Alive & Well Health Club

Fantastic experience: I went to the gym as a visitor with another member and I was enthusiastically welcomed in and enjoyed my workout. It also has personal training as part of the membership which you would have to pay for separately if you went elsewhere. There is a sauna and steam plus it is next to The EngineRooms where you can work, socialise and enjoy the cafe facilities. Members are given a warm welcome by Jeanette and I have heard rave reviews about the classes given by Magda, Daniel and Katya. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic experience: This is a brilliant gym to be a member of. It is so friendly and welcoming. All the staff are great, led by the wonderful Magda. You will really feel inspired on your fitness journey, so join today.

Negative experience: Very poor in equipments and maintenance. Something is aways broken and repair takes ages... Nobody even answer an e mail. Cant see this "gym" anywhere close to the very minimum level of maintenance and cleaness, huge shame for the park, you can see the pictures, many equipments broken or in need of maintenance. This what you will get for the "bargain" of £29.99 AND, closes at 8 PM and dont open on weekends. If you have a chance, go somewhere else because here nobody cares.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff , facilities are very good and fitness trainers are knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly gym, very clean and well equipped

Negative experience: A series of admin botch-ups led to the gym failing to pause/cancel my membership while they continued to take hundreds of pounds in payments over the course of a few years. The admin were just as bad at resolving the issue. I raised the complaint in November 2022 and it's still ongoing - they take an average of about 8 weeks to reply to my emails and refuse to discuss the matter with you over the phone. Reluctantly given it one star - would give zero or minus stars if that was possible.

Fantastic experience: The staff who work here are amazing. Really nice people who are happy to go above and beyond always and are always in good form. The gym has recently acquired some new equipment and it’s great. Everything you need for cardio or weight training. Brilliant gym all round.

Fantastic experience: The salsa dance instructors are absolutely brilliant making you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Fantastic experience: Contacted the gym via email to see if I could could just use pay as you go. Telephone call shortly after & offered free first class. Attended another two spin classes with Jimmy taking the class. Excellent motivation from him. Liked the gym & will attend again when in area. Thankyou....

Fantastic experience: Go here every week for a Salsa class, it's very clean and well set out. They do a range of classes to suit everyone.

Fantastic experience: Nice and well lit gym. It's clean and has plenty of equipment.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym with knowledgeable, approachable and professional PT instructors. Made me feel really comfortable and confident right from the start. Clean, safe and socially distanced .

Fantastic experience: Sensible hours and clean facilities. Just what we need for easing back after lockdown. A nice range of equipment in good working order. Sure it's not a top of the line gym, but the prices are very reasonable and they offer £5/month discount to people who work in Birchwood park. The gym is split over 2 floors. A spin studio downstairs and machines and free weight zone upstairs. There is a lift for disabled access. Remote booking via an app ensures you can pick times to suit you and is much easier than calling up. This is especially necessary as they currently have a 15 person limit to help social distancing.

Fantastic experience: Great to be back at A and W. SD working well.

Positive experience: I find it has all I require is extremely clean and is great value for money.

Positive experience: I gave a 2 star review 8 years ago for lack of investment in the gym equipment. Having joined again recently due to working on the estate I have mixed views... Unfortunately the facilities have not changed from then. However, the price has come down from £35 to £20 per month and they have abolished the 12 month contract so at least some things have improved. There is a personal and friendly feel about it from the staff and other gym users making it a pleasant place to workout but the main issue for me is the lack of equipment. For example, there is only one very old squat rack which is in high demand during the time I go which means I have to go to another gym on legs day making it expensive.

Negative experience: Conveniently located for the business park, the staff are helpful, but very dated inside. No pool, sauna stops working for weeks at a time, and you’ll need to bring headphones unless you want to listen to awful 80’s soft rock Every. Single. Day.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with excellent staff. Good range of equipment and classes plus excellent physio on site too.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym. Very well equipped.

Positive experience: its a small gym but I find very friendly could do with some more classes as they don't use the studio much

Positive experience: Nice little Gym. While the gym is very small it is a bit more personal. I use the off peak membership as I only go late mornings so it's ideal (£170 for 12 months), pretty good value compared to total fitness. While I agree some investment would't go a miss I found the staff helpful and was offered a month by month basis as apposed to a 12 month contract. I have never had a problem getting on a machine a very rarely find more then 10 people in at the same time
