Gym etc

Positive experience: Good for a workout

Positive experience: 1st time going so not sure my review would do you any good at this point

Negative experience: My daughter needed to go to the toilet, we were nearby and I asked the staff for this opportunity. I was refused, I have never seen a more disgusting attitude towards people.

Fantastic experience: My Hydro Center, Excellent for me knackered legs

Fantastic experience: Great gym, not too busy in the mornings and good pool and sauna

Positive experience: Decent gym and facilities, however so many members leave their bars/machines fully stacked after using them, or seem to scatter the weights in random places round the gym so noone can find them. Would be great if staff could remind members of basic gym etiquette, or regularly have a tidy up.

Negative experience: Do you accept cash in your gyms !!!

Fantastic experience: Good gym lots of equipment. Can be quite busy. Great pool and jacuzzi (indoor & outdoor), as well as a sauna and 2 steam rooms. Separate male and female changing rooms and showers.

Fantastic experience: Love it

Negative experience: Tried the 8 week package. Has lots of good points. However, they need to get a grip of cleaning changing rooms and toilets. I did complain and the smell of urine had gone, they seem to think a cleaner at 0400 will be ok for the day. A real shame ☹️

Negative experience: Women/Manager on reception is a plonker heading back to total fitness.

Fantastic experience: Arrived at the club to be greeted by Chris who's a really nice bloke who comes across as a genuine nice helpful guy......and that's because he is. Then spoke to Linda who I also find very nice and helpful, who had swiftly replied to my email earlier today, she updated me on a couple of minor issues, very pleased with the update.....thankyou Anthony

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, good equipment.

Positive experience: Been a member if this gym now for a while. Facilities ok but the changing areas could fo with a full deep clean especially the lockers. Also tok many hogging machines sitting on then in there phones and not actually doing anything. Also too many younger Male members just messing about with equipment and not really knowing what to do with it. Far too busy at peak times. Spending £35 a month to hang about waiting. Can't go off peak as work full time. Also when there is football and netball on the car park is heaving.

Positive experience: Great facilities, but need to be able to be flexible about attending and avoid peak hours as it gets really busy.

Positive experience: Been a member here for a good while now, the gym is well equipped and the facilities are great if a little tired, particularly the shower/changing room area. Maybe it’s just me, but what happened to being welcomed when you arrive at a gym? Or a farewell as you leave? Is that not part of the role of the staff behind the desk? Too many younger employees staring at their phones or chatting to colleagues to careless what customers think it seems. The staff that did make the effort seemed to have moved on. If you’re trying to make this an exclusive place for the 18-25 tattoo sleeve/manicured beard community, keep up the good work, otherwise take an interest in everyone who pay the exact same fee. It genuinely comes across a rude and a simple hello or goodbye costs nothing. It might also be a good idea to use social media a bit more frequently to let customers know if there is a problem at the gym? Turned up the other week to find the electric had gone off, not a sniff of info on any platform. Glad I don’t have to travel far to get here. C- “must do better”

Positive experience: Not bad decent equipment and facilities could do with upgrade in changing rooms mens anyway

Fantastic experience: Must praise Manager Linda Korneliussen at Gymetc Leyland for her support of my disabled husband's attendances at the pool. He has required multiple adaptations which have all been positively accommodated with encouraging enthusiasm. At first we didn't think it would be possible for him to benefit from the H20 classes which he used to love before his stroke. But Linda has facilitated everything we needed to get him (and various Carers) supported so that his recovery (from several setbacks) has been very much enhanced. We are so grateful for her support, compassion and and her positivity. Thank you Linda and your Team.

Fantastic experience: Been bringing my little girl swimming here and the staff are warm a d welcoming. Excellent gym and swimming pool. Very clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I signed up a few weeks ago and I really enjoy coming here … the down falls for me are kids, when your trying to relax in the jacuzzi/steam room after using the gym, you hear kids screaming and shouting in the pool. I don’t agree that swimming lessons are held here, it’s a spa area. They are better off at Chorley leisure centre for lessons. The only other down fall is groups of people in the pool area dressed like they are ready for an Ibiza pool party, wearing makeup and thong bikinis to a gym, why?? it’s uncomfortable and you don’t know which way to look. It can be quite intimidating walking past these groups of people as they are quite boisterous and noisy when all you want to do is relax or have a swim. There are a lot of young teenagers who hog the gym equipment and don’t actually use it …. So apart from certain types of gym members & noisy kids, I really enjoy the facilities and the staff are very friendly

