I've been to multiple gyms in Wigan and Fitness First is the only one that has a stiff bar appropriate for powerlifting. The barbell at most other gyms is the weightlifting one, which bends too much. Their benches are pretty decent as well for bench press. And the staff were patient to help me sort out my payment issues.
Amazing gym. Staff are so friendly and helpful, customers the same. The gym’s always spotless and any repairs are taken care of quickly. Would highly recommend.
I really like this gym, the staff are really friendly and helpful. The classes are really good and really accommodating if you are a new member just getting into the gym. Everything from the main floor to the changing rooms are always super clean
I’ve been coming to the Zumba class here with instructor Amanda for about 1 year now and it’s so much fun. Really energetic, good dance routines and Amanda is fabulous! She’s very welcoming, friendly and absolutely hilarious. Great way to keep fit and you’ll have a best time whilst burning calories, bonus!
Excellent gym, would highly recommend. All staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. On my day pass I was greeted by Alicia Jones who was a great help with everything, she carried a warm smile that never left her face, Looking forward to joining.
A really friendly gym, the staff are always available if you need any help. Nics classes are brilliant and he makes them varied and fun. The selection of cardio machines, free weights and machines means you’re not often waiting to use any of the equipment. The changing rooms are big and always clean.
Nic and Alicia who were on the reception this morning were so helpful and welcoming, they instantly made me feel settled which set me up for an amazing workout with the high quality equipment provided in the gym. You can straight away see how much the staff care for the members, can't fault any of them at all. Everywhere was also really clean. Really would recommend this gym to anyone.
The staff are great at the gym. The gym had a part refit last year but the swimming area just had a cover up. This area has been lacking. A jacuzzi that is 25 years old and is constantly breaking down or cold which I have complained about for 6 months. On Saturday the pool, jacuzzi and steam room have been closed down with no date of reopening. These are the only things I use every day. Fitness First head office need to replace the jacuzzi which they should have done a year ago and fix the heating issue once and for all. I am on a 12 month if things don’t change I will need to leave. Fingers crossed they do. All I here is people thinking of doing the same.
Overall this is a good gym. Great selection of cv equipment and free weights. Not many kettle bells though. The Gym is well lit but tv channel selection is a turn off why are they there? Use them or lose them? I don't want to watch antique road show on a work out for example. The changing rooms though are a big let down especially shower area. No spin dryer, and they just feel dull and damp. Not as clean as total fitness. Finally no cafe would love to have a protein meal after and a sit down.
Best gym in Wigan and with the recent major refurbishment it is the place to be! Staff are great and would highly recommend 5 stars!
