    I didn't even wanna leave this review since I don't want the competition for classes but Simeon's ab work will destroy you, which is exactly what you want from a class. Seen more difference doing those for a couple months than I have from doing ab work on my own for a lot longer. Tie him down to a lifetime contract @thegymbracknell, got a good routine going here.

    This a great gym especially if you can go off peak - the staff are nice the equipment is new and there’s lots of cable crossovers and you can usually get on any piece of kit you need to. So why the low score? The parking. This is not plentiful and the spots are v small. Worse it’s run by a private parking company. You have to register your reg EVERY time you visit. Forget and you’ll get a ticket which will be very aggressively perused including threats of legal action and bad credit. They push the boundaries of legality to harassment and bullying. Surely just registering one or two vehicles to your account online upon joining would be better?

    Lots of space in this gym and many machines. The free weights section has a BIG variety and many benches around. I love the fact that you can go at any time. Parking is limited but can be parked offsite at a 3 min walk from the gym.

    Very nice gym as is always the case with this gym chain (I've been to at least 10). Couldn't see any staff on the floor when I was there, but gym area and changing room, toilets, very clean. Plenty of resources in the cleaning station. Parking is good and easy to access. Set over 2 floors, spacious with large free weights area and cardio / matted area. Would definitely go back

    Decent amount of equipment. Plenty of squatting racks! Always seems tidy. Good gym etiquette, members puts weights back and the staff on duty are always helpful and friendly. Affordable prices and really easy to join or cancel. The app they provide is also really useful.

    £60 fine .... caution. Been using this gym off and on for years . The only issue with parking was they run out in the day time . Rejoined last week . Headed down there in the early hours of the morning and recoved a fine . No mention of needing to register your car no email . NOTHING. Extremely un happy . Will leave for good this time round .

    A decent gym with all the equipments you would really need for a good workout session. A good amount of classes, however they get booked up very quickly and gets busy with not enough space even for the number of 20 spaces advertised. Working out spaces gets a bit restricted if the class is full. Would be good if some more afternoon classes get introduced to help with the demand or bigger space. Nevertheless, the gym instructors are amazing, friendly with a good sense of humour and they go out of their way to motivate each one of us during the classes. A variety of workout sessions to suit each one. Parking spaces can be annoying at times and i have ended up missing a couple of classes due to no parking space. Hopefully something is put in place to expand the parking facilities. Overall, good gym! Would have been a 5 star rating, if it wasn’t for class & parking restrictive space.

    Good value for money gym, Got everything you need.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Fantastic gym. Great value for money. Always clean and tidy. Staff are fantastic especially Craig. Very professional. It’s like my 2nd home

  • 5/5 Danielle C. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Been coming to the gym now for 5 years. 3 years of that has been with The Gym. I've never had any issues. Love the 24 hour aspect as a mum of 2, 5am seems to be the sweet spot for me. All personal trainers are super friendly and always happy to help. Great place to slip your headphones on and smash a good work out.

  • 4/5 Mr S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really decent gym. Loads of kit. No dodgy atmosphere. Only slight issue it the security doors. Other than that, brilliant gym.

  • 5/5 James A. 2 years ago on Google
    This gym offers everything you really need from a beginner level up to intermediate level. The options of different cable machines and free weights allows you a huge variety of workouts along with a huge selection of cardio machines too. Unless you're a bodybuilder who lifts over 40kg dumbells, you'll be perfectly fine here. Staff are onsite from 8am until 10pm which is really helpful and the ability to head to the gym at 1am when you can't sleep and got loads of energy is next level. I've not tried the classes myself but I hear these are great and offer a large range of options.

  • 5/5 chipo n. 3 years ago on Google
    Great post Covid cleaning policy

  • 4/5 Adam Grant (. 2 years ago on Google
    Usual gym setting, can get busy at certain times. Good range of equipment and plenty of machines so there's not really much waiting around. Good monthly price too.

  • 5/5 Frazer G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym. Always clean and good lighting. Good variety of equipment. Staff are nice and friendly.

  • 4/5 Cosmina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym with a lot of equipment, always clean. Would be better to have more staff / trainers willing to help you with some advice.

    Awesome gym used to work there as a PT too. Great stuff lovely manager and plenty of equipment and parking

  • 4/5 Harry 2 years ago on Google
    First visit was good! Good amount of machines and space to work out, only downside is how small the car park is :/ but my experience was still great.

