Sam Warrington 10 months ago

Positive experience: Been here about 6-8 months and they got a big expansion meaning they could also expand the amount of machines they have. This gym is great for beginners and also people who are looking for a more laid back place to workout. I see people of all ages here, having a great time. The staff are all really nice and ready to help with anything you’d need. 10/10

Positive experience: Well rounded gym for the price. Sometimes a crowded given it’s a small space. Improvements: - needs better AC as it’s almost unbearably hot in summer

Fantastic experience: I started 3 months ago and decided to have PT Sessions, best money I've spent this year so far. Ash is a great PT. He is very patient, doesn't shout but is encouraging, he knows how to get a little more out of you than you think you have especially when you'rein your 50s! I've learned about my capabilities and how to use different the equipment and my self confidence is growing too!

Fin Spiers 1 year ago

Negative experience: Terrible gym for the price. There is a lack of machines, there’s no machines available if there’s like 10-15 people in the gym. I was made to pay a full month after I ended the membership which is expensive for the state of the gym. So I basically paid a full months membership for nothing which is ridiculous

The Exercise Lounge
The Exercise Lounge

Hi Fin Sorry the gym has not met your expectations on this occasion. Regarding the availability of machines we continually assess and adjust our equipment to accommodate the needs of our members. Which recently included an increase in machines and doubling the floor space. However we understand that this will not always meet everyone’s standards so we apologise if the equipment on offer was not suitable for you. We have a one month notice policy on all memberships that everyone signs on starting their membership. We are sorry if this does not meet your specific circumstances upon cancelling. Whilst we understand that fair prices are subjective, we do believe £22.99 per month is a good price for our facility and services. We understand that not everyone will agree with our price structure, so it is unfortunate we did not fulfill your pricing needs on this occasion. Thank you for your feedback and we will take this into account as we make further improvements. Good luck on your fitness journey and if you wish to discuss your experience further please reach out to us by email.

Negative experience: Be aware that if you move within the year, you won’t be getting a refund. Also be aware that you’ll be still getting emails, messages and calls despite unsubscribing, blocking etc. Relentless, pointless spamming. *Edited* I know I should have read the T&Cs. Who does before you sign a gym membership? That’s why I reviewed, so others would. Your point on unsubscribing is incorrect, it’s gaslighting, and your actions breach UK GDPR.

The Exercise Lounge
The Exercise Lounge

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with your gym membership experience. Regarding the refund issue. Our memberships, especially those acquired during discounted sales, typically have specific terms and conditions, including a no-refund policy which is outlined in our membership agreements you sign upon joining. In regards to our membership emails, we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We like to keep members up to date with current offers and especially with our recent expansion progress. We can not see your opt out, however we have manually removed you from our member mailing list so you will not receive any further communication. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services. We wish you all the best with your fitness journey and relocation.

Fantastic experience: As a new member I have been made so welcome! I'm a woman in her late 50s- I arrived with specific strength goals, and some trepidation! However, from my initial induction , to the personalised program she wrote for me, Danielle has been outstanding! So well informed and able to deliver just what I was looking for. The gym is light and airy, well equipped and, at the hours I have visited so far, never too busy to get a good work out. I appreciate some people may like the anonymity of a larger facility but, for me this gym with its friendly, inclusive atmosphere is perfect! Thanks, Danielle for your support and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: Just to say a big thanks to Ash, Danielle and Tom. I've just finished the 6 week offer they had going and have subsequently signed up for normal membership.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across the Exercise Lounge thanks to Facebook. I have joined as a Group PT member and am loving it. Ashleigh knows his stuff, works me hard & keeps each session varied. The sessions are spread throughout the day so you can always find a time to suit. I highly recommend - especially if you are new to training or needing help getting back into it.

Fantastic experience: Spending time at this local gym - recently opened. They’ve done a great job of getting functional equipment in place. This is a gym to come in workout and train and then go. Training sessions offered through the membership are excellent. Highly recommend Ash - both knowledgable and motivational. Definitely recommend you check this out. Easy parking too.

Pauline Southern 2 years ago

Positive experience: I turned up for my first gym session the second day of opening. Ashley was and still is friendly and helpful, but I felt the gym, which is small, had "things" missing. But they were clearly teething problems because as time has gone on it is fully equipt now for my needs. Also plenty of free parking. Pop in and have a look for yourself

Thank you Pauline! Unfortunately there are always delivery issues/teething problems with opening new gyms but we got there in the end! Glad we have everything you require now and look forward to helping you with your fitness goals

Fantastic experience: Nice new Gym, just what the area needed.. Friendly Staff, good range of equipment. For those who don't like, large corporate gyms, where, you are just a number, this is ideal. Not expensive either

Thank you James for your review and your kind words. We really do try to be a supportive and personal gym. Alongside being at a very reasonable price point for all of our members. Glad you’re enjoying it

Phill Potts 2 years ago

Negative experience: Very Small Gym. Not your everyday Gym with mod-cons as you would expect from a Gym today, but it is cheap here. Would suit people who don't like being around a crowd of people. It not long been open, but it was not my kind of place, so I've given it 2-Stars. Don't be put off by my review I would suggest you go and look and see for yourself. There is plenty of parking available here too, and it's literally outside the place.

The Exercise Lounge
The Exercise Lounge

Hi Phill, thank you for your review. Sorry we are not suitable to your needs at this time. We are a small, personal club and we hopefully appeal to all abilities especially nervous members and beginners who would not ordinarily use gyms. Our main aim is to create a non intimidating atmosphere at an affordable price. We have only been open a couple of weeks and constantly getting new equipment delivered, however we do accept your point it won’t be for everyone and we will never be a club with rows and rows of equipment. Thank you for taking your time out to review our gym and we wish you all the best on your fitness journey.
