The 30 Best Exercise gym in United Kingdom

“I decided finally to make a change and improve my health and fitness. Dave and his team are amazing. They have been so supportive and encouraging helping me to make positive changes. As a personal trainer Dave is helping me in stages to realise what I can do, not what I can't. For a novice I think that the gym is perfect, a good size; not too big and very welcoming. We are working to preparing a workout and health plan for my own needs which I am looking forward to. The equipment I've used so far is amazing and well laid out. I am looking forward to Cleanliness and COVID procedures are very reassuring. The team, the gym, and location for me are perfect. Thoroughly recommend.”

“"I've been a member of Nuffield Health Milngavie Fitness & Wellbeing Gym for a while now, and I must say, it's an exceptional facility. The staff are friendly and helpful, always willing to lend a hand or offer advice. The gym is well-equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, and the group fitness classes are fantastic. The real highlight, though, is the racquets section. With five indoor carpet courts, four outdoor artificial clay courts, and a fully indoor padel court, it's a haven for tennis and padel enthusiasts. The junior tennis coaching program is also top-notch, with expert coaches guiding kids through various stages of development. The facilities are impeccably maintained, and the café serves great coffee and food. I've had some wonderful experiences with the staff, particularly Jayden and Ruaridh, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Overall, I highly recommend Nuffield Health Milngavie Fitness & Wellbeing Gym to anyone looking for a comprehensive fitness experience. It's a bit pricey, but trust me, it's worth every penny!”

“Solid gym has everything you need and more. Better than other better gyms because of better machines and higher quality plates”

“I’ve been a member at Nuffield for over two years now, and the experience has been consistently positive. The gym is well-maintained, clean, and never feels overly crowded, even during peak hours. What really stands out is the staff — friendly, professional, and always willing to help. I’ve been doing personal training here for almost a year. The sessions are well-structured, tailored to my goals, and have helped me stay motivated and consistent. If you’re looking for a supportive environment and quality coaching, this gym delivers.”

“Great gym, l really enjoy my sessions here. I love the spin classes and am really pleased to see all the new bikes which has taken my favourite classes a notch up. The staff are so friendly and helpful it's definitely my happy place.”

“I’ve really enjoyed my experience at Nuffield Health in Harrogate. The gym offers a great range of equipment. Staff are friendly and professional, and the overall environment feels clean, welcoming. Having free parking is also a big plus.”

“Fantastic indoor climbing and great gym. Staff super friendly. I will definitely go back in my next visit to Edinburgh!”

“Good golf, good food and good beer.”

“I recently discovered the Nuffield Health Centre in Hull and was amazed that such a great facility was right here. The gym is well equipped, the swimming pool is clean and perfect for both exercise and relaxation, and the tennis courts are a brilliant bonus. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I honestly didn’t know this place existed in Hull – it really feels like a hidden gem for health and fitness. Highly recommended!”

“This review is for the sports hall, which I and my friends attend for badminton on Wednesday evenings. Staff are friendly and always happy to help. Chairs and benches are available at request if they are not already out. It has changing facilities as well as a water fountain. Snacks are available from vending machines. There is a viewing gallery with chairs and tables also. The actual gym is not something I have used but can be seen from the car park as you walk to the entrance and a number of machines for use can be seen.”

“Really enjoy the fun swim. It's a small quite pool so great for the kids to play and feel secure. There's an hour fun swim sat and sun. Changing rooms are ok and the showers warm.”

“I have been a member for nearly a year now and I love Tai Chi with Kay, she is lovely and very encouraging, my balance has improved. Street dance with Rich is also one of my favourite classes, he is energetic and entertaining and it is an excellent class for improving my aerobic and anaerobic capability. The last class I can't live without is Yoga, my flexibility has improved so much, and getting up off the floor is so much easier, thank you Emma great job”

“The gym at Cardiff International Pool and Gym has a really relaxed vibe with plenty of space to work out. Classes are great and the members very welcoming to newcomers. Special shout out to David Thatcher, one of the Personal Trainers. Although I know my way around gyms, I wanted to take my fitness to the next level and have purchased some sessions to help me achieve my goals. David has been helping me find muscles and strength that I did not know that I had. He also keeps me entertained during the session, and the time really does fly when you are counting reps! I highly encourage anyone wanting to reach new fitness goals to purchase some sessions with David.”

