Great gym with plenty of good equipment over a lot of space and a great place to work out! Adam and all staff are extremely friendly and very approachable.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Adam is a great trainer!

Fantastic experience: Andrea was really helpful when signing up

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Adam and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful making the experience of this gym great. Love the kit! There's a good amount of machines for all your needs! Best gym I have been too by far! *****

Fantastic experience: Just visiting from New Zealand, and wanted a local gym. Outstanding equipment and fabulous gym classes!! Love it! Steam room and sauna too :)

Fantastic experience: I have only just begun my journey with Fi Dean as my PT at Fifth Dimension and I am so pleased with my decision. Fi has been positive, welcoming and so supportive from the first message sent through to physically meeting her and I know she is going to help push me to where I want to get to in my personal fitness journey and beyond.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at fifth for about 6 years and it’s a great gym. There’s loads of equipment and so much space. The classes are varied and well equipped. Andrea on reception is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Adam on the gym floor is always so helpful, he’s offered me loads of support and advice recently which has been amazing. Kirby is a fantastic PT and class instructor. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, excellent facilities and the most brilliant staff who help if needed. Classes are varied and for all ages and excellent tutors, cannot find any fault and love this place.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming staff and available and all times. When I needed assistance on any of the equipment, the staff such as Adam were very friendly and helped my understanding. A very nice gym with a lot of nice people.

Fantastic experience: Being a member at fifth I have looked to switch up my workout. After working through some PTs with Kirby she has pushed me to a new level and I am feeling great. With new confidence I am able to now use all of the gym equipment which I was unaware of before.

Fantastic experience: Love the classes, instructors are always motivating and encouraging! And always looking forward to a coffee afterward with this bunch!

Fantastic experience: Kirby is the most fantastic personal trainer, she has really built my confidence in the gym, the gym is always clean with up to date kit. Would recommend to all my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Fifth dimension is a great gym it’s helped me through some hard times very friendly.

Negative experience: This gym has massively gone down hill, sadly. Services such as the sauna and steam room are often unavailable, there have been multiple occasions when there was no hot water and they never communicate anything to members. Some of the staff are so rude, they have no idea about customer service or accountability. We cancelled our memberships recently and wouldn't consider ever going back. It's a shame but businesses that act like this simply won't survive.

Fantastic experience: Love going to fifth Dimension, staff are very friendly and approachable. The have a great range of classes and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with brilliant facilities. Great p.t’s especially Kirby young who also works on reception. Always a happy face

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Fifth for a few years now. It's a really welcoming gym and has all the equipment you need. Staff and other members are all really friendly. For a good cardio hit alongside your weights training try Kirby and Caroline's Spin classes.

Fantastic experience: Morning S&C classes with Harry have helped my training no end - great group of people with the mastermind of Harry putting us through our paces.

Fantastic experience: I moved from Bristol a few months ago and am really pleased to have found this gym. It's always clean. There's always space on the gym floor. I've never had any problems signing up to classes. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. Other gym members are easy to get along with. There's a nice vibe about it. For a strong start to your Saturday I'd recommend Fi's HIIT class followed by her Ropes & Core class. For a strong start to your Sunday I'd recommend Marcel's Plyo/Conditioning class followed by Noemie's Power Yoga class.

Fantastic experience: Good local gym, Russell Clarke is very helpful and knowledgeable PT

Positive experience: Great classes and lovely instructors. Fi Dean's HIIT class on a Saturday is great. Caroline is a great motivator in the week for HIIT.

Fantastic experience: Proper banger of a gym, good kit good vibes staff are lush best gym in the stroud area no cap. The trainer Adam is especially helpful and friendly. 5 star.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym possibly the best around. Love the classes and the whole atmosphere. And thank you to Andrea for helping with the fitsense app x

Fantastic experience: It’s the best gym in the Stroud area. There’s so much verity in the equipment. Sighing up was so easy with the help of Andrea. All the gym floor staff are so helpful as well. Makes the whole gym experience worth while. 11/10

Fantastic experience: Best gym about, signing up for the gym was very easy and very smooth thanks to Andria would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym and classes! - Fi is a fab instructor, couldn’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for just over two years. Delighted with the whole experience. The gym is well maintained, staff very friendly and helpful; overall a happy place to hang out.....not to mention discount coffee for members! Thoroughly enjoyable classes aimed at different age groups and abilities. Suits someone like me born at the end of WW11......

