McCaulay's Health Club & Ivybridge Golf Club: Opinions

4.3/5 (88 Opinions)
Steve Dickens 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Now completely refurbished with grade A equipment. On a par with anything around and better than most. Pool, golf, sauna and classes. Friendly, helpful staff. It's a way of life.

James Willcocks 10 months ago

Positive experience: The gym equipment, although old, is still very functional. The pool is very nice with lanes for swimming however it would be nice if the timetable was more accessible and mentioned when they have a section used for swimming lessons. Currently on the timetable it will say the pool is completely open for free swim even though there will be a section you can't use while people are learning. My biggest complaint is that the main gym has no form of air conditioning or cooling! They used to have two old dusty fans in two corners but now there is just one old dusty fan. They also used to leave the back door open during summer to let some air in but they've stopped doing that.

Steve Body 1 year ago

Positive experience: Played golf, a 9 hole course. It's quite challenging, 5 x 3 pars & 4 x par 4's. Some tricky holes, not too busy, so good for a quick round. Very reasonable pricing, very friendly reception.

AQP32 4 1 year ago

Positive experience: Good gym Pool feels cold.

Neill Richardson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym. A good amount of investment recently. Looking forward to the upgraded sauna and steam. As always, it's the staff that make or break a facility like this. Refurbishment starting very soon of the gym. Devon, Reuben, David and Jake are always pleasant, fun and professional. Some great classes and group workouts. Recommended.

Sue Barry 1 year ago

James Cattell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a nice gym, with swimming and golf course. Staff always friendly and helpful

Ray Crockett 2 years ago

Positive experience: Went predominantly to ask about the golf. The reception staff were lethargic and didn’t really sell the facility. Have left this as 4 star to be fair to the centre as I hadn’t seen all of the facilities

Nicola Lakeman 2 years ago

Negative experience: Had a free taster session to see what was on offer. I only swim, so didn't check out gym facilities. Changing rooms were lovely, pool is nice. The only issue, which was a deal breaker for me, was the extraction for the male changing is into the pool area. All you can smell and taste is men's deodorant, which is so bad that it makes breathing hard, and I don't have asthma. There's limited, if no, ventilation in the pool area.

Chris 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean facilities and friendly staff. Good range of free weights and cardio machines.

Bogdan Draniceru 2 years ago

Positive experience: I'm attending this gym for 5 years now. I like the place. Staff members are very friendly and helpful. I'm not happy with the swimming pool classes (are always on the most inconvinient time) and when something break down (steam sauna, the shower next door to the sauna) take months or years to be fixed!

Tusya Apostol 2 years ago

Denise James 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Will be joining this health club in the next day or two, went to have a look around what a joy to have a friendly person who gave me a tour and advice on classes etc. It has excellent facilities very clean. Can't wait

Paul Griffiths 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined today super clean, friendly staff 9 hole golf course included in the price of your gym membership.

Becky Gilling 2 years ago

Negative experience: Been a member here for around 6 months, it was pretty good at first but I just can't handle how gross and dirty the woman's changing rooms always are now. A sea of hair, water and dirt all over the floor whatever time/ day of the week I seem to go it's always rank in there! I don't even have huge standards for cleanliness but this is next level. Tried to go to the gym today, waited 15 mins and every treadmill was taken so I gave up. The shower next to the sauna has been broken since before I joined and the steam room which broke shortly after is still out of order. Seems like whoever owns it isn't willing to put any money into the upkeep of the place. Shame as it used to be good but it's gone downhill.

Fred 3 years ago

Negative experience: £13 for effectively a pitch and putt on the steepest slope is shocking. Edit: took my child to swim in an 'open session' 60-70% of the pool was closed for lanes and swim lessons. Won't catch me there again.

Frazer Mcbain 3 years ago

Gemma Male 4 years ago

Positive experience: Great facilities. Really enjoy the swimming, sauna and jacuzzi. My only fault is the lack.of air conditioning in the fitness suites. It gets way too hot in there and makes the classes much less enjoyable

KIM HOSKING 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A good local gym. Not cheap but always equipment available for use. Car park sometimes very busy because of the swim club that use the pool but usually can park easily.

adam hewish 4 years ago

Patrick Francis cunningham 4 years ago

Positive experience: I've not been there personally but my friends say its a fantastic place, so I'm going to join myself.

