énergie Fitness Cheadle

Negative experience: Been a member for years, it's cheap and mostly broken. You get what you pay for and it feels like it will soon close down. The only reason for me to stay is the vicinity to home and the fact it's now empty most of the time....

Negative experience: Disgusting gym! Expect it to be closed soon. Too many problems to list in my short time as a member. Can't imagine how bad its been for long term members. Facilities are disgraceful from top to bottom. Membership cancelled.

Negative experience: Do not join this gym. The gym is worn down with almost all of the machines being damaged and unusable. The ceiling is constantly leaking on to the free weight section and there has not been any hot water for months. Whatever the money is being used for from the members it is not to fix the gym, the staff are friendly but obviously working in terrible conditions.

Negative experience: It was a really good gym, big enough and plenty of classes and equipment. But in the last months is started to fall apart: broken equipment nor repaired, showers with cold water only, rain leaking here and there from the roof and worse than the worst the trainers run away for not being paid. I even found people praying in the changing rooms....but this is another story.

Negative experience: A real shame, been a member since it opened and the gym has been left to be in disrepair and the owner doesn’t pay staff or the bills. The staff are great but I don’t blame the ones that have left for doing so, they work hard but they are not paid on time and the equipment is left broken. The gym has great members who have a real community but it is broken due to lack of care. New owner needed or it will be closed but 2024, worse than the Glazers.

Negative experience: Been here 8 years. Currently at its lowest point. Time for a new owner!

Negative experience: This used to be a great gym, until the new owner took over. Since then, he has only been interested in his own personal financial gains, with a complete disregard for the welfare of the gym staff, gym members & maintenance of the gym itself ... *Machines are broken & not being repaired. *Roof leaks during wet weather. Not repaired. *Air con broken for quite a considerable length of time. Not repaired. *No heating & no hot water, because the bills haven't been paid. *Staff are leaving because he's not been paying their wages. ... This is no way to run a business !!! This gym needs a new professional owner, one who actually cares about the business, the staff & the paying gym members.

Negative experience: Used to be at energy Wilmslow where Lidl’s is now and moved over here with my PT. So I have been a member for a long time. (5 years) It was ok for a few years but then started going down hill. Machines were broken, not being fixed. When it rained it leaked through into the gym and buckets were put everywhere. Still does now. Heaters don’t work so now freezing and air con not working in summer. No hot water for showers or to wash your hands. The owner has seem to of cared less and less about his business lately. Cobwebs everywhere between machines that work! Noticed staff have been leaving and the gym has been struggling to open certain hours as staff shortages. It’s such a shame as the staff are great and it used to be a great gym. Just a shame the owner can’t invest in his own business or his staff. Sadly myself and my PT have had enough so we are leaving to go to a gym where the company actually invests in the staff equipment and building! Don’t bother if your thinking of joining as the place will prob be shut down in a month or so!

Fantastic experience: Been a member for many years, cracking staff and it’s like being part of a family! Got a big circle of training partners and friends there! The gym itself isn’t perfect and there’s many things you could complain about just like many of the reviews you see below. I only came on this review page by mistake but I thought I’d share my 2 cents and that’s if you don’t like it then please use the big doors by the front desk and don’t come back because your just hindering the people that love training there….

Negative experience: Leaving after 8 years It's gone so downhill Last straw yesterday I won't mention what It might be inadvisable Needless to say I won't even attend during my 30 days notice Found somewhere else much better for not much more money

Negative experience: I joined the gym in early August and cancelled before the end of August. The gym is very quiet which is great, even at 17:00 on the weekday. Toilets have been refurbed which is good. Unfortunately, the maintenance of the gym is very poor. Numerous lockers have broken locks, various cardio equipment are broken with no 'out of order' signs, lots of dust on the equipment, the equipment is tired with pads needing re-covering and the aircon doesn't work. The staff are friendly but the owner is not present or engaged. Yes it's a budget gym, but for the same price you can go to The Gym Group down the road. This place needs significant investment to be acceptable.

Negative experience: Dreadful place. I have been a member of the gym for a very long time. The facilities have declined in quality and it is now a health and safety hazard: roof has been leaking for years, air conditioning isn't being used to safe money so it is stinking hot in summer and freezing cold in winter, dirty and dusty, female showers and changing area are still disgussting even after refurb, equipment is ouitdated. The only reason I stayed this long is because it was on my door step. Well, time to move on.

