Extremely disappointed with the trainer Marco, it started off alright but he kept cancelling the…read moresessions and seemed struggled to manage his timings. At times I had to wait outside his private gym in cold as he was easily 5 to 10 minutes late and not very professional about it and showing little to no care attitude, once even he cancelled the session in the last minute when I was waiting out side his gym and waiting for him to let me in and only then I received a text that he is out of town and couldn't inform me before as his mobile battery was low, he told me this in a very unapologetic and as unprofessional way as possible. I had a plan for a holiday which i discussed with Marco from the very beginning and in the end he told me that lots of sessions has been missed because of my holiday plan. I still have two session left with him which I wanted to have a refund for as I was literally feeling not motivated because of Marco's work ethic and also there was no contract signed, and he told me that he wont refund any money, instead asked more money to book more sessions with him. Extremely unprofessional attitude overall and seemed unconcerned about the clients progress and motivation. If anyone wants to waste money and lose any motivation then definitely Marco is your guy.

Been a member of this gym for a few months now. I was previously member of LA Fitness. I only left…read moreLA Fitness as membership expired and instead of renewing, decided it was time for a change. Nothing wrong with LA Fitness. Pure Gym has benefits that it's pretty cheap and open 24 hours. Also it's bigger than LA Fitness so almost always able to get on treadmill. It lacks the personal touch though since u join online. None of the members of staff have ever said Hi. That's what I miss from LA Fitness. Staff would say hello now and then and being a smaller gym, got to recognise other members who went at similar times and say hi etc Not done any classes or even induction yet. As a member u do have various offers like money off hair cuts from certain places.

I have been trying to lose weight for the past few years with no success. So panicked was I, that I…read moredecided to join the gym. Although I felt fitter, I had no success in weight loss. I have been approached by many personal trainers and have even booked appointments only for them to cancel them and then blow me off! So I was wary when Harry approached me. Once he started talking I had no reason to be! Harry is extremely honest and hardworking. Most personal trainers don't even look at you properly but Harry is with you every step of the way. He is focused and has a step by step approach, starting from what you can do then slowly making exercises that much harder. He is extremely flexible and is more than happy to work around your daily routines. Don't be scared by his focused attitude, he does have a sense of humour and is extremely amicable, as I've witness from his amusing jibes that I'm giving him a workout rather than he giving me one, where our preliminary exercises are concerned! Harry is extremely knowledgeable where diet is concerned and was quick to put mine on its head and lead me in the right direction. I am extremely lucky that Harry approached me because he gave me the guidance and help I needed and still need to reach my goal. I don't see Harry as a personal trainer more as a friend that pushes me and recharges my optimism by egging me on to push my limits. He is also very considerate and is always concerned for my welfare. As I've said if you want to lose or certain amount of weight, want to tone up or just want to be fitter but don't know where to start or need guidance Harry Pointon is your man!

After being a member here for a good while now I can certainly recommend it…read more Situated within The Printworks, this gym and fitness centre is a stones throw from both where I work AND where I live. Excellent. It is a very large gym with all the usual equipment you'd find and a great exercise space for free weights and routine gym work. When you join you get a complimentary health MOT - a 12 point health inspection that covers every aspect of your fitness you can think of. It definitely gives you the motivation to keep going, especially if the results deem you quite unfit, as they did for me :/ The pool and sauna / steam room / spa are excellent and usually quiet and the changing rooms and shower facilities are state of the art and very well maintained. There are personal trainers wandering around the gym most of the time, so it's really easy to grab them for advice or even book them for a PT session. Classes also run daily and are included in the membership. I can't fault this gym.

So this was Holmes Place health club. Then Virgin Active. And now it's Nuffield out with the red…read moreand in with the green. So some staff have hung on in there from both clubs before but nice to see some fresh faces. There has been quite a lot of cosmetic change. Much needed shower refurb. Some new equipment. And better use of the space. They have also developed a new health and fitness centre where you can get MOT done and check you're still alive lol. I also think they have listened to us old timers or loyal members as we like to be known. And they have introduced the coffee shop with juices and healthy snacks and for the city centre it's very reasonably priced. I like the vibe. And the atmosphere. No offence To Virgin but it's less electronic tag and more cooperate membership now!

Sienna Spa is the Spa and Health Club found within the Radisson Edwardian, Manchester. Built on the…read moresite of historic barrel vaults, this inner sanctuary has a sense or calm and stillness far removed from busy city life. If you want luxury, pampering and fitness - then this is your place. The spa and health club are never packed full and on numerous occasions I have had the swimming pool to myself. The pool is 1.4m deep and approximately 15 x 10 metres. There is a chill out area surrounding the pool, along with a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The gym offers a good range of equipment, including two running machines, three cross trainers, four bikes, one rowing machine, two weights machines and more. There is also a weights room for those wanting to focus! After exercising, the changing rooms have powerful hot showers with Gilchrist and Soames shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Also great hairdressers and straightners for the ladies! Want some pampering? There are various packages - a day or couple of hours etc. Facials and massages tried and tested - and I would highly recommend them. If you go for the Premier club (gym, pool, sauna etc) membership you get a complimentary spa treatments per month - so cool! Lush green apples are beautifully displayed for you to munch on after exercising or your pampering session and two choices of newspapers to read as you chill out. Cost wise - pretty good value for what you get. Love it love it!

From the outside the Y Club looks an idyllic gym. Situated literally on the picturesque canal at…read morethe start of Castlefield, a 5 minute stroll from Deansgate, it looks like a posh gym for young professionals. The lovely little swimming pool is visible from the canal itself. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered it was relatively cheap, especially compared to gym groups such as Virgin Active or Fitness First. You can also avoid a contract and sign up for as little as 2 weeks, and it works out at around a pound per day. So alls well so far. Then i went inside. I think the point about the gym not really being for girls is valid, though I think lots of men should be added to that list too, as its only really suitable for bodybuilders who love dingy spaces as seen in American boxing films. Its small and dark, and pretty damp. Basically its no good. Its got all the equipment you need so if you want somewhere to go for just a couple of weeks then it serves a purpose, but its nowhere near as nice as it looks outside, and there are some better value gyms out there, so if it's a longer term membership you're after, give this place a miss.

the best decisions I made for my health and fitness. I was already a relatively active person but I…read morewas curious to see what I'd gain from a personal trainer. From research, Ben looked like one of the top reviewed trainers in Manchester yet very reasonably priced. I have learned so much in the 18 months I've been training with him. Ben focuses on weight training - the area of the gym I used to shy away from! - but as well as an instructor you effectively get a nutritionist, life coach, and all round lovey guy! He somehow manages to make every lesson enjoyable, and the learning I've gained on diet and wellness will stay with me throughout life. I do both single and double lessons with my partner - I really enjoy both types. Having rarely done weight training before Ben (I pretty much only did cardio) I will also admit I was slightly skeptical when I started; to find I'd been training the wrong way pretty much all my life! Keep with it and you will come to the same conclusion as I did!

I have been training with Ben for almost two years. I was very apprehensive about going to the gym…read moreat all but Ben was very patient and accommodating and was able to tailor a training plan around my capabilities and goals. He is very knowledgeable and it is clear he has a lot of experience which means that he is able to deliver a personalised and focussed training to each of his clients. Would highly recommend Ben to anyone.
