Our comment from FitFit UK about Helio Blackpool:
Welcome to Helio Blackpool, a gym that combines a friendly atmosphere with quality facilities. Many users have praised the supportive and encouraging environment, particularly highlighting the Zone45 sessions led by the motivating instructor, Kirsty. Customers frequently note the friendly staff and the non-intimidating atmosphere that helps individuals feel comfortable during their workouts.
Our members appreciate the variety of equipment available, including cardio machines, weights, and specialized equipment focusing on glutes and legs. The gym is described as clean and well-maintained, with many users enjoying a relaxed and less crowded experience.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, a few areas for improvement have been noted, including issues with shower facilities and some older equipment that may not always meet expectations. Additionally, while many find the membership prices reasonable, some users mentioned that certain services can be perceived as a bit costly.
Overall, Helio Blackpool is highly recommended for its warm community feel, excellent support from staff, and a great selection of fitness classes.

Helio Blackpool: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Ive been going to Zone 45 at Helio fitness for about 6 weeks now, and from my first trial session Kirsty has been nothing but supportive, motivating and encouraging. Can’t recommend it enough, really friendly group of ladies too in a really non intimidating environment, as i have found some previous group classes can be. Highly recommend!!
Hi Charlotte, thanks for taking the time to post a 5 ⭐️ review. Great to hear that you’re enjoying the Zine45 sessions. Keep up the hard work.
Negative experience: It was my first and last visit at this place! Old equipment, nasty staff and the smell ughhhh.... I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!
Hi Maciej, We have no record of you being a member or attending the gym and the 1 star review and your comments go totally against the reviews of our customers.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant - everything you need. Bootcamp with Kirst is always a great workout.
Thanks for the 5 stars. Great to hear you're enjoying bootcamp.
Fantastic experience: Excellent fat burning boot camp, amazing PT, quality equipment and all round approachable and affordable gym. Highly recommend.
Hey Joanne, Thanks for the 5 stars and lovely comments. Great to have you training with us. Thanks
Negative experience: When I was signing up, I have asked for a membership with one off payment, as most of the time, I am away from home and didn't want to pay any subscription for something, I will not be using. Neil, the owner said that this is not a problem, and as soon as I sign up, he will cancel my membership straight after, that way, I will only pay for a month, when I will be attending the gym. When I was I away, I soon found out, I have been charged twice for the period I wasn't even on the continent! I have asked Neil to return my money on the very same day, when I was charged, but he did not want to return my money hiding behind a return policy. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR DIRECT DEBIT.
Hi Michal, Let's revert to the truth here. You signed up to a no contract membership that runs on a month by month basis until cancelled by the member. This is outlined during the joining process and in the welcome email you received. You trained at Helio through August, September and October but now claim you only joined for 1 month?? Our cancellation policy is extremely fair as we only request 14 days written notice. This again is outlined during the joining process and in the welcome email. You emailed yesterday and we responded quickly. We're not hiding behind any policy. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Good local gym, never too busy, good friendly staff, reasonably priced.
Thanks for the 5 stars. Great to hear you're enjoying training at Helio.
Fantastic experience: I am from Downtown Grill, been there to join the gym. Its really nice, clean, and good staff too but couldnt join because of my personal issues, i will definetly join after
Thanks for the review. We’re ready when you are. Hope to see you soon
Fantastic experience: Loving Zone45 sessions. I can’t thank Kirsty who runs the sessions for her expertise, support and making great sessions so much fun. It’s great that you can work at your own level of fitness and Kirsty will advise on how to improve and get the results you want. I would definitely recommend Zone45.
Fantastic experience: I attend zone 45 kirsty the instructor is just amazing very motivating ensure you have great form and pushes you to woek harder, groups are small and friendly, kirsty creates a community support and cultivates a culture of women empowering other women , the only down side is the cost , it is quite expensive,
Positive experience: Good gym with a wide range of equipment available. There are plenty of lockers available to use for free, and vending machines are available to buy shakes and drinks from. Plus, there's a water fountain to fill up your water bottle. I don't usually struggle with parking as I come at quieter times. The staff have always been friendly. I like the area decorated to be feminine with plenty of equipment that focuses on glutes and legs, as well as mats and weights. As someone who doesn't like exercising in front of a group of people, it's greatly appreciated. The only negative I can mention is that the shower facilities could be better (ladies' side). One shower doesn't seem to have a working light while the other one, which I have used, is in need of repair as the temperature knob appears to be broken, the knob to turn it on isn't fairing much better and the shower doesn't produce a lot of pressure.
Fantastic experience: Friendly people, always someone willing to help you.
Fantastic experience: Helio is a great gym with good quality facilities and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Excellent friendly gym with great staff and I've never struggled to access equipment. Clean, well maintained and a mixed crowd. Would thoroughly recommend.
Positive experience: Air conditioning not on.
Hi John, Thanks for the feedback The air con is timed dependent on the number of people in the gym. If it's ever too warm just ask one of the team to override it. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Blackpool, the staff are very welcoming and the other members make it a good atmosphere. Membership price is very reasonable, highly recommend signing up.
Thanks for the kind words Jack. Great having you train with us.
Fantastic experience: I hate gyms, never settled in them, until I joined Helio in Blackpool, I’m so glad I decided to go, never felt so welcome by not just the instructor Kirsty but by the whole group, Kirsty is full of energy which transfers onto you as you do your workout, I’m into my 3rd week and loving every session, lots of support given.
Hey Tricia, Fantastic to hear that you're loving the Zone sessions. Hopefully your review will inspire others who are apprehensive to get started. Thanks for the 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Good environment, never over busy. Doesn’t feel intimidating. People all friendly

