The Gym Group Reading Central

Fantastic experience: It's easily accessible. When you have a membership, the app lets you know how quiet or busy the place is. Air con. There are plenty of options for all sorts of gym goers. Staff are very supportive and friendly. And always clean! Accessibility doors and lifts. All round thumbs up from me.

Fantastic experience: This is a great Gym! I’ve been a regular member her for a while now and it’s the best gym in my experience, it’s perfect and so convenient for me. This gym is also very clean in comparison to others, I would definitely recommend!! The staff are also great and helpful when needed. Especially my pt Shahbaz, he’s very experienced, energetic and knows what he’s doing!! I couldn’t recommend this place more!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular at The Gym Group in Reading for five years, and I couldn’t recommend it more! The staff have always been welcoming and helpful, creating a great environment. The equipment is consistently clean, and the team makes great use of the space, even with a smaller layout. It’s a well-maintained gym that’s perfect for all fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: Clean, great value, just what I'm looking for

Negative experience: Great gym. However I am very worried about the cleanliness. There were NO sanitizing wipes. Please put sanitizing wipes around the gym. It was very concerning. No one was wiping down their equipment because there was nothing to clean them with. This is not their fault. The gym Must provide appropriate materials to clean between uses.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for a while now and it's convenient. I used to train in the early hours of the morning when it was completely empty. Unfortunately it closes at 10pm now. It has all the facilities and machines that you would get in even an expensive gym. The staff are super friendly and always give tips and advice even if your not having a PT session. I have dual-membership with West Reading and Central, plus I have access to 3 more gyms out of town. I believe I got Slough, Wycombe and another town which escapes my mind right now. The gym is always clean, you can always get a locker, and the other gym users are respectful. It's also really good value for money at £24 month.

Negative experience: This is the worst The Gym I’ve been to in the UK. After using roughly 10-15 The Gym’s across the UK. This by far is the worst. The equipment is heavily outdated, rusty and cheap. This is in desperate need of a replacement and refresh. The gym is filthy, weight plates leave dirt on your hands, the bars have inklings of rust and the shower floor was disgusting On top of all of this the showers had no hot water, at least cold showers help with recovery!!! I would avoid here personally, the gym is small, dirty and rough.

Negative experience: Your workout mats are way too short only and small.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to this gym for a few years now and the classes and PTs are the best part by far, really good and supportive team!

Positive experience: Got worse since you removed blue rolls I can use my towel to wash my face etc but what about equipment? I'm not able to clean now and work out using sweaty and sticky stuff.... not good at all

Negative experience: Alright, almost summer time they decide to remove the blue rolls. People use machines, without a towel and they leave them sweaty, if U want to use them u gotta clean them yourself, at least we had this option with the blue rolls. I've been into to 3-4 such situations arguing with people who did this. After the work out I want to wash my face with cold water but HEY only hot water available. The soap is literally fake or extremely low quality. It feels like no-one runs the place , whatever breaks takes ages OR they just remove it. It's becoming very dirty , peak hours smelly. Rains, buckets all around the gym. Need to cancel my subscription exactly a day before the payment otherwise they remove your access.

Fantastic experience: Started going 3 months back and I have improved much of my physic .Such lovely personal instructor Shahbaz been patient ..They have a great team of trainers been loving to join all their trainings which are booked on line..still looking forward to continue being a gym group member because they made me feel home .....

Negative experience: Very bad experience & disappointment, I was very new to the gym and it was my first day. I was even not aware of how to operate the machines. I waited at the help desk for more than 20 minutes but I couldn’t find any help. No one came to the help desk. Staff members were in a room and no one bothered to help me. I watched other people and copied their way to the machine.

Negative experience: Very bad gym!!! They close at 10pm and you can't enter after 10pm! I couldn't enter the gym because I received an email about my pin abuse. The staff leaves early so you can't find anyone. I'll stay this month and switch to Buzz gym

Negative experience: The gym itself is dated but ok. The changing facilities are horrendous. Shower has almost zero pressure if anyone else is also showering, there’s a sewage smell coming from the drains. Last week there was a homeless man washing his clothes in the shower - unpacked all his rucksack on the changing room floor and left everywhere a state. There is a cleaner present but the issue is bigger than having a cleaner.

Positive experience: Good selection of machines although Quite close to one another. At peak times it can be "cosy" and "aromatic".

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, atmosphere fantastic, very inclusive gym and friendly people. Definitely recommend.

Positive experience: Gym has everything needed equipment wise and good variety of classes.. but it’s the gymteam and members that play a big part in bringing you back. The team / PTs are friendly, welcoming and supportive. Special mention to Callum who exhausts everyone in circuits, boxing and burn400. When injured he went out of his own way to support me through that. You get to know the members/regulars on varying personal levels - which makes you feel comfortable, whatever your ability, to really put your all in. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for a couple of years now, and I couldn't be happier with it. The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, and the facilities are well-equipped. I particularly enjoy attending Gianluca's classes; he's always incredibly kind, offers helpful advice, and motivates everyone to push their limits. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Good service and they offer water

Fantastic experience: The gym is in a great location, staff are really helpful and the equipment is solid.

Positive experience: Decent gym for the city center. I'd give 5 stars if the equipment was a bit more balanced. Could do with a little little less treadmills, an extra bench press, and a back extension bench. Otherwise, great place.

Fantastic experience: Good equipment and kept very clean.

