Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our members is our priority, and we clearly fell short in this instance.

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym overall. Came here on a free day pass promotion and enjoyed working out here for the day. Machines felt very smooth to use and went up to a good enough weight. There is a wide array of free weights to use and quite a few moveable benches available too. Also a few squat racks as well, which is always nice. I went on a bank holiday during peak hours and it was quite busy to be honest, but didn’t spend any time waiting around. Changing rooms very clean as well. My only negative takeaway from my experience is that it was quite warm in the gym, and the AC wasn’t that strong, but honestly not a terrible thing as I’m yet to visit a gym in England with decent AC haha! Overall would recommend this gym, definitely use a free day pass to try it out!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to know you enjoyed our facilities during your visit. Our team is always looking to improve, and we're on it with the AC situation! Look forward to seeing you again soon at Lifestyle Fitness Canterbury.
Fantastic experience: Great equipment and friendly staff
We deeply value your feedback and are delighted that you enjoyed our equipment and welcoming team! Your positive experience is our top priority, and we can't wait to have you with us at Lifestyle Fitness Canterbury again.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff - good facilities and has disabled friendly accessibility.
We're so pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly and our facilities accommodating! It's wonderful to know we're meeting your needs, especially with accessibility. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Negative experience: Amazing inflatable structures for kids to play, however it is quite understaffed, non-heated space (gets super cold inside), overpriced food and drinks (like VERY expensive) and weird rules. All kids are expected to come out every hour for 10 mins, even if you've booked a 2hr or longer session. Waste of time and some staff were rude to kids. Made my daughter run to me crying which I didn't appreciate. Won't be back, that's for sure!
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments about the inflatable structures and understand your concerns regarding staffing, heating, prices, and session rules. These points are valuable to us as we continually seek to improve our services. We strive to ensure that everyone has a positive experience, and we are sorry to hear that some staff interactions were not up to standard. We will address this with our team immediately. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope you might reconsider visiting us in the future to see the improvements we make.
Fantastic experience: I’m very happy ♥️♥️
We truly appreciate your uplifting feedback! It warms our hearts to know you're enjoying your experience with us. We can't wait to welcome you back soon! ♥️
Fantastic experience: Great gym. The club manager Lewis is amazing! Always helpful & professional.
Hi Tom, we're delighted that you had such a great experience at our gym! It's wonderful to hear Lewis made a positive impact with his professionalism and support. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Positive experience: Lots of classes and a friendly team make this gym a really pleasant place to go. The classes are easy to book and are at different times to make classes accessible to as many as possible. With a womens only room, studio and spin room found on the top floor and the main gym found on the 1st floor. Access to additional sports are available such as badminton for an additional charge, tennis and volleyball courts or use if the running track which is free ( if there is no specific class taking place). In an ideal world the badminton if booked by a gym member would be free of charge rather than £15 an hour. Otherwise it is definitely a gym I would recommend
Hey James Green, thanks a ton for the lovely feedback! We're glad our classes and facilities met your expectations and appreciate your suggestion regarding the badminton fees. Looking forward to seeing you again soon for more of those awesome workouts!
Negative experience: 21/06/2024 rude and very annoyed lady who's part of the staff while speaking on the phone (with members) just for clarifications about facilities and sport booking, that place is getting worse
We're sorry to learn about your experience, Simone. It’s not what we aim for, and we sincerely apologise. We understand your frustration and are committed to making sure such situations don’t happen again. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
Fantastic experience: Friendly. well-run gym. The hours are perfect and the classes are low-key enough to be comfortable and stringent enough to be helpful.
Hello Paula! Thank you so much for sharing your positive feedback! We're delighted that you enjoy the hours and find the classes just right. We're excited to see you around and help with your fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: На удивление, замечательный клуб. В Кентербери , можно сказать , нет больше достойных мест в этом плане. Санитарные условия остальных клубов просто потрясают, все настолько грязно, что противно ходить заниматься , все время боишься что либо подцепить. Lifestyle достаточно приятен и чист, отличное кондиционирование, хорошее расположение, отзывчивый персонал. Весьма приятная публика, получаешь удовольствие от занятий там.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors, great equipment's, lots of classes to chose for the price you pay I've been a member here for almost 6 months and couldn't be happier. They have a fantastic schedule of classes – yoga, strength training, HIIT, you name it. The instructors truly care about helping you reach your goals. The equipment is always in good shape, there's ample parking, and you can't beat the price. If you're looking for a new gym, definitely check this place out!

Positive experience: Pros: Reasonably priced Generally friendly and welcoming members and not too serious atmosphere Access to studio, running track Great classes and instructors/ personal trainers such as Juan Cons: School kids sometimes invade en mass Cleanliness could be better but has recently improved Some equipment is dated Overall a very nice gym and friendly gym, would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Lovely instructors. Good classes.
Hi Michelle! A big thanks for your kind words about our instructors and classes. We're delighted to hear you’re having such a wonderful time with us. Looking forward to seeing you at your next session!