Fantastic experience: Really great place to work out, best equipment, always clean. The staff are professional, from the friendly team on reception to the PT's. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with great classes on offer. Staff are amazing and really friendly!

Fantastic experience: Lovely induction very professional good covid measures in place, get yourselves down there !

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym, Classes are very welcoming to newbies Free weights are always available and even at peak times has not been too busy.

Fantastic experience: The best in Stroud. Sauna and steam room. Extra nice staff. The new functional training area is great- love the kit. Also I never have to wAit to use anything as they are fully kitted up big bonus

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, plenty of space, good equipment, a great place to work out! Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: A safe place with first class instructors facilities and a fun environment where you can make friends and keep fit and healthy

Negative experience: Top quality equipment and atmosphere, shame the staff are poor at handling seemingly easy situations.

Fantastic experience: Gym has been transformed into a first class safe enviroment; many thanks for all the hard work by Fifth. Great to be back. And the new car park....quality

Fantastic experience: If you have any doubts about returning to the gym post lockdown, have no fear. Whilst the gym was closed, the staff have been busy creating a very impressive socially distanced environment for training. There are ample cleaning stations & hand sanitising points, the equipment is well spaced & the floor clearly marked to ensure there is adequate space to train safely. If you are at all unsure about returning or need help post lockdown, contact Fi Dean, TEAMFITNESS for guidance. Highly recommended. I have to say that it felt great to be back training so a massive thank you to all at Fifth Dimension for your efforts.

Fantastic experience: New Gym Review. There's no doubt the gym has been kitted out with some fantastic kit, there is limited space for a more functional workout in the main gym, but space can be found downstairs, classes permitting. I was not that enamered in the changes originally but after visiting the other gyms locally available it was soon obvious to see that this was the best choice for me. The addition of the cafe is a nice touch if you want to unwind before your workout or just catch up with friends. The PT's are all friendly and helpful with a few new faces adding dome different options. Jill is doing a fantastic job as gym manager, which has been a real breath of fresh air for the members as previous managers have not been approachable to say the least. It's an exciting time to be a member with new classes and workshops available. If you havnt popped in yet , what are you waiting for.

Positive experience: Absolutely love this gym. Clean friendly and spacious, 1 billion times nicer than Stratford park. Always get on the machine I want right away even after work. Best bit is the big weight room is away from the cardio areas meaning the culture is very neutral (being polite). Would say that the full rate is high but worth it!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility with amazing staff. Couldn’t believe how much space they have. It was welcoming and they made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. Having visited other gyms in the area I can hands down say that this is the best, the level of service is second to none and the whole place is immaculate.

Fantastic experience: Andy cole awesome .

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Love the new equipment! Can't wait to try out the new boxing ring and mma area!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Fifth Dimension expecting a classic claustrophobic gym atmosphere and i'm was so surprised to find this diamond nestled away in Ebley, a huge range of machinery, and different types of equipment, especially like the Omnia Kit. they let me freeze my membership as I am now about to head to Kavos for the summer with the body i wanted :) i will be rejoining with a tan when i'm back! :)

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities, classes and friendly staff who are always happy to help! Stunning new gymnasium and cardio theatre, classes, food, supplements, sunbeds sauna and steam room, and physiotherapy and sports massage,a creche and even a cafe - all at hand and all under one roof! If you ever need anyone to help with a specific work out or training for a specific discipline they offer a wealth of experience / knowledge is always at hand and are never too busy. Overall 5 Stars !

Fantastic experience: New equipment upgrade is fabulous, and the staff really helped me to understand which training methods i needed to employ, a truly innovative locally run health club, they even support local artwork that you can see around the Gym.

Fantastic experience: Over the past two years the people at Fifth Dimension have helped me to lose 5 stone and become the fittest and strongest I've been at any time in my life (I'm 47 now). I wouldn't have believed how much getting fit could improve my life. The professionals at Stroud Sports Clinic have also been on hand to ease any muscular niggles along the way and have given me great advice on exercises to keep any aches at bay. The facilities are clean and modern, but what makes this gym special are its staff. I can't praise them highly enough. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I am a member at The Fifth Dimension Health Club, the staff there are fantastic, always willing to help. There are excellent facilities including all the latest machines and they have a smart sauna and steamroom. They also have Go Bananas softplay next door which is great for taking the kids to, they love it. We relax in the fab cafe next door while they burn off some energy. Would recommend to friends.
