Fantastic experience: I visited Places Gym yesterday and decided to try the spin class for the first time. Although I was initially daunted, the instructor, Danielle, put me at ease with a thorough introduction. I really enjoyed the class, and the other participants were brilliant. Thanks to this positive experience, I've signed up for a year’s membership. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Always enjoy the gym experience
Thank you
Fantastic experience: It's cheap, it's clean, staff are nice, it's in a safe and convenient location that has parking by the Sainsburys. Not 24 hours, sadly, but opening hours are very good nonetheless. Basically, it's a solid no frills gym for a good price.
Hi Chris, thanks for your lovely review! We really appreciate it, Thanks, Charlotte
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and good selection of equipment. Can get busy at times but can't argue for the membership price!
Hi Luke, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate it! Thanks, Charlotte
Negative experience: Poor customer service won't respond to texts.
Sorry that we were delayed in responding to you, please feel free to send us an email on [email protected]. Thanks, Ellouise
Positive experience: Well equipped gym, clean and tidy. I'm a Gym Pass member. There was nobody at reception to let me in, so I checked in via the app and let myself in. Luckily, the barrier was open for me to do so. I think there needs to be a better process in place for Gym Pass holders for gaining access to the gym. I like to train at 6am so I'm limited on time and if there's no one at reception to let me in, it reduces my training time.
Hi Tracy, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we will make sure this is passed on to the team. Thanks, Ellouise
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place. Loads of machines to use. Value for money. I joined last week and have been to a few classes so far and got a great introductory offer with a Personal Trainer.. people are really friendly and there is a nice positive buzz about the place.. 2 floors with equipment and different areas for you to train. Great variable classes that are done in the gym but also virtuals you can do at home. Parking is free for 2 hours at Sainsburys down the road.. you just collect a parking ticket from reception on your way out. It's the best gym I've been to so if you are looking to go somewhere give Places a try. My membership costs £16 a month...that includes all of the classes as well..
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Good for all ages
Fantastic experience: Recommended
Fantastic experience: Nice gym with great facilities. We found the staff to be really helpful too.
Fantastic experience: Always a good low budget gym to go to! Highly recommend!
Positive experience: great set up friendly helpful staff its on the ist floor access via stairs I don't know if there is a lift has separate disable toilets
Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym, free parking, friendly staff.
Positive experience: Fajne miejsce, dosyć duża, przestrzenna, wyposażona w sprzęt... Choć troszkę źle rozplanowane sale do ćwiczeń... Powinny być umiejscowione na innym poziomie z dala od miejsca gdzie ludzie ćwiczą na głośnych sprzętach i gdzie jest większy poziom hałasu.. Nie jest to dobre w przypadku ćwiczeń takich jak yoga, gdzie ciężko o skupienie mając tuż za ścianą bieżnie, rowery itd.. To moja osobistą opinia choć wcale nie musi się ktoś z nią zgadzać... Jeśli chodzi o zajęcia byłam tylko na jednych przez ciężko wyrazić opinię na ten temat.. Blisko w samym centrum..
Fantastic experience: Truly fantastic gym with professional staff and lots of great equipment
Fantastic experience: Good value & friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Enjoy every single time there!
Hi Donatien, thank you for your kind review :)
Fantastic experience: Great clean and tidy gym with lots of good quality equipment
Hi Lee, thank you for your kind review :)
Positive experience: Friendly, centrally located gym, set over 3 floors with more than enough equipment to meet the members demands. They have a studio on the ground and first floors, with a lot of cardio equipment on the first floor, along with strength and conditioning machines, as well as changing rooms with lockers and showers. The third floor is focused on weights. Great value for the monthly membership.
Fantastic experience: Can't fault the place - staff are all easy going and helpful, the gym is like the Tardis - you can't believe it's as big as it inside! - and in the last 18 months everyone has been extremely safe and considerate of each other. I have tried the other gyms in Hinckley but this is the best by far for whatever you're into
Hi Paul, thank you for your kind review :)
Positive experience: Good gym good staff over priced for what it is tho
Thanks Tas for your kind review, we do hold monthly offers to make it more cost effective. At Hinckley, we also offer a dual site membership with access to the gym, classes and the pool at Hinckley Leisure Centre for just £25.
