Fantastic experience: Been a member for a few years now, would like to give a special mention to Ola,the changing rooms and pool area are always pristine when she is on, she is always cleaning something!! Not forgetting the safety of swimmers and people enjoying the pool, she is on the ball, and a asset to the team.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Clean tidy. Pool is fantastic, clean, and tidy.

Fantastic experience: Been using the gym a few weeks now. Really good atmosphere, clean facilities and lots of equipment. Shootout to Ola from the pool staff, super helpful about the sauna, steam room and the general pool schedule.

Fantastic experience: Julie & M are so helpful allways friendly and you can tell when Julie is on her shift the changing rooms and showers are spotless always hand towels M is also so helpful and there to help

Fantastic experience: Great first time visiting, was able to get a great tour around the facilities by Tyler who couldn't have been more friendlier and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again

Fantastic experience: Great gym and nice environment. Excellent customer service especially the lad who helped me called Tyler

Fantastic experience: First time using the gym on a day pass and M on reception was really helpful and explained everything to me!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, good prices and friendly staff. M is always willing to help in anyway way that she can.

Negative experience: Tiny gym, air con is never on, changing rooms always too hot, boiler seems to break constantly so pools out of use or showers cold, currently having a refurb so changing rooms keep getting swapped over. It's far too small to get anything done at this gym and they charge £60 a month for a gold membership which doesn't get you much. Have swapped to JD gyms, half the price and a way better gym.

Fantastic experience: I recently had an issue with something at the gym which was dealt by the club manager James Clayton. I don't often write reviews but the service I received was excellent. Great communication throughout and a swift resolution.

Negative experience: Ran out of male lockers at 6.15am, it's been open 15 mins. Poorly run these days

Fantastic experience: Great gym and people

Fantastic experience: Both myself and my husband are members we are both retired and find the staff and members so friendly the social side of the club great. We would like to give a special mention to Julie who is so efficient and friendly. Big shout out to Adam and his team of instructors for the wide variety of classes always they always give 100%. I would definitely recommend the club.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for a while now and the staff are great and are always there to help. Caitlin in particular helped me out a lot when trying to log on the equipment in the gym

Positive experience: Far too many virtual classes, i woukd like more of a choice of face to face classes that neets my oersonal fitness level nit everyone is suited to the gym. Classes stopped without any communication even though they are popular. Cinsidering cancelling membership when looking at cost and classes at the local Sports Village

Fantastic experience: First time visiting and had a couple of issues that needed resolving, Caitlin was very friendly, professional and helpful. She sorted everything out very quickly which was much appreciated. Great staff and facilities, what more could you want. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and facilities jack Eaton pt great lad to be around in gym

Fantastic experience: Jack Eaton wow breath of fresh air this lad… up and coming I’m telling ya️️️️️

Fantastic experience: I did an aqua class recently and was the first time I have done one and the instructor Caitlin made it fun and friendly and I can't wait to go again.

Fantastic experience: Was my first time using this gym I was a little uncertain but staff member Caitlin was super helpful. She showed my the scales, talked me through the classes on offer and got me booked in for a fitness consultation

Fantastic experience: New manager at Bury gym, James Clayton. Great guy, can’t do enough for his clients.

Negative experience: I will start by saying the gym is ok, changing and pool facilities are good. However, before I joined the gym I explained that I relocate because of my work. They explained that if that was my only objection, they would let me leave my contract with proof of new site working at. They were happy to email document as well. After 6 months this happened as I half expected. Trying to cancle was quite frankly a nightmare in term of awardness and lost time. I had to send email after email, over 15 in total. I visited the site twice to sort out. I had numerous phone calls, and it was also referred to an exteranal debt company. They amount of documents I needed to provide to proved I was now based at another site was overly excessive. Multiple documents, multiple emails, in the end I asked them to ring the new site I was based at. Finally agreed to cancle and to charge me 7 weeks membership?! I'm not overly concerned with the money but the time and effort to get to this staged was exhausting.

Fantastic experience: Brillant gym pool and classes

Fantastic experience: Thankyou to Warren, poolside for helping with issue in toilets. Very professional proficient cheers village

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of the village for some years on and off , I started back after Covid , I go 4 or 5 times a week off peak and I love it ! I use the pool swimming and relax in the jacuzzi stream and sauna after a swim , lovely sunbed around the pool lovey when the sun is out , the member are so friendly and the staff are really nice especially Julie I love it there my second home can’t recommend it enough ! Good for your metal health aswell

Fantastic experience: This gym is soooooo well maintained regarding hygiene compared to other gyms I have tried in the past. I am a swimmer so the standards of the cleanliness of pool and shower is exceptionally important and I feel the village does meet high standards

Positive experience: Good Gym, Good Staff, Clean Facilities.

