Everlast Gyms - Barrow

Positive experience: Good gym, good pool, couple areas need a refurbishment (men’s showers).

Negative experience: Cash only gym which is just wrong and part of a dictatorship but the girl's on reception are wonderful and very nice and very professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Fantastic experience: Forgotten my socks so the manager takes hers off her feet to allow me to wear, Excellent customer service as always. Thanks Cheryl for going above and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Really good gym have been working out here now for a good few months never had a problem. There are always plenty of classes on if you're into classes but if not the gym has lots of machines/free weight areas + loads of cardio machines at your disposal. Staff are so so nice and really friendly. Haven't asked any of them for help personally but have seen them stop and take a good chunk of time out of their day to help people that need it. There is also a nice shop area for everlast gear and also an area where you can get smoothies + protein shakes and obviously they sell refrigerated drinks over the counter too. Great gym would recommend to anyone. It is quite expensive but defo worth it!

Fantastic experience: Great vibe, staff cool & helpful, pool nice and warm, gym well equipped

Fantastic experience: The biggest, best equipped gym in town.

Negative experience: Hot water keeps going off, changing rooms not cleaned regularly, equipment broken for weeks on end. Staff turnover pretty frequent. Jacuzzi booked off rather than being fixed. Generally run down or being run down, no regular refresh or update. All issues reported but staff unable to reassure they will ever be resolved. Shame as it was the best in town!

Negative experience: Water needs to be warmer. Its very cold when you get out of pool, shower area is cold and changing room absolutely freezing

Fantastic experience: Not a bad gym got pool free weights cardio classes

Fantastic experience: Clean, tidy, excellent equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, staff are always friendly and welcoming. A few machines down from time to time but easily managed with such a variety of machines.

Negative experience: Unhygienic, dirty and badly maintained changing rooms and especially shower facilities. Despite complaining many times nothing changes, staff don't seem to care, would rather sit on reception counter chatting or on their phones. One of the showers has been running constantly since January 2024 that I know of, what a waste of water!! I've complained verbally and by email to the manger but no reply. I don't recommend Everlast at all.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed this place. I took my kids here for a swim on my visit to the Lake District. It was such a wonderful day. My kids loved it. The staff was very helpful, polite, and kind, the place was clean, well designed and organised. The pool was approximately 4 feet deep and not too crowded. They even have a sauna to relax the muscles after a workout. The gym is ideally located on the ground floor just below Sports Direct, so just in case you forget something, you get it upstairs. Really recommend this place

Positive experience: Everlast gym in Barrow is excellent. Compared to the Blackburn branch, it's cleaner, less crowded, and better equipped. The swimming pool is great, and the shower rooms are clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside, common to all Everlast branches, is early closing times, especially on weekends. This can be inconvenient for those working late.

Fantastic experience: Just join by an amazing gentleman named bailey, was very helpful and welcoming, a delight on the front desk and showing me round,

Negative experience: When you park here you are only allowed 2 hours, but if you go into the Gym there's a computer to log in to for longer. I made it clear that I was from Northamptonshire and visiting, I paid an extra £5 because my membership is £25 there's is £30, Nobody warned me about the parking, I've now had to pay £60 fine for overstaying the 2 hours. When I phoned up they would not admit responsibility or apologise, stating there's signs up in the Gym. They have the time to take 5 quid off me, but not to warn about the parking.

Negative experience: I am not very satisfied with this gym. It used to be a fantastic Gym when Francesca standing was the manager. However there has been a recent change over of general manager and what a self centred manager she has become. Very unhelpful, rude and disrespectful. Considering she is a PT herself (not a very good one)

Positive experience: Its a decent gym from what I can see and the equipment is fairly vast, having a hip thrust is quite a good piece to have that not even some commercial gyms have. My lack of two stares is the fragrant disregard to hygiene in the steam room and showers. The black spots are definitely mould indicative so that's my mark down. Over time, the smell will likely get worse and that's currently still quite pungent. But overall good gym if you aren't looking to relax after a long day.

