GymWorks Preston

Fantastic experience: New Gym Secured. Just moved house and needed a new gym. Found this as my closest that is open 24hrs (5days). Its plenty big enough. Reasonably quiet, and is clean. Equipment is modern and all works! Free and plentiful parking on site too.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Such a family feel friendly environment! All staff and PT’s approachable, plenty of kit, biggest free weights area in Preston, big class timetable!

Fantastic experience: Very good!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, all the right equipment (modern and clean), great atmosphere, helpful staff, excellent trainers, affordable and competitive fees, good vibes always. Lighting is a bit too subdued - daylight is a motivational factor - but that's just me.

Fantastic experience: I'm a member at this gym and what can I say it's everything you need in a gym especially free weights area, the lad who does nights always go above and beyond with their great customer relations!

Fantastic experience: Excellent premises, good clean equipment, great people.

Fantastic experience: Happy with this gym, everyone keeps to theirself, people are friendly, staff help if people need any help

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a wide range of equipment to suit your workout requirements. Amazing and helpful staff on site that are always on hand if you need them

Fantastic experience: rly nice gym and and great quality and selection of equipment 5/5

Negative experience: Incredibly rude staff. I called them up after requesting a day pass as the website doesn’t specify before applying for it that you need to do it 24 hours in advance. I had arranged for childcare on the day I wanted to go but they called me up and told me that is not possible before 24 hours. Before I could ask any more questions, they cut the line. I think there are way better gyms out there with much better customer service.

Positive experience: It's one of the best gym in Preston, Lancashire County.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym with good equipment and helpful staff. Although I haven’t used them the free classes and PTs are very convenient.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, which has a full range of weights and fitness equipment. Super-helpful staff always on hand. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: A spacious gym with great equipment. Issac was very welcoming and provided us with a sufficient amount of details. We're in!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really good equipment and facilities. The changing rooms are spacious and clean too. All the staff are really helpful and the classes I have attended are all really good and included in the price of the membership!

Positive experience: The lights makes it feeling a pub rather than a gym. After awhile you get used to it

Fantastic experience: Decent size with plenty of equipment. Usually can get on to free weights or cardio machines even at peak time

Positive experience: Showers could do with being less hot, but everything else

Negative experience: Horrible company. I didn’t have the money available in my account when they attempted to take payment of £19.99 and then receive two phone calls, one email and three text messages with in the next twenty four hours requesting payment. This is harassment! All for being in arrears for not even a day!

Negative experience: Made an enquiry in January. I am now bombarded with spam text messages. The number to text to unsubscribe doesn't work. Messaged directly to ask to be removed, this was ignored. I would never sign up to a gym this aggressive in its unwanted marketing.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and friendly atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Gymworks, Preston!! Super clean & hygienic environment to say the least! The staff were so friendly and helpful, will definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: If I could give this gym a 6 star review I would. Very helpful staff and a fab variety of equipment. I would like to highlight a lovely lady called Sam who was extremely polite and showed me around. Undoubtedly the best gym in Preston.

Fantastic experience: Sam stood out she was really nice in showing me round the gym explaining sone gym equipment to me as well

Fantastic experience: I came in for a taster session the other day and was assisted by a really lovely girl called Sam. She was really patient with me and happy to help. She's an asset to your company.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff , great gym experience

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment staff are really nice. Sam showed me around what a woman she is.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Great vibe. Lovely staff members there to help whenever you need it. Top quality kit and the classes are buzzing!

Negative experience: The gym gets worse and worse. It is constantly full of kids with zero self awareness or etiquette regarding not clogging up equipment while on their phones. Often a pair of girls will sit around chatting on a machine doing nothing for 25+ minutes. The place has become increasingly tatty and unkept. It is so busy almost all the time now that it's absolutely miserable to try and stick to any kind of programme. We are at late stage of the business model now where membership numbers are out or control and yet they STILL keep signing up more. Beginning of the end for a once fantastic gym.

Fantastic experience: Gym is clean, classes are amazing and the staff are so kind and friendly! 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym with plenty of equipment and always nice and clean. The staff are always very helpful and friendly

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best all round gym in Fulwood/Preston. Loads of classes, loads of machines and a massive weights area. Can’t fault

Fantastic experience: Amazing in general to be honest.

Positive experience: Good selection of equipment but too busy for me so I ended up cancelling membership and going elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best club in preston, friendliest staff and best atmosphere

Fantastic experience: I really like this gym.i have no complaints.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good atmosphere and still hoping for a sauna to be added lol.

Fantastic experience: This is the only gym I have ever stayed at. All the trainers at classes are really friendly, motivational and do great classes. There is a great range of equipment and everyone iv come across who also attends the gym has always been friendly. It can get very busy at around 5-7pm so I avoid the normal gym at these times if possible. The changing rooms are clean, prices are good.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the gym since 2019. It's a large gym with a great range of equipment and classes, which are all included in your membership with no extra costs. It's my therapy session, my stress release and I know I always come out feeling a better version of me.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, Full of great equipment and top staff!

