Fitness First

Fantastic experience: Fitness First Basingstoke is a great gym it has all the latest equipment and is very clean with a good atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming especially Will and George .I always look forward to my workouts there and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Great gym , good free weights range upstairs, friendly and supportive staff , even from the PTs who are happy to answer any questions and guide you without booking in an hourly session with them. There is also a good array of Machines to use down stairs and some new hi tech equipment just added. And the fees are fair (just about)

Fantastic experience: George and Claire and Luke are the best

Fantastic experience: Love FF Basingstoke, friendly community well run gym, and love the commitment from Gwen and the team’s smiling faces especially mister happy George , thanks for looking after us all

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always approachable and ready to assist with anything. I’m also really impressed by the gym equipment – it’s clear they keep everything up to date to provide the best experience. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Basingstoke & the staff are great very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Love it! Classes good, friendly staff always wanting to help and friendly environment! Happy to be a member!

Fantastic experience: Friendliest staff, great gym

Fantastic experience: Great club!! Defo recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club

Positive experience: As a new member to the gym I am very impressed with some of the staff. The gym is nicely equipped with various training equipment and free weights. Verity of classes available. Can get busy after 1730ish. I am disappointed is the cleanliness area, there are cleaning wipes available, but most people don't clean after using equipment or weights. So it does eat into your gym time cleaning before and after your training. But overall not a bad gym

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! The staff are so friendly and the gym floor is always clean & tidy, the vibe is just great too. Not intimidating or cliquey in any way. Spin instructors are also incredible - all of them! I love the spa facilities too but reaaaally wish there was a plunge pool/ice bath to compliment the sauna. Other than that couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym, supportive staff. Good changing and shower facilities.

Fantastic experience: Decent facilities and helpful staff staff. Reasonable price

Fantastic experience: Been a member for many yrs now and still love the place. Staff are very friendly. Like one big family

Fantastic experience: I was visiting the area for a couple of days and, as a member of Milton Keynes FF, popped over to this gym for a couple of days. I must say I was totally impressed. The feel is much more modern and clean. Up to date cardio equipment. Well laid out gym structure. Fabulous. Will definitely visit here again when I'm in the area. Staff were great, too

Fantastic experience: My first day at Fitness First was fantastic! The gym's layout and floor plan are impressive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, contributing to the calm environment. Although I didn't get a chance to check out the swimming pool yet, I'm hoping it's equally impressive. The changing rooms were exceptionally clean, and I appreciated the thoughtful layout, including private corners for those seeking extra privacy.

Negative experience: RUBISH PLACE NO PLACE FOR TRAINING BEEN ONCE NOW I WANT TO CANCEL THEY DONT LET ME CANCEL I HAVE TO PAY THE REST OF THE MONEY

Positive experience: Good place and friendly staff. But I think it's too pricey for the quality of equipment in the building.

Fantastic experience: Good vibes for exercise, best equipment and the good value for money

Negative experience: Sudden change of opening hours. Gym now shuts at 9.30pm and not 10pm. Only found out when the lights and TV’s were being turned off. Big deal for me personally due to work commitments. Poor.

Positive experience: Previous comment removed. There's a few pieces of equipment which has been out order for a while. Spoke to the gym and this should be repaired within the month.

Fantastic experience: Przepyszna pizza Parmezzano pieczona w piecu opalanym drewnem. Warto spróbować.. Bardzo miła obsługa ❣️

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Great gym . Has everything needed to sculpt the body you want.. no matter what your fitness levels or what Shap you're in, there's no judging or body shaming here. The staff and personal trainers are all willing to help with any problems and queries you may have. A steam room sauna and aromatherapy rooms are great after a workout I highly recommend F,F,Basingstoke

Positive experience: Nice clean gym, not very busy. Minus 1star for the benches in the free weights area which are the worst ones i have encountered. Not comfy at all. Also minus 1 star because its missing a lot of adequate gym equipment, like a dip assisted machine, military press, etc.

