Dare Fitness: Opinions

Positive experience: Lovely staff with an excellent array of equipment. A little pricey for me but well worth it if you can afford it, their prices aren't unreasonable just out of my price range and the monthly commitment is the only reason I've given 4 instead of 5.

Fantastic experience: Rocked up after feeling dismayed with another local gym and what a difference. It's taken me 2 years to get back into a gym routine and Dare Fitness flicked that switch as soon as I walked in. Finding the right gym with the right attitude and layout is paramount for me as I'm easily overwhelmed but Dare Fitness has that magic sauce i desperately needed. Every member of staff is a superstar with special mention to Amy and Thomas. Thank you for being patient and treating me with respect you have no idea what a difference it has made, I'll happily admit after leaving on my second visit I was crying with tears of joy. Mwah xxx.

Fantastic experience: Recently joined Dare Gym once the stupid lockdown restrictions were lifted. Even though it was the first day of opening, one of the female staff took the time to show me around - great customer service. There is an app that let's you book sessions, which works well. The staff are friendly and one of the personal trainers took 5 mins between clients to show me how to use some equipment I hadn't used before - kudos. Monthly price over a year contract is very reasonable and the gym is in a fantastic old church building. Excellent all around - so recommend

Positive experience: Receptionist is just lovely and made me feel welcomed and at home. The gym itself is really quirky being on 3 floors and in a converted church but they've got all the equipment you need. Some of it does look a bit out dated though like the mats and weights but it gets the job done. Especially as there aren't many gyms in the area (I came from Merthyr) They had a new looking studio unit and do classes as part of the membership which is good. I borrowed their gloves to go on the bags. I would suggest bringing your own if you join as I don't think they're washed.

Fantastic experience: What a place - what a place! 3 floors filled with all the equipment you can think off and it's a church! That's right - a church! It takes the meaning of 'being religious about staying fit' to a next level. Great bunch of people, great place.
