The Gym Group Colchester: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Gym Group in Colchester Town since the pandemic - I started classes at this gym in 2021 and aside from the facilities and wide variety of equipment for the low membership price, the best thing about this gym is Dave Read! He runs some excellent classes, always motivates and encourages you to do more. I've been training with Dave a long time now and did the past year as a Personal Trainer. His hours are flexible and he won't give up on you! He does great strength training, boxing and can tailor the plan to fit your training needs. He's been a very supportive and friendly face at the gym over the last few years, and my fitness has greatly improved over the time that I've regularly trained with Dave. I would highly recommend Dave to be your PT!
Negative experience: I had a problem with another gym member trying to provoke me, and immediately told the management. They had advised that this had happened to a number of people but for some reason they were not able to do anything about it "at the moment". I have cancelled my membership and they have refused to give me a refund despite the unsafe atmosphere at the gym. I do not recommend this gym. It is unsafe and the managers do not care at all about their customers.
We thank you for the time you have taken in reviewing us, and value your feedback. We'll ensure that the team at The Gym Group Colchester is made aware of your thoughts.
Positive experience: Good gym at a reasonable price. Equipment seems to be well maintained. Lockers are a bit tired with a number broken. Yet to join any classes but planning to try them out.
Fantastic experience: The best gym uk with best equipment
Positive experience: Great gym. Wish it was bigger. The washroom in the changing rooms smell sometimes.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. Understanding our members experiences are very important to us and our continued effort to deliver the best for our members. We thank you for the time you have taken in reviewing us, and value your feedback in helping us to deliver a better service.
Fantastic experience: Top Gym Best In Colchester. Biscuit
Fantastic experience: Good gym !
Negative experience: Recently rejoined this gym, it is very unhygienic, no cleaning facilities to wipe down the machines after use. Just sit in everyone's sweat. I have just picked up a horrible germ / virus and been sick for over a week, I feel I caught it from here! The lady's changing room has a awful sewage smell coming from the toilets, I have only ever used the toilet once and there was evidence someone had wiped there nose on the wall. I rejoined this gym as it is in a good location for me to visit after work and on my journey home. But I am seriously thinking of cancelling and going somewhere cleaner.
Hi, hope you are well. Robust cleaning regimes are still in place and we continue to pump in 100% fresh air ventilation, day and night, we clean on a daily basis, including cleaning of all equipment and gym facilities with anti-viral products. We encourage members to bring in a sweat towel to use after they have used a piece of equipment. Having cleaning stations has resulted in a significant increase in the amount of paper waster and we are focussed on minimising our waste as part of our commitment to Net-Zero. We are proud to be the very first Carbon Neutral Gym Chain in the UK. This is just a part of our efforts, for example we are also taking steps to reduce the amount of single use plastics in our vending machines.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing
Fantastic experience: Always clean
Negative experience: Small and compact some equipment getting dated. Do not like the pods for entry into the gym
Hi there, thank you for your feedback.
Negative experience: DISGUSTING- They removed all cleaning chemicals and blue roll. There are plenty of gyms in Colchester, so why should I risk a bacterial infection here? The gym has never been clean but this is a new low. After several years of membership, I am cancelling.

Fantastic experience: I started coming back after a long break from exercising and decided to book a small group session to ease myself back into it. I was very lucky to get the awesome Corbyn as my coach that day and have been feeling confident to come back every since. I've even booked PT sessions with him to keep the motivation train going!

Fantastic experience: Had a good experience at Colchester gym group ..highly recommended..Pts are so good
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to The Gym sporadically over the course of 5 years or so and I have always found it to be such good value for money; open 24 hours a day, a variety of classes available at different times of the day, the staff are lovely, friendly and always willing to help! The facilities are also really good! A range of different equipment and plenty of space, I often use the showers at the gym and I find the venue from the equipment to the locker rooms to be very clean and well air conditioned. Would definitely recommend! The staff are very welcoming and if they're not working with individuals on a fitness regime they're often cleaning and sanitising the equipment. A great experience overall :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym, got everything youd need to lose weight or gain muscle, but for a fair price. (unlike those other scummy gyms, looking at you david lloyds)
Positive experience: Very good gym. Friendly and helpful staff/people. Loads of machine choices