  • 4/5 Harry R. 3 years ago on Google
    Decent range of equipment, staff friendly, membership is cheap!

  • 5/5 Phil H. 2 years ago on Google
    A good gym. Plenty of space and it's nice and clean. Got all the equipment I need and want. Classes and instructors are good too, looking forward to getting back into them.

  • 5/5 Finn K. 3 years ago on Google
    Low cost and great student offer, lots of equipment and free classes, can get too busy for freeweights 4:30-6:30pm

  • 2/5 Goka J. 3 years ago on Google

    Great gym

  • 5/5 Feng X. 3 years ago on Google
    Quite busy between 5-7pm

  • 1/5 Jack C. 3 years ago on Google
    Very hard to cancel. Called to cancel they actually paused my account. Billed me for three more months. Couldn’t get through on the phone. Refused to refund me via email for the time that wasn’t used or I expected was cancelled. Really bad customer service, they just want to rip you off. :(

  • 5/5 Prince D T. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoy working out there as its open 24hrs. The cleaners are always busy cleaning non stop. The staff are always replacing weights left on the floor and asking if you need help tips or anything to make you enjoy your time in the facility.

  • 3/5 Veronica 2 years ago on Google
    For the monthly price and the free parking is okay, however the cardio machinery itself is of a lower quality compared to other gyms, everything is sitting very closely and the social distancing has been removed. And assuming people are not changing shoes when coming in, everything has a dirt and oils film. I was wiping the yoga mat and could have very well wiped the pavement outside

  • 5/5 Boyan P. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been using this gym for a little over an year now and I have never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and they are always greeting you. Joe (one of the coaches) is very cool dude as well ! The only issue is the car park. It gets very busy and it doesn’t have too many parking spaces. In the morning and late afternoon is almost impossible to find a parking spot.

  • 4/5 Muhammad A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Gym, 30 minutes free induction. Very tidy and neat.

  • 4/5 Jamie C. 1 year ago on Google
    So running a cleaning company my self I can honestly say this gym is dirty! The amount of things wrong with the cleaning is a long list! The aircon also needs to be colder. Apart from these things the equipment is great, the people are great, I feel safe. Love it!

  • 2/5 Berkshire C. 10 months ago on Google
    Timespan Review 2015 - TheGym Bracknell My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 2023 - TheGym Bracknell My Rating ⭐⭐ When they opened the equipment was faily good, new and clean. Sadly 80-90% of the equipment is what was there from 2015.. little or no change year on year. Cleanliness had dropped dramatically post COVID (pics attached) and this is not great for people that have respiratory illness and as we go into summer there are flies. Some shower cubicles don't lock Toilet are regularly blocked or closed Sanitary bins in ladies are over flowing I can only hope they return to the original standards and start enforcing some of their rules. Kit not returned to stand, many don't use towels or clean their sweaty patches on benches. Machines left with stacks of weights so the next person has to remove them before they can exercise. Far too many people that think rules don't apply to them .. making phone calls.. video calls ( change rooms are not always safe, you could find yourself live of a call or Instagram) and those that hold 2/3 pieces of kit and block anyone using them for 20-30 minutes. Peak times, there are too many people socialising and it's difficult to get on equipment. Then there's the barf crew.. you know the type.. The one selling arrogant even if no one is buying. One rep wonders that load the plates.. slam or drop them then spend 20 minutes talking loud about their fantasy achievements. This year maybe the last as all my friends and family who joined with me have moved to other gyms.. because of the above.

  • 3/5 Elena �. 11 months ago on Google
    Good gym for the money - clean, plenty of machines and the staff are lovely. The car park on the other side is pretty bad - it’s very small, so there’s always a queue and they’ve recently added ANPR cameras with requirement to register your car even if you are a member. The machine is constantly broken and I’ve had to pay two parking fines even though I am a member and was at the gym at the time. Very frustrating!

  • 4/5 Jas B. 11 months ago on Google
    A nice, clean, airy and bright gym with an accompanying app that lets you see how many people are using the gym at any one time. Got over my fear of the gym here. Open 24hrs, come and go as you please, but I've never seen any staff members here unless they are running a class. Much nicer than the other dreary gym down the road which stinks of sweat at the best of times.

