Isca Centre

Fantastic experience: Gym referral for pain management was and is absolutely fantastic. Rob is outstanding and Graham is a lovely supportive manager. It's a very friendly environment. I attend with my assistance dog, my anxiety is so high I can't leave the house so it was a massive effort to get here especially when I hate gyms and sport. I felt safe, secure and supported by all staff and reception is amazing.thank you

Negative experience: I’ve been going here for nearly a year and i’ve held off on writing this review for a while as the staff are lovely, but enough is enough. The opening and closing times are ridiculous- it makes it completely inaccessible for anyone employed/ in education, they seem to heavily cater towards older people. In addition, they also have random periods of when the gym is closed for older people to do exercise (example 12-1:15 on a Monday). However, none of the people during this time use the machines, just the treadmills. Machines are also left broken for weeks on end, the equipment is mostly all very outdated too. You’d think it would be a relatively cheap gym but you’d be wrong. It’s £30 a month! it’s more than what you’d pay for a high quality gym in London. The only reason i’m here is because there isn’t much availability for other gyms in the area. All we ask for is that the opening times change to for example 8am-11pm- something like that would be appreciated by every employed person and/or student.

Fantastic experience: very cool

Positive experience: Great gym and staff is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Breakfast is really good, staff are very helpful

Negative experience: One star for opening times only! How can you open a great cozy lovely gym @10:00?! It’s not a cafe for gods sake, it’s a community place, a gym, that’s supposed to help people, encourage them to stay healthy and generally well! Why can you not open this gym @8am, Or even 9am so that ppl can use it before work or moms like me- straight after school runs? It would be so nice to be able to do some exercises in the morning…. I’m Honestly hoping that ECC will finally start listening to the tax payers and change certain things about their sports places around Exeter. Please start listening to people living here.

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and quiet.

Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Great cafe and lovely staff .

Fantastic experience: I use the gym at the Isca Centre. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is a cafe to have a coffee/ tea etc. The changing rooms and centre in general are spotlessly clean.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and welcoming lots going on.

Negative experience: Another one star for the new guy. Been coming here for years with no problems at all, yet this new guy seems to make rules up as he goes along. I suspect this is to save himself work and get an easy life.

Negative experience: Following the review from Paul Wride, the new trainer is astonishingly rude and causing problems. He has moved my personal property without asking permission, constantly changes the tracks on the sound system to something he likes. All in all a bit of a (not very nice word). Will be cancelling my membership very soon if it doesn't change.

Fantastic experience: Great 8 rink indoor bowling green and brilliant restaurant...

Positive experience: Getting grubby!

Positive experience: I have no experience of the gym. I only play Bowls there which you do not mention!!

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with amazing staff

Fantastic experience: The gym is very well equipped and the staff are very helpful in explaining the use of the equipment safely and for best benefit. The cafe is cavernous and the bowls hall very impressive.

Fantastic experience: Two things are excellent here . The Gym and a good place for first time driving lessons in Exeter . The Parking lot is so big that a nee nervous drivers can get a practise lessons easily . But week days are too busy .

Fantastic experience: The instructors are helpful and patient. I wish they'd open the gym a bit earlier as opposed to 7:30am. It'll be of great help

Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10. Love my fave Gym! Isca is so clean happy trained instructors friendly people too

Positive experience: Went to Isca for a Petanque competition, great venue although the piste could have been tended better, many weeds one end! The staff within Isca were kind and helpful, they provided breakfast rolls and lunch, there was also iced water laid on all day. A good day was had by all.

Fantastic experience: This centre is located within and next to the arena playing field.The gym is well equipped. With a fair amount of space. 7 treadmills, couple rowers and a few bikes. Free weights and weight lifting equipment etc. Loads of free parking. There is an attached coffee shop that does freshly made food as well. It also host a large indoor bowling ring. Been here for a few sessions and will join shortly. One membership always access to 7 gyms.

Positive experience: I love this place very friendly staff and great service.

Negative experience: I am a driving instructor, a disabled driving instructor. While on a break between lessons I stopped at the Isca Centre with the intention of enquiring regards membership etc. I parked in the disabled bay out front that as a blue badge holder I am entitled to do, before I got out of the car a very stroppy council official with very ill fitting false teeth demanded that I moved as someone wanted to park there. I showed my parking permit and he abruptly said he didn't see it and walked away talking to who I took it as one of the trainer's at the centre and pointing at me. I backed out of the space and the driver wanting to park there pushed into it nearly hitting my car and the one parked next to it. The complete scene was totally unnecessary and was in my opinion very rude. Well after this sort of treatment I for one will not be returning and my hard earned money will not be put over their counter

Positive experience: Not good .coffee and tea not good .

Negative experience: The tea after the game was not given to the players in the cafe

Fantastic experience: Great facilities for conferences, meetings, parties or exhibitions. Or even just a cuppa or a pint. The bowling centre open to all and in excellent condition.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Staff are amazing, always on hand & they really did make my evening that bit extra special. I didn't need to worry about anything, they sorted it all.