Negative experience: I’ve been going to a few years I’m still going there, the staff are very rude and not nice at all Post. They don’t clean up the gym how do you can see yourself in the mirrors? Is that dirty? I think they should Retrain the staff that they worked there

Positive experience: Great gym . Great opening hours . Can get busy at certain times off day . Mens locker room showers and doors definitely need attention. Apart from that really good ..

Negative experience: Poor value for money hotel. Barebones, no frill rooms (without gym/spa access) for Manchester city centre rates. Rooms had poor soundproofing meaning any whisper in the corridor could be heard clear as day in the room. No concierge, all automated systems, so no one to ask questions of. Disappointing experience.

Fantastic experience: Karaoke Night tonight was amazing, thank you Tyler and Adam for a good night

Fantastic experience: I have been a gym member since it opened years ago. I wouldn’t go to any other gym it’s the best around by far - first when you arrive you do not have to worry about parking your car as they have a massive car park. The staff are always on hand should you have any issues- Gina in reservation who I have known for years with being a member is always on hand to help new customers get the best deal possible. The manager Kate who again is extremely helpful and does listen to customers request. The reception team oh my so lovely too many to mention and again always try to help and assist as much as they can . A special mention to Tyler who went out of his way to help me the other day when I had an issue which he sorted in no time . The gym is absolutely brilliant you cannot go wrong, so much equipment and they are always adding to improve wherever possible. The large swimming pool is a massive hit - if you don’t like going into the gym then you can always use the big swimming pool and then finish with a Sauna - Steam room and jacuzzi. Don’t think about join or go and have a look round you will be more than welcome If you want to get fitter and stronger or just go for swim then join today !!

Fantastic experience: Very clean

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for many years. The instructors are great and I love all the classes I go to, run by the exceptionally personable Adam Popowski, an excellent class manager, loved by all.

Fantastic experience: Ive been coming to the Bury gym for a number of years, the equipment is great, atmosphere is good, the staff are amazing always welcoming, especially Laura who is always smiling, happy to help, very informative, is always there to help. I would like to give Laura 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Village gym Bury is amazing, great atmosphere, friendly staff and the best instructors, including Adam Popowski, team coordinator. He does a brilliant job of keeping us all happy.

Fantastic experience: I love the village gym and I’m a class junkie. I’ve got to say I love Adam Popowski, his classes are full of energy and enthusiasm and he knows exactly how to get me working! His presence at the gym brightens the place up and I know all the external trainers love him and they too are exemplary in the way they facilitate the classes ❤️

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've been a member of in over 25 years. It's a sociable place and the instructors, especially the wonderful Adam. Popowski make sure the classes are superb and cover arranged when an instructor can't make it. Other places just let you turn up and discover classes are cancelled. It is not a cheap gym but it is great value.

Fantastic experience: Just joined. Sophie was a great help couldn’t have asked for w

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for many years. I pay up front yearly as this suits my lifestyle. I have had to freeze my membership several times for various personal reasons. I have the App but I am not very IT savvy . Gina Mellor one of the sales Managers has always supported me with any issues. She promptly answers emails and goes out of her way to resolve issues . She is always bubbly and professional . As a result I have encouraged friends to join a .

Fantastic experience: Love going to this gym, great classes, fab instructors, good social side too!

Fantastic experience: Elliot one of the trainers is a great lad lots of knowledge. Staff always on hand, always happy to engage with you. Good place to be.

Negative experience: Good facilities but too too much misinformation.called up told to come anytime with my son. Came got told we cannot come after 7 so came back the next day at 1 and told we cant come before 2.Too many rules and restrictions aswell as minimal information Will not be returning

Negative experience: Don't expect half the equipment to work,the staff are rude and don't care about your circumstances, and god forbid if you try canceling with them, they will make it as difficult as possible.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I'm a bit of a noob and I've never been to a more welcoming gym. The pool and jacuzzi are the nuts. Very glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: It's good

Fantastic experience: Excellent Claaes, Tai Chi, Zumba, Pilates, Nice n Easy , Aqua Aerobics, swim in a beautiful pool and relax in the Jacuzzi Steam room Sauna. Shower and changing room before and well earned coffee or lunch in the bar later

