The Merchant Gym: Opinions

3.7/5 (10 Opinions)
Kyle Ambler 11 months ago

Negative experience: Odd day pass policy - must call 24 hrs in advance. Took a couple staff members and holding times to get to this response. Not the best introduction if considering membership.

Jill McLean 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jamal was so helpful and friendly and the view from the roof top jacuzzi & sauna is worth a visit!

Andrew Althouse 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Small but superb little gym for a hotel - has quality barbells and plates along with nice kettlebells and dumbbells.

UpbeatBarracuda 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great spot, friendly staff, place is always spotless. Down side is the gym floor footprint is quite small, great for someone getting back into the gym or someone who is cardio focused.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym since 2018 and I couldn't recommend it enough, its appearance is stunning and location is very convenient. It's handy having the shampoo and towels and the staff are friendly and professional!

Kelly Henning 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Merchant Gym is a great city centre location and close to my work. The PTs are excellent and always on hand to help during workouts and classes. The facilities are fantastic - always fully stocked with towels, shower gel and shampoo.

Positive experience: Location is good, but gym itself is basic and small. Not a great range of free weights. Sauna and hot tub were the highlight

Jack Muirhead 6 years ago

Negative experience: I have been a member for the past year of the gym and I am very dissapointed. I can’t complain to much about the gym itself bar being very small and limited equipment. There is ALWAYS something wrong. If it isn’t there being no towels in the changing rooms it’s no shampoo or shower gell (also why isn’t there conditioner in the men’s?) and if it isn’t that it’s the steam room being broke. And if it isn’t the steam room it’s the poorly heated excuse of a sauna. Most of the time the jacuzzi is just warm not hot enough to want to stay in it unless you are in it just for the quick picture with champagne which most people are. £50 a month would be amazing if the place was run well and maintained. Such a shame

Negative experience: Equipment pretty run down for 50 quid a month. But if you looking in to other facilities like sauna, clean shower then it's ok.