“Nuffield gym is my go to when I visit family in Baildon. Great gym and facilities. The best thing about the place however, is the team. I have met Charlotte & Louise. They do an amazing job of running a busy front of house whilst always being friendly, polite and professional. I look forward to visiting again soon.”

“Great gym, great staff. Everyone is friendly and it welcomes all (no matter what age or ability). Fantastic pool and gym equipment, all maintained to a high standard. Reception staff are always helpful (especially Sam who helped me locate my Phone when I forgot it in the changing rooms once !). Highly recommended”

“I love this place. I've been coming here since its Cannons days 20 years ago. Some of the staff from then are still here and they are all lovely, friendly, fun, helpful, supportive. Kay is quite new, but she is the best! Tim's Spinning classes are SO motivating! And Tyrell's Combat is a killer but so much fun they are worth the hard work! Why don't you do food though? A nice healthy meal after Spinning or Combat would go down a treat.”

“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.”

“I’ve been a member of this club for many years. It’s great. I love the classes, particularly Body pump, balance and combat All of the instructors are great. In fact all the staff are friendly and helpful. The changing rooms and pool area are clean and well maintained. Highly recommend”

“LOVE THIS GYM! No matter what time you go it's never crazy busy so you can always get on the machines, everyone is so lovely and friendly. Also so clean and hygienic. Best gym around!! A big shout out to Stephen and Frankie - make you feel so welcome.”

“I paid for a two week pass at Nuffield Chichester while I was in town visiting family. I couldn't have been made more welcome by staff and members. I swum every day and found everyone using the facility accommodating, generous, and friendly. The lanes are wide enough to share easily and the sauna and steam room, showers and changing area, gym and reception were always clean (or being cleaned) and user friendly. Thank you so much. I will be back next time I am in town.”

“Pool temperature & atmosphere is lovely, the separate male / female saunas are a lovely touch. Plenty of class options , the gym is never too busy , I am always able to use the equipment I want/need. Being able to grab a decent coffee is also a win. Staff are polite & attentive.”

“Been a member for many years & have made some good friends. There's usually an instructor available in the gym & the receptionists do their best to answer any queries. Sian is a lovely person who is very patient when serving drinks to a crowd! The only downside is when there are several machines out of action at the same time!”

“I’ve been coming here for 3-4 months now and really enjoy it. The pool is lovely and so is the gym. The lifeguards are very helpful, and in particular Bradley is very friendly, he cleans quite a lot to keep the pool up to standard and has been very helpful when necessary. PT Kat is also very helpful too and is a great PT. I would rate Nuffield 5/5 stars, I really enjoy it.”

“Staff on reception are super sweet and welcoming. The gym is kept to a great hygiene standard and everything is easy to navigate. I would recommend this gym over others, no waiting about for machines, great pool and sauna.”

“Jess is a fantastic aqua instructor. It's sometimes hard to get onto her classes or even to join the waiting list as they are so popular. When you manage it though, you know you're going to have a fun time and a great workout mentally and physically. Jess demonstrates the actions clearly, with great humour and enthusiasm and varies the music and the activities in her classes. Exercising in water with Jess is one of my favourite activities at the gym. She's amazing.”

“I used thecswimming pool only in the gym for privat lesson for my doughter as the public pool is always filled and crowded and the teacher can not give my doughter her time for the lesson and see what she is doing.”

“Love this gym and since Everlast have taken over its just gotten so much better than when DW ran it (terrible before), new makeover for the gym had me a bit sad it was closed for a while but honestly it looks amazing now its been done, tons of new machines with wireless charging which is great for music. Great Gym and Great Staff at an amazing price - cheers guys & gals”

“Smashing gym. I’ve been a member for a number of years now and have always found the staff excellent especially the receptionist, big shout out to Gill who is always pleasant and welcoming with a big smile and cheerful hello. The changing area and toilets are always clean and well maintained. The personal trainer Steph who works with us is fabulous . I have also made use of the on site physiotherapist again excellent, at the end of a work out it’s nice to relax in the cafe and enjoy a bite to eat and a coffee. which I suppose explains why I have been a member for so long.”

“Kaye Howick (Swim Manager) has taught both my children at weekly swimming lessons for over a year. Her calm, proffesional, friendly nature has been really appreciated and both children love her lessons. I would recommend these lessons to any parent.”

“Clean luxurious warm and welcoming. Top notch free weights and other equipment with plenty of space and variety. Highly recommended for training and then relaxing in the sauna steam room and pool.”