Positive experience: Was once an absolute powerhouse of a gym. Sadly it relies on what it's reputation was many years ago. Questionable decisions made with changes to the gym floor, but understand what their thoughts behind this was. Unfortunately didn't land as intended. The kit is a mix of hammer strength mainly. Nice plate loaded selection in their extention. Tired kit is a harsh phrase instead will refer to it as tried and tested. When this kit requires maintenance, sourcing parts can be difficult leading to long delays. The staff was what made the experience stand out. The Personal trainers range in ability. Many long standing which is a plus. Wet side facilities rate highly. For the price you can't argue with what you get. Great value. It's an OK gym. Reputation tarnished from previous management. Potential to rise again with the right investment.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best I have come across so far !! The price for the facilities provided is great!! The gym is fantastic!! It has a wide range of equipment that is maintained, has instructions on many , so gave me the boost to want to try most of them, which has widened my workout knowledge and routine. All yhe facilities and equipment is kept very clean and is always tidy. You are always greeted at the door by staff and they are helpful if needed. The swimming pool is big enough for plenty of people to swim , it is never freezing and the other members using the pool are always courteous to others. The jacuzzi area is fabulous , very spacious and has an outdoor area which is super relaxing. The water is very warm at all times. There are 3 types of saunas to use, that are just lovely to sit in. 1 dry and 2 wet. There are 2 types of showers available and roomy clean changing rooms. If you want a great environment to work out, swim and relax afterwards. Join this one !!!

Positive experience: I've been a member for over 10 years...love it.no complaints. But recently I've not been able to relax in the jacuzzi or steam rooms for groups of lads and men constantly talking loudly and laughing. It's meant to be a place for relaxing not talking to your mates like your in the pub. So annoying, keep it down lads.

Positive experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool and spa facilities. There's a large indoor jacuzzi, which goes out into the open too. two steam rooms and a sauna. Many other gym activities, but we just used the swimming facilities today. We really enjoyed it today, ut's so relaxing and it's the best swimming and gym facilities in our opinion!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym highly recommended and the steam room and other facilities are brilliant

Negative experience: Gym not bad. It's the all absolute weapons that use the gym that lets it down. Yeah. Rest between sets thats fine. NOT SIT ON THE MACHINE CHECKING ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR AGES AND NOT LETTING ANYONE ELSE USE THE MACHINE. THEN ACT LIKE AN ABSOLUTE PETULANT CHILD WHEN SOMEONE ASKS IF THEY CAN USE THE EQUIPMENT YOUR JUST SAT ON DOING FA...They need to put some signs up or something. It happens every time I go..!!!! Need to change gyms soon..!!!!

Fantastic experience: Been a member since it opened and never been to a better gym classes are great and the instructors are awesome

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever used! The staff are always very friendly, especially Chris who is always very welcoming even at 6am in the morning. The gym is always clean and there is never a shortage of equipment. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone who is considering joining.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, good equipment. Can shout lightweight, yeah buddy and it ain't nothing but a peanut if you want.

Fantastic experience: Gym etc Leyland is outstanding!

Fantastic experience: Good gym. Always clean and staff are very friendly. Good range of classes as well.

Negative experience: Very good gym other than the manager who lets the place down she is very disrespectful and thinks she’s all it she gets cocky to the costumers She has short black hair and looks like a witch u will know who I mean if u visit this gym shocking worker should get the sack I’ve heard multiple people moan about her and how she isn’t all other staff are sound she is the only one that kicks up a fuss little wool

Fantastic experience: Been a member of gymetc. For your 8 years on and off, occasionally before gymetc erected the extension I did try different gyms because the workout area wasn't big enough but now with the extension and the most recent addition of the park area instead of the movie room, the workout area has plenty of room even on busy times of the day. And the spa/pool area, well that just speaks for itself, absolutely relaxing and beautiful in every way. The spa area outshines any other spas I have visited. Highly recommended and it's not always how much you pay you get better as at gymetc. you pay less and get more

Negative experience: It’s more like a pub then a members gym , some of the staff behind the counter stand there like grumpy manakins (not all staff ) , one staff members mentioned to me in conversation that some of the customers are R.A.F, this was not pointed towards myself but a group of customers oblivious they were being slagged off by the staff behind the counter , this made me realise they have an unprofessional attitude it’s actually the staff that need training/educating,I don’t think they understand it’s the customers that cover all the cost, example - David Lloyds gym call the customers sir/miss, customer service is everything they have none , bank holidays the internet says the gym is open at 8am however it only opens at 9am , they will turn you away to come back at 9am, also kids swimming you can only get in at 9am they will turn you away if you arrive at 8am, none of this is obvious you have to figure it out your self by being turned away , overall not very professional!

Positive experience: Great gym, love the jacuzzi. Pool is small and often cordoned off for swim lessons

Fantastic experience: Great gym and sauna fantastic

Fantastic experience: Very good gym

Negative experience: I had a bad experience when I joined on offer. Waited weeks for induction, which never happened? Asked to extend my offer a couple of weeks, this was refused. What was the point in joining with an offer when you are unable to use the facilities? Worst experience of joining a gym, customer care is not included?

