“We really appreciated being welcomed in to watch a training session. The facilities are great – clean, well-organized, and clearly run with professionalism and passion. Thank you for the hospitality!”

“I absolutely love the village gym, all the staff make you feel so welcome, and the atmosphere is great, also I have been having PT sessions with Lee, this knowledge is second to none and I really enjoy the sessions, also helps that he’s a city fan”

“I took my 8-year old boy for boxing lessons. The class is amazing, great atmosphere, great training and my son absolutely loves it.”

“I’ve been a member at Village Gym Cheadle for about three months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. The facilities are excellent everything from the gym floor to the pool area is modern, clean, and well-maintained. The team there are excellent, from the friendly reception staff who always greet you with a smile, to the personal trainers who are approachable and knowledgeable, everyone genuinely seems to care about helping members feel welcome and supported. I’m already seeing the benefits of being part of such a positive and professional gym environment. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym with great facilities, a friendly atmosphere, and a real community feel!”

“A great gym for all levels, with some really high level players here. I was welcomed by Kam, who is a down to earth, approachable coach, with a fantastic teaching style that makes martial arts accessible for everyone.”

“Absolutely nice place to exercise or enjoy swimming. The facility is new and very clear. Only thing is they don't have swimsuit dryer.”

“I only use the sauna and the steam cabin usually (when I have time for a visit), but far the best of all Village Gyms in Manchester, even if this is a bit smaller. Nice and calm atmosphere and very kind staff.”

“I went for a gait analysis today at runners need, we just turned up not realising they did actually have an appointment system, their next appointment wasn’t until later that day and the shop wasn’t busy at the time we went in so the guy happily did the gait analysis. I have never had one before and wasn’t sure what to expect apart from running on a treadmill, the guy who did the analysis was very knowledgeable and very thorough, he was very helpful and I felt confident he knew what he was talking about and felt confident enough to take his advice!! As it turns out I have been running in shoes that are 1.5 sizes too small, hence all the problems I have been having! I wanted to leave this review as there are so many bad ones and had I read these before I probably wouldn’t have gone there. Don’t be put off by all the bad reviews!!!”

“Ami Gibbs was amazing with me in the gym. I applied for a free day pass online and came into the gym and Ami showed me around the facilities. She was super helpful and friendly and made me really comfortable and the gym and pool area was amazing. Will definitely be looking to join once I’m back from travelling.”

“Amazing! The best thing we ever did was join here. The facilities and classes are brilliant. Changing rooms are new and clean. The staff are very friendly, approachable and helpful. Special mentions to Ellie who showed us around and signed us up, Connor who is always a friendly face and happy to help in any way he can and Paul in the clubhouse who all make us feel so welcome and at ease every time we come to the club. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are very professional in all they do and friendly and chatty at the same time. A lovely club with good energy from all the staff and a happy relaxed atmosphere.”

“Really great environment! Fantastic classes, trainers are unbelieve! My wife loves classes which is a huge bonus, giving me more of an excuse to go down!”

“After having knee surgery at the Spire, Ankit was my phsyio.He put a number of programs together to help with my recovery. The way he has helped me has been amazing. My recovery started slowly but thanks to Ankit im now on the road to a good recovery and I am able to do alot more. Thank you for all your help and support.”

“Excellent facilities and very helpful staff”

“I purchased one of the treadmills on Tuesday and this arrived on the Friday. Downfall I was not contacted to let me know what the delivery would be or given any tracking details. I have built this up with the kids and for us this is perfect does what it’s made for. We spent our first evening on this non stop. Good value for money.”

“Corner HQ was an amazing experience, I went for an open gym session and was wowed by the facilities and lovely staff members. The wristbands are such a cool element to the session and the whole app experience is great! If I come back to Manchester I will definitely be coming by again!”

“Booked a slot this morning at Peloton in John Lewis Cheadle with Hannah to learn about the Peloton bike in more detail. Hannah was fantastic at explaining the bike and app and spending over an hour answering my questions. I never felt any pressure to purchase and left the store to think about it. I ended up walking back in half and hour later to order my bike. Exceptional customer service and support!”

“I am truly impressed by the great customer service! The email responses take a very little time to arrive, and are very supportive. Paul was outstanding in helping out to sort the postage issues. The refund for some items has been processed quickly and I have been well informed of what is happening at every stage - from pre-ordering until closing down the refunds. I am truly grateful and will definitely recommend the gr8fencing. Prices are pocket-friendly, too! The same items in a different store, with 10% discount, would still cost us nearly £30 more than the final order placed with Gr8fencing! The items have been shipped and delivered quickly. They are of great quality and fit well (we have bought the fencing mask and trousers for the first time, online, based on sizing given on the website - perfect fit!). I truly recommend the gr8sports to anyone :-)”

“I came here a couple days ago and met Alan. He was absolutely amazing, addressed my issues within minutes and was immediately on my recovery. Lovely man, absolute gem. Made me feel very comfortable for my first sports massage. I will 100% be back to seen Alan.”

“I've been to a lot of different classes here over the years, and the teaching quality has always been great. They've got a ton of nice equipment (which they keep *very* clean), and lessons are always well planned out to challenge each person in the class. I've also done occasional private lessons to work on specific goals, and they've been really helpful each time. The instructors are friendly and approachable, and I'd absolutely recommend Bodybarre to people at any level of fitness. Lots of fun to be had!”

“I had a problem with my neck and shoulder that was causing me a lot of debilitating pain. I booked into Marple Physio with Liz and I have to say that the treatment I received was first class. With Liz’s expert advice, magic hands and wisdom, in just a handful of sessions the pain and problem were no more. Following on from this treatment Liz recommended I try regular back, neck and shoulder massages to help prevent the problem reoccurring. She recommended Maria. Oh my days, Maria’s massages are beyond fantastic! I really look forward to the appointments and can definitely recommend them. I would without doubt recommend Marple Physio, the service is outstanding. Thank you so much Liz and Maria.”

“Ive been going to this gym for over a year now. I first started when i was 6 months postpartum and from my first session to my last, i have loved every single one. I first started having one to one training with kate who helped me rebuild muscle and recover from having an emergency csection. Not only did kate help me with physical training but she also helped me with my diet and helped me make life long changes that will help with my weight and to make me stronger and healthier. Then i started going to the mums and babies classes on Wednesdays.the coaches and the owner Jay always make so much effort to keep my little one busy whilst i work out. They bring in different health professionals for the classes that educate us on postpartum recovery which has been great. The gym is always spotless clean and always feels like a safe space which i love because my daughter loves adventuring round the gym. I love the friendly environment of the gym and can not recommend it enough.”