Hey Doret, Great to hear you're enjoying the Zone45 bootcamp sessions and thanks for taking the time to post a review. Keep up the hard work :)
Fantastic experience: Really recommend this gym. I messaged this gym last month to enquire, Neil was helpful and there was zero pressure. I went in and met with Kirsty who was so friendly and immediately was put me at ease! I joined in with the class that evening and everyone was so lovely! The support and friendliness from everyone is something I’ve never experienced in any other gym! Kirsty is a fab instructor and I’m really enjoying the sessions.
Hey Natalie, Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to post a review. We all work hard to make the gym friendly and luckily have a great bunch of members. Keep on working hard :)

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a clean, practical and professional gym with a good mix of Cardio, weights and machines with a friendly clientele of all ages focused on fitness you have come to the right place. If on the other hand you want a place full of posing kids and steroid hungry goons then this is really not the place for you.

Negative experience: Worst gym I've ever seen.
Hi Abi, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Were obviously disappointed that you felt the need to give one start and would love to understand why. As you haven't been a member of the club it would be helpful if you could let us know if and when you have been in to the club for a trial and what it was that you didn't like. You can send feedback to [email protected]. Thanks Neil

Hi Amey, thank you for the 5 stars and review. Great to hear your enjoying your training at Helio.
Fantastic experience: No frills but great gym. Awesome staff.
Hey Lee, thanks for taking the time to post a review and the 5 stars. Great having you training with us
Positive experience: Very basic, small, very old equipment and not very clean, especially compared to other gyms like The Gym and The Village which are very new looking and modern. However, it is cheap and not busy in that you can always get a machine. I went in the evening on a weekday and there was hardly anyone there, so if you disdain crowded gyms it's a good choice. Also, no contract which is handy and the staff are polite. However, I noticed the cardio machines are rickety and shaky, in particular the cross trainers which seem to shake wobble and jerk a lot which bothered me, but they serve their purpose as an exercise machine.
Hi Lava, Thanks for taking the time to review Helio. We take on board all feedback and we will look to improve areas we can.
Fantastic experience: Going for over 8 years. Staff are great and offer various keep fit plans
Hi Patricia, thanks for the 5 star review and your loyalty over the years. Great to have you training with us.
Positive experience: Recent one star was an error. Good from the point of view of never too busy. As mentioned previously equipment should be wiped down regularly especially the blue crash mats which smell stale. Again mentioned a few times the Olympic bar upstairs requires collars which fit the bar properly. There was a shortage of coins for the lockers the last four or five times I visited. Staff could offer more regular guidance to customers who seem 'lost' as to useing the equipment properly.
Hi Stephen, thanks for taking the time to review. It’s always disappointing to only get 1 star specifically with no comment. It would be appreciated if you could give the reasons for 1 star as we strive to offer good service and facilities. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Hey Lee, Thanks for the 5 stars. Great to have you training with us.
Positive experience: A good, clean gym with friendly staff. Doesn't get too busy either which is good. Miss having a hack squat though as I can't squat or leg press & have to train elsewhere for leg day. Lots of cardio equipment upstairs and decent opening times.
Hi Steven, Thanks for the 4 star review. Great to have you training with us :)
Positive experience: Lovely gym but customer service was a bad
Positive experience: Needs smartening up now that The Gym Group has opened in town.
Hi Simon, Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to review. Have you been in to the club recently? as we are underway with a full refurbishment. The ground floor is complete and we will be starting on the 1st floor soon. Come back in and take a look. Thanks
Positive experience: Good for getting fit
Thanks for the review Mark!
Fantastic experience: Good gym
Thanks for the 5 stars John!
Fantastic experience: Cheap no frills excellent gym
Thanks for the 5 stars and taking the time to review Helio. We work hard to make good quality gym facilities available to everyone. Great to have you training with us. Thanks Neil
Positive experience: Decent sized on 2 floors, well maintained and clean, up to date with classes. Personal training, website with timetable. Good location and usually quite a bit of room on car park during the day. Good price, monthly payment.