Negative experience: I am writing this review based on an awful experience earlier this year. I'm a care worker, and the children in our care would frequent Gym ETC quite regularly, always accompanied by two members of our staff. There would never be a problem, we'd always feel welcome. Except when Linda the Manager would be on the front desk. This woman goes out of her way to be difficult. You'd think that being a with a child in care as well as being regular customers that you'd be treated with some respect, tact, compassion. Nope. Not at all. Linda would always make things difficult when we'd arrive. This particular day, Linda accused our staff of lying about the child's age....for literally no reason at all. She contested that one of our staff was even a care worker, even after we proved so with identification and an accompanying email from our office. She demanded the child present identification, saying that it's policy with the gym. I explained that he didn't have ID and that we'd never had a problem before. At this point, Linda accused me of "probably intimidating" her staff in the past when she wasn't there. I told Linda that she'd now crossed a line. This accusation was as unjustified as it was ridiculous. Linda then told us to get of HER gym. I explained to her that it isn't HER gym, that's she's a manager....a terrible one at best. We all left very disappointed and felt let down. The child in our care hadn't left the house for 2 weeks, we'd finally managed to persuade him to come and relax in the spa area....take his mind off his troubles, help with his anxiety, depression and PTSD. This was disgustingly snatched away from him by a power crazy, cruel and cold hearted member of your staff. If you go through the reviews online, ask your customers and your staff (two of which were on the front desk witnessing this ordeal, who mouthed "sorry" to us as Linda was carrying on with her apalling rants).....you'll realise this was not an isolated incident. We really love the gym, the facilities, the staff....this woman ruins it all.

Fantastic experience: Really well equipped, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, all you need to keep fit and relax perfectly after your workout in the jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and fire and ice room

Fantastic experience: Gym etc I a great place to come enjoy your self relaxing sauna steam rooms. Swimming or just a good old work out. With the running machines or testing your self on a cycle machine or lifting the weights to build up those muscles all round fit body. Come have a go at gym etc feel the difference

Positive experience: Been using this gym on and off for about 8 years. It's becoming harder to find a time when either the equipment isn't all in use, or gangs of kids aren't loitering in the swimming

Fantastic experience: good amount of equipment it’s always clean and a nice environment

Positive experience: It's ok.

Fantastic experience: Only recently got back after a long absence. I use the pool etc and leave the gym side to the big boys. The staff are very friendly and always very helpful.

Negative experience: Great place, boring unfriendly staff! Still!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with friendly staff, Rob at reception was incredibly helpful.

Fantastic experience: Joined the H20 class today and had swim after. Had a stroke a few years ago so trying to get fit again. Doing me a lot of good, feeling better and fitter. Also doing power walking in the water which helps

Negative experience: Came for a trial not going back, gym is ok but the attitude of female reception staff stinks, don’t recommend !

Negative experience: Staff need to sort their attitude out, ASAP!!!

Negative experience: Good gym with great facilities and friendly staff. Just the opening hours get me a bit. Should be open till 10pm every day.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area - but please, as commented by other people, turn the music down. Your choice of music is awful, don't force us all to listen to it, please.

Negative experience: Good pool and looks good but weights never organised and nothing below 12kg in the free weight area

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: Kicked out of the pool half an hour before closing.asked for opening hours, told check Google, which I had done before my trip.then told they shut early to clean. Would be nice if this was advertised.

Fantastic experience: Facilities always clean and tidy, very good value for money for the gym and classes. Equipment is always in good condition and always able to get on a machine. Would recomend.

Positive experience: Fantastic facilities and good value. I stopped going because it gets far too busy and the pool always seems to have kids swimming lessons going on. If they had a separate pool for the kids I'd probably rejoin.

Fantastic experience: Trained here on and off since 2013. The facilties are fantastic, plenty of space and equipment. Regularly invest in improvements and have extended a couple of times since I first came. I should tell people it's no good to put them off and keep it quieter but I can't.

Fantastic experience: Great gym everything you need in one

Positive experience: Honestly is hands down the nicest gym around. I returned here after a short break and I’m so relieved they’ve decided to turn the volume on the music down a little bit (maybe it depends who is on shift) but it’s a much more friendly environment for those with autism or sensory overload. Only points for improvement would be- Please consider adding more cubicles and turning the heating on in the changing rooms! And it would be great if staff could remind large groups to remain respectful and aware of those around them when using pool areas etc. it’s hard to buy into the whole “spa feel” thing when surrounded with lads shouting at each other across the pool and creating huge tidal waves in the hot tub.

