    Yeah, This facility deserved five stars not only for the price of their membership but the availability of equipments. I’ve been through a lot of gyms in Cambridge but this one stands above the rest. You don’t need to pay £200+ per month to access a well equipped gym. This fitness centre is not that far with sports university gym in terms of equipment. Definitely plus for me is their sleds and bunch of rowing machine. This is far for what It looks like when I visited this gym before they open. They have an olympic bench and nice deadlift platform and squat racks as well. My time of workout is pretty much off peak hours so it’s a perfect timing for me to do my training. Highly recommend this one!

    Very pleasant experience! As long as you don't come during peak times equipment always available and the toilets mostly don't stink, however during busy hours this is not the case.

    Best gym in Cambridge for equipment and staff is very professional and helpful as well. You have anything you need for a very good price. Locker rooms are very clean and the gym is complete and very spacious. Recommended for a professional workout and great atmosphere 👍💪

    I regularly visit 3 of The Gyms in different cities. Unfortunately this one falls below the high standard of the others. It's much smaller and therefore overcrowded as a result. Would love to see it expanded and better maintained. Currently, it does not match the value for money of the other gyms.

    Couldn’t find a single staff member during the daytime to ask for an intro aside from one person out of uniform training somebody. The lighting is abrasive and, even for a gym, the air conditioning is too excessive. Free weights were in no particular order despite the labels which was irritating. You get what you pay for.

    Bad smell inside. Often packed. Several bikes and cross trainers are not properly fitted and a bit wobbly. They advertise that you can bring a friend to the gym but they make it far harder to thus than necessary. Bad app.

    Probably the best gym in cambridge. I have tried all the others, including the expensive ones, and this one seems the right balance of not too busy, decently priced and most importantly it is CLEAN. I cannot tell you how many of the other local gyms are grubby and smelly, so this one is a breath of fresh air (literally). There is plenty of equipment and space across both floors, so I have not found myself needing to wait for machines so far. There is 4 hours free parking just outside. I knocked a star off as the customer service (not from the people at the gym, but on the app about my account) was very slow and not helpful - the staff in the gym were friendly and helpful though.

    Good gym spot! It's often busy with activity during peak hours

    I have been a member since this gym opened and it was a nice gym for a long time, but now I don't enjoy going there anymore. Too many members in too small space, the equipment is occupied all the time, but worst of all, the hygiene level is terrible... No paper towels and disinfectant sprays, toilets and showers not cleaned and smells awful.

    Dirty gym. The bathrooms are never clean. Trash full. Often have to tell staff there is no soap. Somehow they increased the monthly cost of membership with NO upgrades. Actually doing less for MORE money. Equipment is always dirty. Weights strewn all over gym. Dust and spider webs seen between cardio machines. Seems like the staff isn’t interested in working but just sitting in the office. Only ever see one cleaning guy hovering of all things….. The wipes and spray need to come back to wipe down equipment. Disgusting.

    Nice big gym with all the essentials. Facilities are clean and there are plenty of classes and PT options at the gym at an affordable price. There is also bike and car parking available if you need it. I enjoy going there.

  • 1/5 Tim P. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the gym, clean, spacious and modern. The issue is the weights. Impossible to find a plate on a rack. You have to fish around on the floor or look for one behind 3 different weights. The staff does nothing to fix it, and I’ve personally seen trainers dump weights on the floor and leave them there. Put up signs reminding people, and properly label where plates should go.

    The Gym Cambridge is run by a great team of people who have made the overall atmosphere of the gym, fantastic! My favourite features include their big store front window, overall cleanlines and the layout of the gym. Their membership price just sweetens the deal.

    Terrible the place was absolutely filthy the entrance to the gym outside on the pavement was littered with chips sauce and other food waste right at the entrance. Inside wasnt any better the changing rooms where worse there was vomit on the floor clothes thrown all over the floor and on top of the lockers there was water and what looked like urine everywhere but where its meant to go. And feacal matter all around the toilet and looks to be on the walls too . I went there 3days in a row hoping each day I went it might have been cleaned but no change if anything it was worse .

    I've tried PureGym and other gyms, but I've found this is the best one. It's properly lit, if you need staff there are some but most importantly, everyone is really nice and I've made many friends out of just complimenting people. Truly wonderful gym and for £9.50 for the first month it just made sense to use it.

    I became a member recently and love it!! It’s not to expensive and there is a huge variety of equipment! When I go in the mid morning it is never very crowded and there is plenty of empty equipment. The changing rooms and bathrooms and showers are all very nice too!

    The gym group has become a second home. The 24/7 access is invaluable when you have a hectic schedule. The facility is well maintained and has plenty of equipment, even when it's busy. The staff is friendly and the classes are great! 10/10 would recommend

    Good gym. Well equipped with free parking for up to 4 hours. Gets busy at times like any other gym does, but it's well looked after. My only problem is that they keep playing annoying club music WAY too loud,especially on the top floor. I don't know who is it meant to motivate because everybody has headphones on. Other than that I'd totally recommend it.

  • 4/5 alguacete a. 1 year ago on Google
    Great value for money. Not many classes, mainly for weights. Few machines are worn off but that is what happens with this things. Staff is always ready to help

  • 5/5 John P. 1 year ago on Google
    Enter anytime, well-equipped and always clean and tidy. Likewise, rare for anything not to work properly and the staff are all positive and friendly. Changing rooms are basic but that helps keep the monthly price under twenty quid I'm sure. Cannot be beaten in Cambridge in terms of value.