Positive experience: No problem with most of the facilities, but you can tell a lot about how much ab organisation cares about its service users from the state of the mens loos. I've seen worse, but there's pee all over the walls, and aggregated hand-slime on the walls. Why does nobody notice this and how many years has it been building up?
Hello! We truly apologise for the condition of the men's restrooms. Ensuring a clean and welcoming environment for our members is a top priority. We'll definitely address this and thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Fantastic experience: Although I haven't been to a gym in about 10 years and am very impressed with this one. Very well stocked with a wide variety of machines and an open mirrored space for casual use with classes are held there. Very easy to sign on. Minimal paperwork, a quick tour and you're ready to go. Friendly, enthusiastic and professional staff running a clean and well maintained gym.
We're so grateful for your glowing review! It's fantastic to hear that our gym setup and friendly staff have left such a positive impression on you. We're excited for you to continue your fitness journey with us after a decade away. See you around soon!

Fantastic experience: Decent gym, adequate facilities and equipment. Zoomers don't put their plates back.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and not too busy
Fantastic experience: Really lovely staff, facilities are pretty standard and membership isn't a bad price so can't complain
Fantastic experience: Food
Fantastic experience: This a good gym with lots of equipment. Kept clean and the staff are always helpful and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly stuff, clean. Feels safe, and they even have a separate small female only gym room. Equipment is in good condition and plenty of classes to sign up for. Changing rooms are clean with toilets, showers and lockers. Wending mashines downstairs and a cafe next door. Running track outside. Secure entranse to the gym with your fingerprints, so there's no need to ever worry about forgetting your pass. Personal Trainers awailable but they work as freelancers.
Fantastic experience: Célebre el cumpleaños de mi hija en el inflate play. Muy Bueno para divertirse
Positive experience: Staff PT's are really genuinely friendly.
Positive experience: Clean and good selection of workout and consultants to help you with your goals. Careful on weekends as space is often rented out for bouncy kid parties.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly environment, staff always helpful and it's very clean and easy to workout in.
Positive experience: OK but got very hot
Fantastic experience: Great facility and accommodating staff.
Fantastic experience: Very good staff good selection of equipment open space
Negative experience: Tried to cancel, have charged me for two months in a row. Haven't used their services for 6 months. Customer service don't want to do anything about it. Basic gym with basic stuff, nothing special.
Positive experience: Its a good place to get back into shape, and good equipment
Fantastic experience: Great place to train
Fantastic experience: All good and clean, a great gym.
Positive experience: It's a normal gym but be prepared to be competing with school kids doing their physical education class. I once wanted to use a machine but the PE teacher was sitting on it doing paper work while his teen class just played around the gym without supervision. Sometimes you cant use studio space because someone is using it for their A levels. So just be aware of this going in. Apart from that, it's an okay gym. Its spacious and staff are nice.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: 5* I highly recommend Lifestyle Fitness. Staff make you feel welcome from when you walk into the gym to when you walk out. Excellent variety of gym equipment and a good environment. Keep up the good work Lifestyle Fitness Canterbury!

Fantastic experience: Good gym .fantastic price
Fantastic experience: Fantastic range of equipment, running track, friendly staff and good security for the lockers. Amazing value for money. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Excellent cardio equipment and really friendly staff.
Negative experience: They extra charged you for no reason, a really shady company
Fantastic experience: Nice modern equipment
Positive experience: It is very good gym, quite and clean .. even changing rooms and showers are always clean. For me, I prefer to exercise at ladies studio, it will be perfect if you add bench and hyperextension there. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only negative point is the WiFi connection!!! It is really important, and I hope you will consider that soon!!!
Fantastic experience: Staff are very friendly and ready to help. Always clean and tidy!
Positive experience: the gym is awesome!! Friendly staff members, always nice and clean!!! and people put weights away, awesome!
Negative experience: Never visited
Fantastic experience: Big bycep
Negative experience: I'm a new member and whilst I like the set up - sofar I've been told I'm doing something wrong (which is fine I welcome help) then asked on several occasions to move by personal trainers so they can use the spot. Whilst I am learning gym manners and really should just stand up for myself, I find it both disruptive and annoying . Luckily I find sanctuary in the ladies room. So ladies room all the way from now!
Fantastic experience: Great track, great facilities
Fantastic experience: Good machines, great amount of free weights, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: There are numerous gyms available, I chose Lifestyle as it is a well laid out gym with plenty of cardio machines and a well equiped weight training section. There is also a female only room. Exercise classes and personal training are available. The staff are friendly and it's a very comfortable place to train.
Negative experience: It's ok. Decent facilities, reasonably priced and quite large, but not enough benches/space for free weights and too many cardio machines. Parking can be difficult sometimes. Gets busy in the evenings but usually pretty quiet at other times. Most of the clientele are ok but they are some thieves around so look after your valuables. Edit- dropping another star because they use Harlands Group to handle memberships. Just google Harlands Group to see why that's a bad thing.
Negative experience: You get want you pay for here. Called to cancel my account told they couldn't find my account and to go into the gym. Went in several times was told the person I needed to speak to wasn't there and to come back. When I got fed up with this and cancelled the Directed Debit was charged a bunch of fees. Avoid!