Fantastic experience: Guys who work there are really friendly and the Gym got everything to get bigger, to get shredder and it helps to loose some weight!
Thank you Mantas for your kind review :)
Fantastic experience: Good, very good gym.
Thank you Margarita for your kind review :)
Positive experience: Very good place as a gym
Fantastic experience: Polite and friendly staff, Nice open space to workout in and a friendly group of members
Positive experience: Staff are friendly there's good routine/ space and cleaniness for covid safety, but not able to use the studio when there's no class in there and there's limited floor space to exercise on a mat.
Fantastic experience: Great gym - got everything you need for a good work out
Fantastic experience: Easy parking; plenty of contemporary equipment.
Positive experience: Great low budget gym with a massive weights room. However the cardiovascular room could do with a better air-conditioning system it gets way too hot to push body fitness above and beyond.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, alot of equipment for all people of all abilities
Fantastic experience: Banging gym styll
Negative experience: The direct debit people are a bit of a joke. Staff can’t let you change membership to Leisure centre even though it’s run by the same company and the whole gym smells of sweaty feet. Value for money not bad but it could be a lot better very easily. YEH NAH.
Good morning Adam, We’re sorry to hear about your negative experience with Harlands and at the gym. The General Manager of the gym has been made aware and would like to speak with you further to rectify this issue for you. Would you please be able to send through your email address so she can get in touch? Best regards, Places Gym
Fantastic experience: I love it
Negative experience: Small facilities with not much equipment, most of it is taken as there isn’t much of it. In the contract it states you need to write to them to say you’re cancelling 2 weeks in advance of payment, yet I did so and they’re still trying to charge me. Poor customer service from both them and their direct debit provider Harlands. Wouldn’t recommend.
Good morning - thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear about your experience - did you know you can make use of our sister site Places Leisure, with the dual membership? A member of the team will be in touch with you regarding your direct debit, as you shouldn't be having issues - we would like to help you get sorted. Best regards, Places Gym
Negative experience: I went yesterday - first time to a gym in TWELVE years - for legs, bums and tums class - class is in a well air conditioned room - tick. the staff were friendly - tick. The class did NO tummy work, just legs and abit of bum. I have woken the following day expecting aches and pains and i have no pain... none! so therefor my body has not been worked out. very disappointed that i feel no burn today AT ALL, anywhere on my unfit body. lol. the staff stated near to the end of the workout that if we want toned tummies to come to pilates ! .. no i paid for legs bums and tums. I personally wont return here
Good morning - thank you for sending through your review. We're sorry to hear you didn't have the experience you hoped for - a member of our team will try to contact you to find out a bit more and see where we can make improvements for the future, in the hope you might return & other members have a better experience. Best regards, Places Gym
Fantastic experience: Best local gym by far, fantastic staff and manager. Always clean and plenty of equipment for a varied workout every time.
Hi Jon, thanks so much for your great 5 star review, this is lovely to hear. I will be sure to pass this onto the team at site. Thanks, Maxine
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes, and a friendly team would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Cheap and very good value for money. Full members of Hinckley Leisure Centre can also access her for free!
Negative experience: Smells awful in this gym, was pretty quite when I went but the smell is overpowering of sweaty feet where ever you go in the gym.
Fantastic experience: Love training here. Even on a busy evening you can get onto pretty much any equipment you need without much of a wait.
Fantastic experience: Not bad. Not my sort of gym. But is great for the othet half
Positive experience: Good gym with excellent classes. The regular 7 pm classes are perfect for rail commuters from Birmingham/Leicester as you can hop off the half past train and run up the hill in time to get changed and do the class! Looking a little tired around the edges in certain places - i.e. the toilets in the men's changing rooms need a lick of paint and some TLC.
Thanks for the feedback Harry. Natalie

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym with good staff
Positive experience: Only just started here at Simply Gym after a 19 year break from weight training and exercise. So far the staff seem to be approachable and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is pretty upbeat with lots of mixed ability people you are either hard core training or people who have never set foot in a gym before and just getting on with it. Nobody seems to be intimidated from what I've seen so far, which is good I think. Let's hope it stay's that way.
Fantastic experience: Great gym plenty of equipment, weights and class. Always clean with friendly staff
