Everlast Gyms - Gloucester

Positive experience: Decent gym apart from the lack of air conditioning not including the sad excuses of little air fans. I work up a sweat just by walking in

Positive experience: As a wheelchair user with limited mobility, the pool is really efficient for me, as it is the same depth across the whole pool. The staff are lovely and polite. They accommodate everyone into this gym. The staff will help you get to your personal goals, no matter if you are a beginner or an advanced gym user.

Positive experience: Facilities were ok, and staff were friendly enough but no air conditioning and the day I was was very hot. The fans they put out didn’t work that well.

Positive experience: jacozzi out of order

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff who are very welcoming.

Negative experience: This gym has really gone downhill over last year or so the basic gym equipment is okay and plenty if using outside of peak time. The rest of the facilities are very poorly maintained the sauna is still broken after a number of months and not looking like getting fixed any time soon. The showers are hanging they have tried to update but everything just looks filthy, old and tired. Paint hanging of the ceilings, tiles filthy and cracked (take sliders) the old jacuzzis are just sitting there gathering dust and have been for years WHY? Changing rooms looking just tired as well. Overall if your happy to pay £30 per month for the use of a gym, pool and handful of classes fair enough but this place really needs to invest serious money back into making it a gym worth going to again. Also parking is a problem it used to be free for as long as you like when you used the gym but now it's free for 3hrs and 1.5hrs on a rugby match day. I would seriously consider your investment and make sure to compare with other gyms in the area, Riverside, Pure, The Gym etc to check on value for money e.g. if you simply want a gym go to Pure, if you want more quality facilities go to Riverside.

Fantastic experience: Food was excellent with a very friendly atmosphere and service

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Gloucester and had to find a new personal trainer (as I had really let myself go), so I had a look around online and came across Lauren Hart. Lauren is a PT at this gym and we very quickly started talking when I enquired about having sessions. I had a free taster session with Lauren and instantly knew she was going to be an incredible trainer and get me to where I want to be. I signed up with her straight away and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! I’m already seeing some incredible progress within myself and I’m hitting my weight loss goals every month. Not only does Lauren help my physical progression massively, but her service also helps improve my mental well-being so much. I love coming to our weekly sessions, being able to tell her how I’m truly feeling each week and getting a great session in to make me feel amazing. The gym itself is incredible, definitely the best gym I’ve ever been to before, so it’s just the perfect environment for me to have my PT sessions and work on my physical progression. I can’t thank Lauren enough for the hard work she puts in with me, I’m not the easiest client to motivate at times but she does it so well. Thank you Lauren for being the best PT ever and thank you Everlast Gloucester for providing such a great workout space!

Fantastic experience: It’s got a good vibe, good changing rooms and plenty of kit

Negative experience: I waited 40 minutes at the front desk on Saturday waiting for a member of staff to help me find out why my access code wouldn’t allow me in. I ended up leaving the gym as the customer service was so poor as there were no members of staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and pool

Negative experience: by far the worst gym I've ever been to. got to be the worst in Gloucester too. No aircon for about 3/4 years constantly 40+degrees inside. Unbearable if you want to have a good session. Soaked with sweat by the time you've warmed up. Wont listen to any complaints. At one point they went a year without a water fountain!!! Id plead with anyone to avoid.

Fantastic experience: Aaron W the PT there is the main man.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym and kind staff

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been❤️❤️I have tried loads of gym but Everlast gym in Gloucester the best.Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Instructors are amazing

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Positive experience: Great gym with a good set of equipment, shame about the hot tubs being broken (no notice when they will be fixed) good showers and changing room. Would prefer a few more boxing bags as it only has a heavy and small one. Great staff members who are really friendly. Pool is nice with three lanes with a steam room which is a great addition.

Negative experience: I have been an on and off member at this gym since 2014, and I can see just how far this gym has fallen from grace in the past decade alone. When I first started training here, it was just under 40 quid and the kit in my opinion was far superior to what is on offer now at the same facility so it needs a massive revamp with actual ac working for example, plus much more actual free weights available. Since it's now become an everlast gym, it's full of equipment hoggers, Rubbish music blasting all the time, lack of equipment in general and is now outclassed by even budget gyms such as pure gym and the gym group. But as many people have already said on here, the worst offending part about this gym is the so called spa area as this is an absolute joke of an area now. They charge you for the upkeep of the swimming pool, the steam room and the jecuzzi and they are always down or have a technical error as the receptionist put it to me. I also know members that can never get in the swimming because as there is always a class on, so that's not great either. Do yourself a favour and go literally anywhere else other than this gym as the company seems to care so little for their members who pay their hard earned money to use shoddy facilities.