Fantastic experience: Really good facilities. Good quality machines, friendly staff, clean, can be difficult to get a machine between 5pm and 7pm. Car parking is tricky. Unfortunately they have in their prices significantly

Fantastic experience: Always Good

Positive experience: Lovely pool relaxing swim and sauna

Positive experience: The majority of the facilities are great and although I don’t have a membership including classes, it’s good value for money. The staff work hard to maintain the areas that need it. The major thing that marks the place down for me is the shower and toilet facilities. The showers are utterly bizarre in that the the pump lasts around 15 seconds and you have to constantly repress it, with the key factor being privacy. The boards between showers are all but see through and there is NO COVER IN THE FRONT?! In my opinion it encourages people to NOT use the shower and pool amenities and overshadows what is otherwise a fairly decent gym.

Fantastic experience: fish cod

Positive experience: Very busy and to many loud kids in and around the pool area.

Negative experience: Tried to cancel due to medical reasons no one is emailing me back can't get hold of no one and still taking money of me

Fantastic experience: Great staff and great all round

Fantastic experience: Best gym if been to

Fantastic experience: Loving it here. Great facilities, really good atmosphere, brilliant range of classes and nice staff. Would definitely recommend

Positive experience: Joined yesterday. Facilities seemed clean and they have a good range of workout machines, nice swimming/relaxation area. Only thing that lost a star was how busy it was - not with adults but children. Think I went when a child's swimming class had started. Pool isn't really big enough to have children's classes

Fantastic experience: Just did an aqua class with the fabulous Debbie, shes always smiling, encouaging and energetic even in this heat. Thanks Debbie

Fantastic experience: Great place to train and love the pool

Fantastic experience: Top gym excellent staff all super friendly and top equipment and facilities . Could not recommend enough .

Positive experience: Good conditions for a affordable price. They need to improve the air conditioner with some urgency quite poor at the moment

Positive experience: Good gym but the equipment is broken for weeks sometimes. Seems a lot better since the new manger

Fantastic experience: The gym is just about to have an upgrade on brand new machines Coming next month

Positive experience: Good facilities Friendly staff Love the pool & spa area

Positive experience: Really enjoyed sauna and steam room. It was so relaxing and clean, everything is good but not happy because I paid £25 and I can’t use the membership in a different branch

Positive experience: Too busy. Facilities are lovely just too busy for me to the point you can’t use the equipment. The pool area used to be relaxing but there are regularly really loud classes on, it seems they’re in need of another pool. As when you’re in the sauna you can just hear class music or children lessens etc and it isn’t really the vibe your looking for when you’re wanting to relax. Staff are lovely, I just felt the gym had gone in a different direction since I joined.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym. The saunas and jacuzzi are so relaxing fantastic

Fantastic experience: Always good here

Fantastic experience: Seems to have greatly improved with the new manageress at the helm.

Fantastic experience: Been using this gym for about 3 or 4 years now its a great gym verry big only issue I have is the changing rooms are to small sometimes it's hard work getting changed apart from that it's full stars for me

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained, lots of good equipment, excellent service from the staff members.

Positive experience: Good gym with lots of facilities. Love the pool area rhe most. Dark lit so don't feel conscious. Outdoor and indoor jacuzzi. Sauna and steam room Lots of classes and equipment. Only Downside : no online booking system for classes and would be good to see how busy rhe gym is before going

Fantastic experience: Nice gym

Fantastic experience: Great price per month. Helpful staff and great facilities.... wish I'd joined sooner

Negative experience: Website claims to allow Free Day Passes. Only available at 2 sites because "due to the facilities and size of the clubs". I was asked to pay £15 to check the club out. When queried I was told it was made clear on the drop down (it's not see the screenshot). I asked for head office address and was ignored. I don't think they care if they want your business. Might be an awesome gym but people answering emails care it seems.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing Gym, with some fantastic staff.

Fantastic experience: Very Very nice. I enjoyed. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Even at its busiest there's always space and plenty of equipment. Friendly staff too.

Positive experience: Been a few years since I've I visited this gym and came back today. The staff seem really cool, the facilities are decent, I'm liking the new fake grass area. My only gripe is the tired showers / tiles etc, it's about time they were all refurbished and the showers made all consistently powerful.

Negative experience: The male at the front desk who lacked hair follicles (obviously because he is in a creatine monohydrate surplus) was nothing but rude to me and my peers upon entry. When I requested to purchase a day pass he was very tergiversate about it. His demeaner came across rather unpardonable as the sheen of his oval, misshaped head beamed into my left iris burning away at the pupil. Not to mention, if I possessed a spare piece of chewing gum I would pop it out the packet and force him to masticate it vigorously. His breath was pongy and pungent with a residue of marmite crusted in the upper corner of his lip. The denticulation was sub-par, he had a crooked angular overlapping set of gnashers. The state of these teeth was giving me severe trichotillomania.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant quality place nice staff and friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Quality gym, great staff loads of equipment to work out with whether its cardio or weight training with varied classes to suit all, pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam rooms are perfect like all gyms try and avoid peak times to enjoy fully !