  • 4/5 H 10 months ago on Google
    Great gym, clean, plenty equipment and efficient check in/out. My only notes for improvement would be: - more cleaning stations, eg one in the free weights area would be perfect - repair the dyson hand drier in the male toilet. It's been faulty for a long time, and can be easily repaired

  • 5/5 Henry B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place, gym group Bracknell, great equipment, very professional and seriously well trained likekeable staff. If that wasn't enough the price is great for a monthly membership so easy to keep it going, without breaking the bank. I like the layout, nice and bright and situated centrally, so I have a choice of arriving by bike or car. Gym is clean and tidy and machines are well maintained. You can have a one to one with a seriously knowledgeable instructor or you can connect your headphones and go for it. Very friendly place. (Have also used Reading and Slough also very good). My fitness level is great now and easy to maintain and my regular sports have benefited as indeed has my general health. May sound corney but I feel fit for life and has enabled me to do other sports with ease. You need to give it a try, wish I had done it years ago.🤗

  • 4/5 Eden C. 10 months ago on Google
    I love this gym, but it would be 5* if the music was better. There has to be a gym playlist that has actual words in the songs, that you can enjoy while working out :)

  • 5/5 Janel W. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing gym with great staff that are always willing to help you perfect your technique. Like any gym it has its busy times but being open 24/7 you can visit outside those times. Great variety of classes but they are always fun but busy.

  • 1/5 Junior G. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely Gym, Shame about getting 8 parking fines in my first 2 weeks. I’m a new member and for the first week I did not notice the signs requiring you to register your vehicle on every visit. (I tend to be looking at my workout app and focused on my gym session so easily missed the signage) I have 4 fines that the car park company are trying to make me pay even though I sent them a screenshot of my gym usage. I would really appreciate any help from the gym management & I would happily edit this to a 5 star review because I actually like the gym. Great facilities & friendly staff. Plus the opening times are great! Any assistance would be much appreciated. Regards, Noel Goredema

  • 5/5 Keszeg R. 8 months ago on Google
    The gym is big and equipment is good. Clean and everyone is very helpful and staff are great. I am very happy every time I have a work out

  • 4/5 Szabolcs I. 8 months ago on Google
    Great gym, could do with 1 more bench on top floor. Showers could be cleaned more frequently, otherwise never had issues with accessing equipment. When a class is on, be ready to move somewhere else, this could be a bit more organised really but all in total 4 stars for this Gym! ;)

  • 5/5 Karlos C. 3 years ago on Google
    Been a while since ive come back but boy its as good as ever

  • 1/5 Jemma P. 4 years ago on Google
    Always busy and cant get onto equipment of find a parking space

  • 4/5 Michał H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pretty well-equipped gym, very old treadmills, not enough machines for insulated exercises, and clean (Original) Całkiem dobrze wyposażona silownia, bierznie bardzo stare, mało maszyn do ćwiczeń izolowanych, no i czysto

  • 4/5 Emma B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great range of equipment in a large space. Also a very large area upstairs with mats allowing for floorwork and free weights. They also make the most of all space with mats under the stairs, etc Always very clean and tidy with friendly helpful staff. Generally not too busy although I've only ever been at lunchtime. Only downside is that it feels a bit clinical and none of the cardio machines have TVs on them.

  • 4/5 Ladislav B. 4 years ago on Google
    Really good gym but not so many places for parking ?️ and very strong AC ❄️

  • 5/5 Timothy P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stephen J. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent gym, big, plenty of equipment

  • 4/5 Peter C. 4 years ago on Google
    A very good gym and by far the better of the gyms by The Gym Group that I've been to. Parking is an issue most of the time but they are now offering alternative parking. The trick is just go to at non-peak times. Or get the bus! Lots of equipment, friendly staff and clean. Bigger than it looks, too!

  • 4/5 M. A. 4 years ago on Google
    Just joined this Gym. Staff are amazing, extremely proficient and helpful. Have the membership exactly as I needed, so that I can visit other branches. See how it all goes in the very near future when I actually attend.!!!!

  • 5/5 wendy a. 3 years ago on Google
    The classes are definitely the best. I am a regular.

  • 2/5 Aaron S. 3 years ago on Google
    Discrimination.. The assistant general manager, Of the gym in Bracknell within a heated discussion talked was talking to myself in a manner that was belittling and Condescending which made me feel stupid, his reactions to me not understanding his points was laughing and saying “Oh gosh” this Was direct quote. I explain my direct manner was due me being Autistic, clearly had no understand what that means as a result I reaseved a behaviour warning for being who I am.

