Fantastic experience: Excellent facility just behind Derriford hospital, we had a futsal match against Argyle in the sports hall which was well equipped and maintained. There is a small swimming pool, fully fitted gym and fitness centre, climbing wall amongst others on site as well as a Costa coffee. Reception was friendly and helpful and toilets facilities aplenty

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband have had a family gym and swim membership here for just over a month. We swapped from PureGym and I am so glad we did. The facilities are much nicer. No intimidating gym bros taking over all the free weights or loud club music blaring. The gym is compact but has a great, varied range of equipment. It's never massively busy and other gym users are always respectful. It's also great having access to the pool (hour slots, booking required) as we can bring the kids swimming once or twice a week.

Positive experience: Parking problem Just free for the first 1/5 hours ? It must be free for 3 hours, why not? Life centre Parking +YMCA + some large sports centre all are free parking space. You not agree?

Good morning, Thank you for your review. Just to avoid any confusion- our paying membership users are entitled to 3-hours free parking when they park in our carpark. Everybody else is able to get 1.5 hours free between 9am-5pm, with all other times being 30 minutes free (if your stay exceeds these times, you will be expected to pay via the Just Park app). We also offer free parking from 5pm onwards on weekdays, and all day on weekends at Plymouth Marjon Universities main campus, a two minute walk away from the Marjon Sport & Health centre. We hope this answers any concerns you may have had on this subject ~ Marjon Sport & Health team

Positive experience: Overall I enjoyed my time at marjons gym and uni. Overall a good gym with friendly staff and a good pool. The downsides are the pool is not very usable. You have to book. The cafe is nice if you catch it at the right time and food is OK. Could do with a bit of a refurbishment in certain areas but I get its a uni gym.

Hi Ryan, Thank you for your review and feedback, we will take this all on board.

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future ~ Marjon Sport & Health team

Fantastic experience: Take my kids swimming here. The facilities are really good and it's always fully of life. Wish they were a little more relaxed on the parking as I have to park really far away when I bring my kids swimming. Updated 2024: I've moved from puregym to the gym here and have a family membership so I can take my children swimming. I'm really happy with the gym here, it's always kept clean and the members are encouraged to clean the equipment afterwards. The equipment is better than it is at PureGym and it's very well laid out. The swimming facilities have always been really good and the staff have always been really friendly and helpful. I'm here all the time now and can't fault it. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the positive review of swimming lessons through our partner Little Leander, and we are also glad you're enjoying the space and atmosphere. As for parking, the reason we don't allow for free parking for 'Swimming Lesson user's is the fact that our small carpark would soon fill up, meaning our paying members would struggle to park. You're able pay for parking (via the JustPark app) to use our carpark or carry on using the FREE parking available up at main campus on weekend's. We look forward to seeing you again soon! ~ Marjon Sport & Health team

Rob C 1 year ago

Negative experience: Gym instructors are immature and rude. Gym is cramped and poorly laid out. Pool is not open all the time. Shuts at 1700 at the weekend. For a university with a sports science focus this gym should be a embarrassment

Negative experience: Just don't bother. Waste of time

Mark Smith 3 years ago

Negative experience: This place is terrible and I can see why everyone was telling me not to join here. Facilities are often closed or restricted for other things so you pay for something you can’t use and when you want to use the pool you have to book in advance and can only attend during certain times. Compared to the life centre and Devonshire it’s never open. The gym isn’t bad but the equipment range is limited there isn’t a lot of weights equipment so you can go for a whole workout without using what you want. The shower and toilet facilities are often dirty and slippery with damaged floors and tiles. Shower facilities here are still communal. Whilst the staff are pleasant they are clearly untrained and unsupported. My Membership was cancelled about a week after I joined And the staff seemed happy about that so they didn’t have to deal with me keep asking for what I paid for!

Emmet browne 3 years ago

Negative experience: If you like to share a shower with multiple men this is your gym. I'm dissapointed that there are barely any private cubicles to shower in peace. Its also dissapointing to have to go through all the effort to book a slot to use the pool rather than just use it when you feel. It also closes quite early for a gym on weekends.

Danny kendall 4 years ago

Positive experience: Staff and facilities are excellent. I would give it 5 stars if it had private shower facilities. I have no desire to be fully naked with children and other adults walking past. Doesn't take much to provide a cubicle with a door on it
