BLOK Manchester

Fantastic experience: Staffs and instructors are very friendly

Fantastic experience: Unmatched service by Liam Cullen and Herin and Annabelle! They all make my Saturday morning. Liam’s boxing is amazing and the shakes post workout are phenomenal. The class and the shakes are great but the people are phenomenal - esp the 3 mentioned above. Highly recommend!!

Negative experience: Do not do a free trail here. It is impossible to cancel it. I've tried so many times to in branch and online, and I keep getting charged.

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for a few months now. Staff are so friendly. Classes are brilliant, particularly the reformer pilates. Changing rooms are always clean and lovely. Highly recommend. I love it here.

Fantastic experience: I came here for the first time for a reformer pilates class and loved it. The staff are so warm and friendly and the studio is lovely. I highly recommend the class I did too.

Fantastic experience: Love the place. It has friendly staff, the instructors are great, and I love the diversity of the classes. They have something for everybody! I’ve also met so many nice people from attending classes. Definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I went to Blok for the first time today after contemplating for a while and I wish I would have gone sooner! As soon as I walked into I was greeted by the most stunning facilities and an amazing employee called Annabelle who made me feel really at ease, gave me a tour and provided me tips on the class and what shake I should think about getting. If you’re nervous about going for your first time just know that the staff are great and very friendly (especially Annabelle ofc). I did my session with Holly in Barre and I loved how challenging but low intensity the workout was. She also had a killer playlist which always helps :)

Fantastic experience: Blok is an amazing studio with a great variety of classes like Pilates, yoga, weightlifting and more. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the facilities are top-notch. I highly recommend taking a Reformer Pilates class with Bernadette—she’s an incredible trainer who really focuses on making sure you have the right technique, takes the time to correct every person individually, and has a super positive and fun vibe! After a class with Bernadette I always feel that I did a very good work out, I would like to see her more at the classes, she is definitely one of the best at this studio!!

Fantastic experience: The best of the best!!! I’ve been to many gyms across Manchester and BLOK comes out on top, every time. A gorgeous studio, amazing classes and the best of the best instructors.

Fantastic experience: Everything is amazing!!!! Best place for classes in Manchester!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever been to. I have found all of the girls on reception to be incredibly friendly and helpful and the gym instructors be both knowledgeable and interactive. I was given a code to use for a discount for classes and when it didn't work, I was sent a brand new discount from the office in London as a good will gesture without even asking. Could not recommend these guys highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Blok for over a year now and have the best experience each time. All instructors and receptionists are always welcoming and friendly!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Blok now for a year and they are some of the best classes I've ever done with really passionate and friendly staff and instructors. I always feel welcomed there, the facilities are gorgeous and clean, and the staff really go the extra mile to give you a good experience!

Fantastic experience: I used to use the local chain branded gym but felt the classes to short and / or the people attending just wanted to look beautiful for all to see. I've found that Blok is way more positive and inclusive than anything you can find on the high street. A fancy pants gym membership was something I'd never thought I'd even think about... But... I wholeheartedly say that if you want to invest in yourself this is the place to do it! The staff are adorable, the instructors are kind, calm and inclusive, the facilities are clean, well cared for and high end... And the other people in the class are just like you! Give it a try!!

Negative experience: Signed up to an introduction class pack offering 10 classes for £25 but then tried to take £75 out of my account without disclaiming that it would???

Fantastic experience: The most delightful gym I’ve ever been to. The staff are the most pleasant and lovely kind people. The classes are excellent and it’s always so clean. Would recommend to anyone to try and see how much better starting your day with Blok is.

Negative experience: The front desk staff were really lovely and helpful, the space was gorgeous and felt clean and well looked after. However the class didn't feel suitable for beginners, the instructor seemed to focus more on people who they already knew and left newcomers to their own devices. Myself and the woman I paired up with weren't greeted (where people the instructor already seemed to know were chatted to and greeted) or shown where equipment was. It seemed like if you'd been a few times the class could be quite fun as there was a lot of being left to your own devices where you could focus on what you liked and have free play, but if you were new that wasn't helpful as you needed more assistance which you didn't get - ie not being told what bands to use. Thankfully the woman I paired up with was also new otherwise I would have felt a bit ostracised. The class has potential but didn't feel super welcoming/ inclusive to beginners.