  • 1/5 luke s. 3 years ago on Google
    I requested that they cancelled my membership as I've been laid off they still took the money so I contacted them to send it back to me I was told it will take 10 working days for them to receive my money and 10 working days to return it. So I messaged them on the 11th working day as I had not received it then they told me 20 working days and I've still not received it. They take the piss. Do not give these people your money!

  • 5/5 Martin P. 4 years ago on Google
    I visit the gym early morning so never have problems with crowds. Always find it clean and well equipped, good value for money.

  • 5/5 marko 2. 4 years ago on Google
    Very high tech and there is everything you need for a work out.

  • 5/5 Steve M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great gym at an excellent price. Clean, efficient, and open 24/7.

  • 5/5 Anthony B. 4 years ago on Google
    Good gym. Bust in the mornings and after 5. Loads of machines. Free weights only go up to 38 kg.

  • 5/5 Dylan O. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been a member since it opened and wouldn't consider joining anywhere else. Great staff, great equipment which they regularly update and free classes for less than £20 a month. It's a bargain.

  • 5/5 Trish 4 years ago on Google
    Very convenient to be able to go whenever I want to. Much cheaper than other gyms.

  • 5/5 Amir Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Very convenient Gym. Being open 24H basically is a benefit to everyone. Also The monthly membership is not that expensive at all compares to other gym around the area and gives chance to everyone to register and do some exercises

  • 4/5 Rana K. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice but they need to add some more parking space. Treadmills are now getting old so they need to add new ones especially during the peak hours there is a queue for cardio. Also atleast need to add a suana.

  • 4/5 Nathan W. 4 years ago on Google
    Clean, working equipment with adequate parking assuming it isn't too busy. However, compared to our local gym, it feels cramped and crowded and it wasn't particularly busy at the time. Atmosphere seemed off too. Maybe our local is just that good. Not a bad gym but I've had friends tell me the car park gets very busy and I'd not want to use the gym if it was that busy.

  • 3/5 Harry B. 4 years ago on Google
    Can be very busy

  • 5/5 Gary 3 years ago on Google
    Clean tidy good service good location value for money

  • 4/5 Gemma M. 5 years ago on Google
    Great price, everything you need but can get very busy at peak times. Parking can be a problem and you sometimes have to queue to wait for a space.

  • 4/5 Alexei K. 5 years ago on Google
    Has all the equipment needed and is clean, too busy at peak times and car park is too small

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 5 years ago on Google
    Very helpful staff! Equipment is clean and functional. The people have never made me feel inadequate

  • 4/5 Lynda K. 5 years ago on Google
    I have only been a member for a few months. As a more mature member i am not interested in piling on muscle, but improving stamina, strength and posture. In this respect the staff have been amazing. Its taking time for me to understand the equipment, and excersises that are best for my needs. In this respect the staff never tire of coming to my aid. On the negative side, I would love to join a class or two, but they are early morning or later evening and alwsys fully booked. More daytime classes would be great.

  • 4/5 Scott M. 5 years ago on Google
    Free parking onsite but it is limited, busy at peak time but that's no surprise. Just had a lots of new plate loaded equipment installed. Free weights only go up to 38kg which is a down side. All of the trainers/staff are friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Ahmad N. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice, welcoming.

  • 3/5 Ian 5 years ago on Google
    Too busy all of the time, low membership cost and no contract but due to high volumes of people they sign up each month. If you can't work out after 11pm it's not worth it to be trapped inside for 5minutes waiting for people to come in so you can exit (similar to London underground) when a new peak hour begins which is basically every other hour of the day. Friendly staff, helpful to cancel over the phone also and nice facilities but overall disappointed by volumes of members in a town this size, it's a bit exaggerated.

  • 5/5 Jason M. 5 years ago on Google
    Plenty of free weights and cable machines, the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to offer advice and support if needed

  • 4/5 Shadow man l. 4 years ago on Google
    I like the gym and the concept but it gets very very busy so using a machine is like a queue. Also the lersonal trainers are quite full of themselves and rude.

    I've been coming here for 5 years & I love it . Was quite intimidating at first but you get used to it and the staff and members themselves are friendly & helpful & show you what to do and advise on form etc. I'm 50 now & female and I just wish more women my age would come & lift weights ...it's changed my life actually . Thank You ♥️💋😄🙌🍉

    I am extremely impressed with the facility and the staff. In particular, Ben has helped through my recent years of training. His consultation has provided in-depth insights into what is required to obtain a healthy physique, enabling me to train and diet in a sustainable way for years. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