Positive experience: Maxines classes only for me thank u !! She's a
Fantastic experience: Gr8
Positive experience: Disappointing.
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms around I would say.. absolutely lovely facilities.. I've been training with Sam sterling.. who's a pt at the gym.. a top notch trainer.. who I would recommend anyone too use..
Positive experience: Run down fitness center
Positive experience: Just joined the gym, friendly, helpful staff. Clean gym. Ladies only fitness area! Good classes!
Negative experience: WORST GYM EVER!!!! TOO EXPENSIVE, VERY UNFRIENDLY STAFF AND A RIP OFF!! I have been a loyal customer for 4 years, and I always payed for the full year which cost me about £250 per year. After getting pregnant i decided not to go until after the baby was born. 4 months after i gave birth i decided to try and get my body back and my mum would help look after my baby, so i went back to LIFESTYLE FITNESS CANTERBURY. I asked for a no contract membership as i didnt know how my baby would cope having to stay without me for the time i would stay at the gym. They said that it would cost me £25 per month and id have to pay a registration fee which was another £25, it sounded too expensive to me and i tried to get a discount as i had been a loyal customer for so long. They didn't seem to care about me or my loyalty to them so they didn't even try ! LIFESTYLE FITNESS is the closest gym to my house and with a 4 months old my time was very limited so i didn't have much choice and i ended up paying the money. Anyway, i started going 2-3 times a week for about 1-2 hours a day, I managed to go for about six weeks, then my mum couldn't help me with the baby anymore as she started working. I then cancelled my monthly payments from my bank account without calling them or letting them know, (which was such a big mistake) I thought that a no contract membership means that you come and go whenever you like, and no one from their staff told me what to do in case i decided not to go anymore! Anyway i started getting threatening emails with ridiculous amounts of money i had to pay to them. I stopped going end of november so i hadn't been the gym for more than three months and they still wanted me to pay. I got an email on the 14th of march from the CRS saying that i owe £216.47 to the gym which is ridiculous. Called the gym and they said it is your fault you should've read our terms and condition and pretty much they didn't give a sh** about me. I was gettin so stressed out so i ended up paying the money as they wouldn't cooperate anyhow. I was getting so many emails from them threatening me that if i didn't pay, the amount would rise every month, so I didn't have a choice. THEY PRETTY MUCH RIPPED ME OFF THEY HAVE LOST TWO CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE (ME+HUSBAND) I AN VERY ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE, RUBBISH PLACE RUDE STAFF VERY UNFRIENDLY. PLEASE CHOOSE ONE GYM THAT CARES ABOUT YOU, AND MAKES YOU FEEL WELCOMED AND COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE FITNESS HASN'T GOT ANY OF THAT SO BE AWARE!!
Positive experience: Could do with some members of staff on gym floor engaging with customers. Any kind of contact with staff would be good. Place could also do with a good clean.
Positive experience: Not a lot to say, it was ok. Could be better, could be worse
Fantastic experience: So far I've only been in two gyms and this is the better one.
Positive experience: It's an ok gym for an ok price everything is average from the equipment, personal training to some of the customer service. Also it's attached to the high school so do with that information how you please.
Positive experience: Good gym and well priced but always busy and a nightmare at 3pm ish due to school
Fantastic experience: Best GYM I have been to but that is mainly because I prefer unpacked environments to work out. The membership price is not that bad and you get access to a variety of free workshops. They use a finger print scanner to gain access not too sure how conferable I am with them having my fingerprint. But it is definitely a great environment also students have a discount even though they don't advertise it very well. Promotion code: "studentm"
Fantastic experience: Enjoy the gym, it's good also if you would like to shower, and a ladies gym upstairs
Positive experience: Swimming and much more
Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff
Fantastic experience: Enjoying getting fit
Fantastic experience: Best Staff and wonderful for Badminton sessions.
Fantastic experience: First session here, George is a fantastic PT! At £20 a month you can't knock it for the amount of equipment here. You also get access to the running track.
Fantastic experience: A friendly atmosphere. With well trained staff. All for a great price.
Positive experience: Good facilities also home base of Invicta Running club... 2 amazing 100m sprinters based here !
Fantastic experience: Cool
Positive experience: Good gym facilities (weights, cables&machines) the only thing that is stopping me from giving this 4/5 stars is the staff they seem uninterested and don't maintain the place properly
Positive experience: Great gym with a wide variety of facilities and classes. Membership is also very cheap. Just missing a pool.
Negative experience: Being a semi-pro weight lifter and lover of the gym I joined up to lifestyle fitness with great expectations... these expectations were lowered the moment I walked in and communicated with the staff. I stuck it out for a few weeks but couldn't handle the poor customer care and think its really important that the staff in a gym need to be helpful and motivated to help there customers and not just take money out of accounts with no intentions of refunding them. Avoid .... Black Justice
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, usually not busy at all.
Positive experience: Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in the area. Not pretentious like DW and has all the equipment you need
Positive experience: Free day pass. Average equipment. Not enough benches for free weights and the gym gets easily crowded.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, facilities and always machines available!