Negative experience: First time I went I was 'late' the apps said the class started at 10:10am but the receptionist told me it was actually at 10am. So they gave me my credits back ans had to schedule another class. Then the class was really crowded and I could barely see the instructor with the pillars and boxing bags. I have now booked a second lesson but realised I cannot make. I would like to cancel it (still like 3 days in advance) and there is no button on the app to cancel my booking. No phone to call... am I going to have to go there in person to cancel a booking

Negative experience: Went for a vinyasa class which was good, then booked my second class here which was yin Yang yoga. Nothing wrong with the actual class or instructor but this time I wasn’t happy with the set up. The class before us finished late and settling into the room for my class was rushed. The mats in this class were spaced way too closely together and when I tried to move to a mat with more space around it, I found the mat dirty, full of animal hairs and dust which gave me allergies. During the class another class-attender ended up touching my feet (unintentionally) as the mats were spaced so close together, despite me being on my own mat the entire time. I couldn’t see the instructor fully because of the pillar in the middle of the room. It feels like they’re trying to jam as many people into a class as possible and it’s a shame as it decreased my enjoyment of the class.

Negative experience: Turned up for a class i had booked via the classpass app. Unfortunately i was 10 minutes late to the class, the guy at reception offered me a free class which is great. But then stung me with a no show fee. If your train is delayed and you’ve made effort to show up you should not be charged with additional fee. I will be making complaint directly to classpass.

Fantastic experience: Staff at the front desk are really lovely and helpful! Good range of classes with great instructors

Fantastic experience: Today my friend and I visited this place for the first time! Anabel at the reception is a very nice girl, she greeted us very friendly, informed us very well, thank you very much for that! The place itself is great! Barre with Holly was amazing!

Fantastic experience: All the classes I’ve done have been excellent, the atmosphere and ambience are lovely and the staff is very friendly! Highly recommend.

Negative experience: Staff are great but customer support online are terrible, they’re very good at typing but not addressing an issue and ultimately it’s a one way ticket. There’s better studios on balances

Fantastic experience: Really amazing place here. Enjoy all of my lessons like Boxing，Boxcon，Barre， and yoga. Sports not only helpful for my body but also helpful for my mental health. Its such great time to enjoy the lesson time especially with Liam，Chris，and Leo. Will definitely insist having lessons here.

Fantastic experience: Booked a class here using ClassPass on a Friday morning while I was in Manchester for work. Phenomenal! Feeling great, great informative instructor, and the class was extremely well structured.

Fantastic experience: Blok is a really cool gym in the heart of Manchester. All the staff are so friendly, particularly Harry on the front desk. Love the range of classes on offer & all the instructors are a credit to the gym, which is the main reason I am such a regular. The person teaching the class has the ability to make you feel invigorated, fab and sweaty. That’s exactly what blok has to offer and my frequency is a testament to that very fact. Special shout out to Laura Barry who runs the most amazing barre & Pilates classes. Laura has the most chilled aura and I always leave her classes feeling lighter & happier. Dominique is also fantastic, as is Georgina, all massively talented in the areas of expertise. If you are a local or a visitor, Blok is a must do.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined Blok Manchester and I absolutley love it. The front of house staff are amazing and so friendly. They make you feel really welcome. The instructors are great and also help you to feel welcome. They are highly skilled and deliver such enjoyable classes.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Blok for a few months! The facilities are slick and stylish, but more importantly the instructors are ace. Liam’s boxing class and Leo’s Breathwork are my favourites. Liam makes the classes fun, intense and he has perfect technique to show you. Leo’s breathwork class has quite literally been mind-blowing for me his warm and welcoming nature accompanied with sublime music selection allows you to fully relax into another space

Fantastic experience: Located close to Piccadilly train station, close to city center, amazing class, and amenities

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Brilliant teachers on many different kinds of exercise, brilliant facilities and friendly front desk. Lookers and changing rooms are really good too. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Team are super friendly and welcoming. The trainers - engaged and knowledgeable. The studio is put together beautifully. Changing rooms kitted out with all you need.

