“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!”

“Just got back from an overnight stay with my 8 year old autistic son. My sons special interest is vehicles of any description, I mentioned this when booking the room and asked if we could possibly be overlooking either a road or train station. Our room was perfect, he was blown away, we could see trains, trams, buses cars the whole shabang! The staff were all phenomenal, friendly, helpful, understanding of my son and his needs, nothing has been too much trouble. We enjoyed the pool, had room service and ate at the breakfast buffet. All fantastic. I would recommend this hotel, the staff and location are perfect.”

“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 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!!!”

“I went to Oxygen Manchester for a viewing. Honestly, it is one of the amazing places in Manchester from the first moment when you walk in the Receptionist they welcomed us with a smile after that we met Osman Nazar from ACL Lettings he welcomed us and showed us the flat and all the facilities, he was honest with us and helped us through the whole process and I appreciate all his efforts and the support he gave to us. Unlike other agenciesI found that with ACL it was easy to get an appointment and to proceed with the viewing. Osman he did a greart job, he was very professional with us and we felt comfortable in our viewing with no rushing unfortunately like other agencies. I loved all the facilities especially the swimming pool, gym everything was very clean and spotless. I liked the fact that they try their best to give you the best experience while you are staying there.”

“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.”

“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.”

“instructor has a professional and huge knowledgeable experience teaching classes”

“You can do kendo with nice people. I can feel respect and caring.”

“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!”

“Great place to swim! The Manchester Aquatics Centre is always tidy, the pools are in great condition, and it’s excellent value compared to other gyms. Big shout-out to Martin, his kindness and willingness to help with anything really stand out. Staff like him make a huge difference.”

“We booked Circus Sensible for a party of 75 girls and the performers wowed with their magic tricks and stunts! The children then loved trying their hand at juggling, spinning plates, twirling Chinese Diabolo, walking on mini stilts, and even balancing peacock feathers on their fingertips! I'd definitely hire the Circus Sensible team again and recommend them to anyone looking for a unique party experience."”

“I would recommend this place to everyone. I've been going for around 4 years and my daughter has been attending the children's classes for almost 2 years. Both of us love going to our classes and I have made some friends for life. Everyone is so welcoming, there's no need to feel shy at all.”

“Great shop with a great selection of nutrition supplements and different flavour, protein products, and much more. I have had a couple of No-Gi grappling kits off Sam and wrestling boots all top quality fight wear.”

“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!”

“Bought a range of Airofin items (jersey/winter jersey/bib leggins/bib shorts) for cycling as I was in need of some new gear. Really pleased with all of it. Good prices but still a step up from the standard dhb gear. The jacket is the perfect length but not at all baggy and the bib shorts are much more comfortable than my last pair as the padding covers a bigger area. Overall really pleased with this gear. Would recommend. Some really good discounts on the website right now also.”

“Excellent service. Responded when I asked for assistance with sizing. Good quality product and dispatched promptly. Very satisfied and I would use the company again.”