Fantastic experience: Front desk are always helpful. Equipment is varied and spaced out well, range of dumbells is great with duplicates in the popular weight ranges. Gym members seem friendly enough and follow gym etiquette

Negative experience: No showers old equipment and not repairing broken stuff not worth the money!

Negative experience: An absolute joke of gym which is ran and owned by complete idiots who are more interested in gossiping as opposed to actually doing their jobs correctly and effectively. More often than not there’s no staff presence. I had the unfortunate pleasure of having a few free passes. After my first free visit I spoke to Rob and Jenna and expressed my concerns as I was looking to join a new gym. They said all the right things (the gym was being upgraded, repaired etc). So I thought I’ll leave it for a month or so to see. Upon my return a month later nothing had changed and no staff members were present. So I went back another month later and it was STILL the same. So basically the “management” are experts at providing lip service full stop. Other members that are friends of mine have confirmed this repeatedly but continue to go as they only pay £15 a month but agree the staff are a waste of time. Any doubters should simply go take a look for yourself! The equipment is old, tired and often broke/out of use. The toilets stink and again are often broke/out of use as are the showers. The roof has been leaking for years and the so called owner chooses to do nothing about it. The same applies to the air conditioning as in there isn’t any! There’s rarely any music on and overall the atmosphere is atrocious and cold, just like it’s “management”. From the names of the other people that have provided positive reviews on here, I can confirm that most of them are ex staff members or there about. Which reminds me - the very high turnover of staff that they have also tells you everything about the “management”. It’s no wonder that they keep begging people to join through extensive advertising on social media as they are constantly losing clients (I’m one of them). The “management” continually lie to their clients too with regards to upgrades and fixing their long standing issues which never actually happen! They were meant to have an upgrade recently which “started” months ago but guess what, nothings changed at all! How anyone would want to go there or work there is completely beyond me but then again knowing the “management “ I would strongly suspect that they wouldn’t be able to find other sources of employment as they are spineless, useless robots who evidently have no pride whatsoever! Good riddance you jokers!!

Fantastic experience: The Stars are awarded for what it WILL be like after the refurb is complete. at the end of Feb 22.

Fantastic experience: The gym is packed with equipment and if you go at a reasonable time then you can always use what you need. The facilities (showers toilets etc) are absolute pants but a) I don't use them so it has never bothered me and b) it's £20 a month which for the amount of equipment alone in is unbelievable so never expected David Lloyd changing rooms. Plus it's not full of oiled up instagrammers like some other gyms I have been a member of.

Fantastic experience: Love the place and the staff are so friendly

Fantastic experience: Good gym .. very positive environment and staff is very good and helpful

Fantastic experience: Not fancy, but plenty of equipment, helpful staff, good value

Fantastic experience: had a free trail here and loved it. The gym is really spacious and has plenty of equipment. Great vibe. When I move I will be signing up

Fantastic experience: Love training here, great staff and great facilities

Fantastic experience: Sound

Fantastic experience: Been a member for over a decade now. Has everything I need to keep training interesting. Tons of premium equipment, plenty of parking. Perfect!

Positive experience: A very good gym with good equipment. Only wish they had WiFi for members so that I could avoid using my data!

Fantastic experience: From all my years of going to the gym this is by far the best without a doubt. So much range and equipment and you can always get your session done without having to miss anything because it's being used

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, very clean and everybody puts the equipment back. Frankie is a great PT and I always look forward to our sessions!

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: The worst gym ever ! I wish I could give them 0 star . They took money from my account, however gym was shut down because of lockdown also I haven’t accessed/used their online classes and they refused to reimburse me. I will keep discouraging absolutely every single person who might consider joining them. Just cancelled my DD so these scammers can’t charge me anymore. Simply avoid this gym!

Negative experience: Do not recommend. Due to the ‘covid’ situation I ended up having two membership, here and at another Energie gym. When gyms reopened the app did not allow multi gym access (which I paid for) as confirmed by Energie head office. They told me this couldn’t be rectified and I had to join which gym I use most which I did and changed gyms. It transpired I’ve been charged for both gyms, Energie head office said this is wrong and I should be refunded by Cheadle as it is not my fault that the app doesn’t accommodate the membership I pay for. After speaking to the sales team they denied I have the WOW membership, then that I should have contacted them about the app and it would have been updated (not true and confirmed by Energie head office) then they stated an email was sent out about the app and this wasn’t true either. The sales team are very confrontational and tell outright lies and conflicting information. I have now gone to my bank to resolve this issue. I really wouldn’t recommend, it seems they will say anything to get your money

Fantastic experience: Great gym, building could do with some maintenance but equipment is good

Fantastic experience: Good gym, good equipment, friendly staff.