Positive experience: Great gym staff are friendly only complaint if the hot tubs have been out of order for to long and we are paying for part facility not getting the full facility

Negative experience: Been a member for 15 months now and in that time the jacuzzi’s have work for a week, if that. Also the Gym closes at 6pm on weekends?! 6pm!!! Sort it out, I get that nearly every single staff member is under 30 so probably wants to go out after work, but 6pm is taking the p……

Negative experience: This gym makes me very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Many many have said the same to me when I bring up the matter. I’m afraid to say, the atmosphere is not very nice, the team are not welcoming at all and very judgmental, they allow certain members who are mates with them to walk around shirtless, and taking pictures - SOME STAFF EVEN do this themselves (can easily find on their socials) which I find very unprofessional and definitely off putting The the gym itself is dark and too hot, the AC is always “broken”, the gym is very old fashion and in need of a massive revamp, no natural light or windows, just dated compared to other gyms - but with a actual working AC that would improve things alone.

Fantastic experience: My favourite place. Very nice and knowledgeable staff, good classes and well equipped gym. If you want to work hard, that place is where you should go.

Positive experience: Budget gym needs alot of improvement the spa pools have been broken for a long time with no sign of repair showers on gent changing are need to be fix and upgraded many lockets are desperately in need of repair. And no tea and coffee to drink purchase after work out. Class are very good.

Negative experience: Faulty gym equipment, broken ventilation for almost a year now, broken access system and non-functional website(not registering paid fees, messages are inaccessible etc). Called starting in October through to November all the while not being able to go to the gym. Chloe said she would follow up with a resolution to these unavoidable issues, never did. Contacted to cancel and suddenly Chloe starts lying that she has contacted me when is obvious she hasn't since I last called in November. Avoid.

Positive experience: A regular member very good staff but interior needs improving especially the air conditioning

Fantastic experience: Great gym and good staff.great for wheelchair accessible.

Positive experience: Reception staff nice, but long queues. Swimming pool is nice addition, but otherwise, standard gym

Fantastic experience: Good kit

Positive experience: Really good equipment but gets very busy

Positive experience: I used the pool for paddle duck swimming lessons with my daughter. Now the classes themselves are brilliant. But sharing changing rooms with gym users can be a bit off-putting sometimes. One shared family room between the two changing rooms isn't enough.

Negative experience: Both jacuzzi have been broken for 7 - 8 months now which is completely unacceptable! I chose this gym over other cheaper ones because of the spa area that is included in the membership and the jacuzzis are a big part of that if you want to relax. The pool is still open, but now way too over crowded because of the out of order jacuzzi pools. How this gym can continue to charge people the full amount despite one of the main facilities being out of use for so long is not right. Fix your jacuzzies or give a discount. I will not be returning here in the future.

Positive experience: The variety of classes are good, but the Jacuzzis are no longer working and the steam room is currently broken. Since my last update F+F is only 2 per month, and children can no longer use these to swim (which was one of the "perks" I was persuaded with to rejoin) instead you have to pay for them to come and swim or take out a junior swim membership for an additional £15 a month. I've also had some issues with the Everlast booking system which has made it hard to book classes. The team are lovely, always happy to help though. If the problems were fixed I would easily give 5*

Positive experience: Tried this gym out with a day pass early on a Saturday, wasn't overly busy by 9am. Equipment was in decent condition, more options over typical gyms like puregym etc. It's essentially one large workout area with classes elsewhere. A little old school as membership options are contract based and the one off rolling month fee is expensive at £40. 12months contract is £30p/m which is decent when you get a pool chucked in too. Aircon currently broken at time of review so was pretty toasty, you're there to sweat though so no biggy. 0 issues on my one-off visit, would happily use again. 3hr time limit on parking which is plenty.

Positive experience: A friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. Facilities reasonable for the cost of the membership.

Fantastic experience: Have been coming for a couple of years now, best gym I've ever been to. Staff are friendly and respectful, strength facilities are great, great atmosphere and gym floor design

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean

Fantastic experience: i have had membership there for years. always helpful staff lots of space for exercises, swimming pool, sauna. I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Always friendly and helpful.The instructors are good and I enjoy the aqua sessions. Great.

Fantastic experience: Excellent swim.