Fantastic experience: Such a good atmosphere, huge variety of kit

Fantastic experience: As with GymWorks sister sites in Chorley and Skelmersdale the product is very strong. Long standing staff demonstrates their company values, and reflects in the upkeep and quality of the gym floor experience. Expansive collection of PreCore Kit, well maintained. Modern fitted changing rooms. Always re-investing in quality gym kit.

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very affordable

Fantastic experience: Staff friendly customer service is brilliant fantastic equipment well maintained and you can see they take health and safety very seriously, for the price, unbeatable gym

Negative experience: Way too busy, can't follow even a basic training program there because you can't get near a bench or equipment you need. Packed with kids on their phones. Will be leaving at the first opportunity

Fantastic experience: Quite busy but not all the time

Negative experience: Don't get trapped by their offer of freeze account. It deducted monthly and did not refund despite I never visited

Fantastic experience: Lovely and friendly gym

Negative experience: too busy, broken machines.. they seem to rearrange the machines frequently, which is really a flow killer and super annoying. there are not too many machines of each type either.. sometimes it's a fight to get onto a machine, super busy in the evenings. not happy.

Negative experience: Always too busy since being opened 24/7 too many kids messing around and very unhelpful & unfriendly staff. Management has gone down the drain.. if your serious ahout your training go elsewhere this gym is tedious, not the place to workout and needs shutting down. It's accident prone!!!

Negative experience: The equipment is getting worn out and dangerous, it is too busy and full of children hanging around in groups. The management are not friendly in this gym. If you are serious about a gym, go elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Huge gym varieties of machines and equipments. Definitely recommending to join here.

Fantastic experience: 1st time at this gym, everything looks clean, the equipment I used all worked & the staff are very friendly & helpful. Been a member for awhile now, still enjoying it

Positive experience: Great gym. The gym could be improved with 24/7 opening times on the weekends and 24hrs access to changing rooms.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for a no frills workout. No food bar, sauna or pool but great equipment, friendly staff, good spinning studio and big workout studio. Great value for money

Negative experience: I’ve been a member of this gym now for nearly a year. But I’ve got to say that over the last few months it’s got more and more full of kids just messing about. If you’re serious about your training its probably not the place for you, especially in the weights department. Another problem is that people just sit on machines for ages, sometimes 30 minutes the staff don’t do anything about it. They keep leaving signs about people not taking bags in but never actually stop anyone. There is also a problem with people not putting clips on bars I’ve seen a few incidents, over the last few weekends where the bar has flipped over because the weights have gone to one side, somebody’s going to get hurt one day, I told one lad about it and he just looked at me and carried on.. the staff, don’t do anything about it you see them walking around but not actually saying anything to anybody. Just an update on the gym. There now seems to be more and more small groups of school age boys training there particularly after 4pm. You can tell when the bus has emptied at the stop nearby. There is suddenly 15 to 20 in the changing room all getting changed at once. Getting any kind of flow to your training is difficult, particular if you train with weights as you will inevitably end up waiting for something and getting a bench is virtually impossible. This seems to be the biggest complaint you hear from other members. I don’t really understand why gym works feels the need to have members under 16 unaccompanied as it’s very popular. I feel they are just being greedy. There is also no monitoring by the staff of this age group. I do wonder what health and safety would say if there was ever an incident.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great for a swim

Positive experience: Nice gym, lots of weight machines and huge free weight section. One staff member was quite ignorant and didn't even acknowledge us waiting and he could see us through the window. Other staff members we dealt with were very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Really nice staff, very helpful. Place is clean and tidy too.

Fantastic experience: Very busy gym, starting to feel very over subscribed. You will be lucky to get on the equipment, unless you want to do cardio.

Fantastic experience: Good size gym with plenty of equipment, Showers wasn't the best as the water was cold and it was freezing in there

Positive experience: This place has the coldest showers of any gym I've been to. It's cheap, big enough to have free machines even at peak time, a bit tacky, and has the coldest showers imaginable. As a student who lives close it works ok for me despite not being that classy. The showers are so cold though. UPDATE: Showers now warm and have been for a few weeks.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym equipment. Excellent classes. Very knowledgeable instructors. I love my visits.

Positive experience: Very busy

Fantastic experience: Good range of equipment, friendly staff and a clean environment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, 24 hours a day!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Full range of machines. Big enough not to feel crowded. Clean place with good changing rooms and showers

Positive experience: Unfortunately while the gym facility is great and the classes they offer are both versatile and plentiful- the office staff is a bit average. Anytime I’ve needed help it seems like I’m bothering the worker. I’ve seen workers not look up at all when someone is at the front in need of help, and it takes them minutes to grab their attention. I’ve had to press the “assistance” button 3 times and then even still knock on the office window. A lot of the office workers don’t even look happy to be there. If you’re looking for PT I would highly recommend them. There are multiple trainers with different styles- you would def find what you’re looking for there

Fantastic experience: ✅ Fantastic Gym with tonnes of equipment ✅ Very fairly priced ✅ Open 24 hours ✅ Friendly welcoming staff First day visiting this gym today and have to say I was really impressed. Had a good chat with a few members of staff including Tom the manager who showed me around the fantastic facilities. Definitely one of the better gyms in Preston, would recommend

Positive experience: Reasonable price, friendly staff and wide range of both cardio and weight training equipment. My only negative comments would be the lack of lighting on the car park and the mould issues in the gents changing room/showers.