Negative experience: I fully agree with the last poor review!! If i could rate this gym a zero then I really would. Most of the staff are shockingly awful, unfriendly, unprofessional, don’t like constructive feedback, have the customer service skills of a crocodile and not really interested when you raise issues (Apart from George who was very good staff member) I had to leave the gym in the end, as raised issues about another members inappropriate conduct with Myself and other members who have also now left. The issues weren't not dealt with effectively given the person was friends of staff members and the issues were simply brushed under the carpet. That aside, the punchball was broken along with other equipment, the roof was leaking all over the gym with buckets dotted about, water machine broken and the men’s changing were constant dirty rooms. In a nutshell, the poor overall gym management probably done my a favour prompting me to leave. Loads of people I know have now left this gym (Including ex staff) based on some of the above issues. I would be really worried about this Gym’s decline as a business owner. I wouldn’t go to this gym if they were giving out free memberships!!

Negative experience: To clarify i went to the wilmslow gym but it shut down, so the customer service was horrible after you signed up the changing room smelled like piss and after the gym closed down they were still charging me money for 2 years till i found out, i even cancelled my membership the way they told me to, which turned out to be a very bad choice (cancel it with your bank). when i tried to talk about it with energie over the phone they would not answer or they would hear me ask for a refund then put me on hold and never pick up again, i finally contacted my bank and they sorted it but energie are now threatening me saying i broke the agreement, and i have to pay them again and a fine for the 2 years of gym membership to the non existing gym.

Negative experience: No hot water, countless broken treadmills, no heating and no staff. Place has gone downhill rapidly and long term staff members have left due to how it’s being ran into the ground. Only open for a few hours at the weekend due to ‘unforeseen staffing issues’ ie no one wants to work here.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, good value, plenty of equipment, friendly staff, good location

Positive experience: Good gym, limited on equipment. Day pass cheap if you are in the area.

Positive experience: My favourite place i

Positive experience: Gym

Positive experience: Great facilities and helpful staff

Negative experience: Run down and shabby. Needs a lot of money spent to bring it up to scratch which I doubt will happen with a fabulous TheGym around the corner for the same price. Had 7 buckets due to the leaking roof, air stank of dampness and sweat - toilets and showers are awfully smelly. The equipment is old. The staff are friendly hence the two stars.

Negative experience: SCAMMERS! - This is possibly the worst gym ever, in EVERY sense. They harass, chase and threaten you with emails and letters claiming you owe them money long after you have cancelled your gym membership and have stopped attending. I joined for two months (NO CONTRACT) and cancelled because of the awful and old equipments and the state of the gym overall. Since then I have been harassed, threatened and bombarded with letters claiming I owe them money. I will take legal action against this gym, I have never experienced such awful customer service in my life. SCAMMERS! Stay away. UPDATE: 1. I was NOT told by your colleagues that it was a 12 month contract. It was a pay as you go membership and I do not remember having a “free” membership, at all. I paid the full amounts for the two months that I used your gym for. Please next time tell your colleagues to do a better job rather than leaving customers confused, baffled and badly informed. There are many reviews on your pages of ex members and members having the same problems when wanting to leave your gym or cancel their membership. 2. I stopped because I was in fact moving and the gym overall wasn’t the best in its equipment and the gym was in fact within poor maintenance, that makes it two main reasons as to why I cancelled my membership If your gym was up to standards I think I would decided to come back. 3. I NEVER EVER chose to recommend you to a friend, please inform me this friends name? Because I don’t remember doing so, at all. That’s a blatant lie and with how your company harasses people I am least surprised that you are accusing me of doing something I haven’t done so. 4. I have no problem paying for your gyms membership, currently I am paying twice as much to a gym that I am currently attending than I would have paid to your gym, so please, stop accusing me of me “of enjoying a free months membership” 5. I was a loyal customer of Energie Wilmslow for seven years and had absolutely no problems, I joined Energie Cheadle believing that Energie Cheadle would live up to the same standards, but evidently your organisation is unorganised, incompetent and an actual nuisance. 6. I am leaving a negative review after receiving a tremendous amount of harassment and emails threatening me when I stopped going to your gym months and months ago. This treatment to ex customers is disgusting. 7. Lastly I am currently attending a gym not too far from your gym in Cheadle, I have had absolutely no problems, no nuisance, no harassment, nothing of “miscommunication” I am paying them twice as more than what your membership costs and there have been no problems.