Positive experience: Good classes. Good equipment. Nice size pool. But hot tubs seem to be broken a lot or only one of them is on. When equipment is broken very slow to fix it. Taken away blue roll so not able to wipe down equipment the same. See people spinning and sweating a lot and bikes not cleaned afterwards

Negative experience: It used to be pretty good gym, unfortunately the new owners and management have let it go, the showers are disgusting and dangerous, broken tiles and mold present. Recently the boiler keeps braking down so no hot water. Machines have out of order signs on for months. General cleaning is non existent, if you report to manager or head office , they just shrug you off, the young staff do their best but are hindered by management. It almost seems as if they are running it into the ground and just taking the money. Looking at other gyms in the area to start in the new year. Good luck to all that venture.

Positive experience: Good large gym some equipment tired and in need of replacement. Pool. Steam room and jacuzzi available plus classes

Fantastic experience: Just joined great gym

Positive experience: Pad locks are being left of lockers in the male changing rooms as if they actually own the locker. The steam room is well over due a deep clean there is black slime up the walls next to the steam outlets and under the arm rests and also in the corners along the seats.

Positive experience: The swimming pool over the last few days has been overwhelmed with people jumping in the pool, kids in the jacuzzi, groups of teens throwing each other around, parents in jacuzzi shouting at kids left with armbands in pool. When tried to ask some adults to control their kids.... the reply is 'speak no English'

Fantastic experience: Great gym, full range of equipment, Pool, 2 Jacuzzis and Steam room. The classes are great, friendly staff and clean facilities

Fantastic experience: Really lovely staff, showed me how to use machines and different techniques

Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym, pool and sauna. Plenty of machines so your never stood around waiting.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, great staff.

Positive experience: Not been for years, I'm too fat and I've got no motivation

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! Great facilities! Staff are always helpful and offer advice. I go in as a guest on my husbands membership whenever I am down barrow.

Negative experience: Ben Warned !! If joining mainly to swim I wouldn't bother. The pool has been taken over with kids swimming lessons nearly every day, toddlers sessions all day Monday & Friday. Greed , Greed & more Greed. They do not care about the members what what would you expect with Mike Ashley at the helm.

Fantastic experience: Visited Barrow site whilst working in the area….staff on reception were excellent - most helpful…showers & changing area - exceptional - spacious, modern & fully functional showers ( hot & powerful ) as expected. Swimming pool & jacuzzi on the same level ( excellent ) I can only say….it’s a shame this site is not my regular visit, as it puts Blackburn’s outlet too shame.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Visited as a guest. Really friendly staff. Fabulous pool with a lovely clean changing room. Great visit.

Fantastic experience: First Visit free….good gym, pool, steam room jacuzzi!

Fantastic experience: Great place not just a gym has great swimming pool jacuzzis and a great steam room . Facilities are great for older disabled people and also have toddler swimming lessons so something for everyone.The staff are exceptional can't do enough for you .

Fantastic experience: The staff are really helpful and pleasant

Fantastic experience: I would like to say a big thank you to the manger and the staff @ Everlast for their professionalism and kindness that they show, to myself and others. I have been going to this gym for the past three years and now have started to do some classes. The facilities are great and only £30 Month. It is so good to do a workout and then reward yourself with pool steam room and jacuzzi. Recently I have been taking my 10 yr old grandchild swimming, she loves the pool and the staff, have helped her to feel comfortable and at ease The manger Fran has been very inattentive and has taken the time to make my granddaughter feel very welcome. Only downside is That is not close to where I live, but worth the travelling. Started doing some spin classes, loving them. Thank you Christine, And a big thanks to Sam for bringing positivity wherever you go ...

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Great place for gym and pool. Staff friendly and helpful. In these "strange days" this has been a lifeline for many of us.