Fantastic experience: Staff lovely pool clean

Fantastic experience: Writing this on behalf of myself and my wife Emma. We’ve both had personal training sessions with Connor at the Village Bury twice a week for the last 2 years. Also gotten to know a few other members of staff /PT’s in the gym over this period. Connor is a professional and is highly skilled at his job. He’s delivered great results fitness-wise for both of us, and made coming to the gym an enjoyable experience which I never thought I’d say! The gym has recently been refurbished and it’s a great, positive environment to work out in. To be honest we’re shocked to see the *anonymous* comments about a PT apparently making derogatory remarks about other people’s workouts. That’s not our experience of Connor or any of the other PT’s - they’re all friendly and approachable with everyone in the gym. Connor doesn’t have a bad word to say about anybody. I guess it’s really easy to post things anonymously online, but if you have genuine concerns about something it’s a weird way to go about raising them in our opinion. Keep doing what you’re doing Connor and the rest of the PT/fitness team. We’d have no hesitation recommending any of you to friends/family. 5 *.

Positive experience: I have been a member of this gym for at least 5 years. I used to attend Aqua and Pilates classes and use the gym. I have also trained with PT Connor twice a week who has been excellent in helping me with my various issue due to osteoarthritis. In fact I would have left this gym years ago if it hadn’t been for Connor who makes my training fun and helps me achieve my potential even though I am nearly 70. My fitness has really improved and so has my overall strength. Connor makes it fun which means I look forwards to my PT sessions. I used to enjoy swimming but I find the saunas and jacuzzis are always full and usually with men. Unfortunately I have given up trying to book classes as I refuse to upgrade my membership as this gym is very overpriced and the cleaning leaves a lot to be desired. However I do acknowledge the new gym equipment has made a big difference but there needs to always be a trainer in attendance to help with using the new equipment or to deal with accidents and also a more efficient cleaning team. I would give this gym 3 stars but because of the new equipment I’ve given it 4. However I would give Connor 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Great place. The new pool is fabulous. The staff are really friendly. Love the atmosphere here it’s very welcoming

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the village gym for a number of years. More recently, the staff have made an effort to engage with customers more and provide a friendly space to train. The new equipment was way over due and is a big plus! I currently do 2x PT sessions a week with Connor who is an asset to the club. His knowledge, both in training and nutrition, is incredible. He constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone and gets me results I haven’t been able to get anywhere else. Cannot recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Connor the PT for a while and i always look forward to every session he pushes me to my full potential and encourages me to train hard, always have a laugh in each session which makes it fun! I Have become much stronger / Fitter since training with him. The gym is a great friendly environment and the Staff always make an effort to speak to members.

Negative experience: Expensive for what you get compared to other gyms. Heard staff talking about how this is the worst gym in Bury. Staff honestly seem like they don’t want to be there and most of the time ignore you apart from the odd one who was nice. Showers in a state of disrepair even after fitting them all with new shower heads. Unable to ever use the pool because whenever I visit it’s either full of kids or too busy to actually swim laps. Sauna and steam room always full of old men and can never get in unless you want to rub thighs with them. One of the PTs with ginger hair was extremely rude and made snarky remarks about the type of workout I was doing from across the room to his client thinking we couldn’t hear him but we did. This same PT also had a loud disgusting conversation with members of his class about “golden showers” in the middle of the cardio room - unprofessional and not the time or place for it. Overall doesn’t feel like a very welcoming or clean gym and equipment is often out of order. Spend your money at a better gym.

Positive experience: Could be cleaner

Negative experience: This gym attempts to market itself as a premium gym but fails on many levels. Changing rooms, gym and showers are disgusting. The staff are rude and completely vacant.

Positive experience: Basen jak najbardziej na plus. Siłownia trochę podupada. Salki tematyczne 3+.

Fantastic experience: Better than rip off david lloyds

Positive experience: Great when I can push myself to go.

Negative experience: Overpriced and not worth the money. On 3 occasions the jacuzzi has been out of order. Dirty male changing rooms. Used towel bin overflowing. Smelly toilets. Mould around showers. Shower gel dispensers broken or not filled up. You hsve to pay for towel usage.

Negative experience: Overheard staff say 'I earned a bonus for signing up these mugs'. Overpriced and definitely not worth it even according to their staff. After this comment will be terminating my contract.

Negative experience: Sauna & steam room are always full of men, no female sauna or hours. Once there was even a man using a phone in the sauna and staff didn't confront him when complained about. Women pay the same money as the men but most won't use the suana facilities.

Positive experience: I only use the pool and jacuzzi. It's definitely the best in Bury. Staff are great.