Owen Berry 5 years ago

Positive experience: I use the golf course not the gym. Price is fantastic £10 a month membership is awesome and for the course it's worth it. Not an open qyality course but still good quality. The rough will swallow your ball like a hungry demon so stick to the wide well kept fairways with plenty of naturally produced obstacles. Greens are ok and somewhat consistent but you will have to deal with novices who have not repaired dents. Its beautiful views are one to marvel at if your game is going bad. A recommend starter course.

Matt Akerman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very clean and organized. Kelsie was a massive help showing me around for the 1st time. Will definitely be joining this gym.

Dave Butson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great golf course

Jess 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely, large, spacious gym and pool. Had good communication with regular updates during covid. The only thing that I think could be improved on is some early morning gym classes before work that isnt spinning.. Maybe circuits? But overall it's a great gym and lovely staff :)

Ben Jordan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been a member for several years now and since re-opening post lockdown, you can really see the thought and planning gone into making it a safe place to workout. Hand sanitizing stations at the entrance, walkways and on the gym floor. They're everywhere! Countless bottles of disinfectant and tissue to wipe down equipment after use and well segregated areas to workout in safely. Everyone I have seen has been doing their part cleaning equipment, particularly the staff. Vast majority of people social distancing and respecting each others space. Needn't feel apprehensive returning! Thanks everyone

KR 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great yoga class here this morning. I really rate all the classes most especially ladies lifting which has literally changed my life.

andy briner 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visited with a mate whose a member. Played golf then used the gym and pool. Very reasonable day, friendly staff, very clean facilities. The golf course was a decent size for practising, friendly locals chatting around the course. The gym had everything you needed with good size changing rooms. The pool was a decent size and although was busy still had plenty of room to swim. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Only ever played the golf course behind. It's a favourite with me n my son. A lot trickier than you'd expect with some tight fairways, water and trees it will challenge all levels of golfer. The views are stunning too!

Hello Molly, we are very sorry to hear of this! Please may I ask which branch this occurred and if I could please contact you to discuss this further? We hope every new member’s joining process is nothing but smooth and efficient whether that be at reception or online so are very sorry to hear that you did not experience this. Kindest regards, Matt, General Manager Ivybridge.

Oliver Gilberthorpe 7 years ago

Positive experience: Pretty decent facilities but huge room for improvement, particularly with customer service. Myself and all others i've spoken to at the gym feel the same in that the staff aren't particularly interested and this seems to trickle down from management. There's seldom a staff member on the gym floor to offer assistance or advice should anyone need it. I expect a number of people will move to the Leisure Centre once they open their new gym but Dinnaton could be great if a little more effort and enthusiasm was put in.

We always ensure to employ staff who have a passion for the health and fitness industry and also staff who wish to pursue a life long career. I will of course speak with all the gym and reception staff and ensure that our customer service is nothing but helpful and enthusiastic. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I hope that you can continue to enjoy our facilities especially as we currently undergo a large refurbishment of the changing rooms and pool area.

Leslie Lake 8 years ago

Positive experience: Been member over 7 years. Gym is tired looking but going through modernisation as I type this. New ideas but equipment is old . There are new machines been added but still have old machines. Golf course is well maintained and a must for any folder who likes a challenge.

Hi Les, thank you for your review and thank you for your loyal custom for 7 years. We hope that you can agree with us in that the health club in the past 6 months has undergone a large refurbishment including the new spin and Pilates studio and the inclusion of new equipment in the lower gym as well as the complete replacement of all the machines in the cardio suite upstairs 18 months ago. We are currently refurbishing the changing rooms and have many exciting plans for the upcoming future. We hope you continue to enjoy our facilties and the golf course ☺️ Kindest regards, Matt general manager

Positive experience: Good facilities, lots of new equipment

bgt 8 years ago

Negative experience: Money interested gym with little competition. Tired swimming facilities, ok gym, but very expensive. They recently stopped all classes for a week, then shut the gym completely the following week, and offered members only a few guest passes as compensation for this - and only made those available for a very limited time too. Ask too late, and you got nothing. They should have refunded a week's membership at the very least - but they just don't care. Very sensitive to Facebook criticism - they're active in removing negative comments/reviews, and flooding it with positive "counter-reviews".

McCaulay's Health Club & Ivybridge Golf Club
McCaulay's Health Club & Ivybridge Golf Club

99.9999% of members are very proud of their newly refurbishment club and are absolutely loving the brand new car park, the new gym with state of the art Lifefitness gym equipment and the brand new lighting system. We agree it was frustrating that the car park had to close - but as it was ALL being dug up and new tarmac was being laid there was no safe option that the contractor could provide. With regards to compensation we thought 5 guest passes for the 5 days of closure was fair -dafed dew we are sorry you felt differently.
