😠 Bought a cross trainer, was told it was easy to build. When arrived it was anything but easy. Had to pay £80 for two man to build it in three hours. Customer service by phone is non existent, chat is not much help either. Avoid!!! People often mention service, equipment, Great, months, order, store,

    Genuinely can't believe how poor the service is. I received a set of Olympic weights as a Christmas present, but the bar never showed up. My partner tried for a couple of weeks to get it replaced, but got nowhere. I then tried in the new year, after trying to make a complaint. They responded, said they would send out a replacement. After a week I emailed and said they were sorry but they didn't have any in stock and wouldn't until March. Or I could have a refund and they would collect. I asked if they could do a partial refund and I could but one. That was two weeks ago and I still haven't had a response. Utter garbage.

    Steer clear.. took payment but then requested bank statement for I.d before dispatching the goods. Contacted them 7 times via email and phone didn't get back to me. Asked for refund still not given.. had to contact card provider to sort it.. terrible service

    Disappointing. Source of some great static equipment but I would not purchase anything with moving parts of them again. Purchased an £1,800 running machine that squeaks and has a load of other weird things going on. Technical support and "warranty" call is now 2 months old and waiting. Be selective and careful what you purchase from them. If its high end exercise equipment just think what support you will receive if it goes wrong and how happy you'll be when you find out it's nothing.

    Fantastic service, will definitely order from them again (if the gym stays closed anyway!). Ordered a rowing machine, it arrived within a week but it had been cracked and wasn’t working properly. Emailed the customer service team and within two weeks I had a new replacement and the faulty one was picked up at the same time. The entitled attitude of the people making these complaints is just unbelievable. Yes, mistakes happen, but do people honestly expect things to be sorted out right away just because they’ve paid some money over? We’re in a pandemic and the gyms are closed - have some patience, people!

    I was just browsing for a spinning bike and came across Powerhouse Fitness. Stewart dealt with my queries and had a fully comprehensive knowledge of the products. The service he provided was above and beyond, it was nothing but outstanding. He had the utmost patience as one question led to another. From just browsing and pondering whether I wanted to buy a bike, I bought one and also additional items. Fantastic service, highly recommended and I would not hesitate to use again. If you need any assistance or considering buying anything, I highly recommend dealing with Stewart

    Found powerhouse fitness online and visited three weeks ago. The moment me and my wife walked through the door we were greeted by the store manager Stuart in a polite and friendly manner and he showed us around the store offering us great advice and knowledge on the equipment they had available. We were so impressed we ordered three pieces of equipment and some free weights. All the products were delivered to our home on time and installed by their team. From start to Finish Stuart kept us informed of everything that was happening with the delivery and install. All in all a very professional setup and wouldn’t hesitate recommending powerhouse fitness to anyone.

    Ben & Stuart have been absolutely wonderful in helping me with my purchase of a hybrid trainer before and after the sale. I can not fault there customer service skills and would like to thank them sincerely for assisting me. The two installation men were fab too so a big thanks to them for getting me up and running!

    7 months and still waiting. I ordered £2000 of equipment from PH on 1st July 2020 and cannot state how much I regret choosing them over competitor websites. Freight in covid times is slow. So when I was told to expect a 2 month wait to receive my order, I wasn't surprised, given that the goods are imported from China. However, it was considerably worse than that. Mid November (4 months later)- 2 weight plates arrive and my order is marked as complete. I phone up the company and have to argue that I've ordered more than 2 weight plates, which is what they told me was all they could see on my order. It later turned out that everything except two weight plates was on a separate order for some bizarre reason. End of November (4.5 months later)- The rest of my order turns up. However when I build my new powercage, it turns out there's a piece missing. Not a big piece, just a rubber rest for the bar to sit on. But without it, the bar will mince up the metal and the bar will sit diagonal, which isn't ideal for a brand new, very expensive bit of kit. It's a tiny thing which will fit in a regular envelope though, so I email in, expecting it to be a fast and easy fix. Early Jan (5 months later)- A reply, possibly automated, saying I'll hear back from the support team soon, but to expect 'a certain wait time' while they 'consult with the manufacturers'. End of February (Now, 7 months later)- Still waiting. Currently using a piece of carboard and duct tape as a makeshift weight rest to avoid damage. Far from ideal. Would be great to have a fully working device within 12 months of buying it. It might be faster to go to China and collect it myself at this rate.

    I called in and was very impressed with the level of knowledge they had, we talked through & tried various spin bikes before I settled for one that best suited my needs and only a little extra. The advice in store was invaluable compared to just purchasing something online. Recommend a trip there when considering purchases!

  • 5/5 Kat Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant service! Stuart dealt with us and his knowledge and service was impeccable. Excellent product knowledge and super helpful. Even helped us measure the cage as we were worried about it fitting. Used the installation service. Again can't fault it. The install guys were processional amd fast. Will keep going back. Highly recommended. Great store and team

    We recently purchased a treadmill and dealt with Stewart the store manager. We asked lots of questions before buying and Stewart was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. He has given us peace of mind that if we need support we just need to contact him and we are confident Power House Fitness will provide us with a good after sales service.

  • 5/5 XRDR 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent service from Stewart (branch manager). Professional, friendly and happy to give genuine advice regarding equipment vs requirement. Some items purchased on the day were not in stock at the store, delivery was arranged, items were received within a few days and followed up with an email after delivery to check that everything was ok. Good old fashioned customer service at it’s best. A credit to the company and highly recommended.

    Fantastic customer service, delivery has always been quick and speedy. Amazing service with Nathan specifically, who's been our contact in the Trafford Store. Couldn't recommend this guy enough. Always a customer of Power House Fitness with qreat quality & durable equipment which is essential for our newly established Fitness Centre.

😠 This company do not care in anyway shape or form about you. They lie and once they have your money do no even bother to respond. They promise you everything with their fancy showrooms full of nice gear and once you have paid they no longer care. Even their own staff say on the phone the company is a...
