The 30 Best Free weights in Manchester

“Great old school gym. Friendly atmosphere.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I don’t even know where to start and words will never describe how much Toni helped me in my life. Being a therapist by myself is amazing but sometimes we forget how so important is to stay so tuned with out self and life situation, relation ships , stress and situation from day to day to life can weaken and suppressed our self. Often we are so busy and many times we forget how essential is to take care about our mind too. We will reach the point , where seek for help is the best choice so we can come back stronger then before and shine like stars fully again. Toni was the only person who truly helped with the root cause of my eating disorder and I will be forever grateful for that. If you ever feel down or even lost In Life, you are facing life situation, battling addiction or facing fears This is the best person who help you build your inner self , bring it back and shine. Because we all have been born to feel the best. Wish you all the best and endless happy customers as me. Love M”

“Had the nicest dinner here, best thing it was plant based. Everything on the menu is plant based so no concerns. Would highly recommend eating here.”

“I have been coming to Etherow for physio following a serious knee operation. I cannot rate the treatment highly enough! From the start Andrew was so committed to my recovery and each session we were able to make progress. Monitoring each time was also really motivational. Andrew tailored my sessions and always considered how I was feeling. Both Andrew and Julie were flexible with my bookings when possible which I really appreciated and always gave me a warm welcome. I knew I was in great hands at Etherow, thank you!”

“I had my first Thai boxing class there tonight and as a female I was very nervous. I can honestly say I have never felt so encouraged. They stepped up and didn’t let me quit, it was extremely empowering and I am very thankful. I will definitely be back!”

“Joined a couple of months ago and have started attending more regularly over the past couple of weeks. Couldn't meet a friendlier group of people, coaches and students a like. Everyones eager to help and supports development through banter and friendly guidance. Such a stark contrast to other gyms, which stopped me pursuing MMA in the past.”

“I decided to try hypnotherapy due to anxiety and chronic pain. Initially, I was sceptical about whether It would be for me. However, Jackie was very welcoming and explained how hypnotherapy worked. Jackie sent me a recording that helps me to fall asleep at night and the session also includes some meditation. Hypnotherapy has been invaluable in helping me to relax and to steer my attention away from the pain. I would highly recommend Jackie who has a wealth of experience.”

“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.”

“Great Team, providing everything promised and more in anticipation of overcoming an injury whilst progressing to preparation for the demands of a full ski season. A focused and tailored overall solution , many thanks to Emma , Hanya , Leah and Ben ...... truly brilliant and highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Cycling past and spotted this little cafe. A really nice welcome and cappuccinos, hot chocolate and filter coffee was ordered. The young girl did a great job making the drinks and presentation was second to none. A very nice place will visit again.”

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

“Great vets, always look after our pets brilliantly”

“I absolutely love this place. First visited 20 +years ago when they first opened and I lived in Manchester. I now live up North near Penrith so it’s a treat when I get to visit and I feel like a kid in a sweet shop… The selection is incredible, the price are good, presentation is beautiful. Quality is top notch… staff are lovely I only wish we had a place like this up north and I could visit everyday!!!”

“Been to this place many times over the years as my kids have learned to swim here. The staff are friendly and helpfull and the facilties, especially the pool are excellent.”

“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.”

“The staff at vets4pets are so understanding and told me the right thing to do for my doggy and showed so much empathy. Couldn't recommend more. Here's my doggy.”

“Excellant cafe lovely staff and food cooked fresh and hot and great price 10 of 10”

“Easy to get to. It's Philips school. Son had a basketball match here, floor is concrete though. Ouch”

“Great centre, staff really helpful, clean. Classes amazing.”

“I'm a big fan of sports and leisure centres, and I've been to a few in my time. But I have to say that New Hall Village Sports and Leisure Centre is one of the best I've ever been to. It's got everything you could possibly want in a sports and leisure centre, and more. The facilities are top-notch. There is ample parking available. But what really makes it stand out is the staff. They're all really friendly and helpful, and they're always happy to answer any questions you have. They also make a real effort to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, which is something I really appreciate. Overall, I would highly recommend”

“I used to live in Glossop, at a time when the Raj Gourmet brought something completely new to local curries. Every time I go back I hope it won't have lost its magic. All the curries here are completely different, so I can never decide and usually go for two very different dishes. Tonight I went for prawn pathia, chicken moglai, mushroom rice, and paratha. The pathia has lots of slivers of green chillis - eat them and it's deliciously vindaloo strength, leave them and it' a really good, rich sweet & sour curry. The moglai is smooth, indulgent, and nutty without the annoying sweetness of lots of similar curries. (The portions are still huge, so I'll be eating this tomorrow too). How they've managed to sustain the quality without increasing the prices, I don't know, but I love this place.”

“Excellent sports facilities mainly focussed around football and always enjoyable to visit.”

“I would not hesitate in recommending this vets. The entire team; reception, nurses, vet and cleaner are all very friendly and helpful. I had a concern regarding my dog, I was given an appointment straight away and after speaking to the vet blood test were recommended. The vet nurse gave me the option to wait if I wanted for the results. Within 25 mins I had the results. Thankfully my dogs results were fine and I cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind you gave me for processing these results so quickly rather than having to wait days.”