Fantastic experience: Good gym n pool.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Village Gym in Bury for a number of years. After trying several others in the area, this is absolutely the best. They did such an amazing job during the pandemic and continue to provide an excellent service. The class’ and instructors are second to none. They keep me coming back regularly and are the main reason I won’t even consider going elsewhere. They’re enthusiastic, knowledgable and really positive friendly folk; they makes the classes super fun and really worthwhile. There is an extensive and broad range of classes on offer, generally something for everyone. Once you’ve been going for a little while, you realise the real sense of community in the place, with the trainers and the other members…it’s worth every penny of membership. The rest of the gym staff are super too; always a smile on the entrance desk and everyone genuinely looks happy to be there. The gym is well looked after and has a pretty diverse range of equipment and in volume (never have issues getting on what I need). Decent sized pool, sauna and stream room a big plus. All-in-all, Village do a fantastic job.

Negative experience: There needs to be a time cap on the jacuzzi. It’s so unfair that every time I come to use the pool, the jacuzzi is occupied with the same 4 people using it for 40 mins. As a young woman I don’t want to get in a jacuzzi with 4 old men. I pay to use the facilities every month and find it extremely annoying that the same people don’t let others use the jacuzzi.

Positive experience: Nice gym and classes! The staff is lovely. *I would have given five stars if cleanliness in the changing rooms and swimming pool was better. I have found hair in the soap dispenser, garbage in the pool and dust in the showers. Also, there's no encouragement towards members in wiping the equipment after each use which sometimes is disgusting when you touch somebody else's bodily fluids.

Fantastic experience: One of the Best leisure complex in the North West

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and atmosphere

Positive experience: They need more weights and less cardio

Fantastic experience: Got some new equipment better class of clientele. Got a good sign up deal.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service,clean facilities and atmosphere around.

Negative experience: Cancelling membership is harder than it needs to be.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of many different types of gyms in the past but I find that the village gym and swimming pool are a excellent facility. Staff are very helpful and easy to approach, and they also give you space and not pushing a service like personal training etc, well informed staff in all areas of fitness and the equipment is up to date and a wide variety of classes. Great coffee shop once finish work out or relax in the bar.

Positive experience: Sauna, Swimming pool, steam room and Jacuzzi are well worth a trip for. Wish i could say the same about the free weights gym are.

Fantastic experience: Aqua size brilliant.

Negative experience: They don't serve food untill 12 o'clock whitch I think is poor when I have trained I would like to eat. And they are still not taking cash? What is that all about

Negative experience: Staff are rude, prices are expensive, the gym is always busy and needs cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Positive experience: Reasonable hotel, but lacks some basic things. The 2 most obvious: no curtains, only blinds with gaps round the side, let's in plenty of light, and also the sounds proofing is rubbish, you can hear below, above and both sides.

Fantastic experience: Just a great place in all. Great for parking, facilities etc

Negative experience: More is required with cleanliness around the gym.

Fantastic experience: Not been there yet

Fantastic experience: Love the pool

Positive experience: Open as nearly normal as possible. New yoga classes etc. Swim good and easy to book. Website link to classes but bit confusing as uses web link.

Positive experience: I joined this gym 1 week ago. Constantly answered the phone and were ringing me. Tried ringing at 9AM this morning and STILL haven’t got into touch with them after being passed from pillar to post with different departments and being PROMISED a call back(promised a call back at 6PM and it’s now 8PM). 11 hours of calling and haven’t got through to them, furious is not the word. Will be cancelling my membership when I’m next off work! Such a shame because the facilities are amazing and definitely worth it but not worth the price you’re paying when you can’t even speak to someone.

Fantastic experience: First time visit to a gym and they were very welcoming and reassuring. Showing us the equipment and then setting us free to get stuck in. Lovely and clean and plenty of wipes and cleaning equipment on hand.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, clean and covid safe, the staff are going out of their way to do what's needed to be open.

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Feel alive now

Negative experience: I purchased a 10 day pass and was told that I could use it from 5am. I arrived at 5:50 and was told that I wasn't allowed in until 6am. I was made to go back to my car for the sake of 10 minutes despite there being staff on reception. Miss sold the pass and received rude customer service. This gym is also very difficult, I have called around 15 times now and they never pick up. I was willing to join this gym but not with this awful service. This incident has probably cost them £600 in revenue.

Negative experience: I tried to cancel my membership. I followed all their guidance (30 days notice, put it in writing etc). After no acknowledgement via either their website or e-mail address I cancelled my direct debit just before they were due to take another payment. They then chased payment, but after trying to call them 21 times and sending 5 e-mails to try to discuss this they did not and still have not answered. Instead, today, they sent out a notification threatening to employ a debt recovery agency. Unbelievable.