Negative experience: Have been a member for 2 years and since it was taken over by Everlast Fitness it has gone significantly down hill. If you want regular use of spa facilities forget it. Jacuzzi's haven't been working for at least 6 months, the steam room is hit and miss and the pool is currently closed as it is leaking. The showers regularly have ones out of order and take ages to fix. They say issues are going to be resolved but make no membership adjustment. The gym has 'equipment hoggers' and there has been little encouragement for users to wipe down equipment to stop the spread of Covid. I have now cancelled my membership and gone elsewhere and that has been a farce trying to do without incurring auto charges. I used to enjoy going to this gym but sadly it is not for me anymore.

Positive experience: Good gym, although not very wide range of classes.

Fantastic experience: Very good prices good facities and helpful staff

Negative experience: Both jacuzzis out of action. Pool too busy to swim comfortably. Children's swimming lessons impact on gym members opportunities to swim both after work and at weekends. Beginning to show its age and looking shabby. 1 jacuzzi finally operational - for about a week, then out of action again. Pool temperature already dropping after initial warmth. Now single adult private lessons taking up entire lane, pushing faster swimmers into main body of pool... I managed to get in the remaining lane for a distance swim (mile) on Tuesday 7th June. Another member joined the lane without having the good manners to ask first. She decided she was faster and stronger than me and proceeded to swim very aggressively, powering up and down, ignoring my protests. At one point, she actually swam OVER the top of me! She clearly wanted to bully me out of the lane. Staff seem either powerless or not bothered about this type of absolutely appalling behaviour. Have now amended the timetable (7th July). 1st swim even worse, unfortunately. Aquarobics now in pool later, pushing members swim time along. Entire group came in and blocked 1 lane just to play and loing around. This forced 4 swimmers into 1 narrow lane - all different abilities and swim styles. Chaos!

Positive experience: Good gym with friendly staff. Spa pools are broken a little too often, though (out of order for several years now)

Positive experience: Need to pay more attention to repair work. Jacuzzis out of order showers so stiff you can't turn them off.etc.

Fantastic experience: The staff at the Everlast gym in Gloucester are really respectful, the gym equipment is excellent and my experience as a whole has been really good.

Negative experience: Have been a member pretty much from the beginning when it was JJB. The gym is a declining business with the amount of hands it's changed and effort in which the staff and management have in upkeep of equipment and facilities. Feels like a cheap gym now. Was lovely when I joined. Over the years have seen so many members lot due to nil effort by management in upkeep. And the decline is continuing! Air con been out of order for weeks now especially in the ridiculous heat we have experienced. Jacuzzi's have been out of order for months. Steam room doesn't get fixed properly! When something is broken it doesn't get repaired for weeks on end (that's being polite). They expect membership on time and no loyalty for members at all.. Myself and friends will be taking our business elsewhere purely because management DO NOT CARE WHEN A CONCERN IS VOICED!!

Positive experience: Have been going to this gym for over 10 years and it has gone downhill. There seems to be a trend towards playing rap music really loudly and there are way too many 'equipment-hoggers' who dominate one piece of equipment whilst doing sets on other apparatus. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are no longer any dance-type classes which us a shame. Good location.

Fantastic experience: It was really good to go back to the gym and spa

Fantastic experience: Indoor Cycle on a Monday @ 6pm is everything you'd want in a spin class, great music, intensity and motivation from Tom :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: A great gym and helpful staff with modern and well maintained equipment. Classes are regular and varied with highly motivational instructors. Pricing for membership is reasonable too comparatively

Fantastic experience: Ok so I’ve always had a great experience here at this gym, the PT are happy to engage with members and the staff have a great attitude! Cleanliness is gd, and the layout is better than other gyms in Gloucester! Can’t really fault this club as I always feel happy and welcome training here whether it was in a class, swimming or in the gym Other members like to make friends in the gym here more than others gyms, people tend to be more friendly maybe because it’s a health club rather than a 24hour bishbashbosh gym! Memberships rates are competitive and always seem to offer a decent joining offer Other than David Lloyd I’d say this is best gym in Gloucester! But even then DL has a few flaws! Price being one of them

Negative experience: I have attempted to contact this gym regarding my membership for several days now. Several times I have been put on hold for nearly an hour, from 18th in the queue, and then to get to the front of the queue and have an automated system tell me they couldn't process my call and to try again later? Absolutely disgusting practises, and I want to cancel my gym membership - which shouldn't even exist because I cancelled with DW Fitness before they went bankrupt, and you've taken my details from them and signed me up when I live nearly 100 miles away from the location! DO NOT sign up to this gym if you have ever had a bad experience with one, they are one of those.
