The 30 Best Exercise gym in Norwich

“Good golf, good food and good beer.”

“This five star review is for all the staff - management, cleaners, lifeguards and receptionists. Every contact is friendly and professional, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. We take our daughter swimming frequently, and on this one particular occasion, she was struggling after a hard day at school. Jane took the time to come over and see if she was alright. She was so empathic and kind. We feel lucky to have such an excellent gym with lovely staff on our doorstep. Thank you.”

“Overall one of the best health clubs in Norwich. Great facilities, top gym equipment, nice pool area. Management of the club has definitely improved, maintenance issues are now dealt with quickly. Staff very friendly, Abbie in sales was very helpful. Only issue seems to be short staffing at weekends in Kitchen/Bar.”

“Che looks after the entire pool area, sauna, steam room, changing rooms, and do all the chemical tests. It is always clean and organised! Thanks Che!”

“Kate, Charlotte and Sarah were amazing in helping me to get pregnant. The acupuncture, the reflexology, advice and care the whole team gave to us was brilliant. We called them our 'angels'. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“We booked a private session for two girls we work at our alternate provision. The instructor Rebecca was brilliant and the girls absolutely loved it thank you!”

“I cannot recommend Pandora and Aaron enough. They diagnosed my musician daughter’s medical condition and worked with her on a comprehensive exercise plan. When I strained my shoulder badly Active Clinic helped its repair with massage, pain relief and above all compassion. These guys are the best!”

“Lindsey was absolutely key to my recovery from a wrist fracture. She assessed, encouraged and understood my problems and the anatomical difficulties. Throughout treatment she was positive and clinically skilled demonstrating this through a very ‘hands on’ approach. I was relieved to be able to trust my rehabilitation throughout the process and would be happy to recommend both her and the clinic.”

“I have been visiting Proactive Therapies for many years now, with a variety of minor joint and muscle issues. I had seen both Heidi and Stephanie and always received an excellent service which has quickly solved the relevant issues. Recently I suffered an injury which after a visit to both A&E and GP was put down to a muscle spasm. However whilst suffering discomfort, I decided to visit Heidi to see what she could do to help. Very quickly she said she thought it was a slipped disc. I then sort out a consultant and arranged an MRI which confirmed Heidi’s diagnosis. This has led to a more efficient treatment plan and recovery. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“Our 4 year old daughter attends the Acro class with these lovely ladies. She absolutely loves it, they’ve just had their first performance today and it went fantastically, so many happy smiley children along with the smiling Teachers, an absolute joy. What an opportunity for the kids. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, my daughter loves going and adores her Teachers.”

“I was only dropping in but felt very welcomed and enjoyed the atmosphere of the gym for bjj. The class was well structured with drilling, positional and sparring to finish. The gym also has fantastic equipment for working out. Thank you Antoni for the class.”

“I have trained at the Blackbelt Academy for over 20 years alongside my children. We have achieved our Black Belts through the supportive tuition and care that we have received. It has been a life transforming experience, one that has helped us both physically and mentally. As important has been the connections we have made through the Academy, which we have found to be a very supportive and nurturing environment where people take the time to help each other. It has been a privilege to see the many people enter the doors of the Black Belt Academy and develop as people.”

“I love everything about hickling barn and love that they improve on the play area and keep it well maintained nice bit of shade in the morning so it's not too hot and well just love going there because its quite. The facilities and parking are excellent, I would really love to have my reception hear, think it's a wonderful location for a wedding.”

“Clean friendly environment, plenty of parking. Showers could be a little warmer !!”

“Amazing customer service from Karen the moment I checked in. Super friendly with such a warm welcome. The room was just lovely. Very clean, spacious and airy with a lovely view. The location is perfect, just a15 minute drive to Norwich town centre. The food was great and the spa was wonderful. Can’t fault this place. Highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be returning ❤️”

“Excellent service from Vires Velo, successfully achieving the rare combination of a professional and friendly approach. I have bought two bicycles here in the last few years and enjoyed the same enjoyable experience both times.”

“Good burger meals from bar, was nice venue for a bowling birthday party that my youngest son was invited to. Large car park and not too difficult to find. Friendly staff.”

“I had a lovely quiet swim and sauna.”

“Went here on a golf trip, amazing course, we all loved it The staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly, we asked for our set meal to be in the bar instead, they gave us 3 free tokens each for a main, dessert, side or drink. And when they forgot our sides they gave us a free round on the house. I’ve never been so amazed with the staff friendliness and kindness they gave us. We will be making this a yearly trip, greenkeeping staff and hospitality staff (especially Ryan and Louise) should be very proud.”

“Lovely experience this morning! Visited for my first time and was immediately offered a tour of the facilities, really friendly staff here and they seem to know all the regular gym and pool users. The guy who gave me a tour and helped me set up a membership was really lovely and helpful. Overall I instantly felt welcomed. The pool users are all very friendly and chatty. I love that there’s music in the pool so you’re not lost in the depths of your own thoughts while you swim, just focus on having a nice time!”

“Love coming here with my little boy. Perfect little pool to help raise his confidence and learn to swim. Staff are always friendly too”

“Well organised, v clean and wonderful friendly staff.”

“Multiple pools operating, gym good size and plenty of equipment. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice modern facility.”

“I use the Olympic-size swimming pool here, which is excellent and well maintained. At £6.70 a session, it’s perhaps on the pricier side, but the facilities are very good. My main gripe, however, is not with the venue but with some pool users. Please stop wearing perfume (or strong scents) in the pool. It’s unpleasant to smell and even taste while swimming. There’s a reason we’re asked to shower thoroughly before entering, it keeps the water clean and comfortable for everyone. I’d love to see this rule enforced more strictly. A gentle reminder from staff could make a big difference to the experience for all swimmers.”

“I recently visited with a Wellhub pass and Rachael was amazing at getting my membership set up, as well as walking me through how to use the facilities. Her patience and kindness really helped me to feel comfortable at the gym. I also really enjoyed the layout of the weights area - plenty of machines and availability.”

“I swim and do aqua size twice a week, my instructor at aqua is amazing, she explains what to do clearly and makes it a fun session. All staff are friendly and helpful.”

“Swim here at least 3 times a week and the pool and changing rooms are clean. Staff are constantly cleaning the shower areas and are really nice. Pool is a good size and very deep at one end.”

“Love this leisure centre, very welcoming, a wide variety of classes to attend, really well equipped gym. Staff are friendly, lovely Pools. Lots of free parking, very good value for money regarding memberships.”

“SUCH a great place to stay at. Convenient for the City. Comfortable rooms and good facilities. The Staff always welcome you whether it's your first visit or you've been many times. Looking forward to staying there again soon.”

“I've not been a member long and I've always thought it was a great place to come anyway but lately thongs have reached a new high. Gym is great, pool/ sauna/ steam room are EXCELLENT with the new changes and the general cleanliness and tidiness of the facility really stands out. Big thanks to Ant and the reception team for all they've done for me too.”