Fantastic experience: I am absolutely blown away by the gym group and the amazing classes they offer. In particular, Matt and Chloe's classes have been a game changer for my fitness journey. Their energy and enthusiasm are contagious, making each workout a fun and challenging experience. Not only have I seen incredible results since joining, but I also look forward to every class with them. Thank you, Matt and Chloe, for pushing me to be my best self and making the gym a place I love to be. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive and motivating environment to reach their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Had a great class with Matt at Colchester gym
Fantastic experience: Best. Gym. Ever.
Fantastic experience: Great gym love the atmosphere Marty is an amazing personal trainer get the results you want with him
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Fantastic experience: I'm a new member at this gym. I wish I did knew about them sooner, I just love it. Very affordable. I love the classes and locker room for the ladies. So far my favourite classes are flexibility conditioning and strength by Matthew. I love the boxing and strength exercises plus and he got me to touch my toes in a day, something I couldn't do in 10 years after being hospitalized so many times, also I always get a good laugh and still burn off some steam, a good stress relief. Michele, this woman is a beast, I love her. She knows how to push and get you to the finish line , I'm always soak with sweat after her 2 classes or sometimes just one for me. Dave I think this man works in the military but with a smile but yet you cant help but love his techniques and push yourself. I can't wait to try others classes but currently now I'm just a peak season member for now.
Fantastic experience: MICHELE IS amazing!!!!! Very effective!!!!! Classes are great. Good training. Motivational.

Positive experience: Really need to fix the floors where the 3 squat racks are you have 0 stability due to how wobbly the floor is just an injury waiting to happen

Positive experience: Would be higher if the equipment weren't literally rusting. The staff all seem like reasonably nice people even if most of them don't do an awful lot but I suppose there are only so many times you can rerack a weight. Decent enough atmosphere and the gym is usable but MATE, slim down the cardio area that barely anyone uses, get some more cable machines and actual resistance gear in that will see some use and get some new machines in. Also the fact DBs only go up to like 34 kgs is a bit dumb.
Hi there! Thank you for your review. Our team works with our suppliers to ensure all the equipment is safe to use and in the best conditions. We recognise that sometimes it can take a little longer due to various factors, but rest assured that we are working hard with our suppliers to have all the equipment fully working as soon as possible. Thank you again for your review. We will use this to further improve the experience in our gyms.
Positive experience: People are friendly, the gym is never usually over crowded meaning access to machines is decent compared to other gyms, equipment is pretty good and arranged well. Occasionally you get groups of kids mucking about but again Depends on time you go and this happens anywhere I suppose missed out on a star down to machines breaking and taking a while to fix, No enforcement of the rules from people who work there which is frustrating and needs a good clean is the only other point but overall it’s a decent 24hr gym for a decent price.

Negative experience: I joined for a month, along with my two teenage boys in December 2022 whilst in town visiting from overseas. Since then I have been unable to stop the monthly deductions from my account. Several attempts contacting by email result in me having to provide information we no longer have (pin access numbers etc). Now we've paid 6 months memberships x 3 and the bank have had to cancel my C/C and issue a new one as the only method of ceasing the payments. Gym itself was OK and equipment was fine- toilets were filthy.
Hi, hope you are well. Sorry to hear this. Please send us an email in to [email protected] so we can assist. Thanks
Positive experience: Amazing place with a variety of equipment. Great price and really good for new gym goers. Such friendly staff who are always willing to help.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Amazing... Very beginner friendly, cheap and helpful... Would like more staff present but it's not a big deal as everything is clear

Positive experience: Standard gym but about what you’d expect for the price. Good amount of equipment & classes available, just needs better maintaining. The PT’s are definitely the most redeeming quality about the gym. Corbin is an excellent instructor he’s professional but approachable, he makes the classes fun and motivating. I’ve noticed a big difference in my attitude towards exercising & overall fitness in the short time working with Corbin.
