The Gym Braunton: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly, community-focused vibe. Amazing coffee too!
Thanks for the 5 stars Nick! :D Great to have you a part of the community! :)
Fantastic experience: This gym is great! It's huge and got everything you need. Lovely spaces and really lovely staff. Recovery room with compression boots at no extra charge was a game changer! Would recommend to anyone!
Thanks for the 5 stars Catherine! Glad you're making the most out of the recovery room and all the extras! :)
Fantastic experience: This gym has truly become my second home. Each team member has had a hand in helping me find my confidence both in the gym and out. I no longer have those everyday aches and pains , im meeti g my goals and most importantly having fun, tha k you to all the team at the gym braunton.
Hey Fran, that is so lovely to hear, thanks so much for the five stars! Keep smashing it, you're doing great and it's great having you! :)
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. First time I've ever been to one at the age of 48, overweight and very unfit. I have had nothing but support since joining, everyone is so friendly and helpful. I now do a mix of gym work and classes, a lot of which are included in the membership price. Membership can be month by month or even just by the session so no commitment needed.
Thank you SO much Jenny for the lovely review! You're doing great! :D
Fantastic experience: Such a great gym with great equipment and brilliant instructors. Had an infrared sauna - what an experience! Love love love 5/5
Thanks for the awesome review mate
Positive experience: A very nice small gym located round the side of the Tesco Superstore. All the staff I have met are very friendly and helpful. changing rooms are top notch and very clean. My only gripe would be the lack of air conditioning or fans. Plenty of blue paper towels and sanitizer all around the various areas, if only people would use them! It also has a nice little coffee shop in reception, handy for after you have worked out. I Highly recommend this gym, only knocked a star off for the lack of air con and signage encouraging people to wipe down after use.
Thank you Rob for your honest feedback and for highlighting so many of the things we work hard on—especially our team and the cleanliness of our facilities. As a small, independently run business, we’re always looking for ways to improve. While full air conditioning isn’t something we can implement all at once due to the costs involved, we are working on adding it area by area as we continue to grow. In the meantime, we’ll keep encouraging everyone to use the cleaning stations and signage. Thanks for your recommendation and for supporting a local business—we really appreciate it! :D
Fantastic experience: Thought it was about time I left a review…. I Joined the gym in December, and it’s by far the best gym I have been to, not only for the equipment which is great, but the friendliness of the staff, they go out of their way to help, answer any questions, and are all always very welcoming. I had 2 private PT sessions with Oli, which helped me to understand where I was going wrong in the past, this was a huge game changer for me and as a result saw a good fat loss and muscle gain in my first 11 weeks, which has continued. I also had a Nutrition session with Candice which was very eye opening, helped me to understand what foods to eat and at what time for best results. I could go on but overall fab gym and fab staff, highly recommend
Thank you so much for your review Steph and for sharing your journey! We’re so happy you’ve had such a positive experience with both our team and our facilities. We’re especially glad Ollie and Candice could help you achieve your goals and give you the support you needed. Thanks for being part of The Gym Braunton! :)
Fantastic experience: I've been training at The Gym for just over two years now and I've never known a gym have SO many frequent upgrades. It's an awesome gym with a great vibe but just keeps getting better and better.
Thanks for the kind review Jack and Thanks for being part of The Gym Braunton! :)
Fantastic experience: I joined last week as a conplete gym-newbie and can highly recommend. The environment is friendly, the staff are very helpful and I've found the app really useful. I'm really enjoying the classes and gym sessions which have helped me find my own pace and ability level.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review Karen. Glad you're enjoying your time with us. Great having you :)
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Braunton. Easily. So much equipment. Love it.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars Toby. Really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: An absolutely FANTASTIC gym! It’s got everything you could possibly need and more. There’s equipment for every purpose that’s super clean and modern, classes running regularly throughout the day and week, sunbeds, personal training, I think there’s even laser hair removal offered now!? The best part about the gym is the staff. They’re so approachable, there’s no such thing as a stupid question and they will make you feel welcome if it’s your first or 500th time at the gym! This is the M&S of gyms and I would recommend it to ANYONE!!!
Amazing review, thanks Lottie! We love having you as part of our community thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t speak any higher of Braunton Gym. I love the place! It has a lovely, inclusive, community feel about it and a great selection of machines and equipment, all in a deceivingly big space over two floors. Braunton Gym is such a wonderful addition to our community, providing this space for people of all ages, abilities and experience level with the gym to come and enjoy working out. It’s not the type of gym that feels daunting to set foot in to (although that is normal for anyone to feel) as you will be welcomed with open arms by the super friendly team like I was when I started. Well worth my membership. I wouldn’t be without it!
What a lovely review. Thanks so much Phil! We really appreciate it, and we love having you with us.

Fantastic experience: I was on holiday in woolacombe and was looking for a gym to go to during my stay. After reading the reviews I can say this gym didn’t disappoint, the free weight selection goes up to 75kg I’ve never seen this in other gyms I’ve been to. There’s plenty of equipment to ensure a great workout for every body part and plenty of cardio stuff too. The price is very reasonable especially compared to other gyms in the surrounding areas which I also looked into before committing to this one. The staff are super friendly and the coffee shop at the front is definitely worth a visit too. If I lived around here this would definitely be my regular gym. Was worth the 35 minute round trip from woolacombe for the workout, would highly recommend
Thanks for the awesome review Robert. It's so nice to read this! We're glad you had a nice time at our gym