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained gym Variety of equipments Recommend

Fantastic experience: Good place for working out, well equipped gym. Good changing rooms with modern fittings.

Fantastic experience: Very understanding staff! Im an Oap with multiple problems but they got me thru my 6 week challenge i do feel stronger

Fantastic experience: Staff are very helpful and friendly, the free personal training session helped me a lot.

Negative experience: I would avoid this gym like the plague. After joining as a student it’s been nothing but trouble to not only get this status but stay on it, a right bunch of clowns in the management chain. The gym staff are superb and can’t apologise enough for this companies ineptitude. I have to give them one star to submit this review!

Positive experience: It’s the current home of Chineham Park Running Club and has great facilities in a nice setting.

Fantastic experience: I recommend this gym! Especially the boot camp classes they being really helpful for my physical weight thanks to the trainers and staff very encouraging,friendly,helpful and professional. Am glad to have known and joined this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to. Staff are great, atmosphere is really chilled out. One thing I notice is how good the music is, not just the same dance music constantly like other gyms.

Fantastic experience: I love every single class at this gym , all the teachers are amazing, they motivate you every single minute, helping you to improve postures, how to use properly the equipment, always all are very happy. The gym is very clean, good shower, saunas, I recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: The staff at FF are fantastic. Good range of equipment and machines. Friendly atmosphere. The only things that need improvement are the water dispensers (horribly slow and water isn't that cold) and the mens locker rooms require you to use your own padlock...

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good quality equipment, not many "showy" people

Fantastic experience: Great gym, not very big but I’ve never had trouble getting on the machines I want. Very friendly and helpful staff too

Positive experience: Had a look around all the gyms in Basingstoke and this seemed to be the best, it does get busy at peak times. Really good classes, clean gym, staff are excellent and kit is good.

Fantastic experience: Signed up 2 weeks ago today. Staff are brilliant, everyone is genuinely friendly. Nobody is in a rush, and staff always take time to listen to you and explain things calmly and in good detail. They will say hi even if they're casually passing by, which makes you feel welcomed and part of the 'community' there. Shout out to all the trainers I've met so far: George & Harry (Xlift), Trish (BodyPump), Michelle (Reps), and Jill (SPARR). Very good schedules of classes from around 6:30am to 6-7pm. Spaces have always been available for every class I've wanted. There is a great amount of variety in classes too, from cycling, yoga, HIIT, to sparring and 'Trax' classes (sort of challenges). Equipment is clean, non-smelly, not worn, and the place generally feels very clean. Music is maintained well, never too loud or 'trashy'. The gym is generally very fresh, crisp and cool air, never smelly or damp. Incredibly, even the locker rooms and showers are not smelly or unreasonably damp, quite clean and fresh. The one thing that does bother me is semi-transparent shower doors (why?!). Thankfully showers are tucked away in a corner of the locker room. I am happy to have joined and would highly recommend the Basingstoke branch (have already referred a friend).

Fantastic experience: Great gym, all the equipment you need. Clean, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Love training here.

Fantastic experience: Been going here since the start of 2022 , very happy with the gym and all the staff ! it's hard to find a gym that you can feel 100% happy , this is the gym ️‍♂️ this is fitness first Very friendly staff always a welcome and a goodbye Well done guys and girls on running a top gym.

Fantastic experience: Only came here for the instavolt EV chargers located in the car park

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience.. wonderful gym assistants..

Negative experience: Way too busy, idiots just sat on their phones taking selfies when people are actually trying to work out. Gets my anxiety going and there's nowhere to go to simply let go and do your thing. Any time I want to use something for a workout, I have to wait a good 20 minutes. Waste of money and I'll be finding somewhere who cares about people working out rather than how many they can fit into the gym at one time.

Positive experience: Staff are friendly and lots of parking. Only one lat pull down machine and not 24hr. Otherwise great gym and would recommend to all that live nearby.