Fantastic experience: Been with this gym for a while. The staff are super friendly and helpful! There are a big range of classes to attend, I tried yoga for the first time this week. Lots of equipment, machines, and weights. The lighting is super cool and futuristic. There are fans that keep you cool. There is a water fountain which I make use of. There is music playing out loud, but if it's not your style it is easily blocked by your own headphones. Absolutely recommend this gym

Positive experience: I decided to upgrade my review rating because they’ve made some pretty big improvements and the staff that they employee are very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great gym but sadly in the wrong location for me.

Positive experience: Very good budget gym. Enough equipment to suit virtually every fitness style/category. Never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to use anything.

Negative experience: I went in, signed up for a months membership and was specifically told that I could cancel anytime as it's just a months membership. After I emailed they said that this isn't possible, have then charged me another month and won't respond to my emails. I am still owed 2 sessions by a PT at the gym who has stopped responding to me. Awful customer service, was lied to and would recommend any other gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: Great spacious gym, plenty of equipment, great atmosphere

Negative experience: Worst gym I’ve been too take money out your bank account and claim they haven’t when you have it in black and white defo avoid

Fantastic experience: Excellent value for money, clean tidy and enthusiastic pleasant happy to help staff. I highly recommend gym works

Positive experience: Positive - Very friendly and approachable staff, full of very friendly people too. Fantastic variety of equipment and large changing rooms. 24 hour access is very handy too. Prices are a huge bargain. Negative - The gym gets EXTREMELY busy at peak times (To be fair, this is the case with many places in Fulwood) and is still busy at 'quieter times' compared to other gyms, so busy at times a 30min workout can take 1hr+ due to waiting. The changing rooms can get VERY hot and humid due to lack of extractor fans and the gym itself can get very hot.

Positive experience: The gym is good! But the showers and toilets are not clean and stinks. Better not to use.

Positive experience: Loads of equipment so no queuing, classes, good changing rooms. Some very impressive machines such as wattbike, concept 2 rowers etc , lots of parking. Very reasonable in price. Close to guild wheel for cycling and running access.

Positive experience: Helpful staff, classes are great, loads of equipment, good parking

Negative experience: Avoid signing up to the gym. If you wanted to cancel (I.e. if you move away) they still take payments from your account without authorisation! The process of cancelling is basically sending an email to a member of staff that is inclined to ask you why you're canceling. They then claim "if you've moved more than 15 miles away that makes it ok".

Positive experience: A range of equipment and adequate space make this a decent gym. There is plenty of room in the changing areas, though you need to bring your own padlock for the lockers. The showers are a good temperature too. There is usually enough parking, but at peak times (around 6pm in my experience) it can be difficult to find a parking space - but there are some places for you to lock your bike if you prefer to cycle to get here. The staff are friendly however almost all the administration from sign up onwards is done online so you rarely see many staff around on site. There is a call button by the entrance to attract staff attention however and when I've needed to do this I've found the staff to come quickly and be friendly and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Plenty of equipment, spotless changing facilities

Positive experience: Good gym great classes

Positive experience: Very good gym. Just gotta train late morning or early afternoon as its quieter then. The last hour is also nice. Only reason it gets 4 stars is the weekend opening hours need to be a bit better. 8 til 8 would sort that.

Positive experience: Once you know what you want to do and know when you'll get access to your equipment and how to get in! It's good.

Fantastic experience: Matt’s body pump at 6:25 on a thirsdau is the best!

Fantastic experience: Good environment, well equipped, friendly staff

Negative experience: I signed up a year ago for a 1 year membership, the beginning of the worst decision of my life. However, it's been so difficult to cancel my membership - I just don't understand why! I tried to cancel in December 20 but was told that due to COVID all memberships are frozen and so to contact them again once everything reopens. Then when I called them in March, was told to just keep paying until July and the membership will automatically end. When I contacted them again to confirm this in June, was told that as my account was frozen for a few months during COVID, the contract will only terminate in September but to contact them in that month as the membership will fall into a rolling period until I request to cancel. I'm requesting to cancel NOW so why do I have to keep requesting for cancellation? Why the hell is it so hard to get rid off?!

Fantastic experience: Be better if groups didn't hover around machines all on their phones

Positive experience: Brilliant gym but is ALWAYS heaving. Struggle to get on equipment

Positive experience: Busy and would get 5 but the organisation of weights is abysmal makes it hard to find the weight you want

Fantastic experience: Good clean gym with excellent facilities and the staff are great.

Negative experience: Worst gym I've ever been to. Better stick with puregym