Negative experience: Zero star for their useless annoying bureaucracy! I booked a class through ClassPass and they refused to serve me because I didn't want to fill their form and share my personal information with them.

Fantastic experience: Great instructions and great exercise

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience and enjoyed my yoga practices so much here at BLOK. I attended Power Yoga, Vinyasa and Dharma Yoga classes with Leo and Gavin. They are very professional and supportive. The admin team is always smiling and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Best classes and staff around! Love blok!

Fantastic experience: I write this review in honour of J. She's always coool and awesome. She deserves a £10K leaving bonus and a life supply of drinking water *glug glug* Frankie is awesomeeeeee as always, swiftly sorting out my queries and bringing joy to the world. She deserves a life supply of skittles and a pot of bitcoins Classes are amazing. Instructors are amazing. This place is practically my church. Come come come. I'll most likely see you in handstands or yoga, upside-down

Fantastic experience: Did a callisthenics class. Everyone was super friendly and professional, the facilities were very clean, I loved the aesthetic and also the was great. Challenging and rather rewarding too.

Fantastic experience: BLOK is my favourite place for callisthenics (especially @flindersfitness classes) and yoga in Manchester. Modern facilities, friendly staff, and a wide range of classes to push what my body can do. If you’re looking for a challenge or something new, you should definitely give here a try.

Fantastic experience: BLOK has been a blessing to the Gym scene in Manchester. It’s not your traditional gym, it’s a space where you come to find your movement and explore the many ways to strengthen and have fun with the body. It’s given so many of us a community and new skills. Don’t be put off by it’s perfect appearance - the trainers will give you all the confidence needed to reach goals whilst fellow members cheer each other on. So grateful to have this place in my life!

Fantastic experience: Absolute favourite studio to train at! Amazing space and an incredible team of coaches. I recommend Blok to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors and classes!!

Fantastic experience: Specialist classes with talent trainers. Amazing Yoga all different but amazing... Liddy, Leo, Rose, Alex. Good energy Boxing & Fitness, Tomas, Liam & Lucia.

Fantastic experience: I love it here. Its very pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. The trainers are super skilled and very attentive in improving your techniques, so you gain maximum benefit. My yoga has improved a lot just after a few classes. I'm hooked!

Positive experience: Nice space, great offer.

Positive experience: I really love coming to the classes here! The instructors are nice, the facilities are spotless and they have thought of so many little nice touches in the changing rooms etc. I do find it a little too pricy though, so I only come every now and then.

Positive experience: Brilliant facilities and brilliant classes. The studios all feel state of the art and always have this really pleasant smell (not something I had ever considered important before... but it's honestly really nice and something that I've grown to appreciate!) Good diversity of classes and all the instructors I have met so far are all super friendly and come across as experts in their field. Given the facilities and the vibe, it's priced at the premium end of what's available.

Fantastic experience: I love BLOK content and ethics. Excellent coaches and classes, I feel so good after doing their variation of classes according to my fitness and wellbeing goals. BLOCK TV has keep me well during the past weeks of the lockdown, I feel part of a community and welcome. Highly recommended ❤

Fantastic experience: Fav gym I have ever been too! Wonderful classes and instructors.

Fantastic experience: One of the best studio gym in Manchester, all the instructors know what they are doing and they help you to reach your potential. The whole gym is Amazing and front desk staff are really helpful.

Fantastic experience: Fab gym setting. Very trendy lots of great facilities. Very popular too

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous gorgeous studios!

Positive experience: Located in a converted warehouse close to the train station. BLOK has really good range of classes and the team are super friendly. Locker rooms have a big lighted mirror with hair dryers, straighteners and some products like dry shampoo etc. I would highly recommend but this is on the high end of luxury workout scene so is pricey.

Positive experience: Very interesting classes. Really enjoyable place. The only cons is the price.