Negative experience: In from Australia. Brought the International Passport. Yes I know, UK is now a separate company (and didn't change its name), but it's always up to managers' discretion to let you in. Most international clubs let in Brits. This manager quoted regulations and said no... I'd have to pay £15 to go once.

Fantastic experience: My friend inspired me and I am sooo happy I decided to join this gym. The trainers are very kind, helpful, friendly and are always happy to help. I am also pleased with the facilities available.

Fantastic experience: Having tried a couple of gym's around Basingstoke this has to be the best! Attending back in January I was so nervous and would only sit at a back of a spin class in the dark! Now because the friendliness of the staff and the constant motivation I love taking part in so much more. From the moment of walking in to the gym you are welcomed by the staff taking an interest in the day you've had. A big shout out to George and Tori for the first Friday evening Xlift class back in February which put me out my comfort zone! Thank you all for being so amazing!

Positive experience: Recently joined this gym. Loving the classes, instructors are friendly and welcoming. Nice they have steam room etc too. Shame there is no cafe.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities. Lots of machines, plenty of free weights. I can highly recommend the 1-1 sessions.

Fantastic experience: I've been to most gyms around the area, and without a doubt, fitness first has the most friendliest, approachable staff out of any of them. As soon as I walk in, I'm made to feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this gym. A lot of equipment, everything is very clean and the staff is very friendly. They also have sauna rooms and a lot of different classes that you can attend for free when you get a membership.

Fantastic experience: Having joined and been with Fitness First Basingstoke for many months now I can only state that this is probably the best gym I have ever had the pleasure of training at.... This is purely and simply down to one factor. The staff. Facilities aside, which are great and perfect for my needs, it's the staff that make this gym. Every single one of them, with no exception make me feel so welcome, go above and beyond when it comes to supporting my training and will always help out and make my time there the best and most effective it can be. It could be the case that I would come, use the equipment and train independently and have no idea what I'm doing. This could be the case. But the staff and PT's, George, Alex, Holly, Gwen to name but a few are amazing. A big mention has to be made to Vaughan and Rob who have made my journey so much better (harder, but better! ) All lead by the lovely Tori. I can only recommend that you pop down, have a look and meet these guys for yourself. Even when they are training themselves, each one of them will always smile and support you if needed. I absolutely love it there. There are regular events to participate in and classes to get involved in, no matter what your level.

Fantastic experience: It's a great gym to train in. It's well equipped and staff are always there to help.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment , great atmosphere. Brilliant place to work out. Simples

Fantastic experience: A great gym with lots of equipment, a good choice and variety of classes available at good times. Staff are always welcoming and it’s always clean. A great place to train with a happy atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train in, lots of space and the most friendly staff I have ever met

Positive experience: The gym is open 24/7, but it is very small compared to other gyms in the area. It can also get very busy, so sometimes you will have to wait to use certain equipments.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere. Definitely, a good value for money.

Fantastic experience: It’s just a fun place to be in, both staff and members interact help and support each other.

Fantastic experience: Friendly bunch!

Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly service.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, adapted well to Covid-19. Good cleaning procedures and processes. Friendly staff. Shame about the odd one or two moronic patrons who slam their weights needlessly/don't clean up after themselves.

Fantastic experience: I started coming here in jan 2020 and I’m glad to say I now no longer look at my body and feel shame I look and think god you look good. I’m not toned, I’m not muscular...... I’m happy and I don’t think I could have done it without Basingstoke FF

Fantastic experience: Really helpful service provided at the front desk!

Positive experience: Good one Better equipment Little bit crowded

Fantastic experience: Since reopening the welcome back as expected has been brilliant. The staff equally as the members seem so happy to be back, the gym is very well maintained in terms of cleanlieness and spacing out workstations both in classes and on the gym floor. Being back training at the gym has had a really positive impact on my motivation above all and this has all been faciliatated well here. Fitness first Basingstoke's staff are excellent at communicating every timetable change, release of new classes and extended opening hours.

