Exercise programs in Manchester

“Newgate has been a second home to my dogs now for over 15 years. The team are truly exceptional and geniunely care for all the animals. On my last visit, Ludo cried with excitment when we arrived and ran in not to be seen until I collected him. He has his groom there too and Jenny does a fantastic job”

“My two lovely cats Rupert and Boo spent a 10 day holiday with Clare and her husband at The Luxury Cat Hotel Leigh, if you are looking for a cattery for your furry friends then look no further, this place is fantastic, I can't recommend enough other than they would be in safe hands”

“Emma is the best, she has been walking both our dogs for 5 years now. The dogs love her, they hear her van arriving and they run to the door super excited. Emma is someone reliable that we trust very much.”

“I wouldn't trust my Tilly with anyone else, she makes a fuss of her & makes her calm as she doesn't lime the dry side of her pamper session, Helen does a fantastic job, Tilly will see you soon, thanx again to Helen & her staff.xxx”

“My golden retriever Freya loved her visits to K9 Swim. She used to get so excited when we arrived and couldn't wait to get in the water. The staff were lovely and I will always remember her happy times there.”

“Marghe is a fabulous teacher and by the end of my lessons she became a great friend. Super supportive and patient. The Hilton was a great venue for the lessons as well!”

“Good community centre, excellent coffee morning each month,line dancing and music and movement weekly plus children's dance classes”

“Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.”

“Absolutely brilliant place. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent equipment. Love that both disabled and able bodied children can play happily together. One of our favourite activities”

“Steve, excellent could hardly walk or stand. Only needed 3 sessions, have no problems now not even little niggles. Highly recommend.”

“The Bowdon Rooms were amazing. Allison, Héléna, and the team were outstanding. Their attention to detail is second to none and we had nothing to worry about. From our first initial enquiry, right through to the wedding day itself Any questions we had were dealt with quickly. They put us at ease and let us enjoy the day. We couldn’t recommend The Bowdon Rooms enough for a wedding. A beautiful unique venue. Our guests were blown away, and we’ve had nothing but compliments since.”

“The most welcoming, friendly and fun studio in Manchester! The instructors are fantastic, supportive and work to your level in every class. The variety of classes on offer far outstrips any other studio in Manchester and they offer great value for money. Easily accessible, just 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, if you are looking to start out or to drop by and practice insane tricks, Polefire is without a doubt the best place to go!”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”

“I took my Mum who is 86 with Alzheimer's into G4 Physio while she was awaiting NHS physio to keep her strength up. She saw Ruairi and Jess on a number of occasions and they couldn't have been more kind, patient, understanding and imaginative in the exercises they were giving her to help her to understand what to do. It's improved her mobility and wellbeing and I'd highly recommend them. Thank you so much.”

“Really friendly gym, loads of great coaches and even better having a female black belt. Family-friendly atmosphere, would definitely recommend as myself and my son love it.”

“Paul is absolutely brilliant with dogs. He picks my bulldog up twice a week and she loves it. Mavis is 4 and a rescue who was wary of other dogs because she was just used for breeding and never mixed with other dogs but she is now running around with all the other dogs and loves it thanks to Paul. She loves him more then she loves me. Highly recommended”

“Really great for dogs walks , day care and boarding..the grooming salon is also amazing!! I would easily say the best in the area!!!”

“Amazing very vintage feel and amazing staff! Clean and very organised place love it here! Kids get support to swim and spoken to and also have loads of floats and toys! Brilliant love it here and cheap won’t cost an arm and a leg either!!!”

“Great Barbers. Never had to wait long as there is usually 3 barbers working. I've been coming here for 15 years and they do a great job!”

“Great place to climb. Set in an old church so plenty of hight to the walls. Great selection or roped climbs and lead routes. Some auto belays too. Bouldering and a gym there too. Drinks and some snack bars available and some climbing g essentials to buy. Welcoming staff and onside parking. Press the green button while pushing the door to get in from the car park.”

“Communication ahead of the party was excellent. The birthday party was brilliantly ran by the whole team and they were very accommodating with our last minute request to include a piñata.”

“We visited the shop today and were extremely happy with the service we received. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We went in for football boots and the owner gave my children tennis balls for free and even played 'football' with my son. It started to rain lightly when we were leaving and they even offered to lend us an umbrella. We will definitely go back again.”

“Just wanted to pass on some positive feedback. My daughter came for her first swimming lesson six weeks ago and got very upset about being in the water. Alex and Teagan have been absolutely fantastic at building up her confidence. They’ve shown such kindness and patience over the last six weeks and I’m so grateful. I’ve spoken to a friend whose daughter has swimming lessons elsewhere and she can’t believe the difference in the quality of lessons that we get from Aqua Seals.”

“Great football pitches, parking can be tight but there's also a school car park across the road from it.”

“Both of my girls have attended ACE since they were 4 years old. We’ve been part of the ACE family from the day they opened their doors and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Alice is an incredible coach who shares her love and devotion for gymnastics to every single child. The classes are tailored to the child’s ability, they are always fun and filled with enthusiasm. Alicia has helped my children confidence grow both inside and outside of the gym and I could never thank her enough for being part of their childhood journey.”

“This is a great place to do gymnastics and have fun you learn a lot and I think this is an amazing gymnasium”

“I cannot recommend Dogz Club enough! We got our little Dachshund just as we entered the first lockdown, so there was inevitable anxiety around a lack of socialising, but DC has ensured our pup is so confident and happy around other dogs. The staff are so attentive and update me with honest feedback whenever I ask for it. The picture/video updates during the day of all the dogs having fun, regular themed parties throughout the year and goody bags are all examples of extra touches which makes this such a great day-care. Thank you to the whole team!xxxx”

“Our cat Tilly, always stays here when we go away. Exceptionally friendly staff and the individual 'rooms' the cats stay in are very clean and have little doors which lead to a small outside space. Reasonably priced too. Wouldn't even consider putting Tilly anywhere else.”

“Absolutely love Strinesdale foot paths and 2 large Reservoir's that allow fishing. It also has free parking and is that vast of a space you can walk round it and not bump in to anyone. Strinesdale also has a few picnic areas and amazing views out to the Pennines. There are 3 different routes you can take for that casual stroll or if you are looking to explore of the beat and track you can end up right in the hills and come out at a little farm house. All in all this is one of my favourite places to walk my dog and would recommend it to anyone.”

“17th March 2025. Had a desperate need to use the facilities at Woodhouse Park Lifestyle Centre at Wythenshawe. Had a very warm welcome, from Michaela, Danielle and Sally. They explained to me about the centre and the services they offer and I was quite impressed. I could see they were working there hoping to make a difference, and I could see it was working. Worth a visit to see what is on offer, you will be very welcome. Keep up the good work girls x”