Fantastic experience: Place is quite huge and trainers are friendly. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The Gym in READING Town Centre is absolutely the best as it’s convenient for me as I live local to the town. As it’s got everything I need to accomplish my health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Great environment and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: good size gym has everything you need and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: I joined The Gym Group in October last year and I can honestly say it’s one of the best gyms I’ve been too. The staff really make it such an enjoyable place to be. Callum and Damon have made the classes challenging and fun. I love that I can ask staff anything and they are always willing to help (and keep me motivated). Also thanks to Dayana who helped me start my strength training! Although the gym is small, it has everything I need equipment wise, as well as a great range of classes. I’d strongly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and great staff; I’ve met Gianluca who is friendly and willing to help!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great equipment. PT’s are super friends as well, Dayana and Gianlucca to mention a few. Highly recommend, even if it’s busy it still has a great atmosphere and plenty of equipment and space to use

Fantastic experience: Nice environment and nice staff, always willing to help, especially Gianluca. If you look for something close to town, just sing in.

Fantastic experience: I must say The Gym Group Reading Central is one of the best gym in Reading. Location is too good. Trainers are always ready to help. Machines are upto the mark. Weights section, cross fit, everything is good. I have attended several cardio sessions here and i must say it was awesome. They got a good variety of drinks which we can buy anytime.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending the Gym Group Reading for more than two years. It has a a wide range of equipment. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is always relaxing. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a prime location and welcoming staff! Jemma is an exceptional trainer who consistently pushes me beyond my limits and keeps me motivated for every session. Working out used to be a nightmare for me, but now I always look forward to our sessions together. Highly recommend both this gym and Jemma for anyone seeking a transformative fitness experience!

Fantastic experience: After nearly two years of training at this gym, I can honestly say I have no complaints. Having experienced a few different alternatives and being a regular gym goer, I can confidently say that this place is purpose-built for a great workout! The classes, maintenance, and friendly staff all contribute to making it an exceptional fitness facility. Join us, and be sure to say hi to the friendly staff members Gianluca, Callum, and Owen, who always greet you with a smile.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym instructors!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a good range of equipment and classes. Staff are very friendly, especially Damon who is an excellent and very knowledgeable PT! He does a great job tailoring and shaking up workout plans regularly.

Positive experience: Have been a member for 8 years - it's a small place and gets too crowded for me on weeknights, but it's got everything I need to lift. The kit is getting a bit old now, but it's still in working order. The lockers urgently need replacing though!! I've been working with Damon for many years, he's a great PT full of knowledge, not just about lifting with good technique and confidence, but also about mobility, pain alleviation/prevention and what stretches you actually need. Talk to him if you want to learn how to deadlift, squat and bench press properly, and you won't look back! Five stars for that guy.

Fantastic experience: Jemma’s classes are always different which I really appreciate because most of the instructors do always the same and it’s just so boring! Jemma also doesn’t film us without our consent which is great. I also really enjoy Dayana’s classes (when she comes) because they are more low paced but high intensity. I just wish instructors payed more attention to how people are doing the exercises and correct them if necessary, as some may hurt themselves if they keep doing it wrong. The stars are just for the instructor not for the gym that could do with a bit of cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Shahbaz. Is very popular and very helpful in his classes, as well as around The Gym . He is a real asset in creating an atmosphere of safe and motivational training for all of us.

Fantastic experience: The gym facilities and cleanliness is amazing. Love working out in this gym. Shahnabaz classes are amazing!!

Negative experience: definately not worth the inflated price compared to other puregyms.. shame no other membership covers this gym you would think its actually a proper gym considering the price for a ome day visit

All Staff members all very helpful and Friendly. Will very highly recommend this gym it is the best Gym in Reading central.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at the gym!! Had everything I needed and great range of classes

Negative experience: Visited a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed. There's an overweight blonde guy who works there and he had left mountains of books and notepads on a bench while he was 'training' someone, meaning no one else could use it at a peak time of day, between 6-8pm. Never seen anyone do that at a gym, let alone an employee. Most other gyms would shut that down immediately. Weird vibes there.

Fantastic experience: Very central, cosmopolitan gym in Reading town center, with some thing for every one to feel comfortable and connected.

Negative experience: i wish i could put no stars but i can’t lol. Thomas the personal trainer,sent inappropriate messages to me on social media and my experience there was not great anyways. always felt uncomfortable as i’d recieve looks from the pts. not a welcoming environment. I would recommend other gyms in reading.

Fantastic experience: The Gym Group offers a budget-friendly fitness solution with a no-frills approach. The diverse equipment caters to various workout preferences, and the 24/7 access is convenient.

Positive experience: Good gym. A lill small, rest is good.

Positive experience: A nice workout place in central Reading. Hope they are able to extend their gym timing till midnight

Fantastic experience: Actually love this gym equipment is good changing rooms clean staff amazing and other gym users are very nice to a client of mine

Positive experience: Great pricing - subsequently very busy! Update: nice enough staff, but don't resolve issues and are harsh with clothing

Fantastic experience: Love this place, clean and with friendly staff. Situated bang in middle of reading town

Negative experience: Where do I start… I wouldn’t call it a gym it’s more like a basement with not enough space, outdated equipment, unsafe and wobbly bench press bench(pretty much all benches), smelly and dirty. So when I decided to cancel my direct debit and start somewhere else at the start of the month they cancelled my subscription same day while I still had more than 12/13 days that I’ve already paid for (apparently that’s in the terms and conditions that if you decided you don’t want to renew they rob you). It’s not worth the 1 star and ITS NOT 24 HOURS but that’s probably also in “the terms and conditions” lesson learnt cheap is always cheap for a reason

Positive experience: Really really decent gym actually. Not super huge, but for when I am going it has what I need, and not too full.

Fantastic experience: Baz, Luca, and the rest of the team make this place feel like a second home, very welcoming and helpful, and always keep the gym in exceptional condition, could not rate a gym more highly, absolute pleasure to train here, even when I don’t feel like it