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed coming back to the gym. Contactless remains for signing in, sanitisers by the door. The staff take your temperature when you arrive. There are stickers on the floor to create a one way system. I've been doing the spinning classes, the bikes are clean and spread out. We wipe the bikes down and leave a row at a time. All feels safe to me! Stuart and Chris spin classes are fun and a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Gym feels safe and clean since re-opening during the pandemic. Never too over crowded and there are always staff members going round deep cleaning equipment.

Fantastic experience: Really good gym, went there for the free three day pass. Good equipment, friendly environment and spacious changing rooms.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, the combat class instructor sofie was brilliant, very knowledgeable and approachable if it wasn't so far away this would be my gym of choice.

Positive experience: Fairly small gym, always busy during peak hours. Not enough equipment for the number of members.

Fantastic experience: Prijatno osoblje lepa teretana dosta sprava sauna ok je

Positive experience: Quality gym conveniently on the business park

Fantastic experience: Good gym. Discount for people working on the business park.

Positive experience: Great open plan gym with lots of machines! What’s nice about this gym is usually the freestyle floor area in a gym is where they’ve compromised on space and so is relatively small or is what you walk through to get to another section of the gym, however this gym has not compromised with the space at all; the freestyle floor is a substantial size one of the biggest I’ve seen and perhaps most importantly is not a through-path! The 4 instead of 5 is because the wellness area is practically right next to the main gym floor and so you can still hear and sometimes see people working out through the translucent glass panel in the door.

Positive experience: Good, clean and not too busy

Positive experience: Great equipment caters for everyone

Positive experience: Love this gym, all staff are amazing and the classes are great! Gym equipment is good got a variety of all equipment and weights. Pretty cheap for a monthly membership.

Fantastic experience: Good facilities and friendly helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Energy, hard work, dreams come true.....

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for a great workout

Positive experience: All the staff are really great, equipment is comprehensive. Only issue is that some equipment is broken for a long time before getting fixed

Positive experience: No squat rack? Why?

Negative experience: Pretty good gym apart from.the mens toilets. You probably would need a tetanus jab upon leaving as it's putrid.

Fantastic experience: Classes are awesome

Fantastic experience: The gym is very open with lots of kit. Best variety I have seen. Great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with lots of free weights and plenty of cardio machines.

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Classes are good and 're included in the gym membership. Sauna & steam too can't complain for the price!! All thumbs up but maybe change the opening time for a little late like 23:00hrs

Positive experience: It's ok

Fantastic experience: Top gym.

Fantastic experience: Recently had a 3 day trial with this Gym, after the second day I signed up. High quality equipment, excellent gym staff. Would definitely recommend.

Positive experience: Awesome Gym

Fantastic experience: Gym of high standards, very clean, fantastic classes that are different every time and big variety of machines. Really nice staff.

Positive experience: Not the best DW/fitness first gym, however has everything you need. Could just do with a bit of updating and falls down due to the lack of a pool. The aromatherapy room is a big plus though.

Positive experience: Nice gymn

Positive experience: Missing a pool after sauna other than that all right

Fantastic experience: Good gym. The fitness instructors and other staff are very helpful, polite, professional, and very competent. The equipment is in very good order, very clean, and issues are taken care of very quickly. The atmosphere is good so you can get on with what you need to do, or you can relax and take it easy. There's no macho nonsense with sweaty blokes being idiots. It feels good there. Completely happy.

Negative experience: Not a great gym if you have or suffer from headaches! Music is always loud and when you ask some memebers of staff to turn it down they decline. I was told to move to a different piece of equipment when I asked a gentlemen to turn it down because the bike I wanted to use was under 4 speakers and couldn’t even hear my own headphones! Baring in mind it was late on a Sunday so not even a peak time! Equipment is good but the noise is unbearable and therefore, going to look for a new gym. A few people at the gym are having the same issues.