Positive experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: Great, inexpensive gym. Decent equipment, friendly helpful staff, and great classes

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere good vibe

Negative experience: I was a member of this gym and was asked to put right some poor decoration works carried out by their builder! I did the work that they requested and the gym owner made sure that he had nothing to do with the payment of the work! The builder had to pay me but of course he went bankrupt so I didn’t get paid!!! I tried to get the owner of the gym to talk to me regarding my non payment but he didn’t even have the courtesy to speak to me! I stopped going to the gym even though I was still a member! Hate this place with a passion!

Fantastic experience: Cheap and efficient

Positive experience: Reasonable and friendly staff.

Positive experience: Good functional cheap gym

Fantastic experience: Top place but would love it if it had more boxing stuff 2 solid bag anit enough

Fantastic experience: Never too busy. Reasonable prices for a monthly membership. Many classes to choose.

Negative experience: Poor hygiene

Fantastic experience: Recent refit has much improved the facilities.

Negative experience: ***CANNOT CANCEL Membership ONLINE*** Really hard to Cancel So I've been going to this for over 5 years, staff is great but cancelling the membership is absolute nightmare. you stay on the phone for over 30 mins and lines only open between 9-5 . cannot be done online. I gave my notice on 2nd September and was told it's 30 day notice. because it was 2nd September it meant the notice would kick in from October which meant 2 months notice. No Regard for a customer that's been with you for over 5 years. Was told by Harland it's not something they can do as they just process payments for Fit4less. Have heard similar stories about cancellation from other members too.

Fantastic experience: Great gym great price great staff

Fantastic experience: Honestly its a gym where you can get a solid workout for a cheap price staff are always helpful an lots of parking and easily accessible will definitely be recommending!

Negative experience: Not a bad gym worth a go

Fantastic experience: Excellent well fitted and staffed gym

Positive experience:

Negative experience: Good gym. But will be better if I can do shower after workout in the morning. But the heating not working and is freezing. Is another year that during winter is no heating and Sommer without air conditioning. Other than that all good. But for me is big issue because I'm do my workout before work so will be nice take a shower before work. Showers facility poor as well. You have cold water or very hot and no chance to adjusting.

Positive experience: Gym has closed due to land bought by Super Market

Fantastic experience: Great gym didn't feel conscious about people watching me

Fantastic experience: Great gym!!!

Fantastic experience: A good place to work out. Brilliant stuff and management. Just both new equipment, investing in the gym. Good place to be

Fantastic experience: Excellent, very inexpensive gym in a good location. Plenty of parking and bike lock points. Easily reached by car or bike, located between Cheadle Hulme and Handforth with the A34 so close I'd say it was in a very accessible area. It has everything I need from a gym for a very reasonable price. Free weights are plentiful, weight machines are diverse and well spaced out, there's usually plenty of cardio machines free, a few rowing and bike machines, and lots of cross trainers and treadmills, the latter two of which seem to be the most popular, hence more machines. There are personal trainers available here, seemingly at all times of the day, I even see them there past 9pm so it seems like there's a wide range of times available to fit most schedules. There are also daily classes available for free if you buy either of the two more expensive memberships, but still only £20 for the top one. All round I'm very happy with this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym

Positive experience: Agree, water fountain needed and hairdryer to be useable, otherwise it is a good basic gym.

Positive experience: Well equipped gym but need updating. Not sure if aircon is working. But it's cheap and you get enough free weights, dumbbells up to 60kg so can't complain.

Positive experience: Good equipment and plenty of space.

Fantastic experience: Basic gym for all your needs. Classes need to be more reliable. Water fountains needed & hairdryers need to be useable. Basic price and basic gym.

Positive experience: Cheap

Negative experience: Gym in poor condition, loads of kit in poor condition or broke and doesnt seem to ever get fixed!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, plenty of equipment, value for money and 24hours

Fantastic experience: Great to see places like this helping people get in shape

Negative experience: Most machines broken/not repaired. It is freezing due to no heating. Leaks everywhere, so it is a hazard. AVOID and DO NOT JOIN Today they email to say at weekends due to staffing issues, they'll close at 12.30pm What a joke!

Fantastic experience: Fairly Priced, Easy Access, Always Parking, Showers and Changing Rooms, Vending Machine just no water fountain

Fantastic experience: Friendly people

Positive experience: The class attended was very good

Positive experience: Good facilities great price

Fantastic experience: Good, no nonsense affordable gym.

Positive experience: Cheap gym, good facilities if you don't want/need things like a pool or steam room.