  • 5/5 Nick A. 1 year ago on Google
    So far so good, no issues, I train at home a lot but use gym mainly for the bench press and tricep pull, I do this very early hours whilst at work, pop in quick bit of exercise then out, not many people in early morning which is good. Have trained a couple of Saturday mornings, found it to be OK, 2nd visit on the Saturday morning was busier but still able to train. Always seems to be cleaners working, so seems clean, have had some equipment/benches being bit wet, but there is hand sanitiser stations around,so bit of tissue and a squirt.....and bench is all clean, worse case can bring some wipes. Showers seem good, overall good experience. Few years back was at Nuffield Gym....you gotta look at what you paying each month, for the price, Gym Group does the job.

  • 2/5 Eddie D. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a good gym if we talk about structure. However, there is less and less availability of hygienic products and tissues to clean the equipments. With the warm climate, the feeling of lack of cleanliness is greater. Therefore, it gives a feeling of abandonment.

  • 5/5 James A. 1 year ago on Google
    All was well. Canceled my direct debit in advance as its my last month with the gym. Turns out if you cancel the direct debit you automatically cancel your membership. Its the 10th and I have paid for the whole month and can't use the gym. Shockingly bad service. £18.99 down the drain. However the Manager James contacted me the next day to apologise and has agreed to keep the membership running until month end. 5 stars for resolving the issue.

  • 5/5 Pablo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Tbh it's a great gym. Plenty of space and equipment. Probably best to avoid it from 6pm to 7pm because it gets pretty busy.apart from that what's not to like.

  • 3/5 Param S. 1 year ago on Google
    Rush hour is insane, there are unequal number of squat racks and barbells. On top of that, people just hog up equipments while using their phones endlessly. Shower & Facilities: The changing room and shower facilities specifically are designed so nobody would use them. People prefer to walk out full of sweat instead of showering cause of the lack of toiletries, towels etc. Even if you bring your own stuff, there's no place to keep them as there are no shelves to keep them. Plus the showers are poorly weird. For the very least, please install shelves 🙏 Equipment: Can get quite crowded at times, however the equipment is shiny and nice. Classes: Very less group classes. On weekends, classes only for women! Classes are for name sake. There's no warm up or cool down, instructions are unclear and completely inaudible due to loud music playing all the time. The rest times are really long. Overall, I find them very mild and not designed for power goers, compared to other gyms and workout clubs. Frame: Would really appreciate if there were more resistance bands, paralletts, dip bars, gymnast rings to allow calisthenics workout.

  • 3/5 Adeen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym for what I need to do but I can’t believe there is no paper towels or sanitisers anywhere. I’ve been to many thegymgroup gyms and never had this issue. I asked a member of staff and he just said “no.” This makes it very uncomfortable speaking as someone who sweats a lot and doesn’t like to use towels and wants to wipe down the machine… I kno it seems minor but it really ruins my gym experience

  • 5/5 surya r. 1 year ago on Google
    Big thanks to the. GYM staff they’re really helpful they’ve helped me couple of times occasionally didn’t hesitate a bit, and are super-friendly been here since 4 months & looking forward to it for more

  • 5/5 Thalia K. 1 year ago on Google
    The Gym at Cambridge has a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, with a fantastic range of strength and cardio equipment. The team are always available to help, if I have any questions or give me advice and offer personal training to suit my needs. It’s always clean, is reasonably priced and has great parking availability. Which are things that are at a premium in Cambridge. It’s a safe inclusive space for all and this speaks to the ethos and brilliant management team in place at the gym group in Cambridge keep up the great work.

  • 5/5 Oliver 1 year ago on Google
    I have been using this gym for around a year. It has lots of facilities with great PTs and regular classes. In the app you can see the quieter periods of the day which can be useful depending on which exercises are planned or if one has a preference for not too many people being around. (+ Mitch has been my PT since I joined and is great)

  • 5/5 Zara G. 1 year ago on Google
    amazing gym, very wide range of machines, free weight with 8 racks! Staff are always very friendly and ready to help. Also for the amount of people that train there, I am always amazed how clean it is, I have never had an issue with cleanliness there!! Only thing I would say is the evenings get very busy, so if you prefer it a bit quieter, try and go at a different time :)

  • 5/5 Nailya S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the most affordable gym I've ever come across. For £25 you can use all the facilities and attend all classes. I'm only using the gym for the yoga classes, so my review is of the yoga classes specifically. Katie is a kind teacher who balances compassion with pushing you to do your personal best in her pedagogy. She's very sweet and approachable, and unlike some teacher I've had in the past, she actually teaches how exactly to do even the most basic poses, so the class is great for beginners. Given that most yoga studios charge £10 per class, if you go more than twice a month you will break even at this gym. The classes are available three to four times a week, if needed. I'm now tempted to try something else on offer.

  • 5/5 Natalie �. 1 year ago on Google
    I find this gym to be really good, large, a lot of machines, the app tells you how busy it is. Nice staff and a lot of classes. Unfortunately no spin room/class but it is a good gym. Not intimidating

  • 5/5 amanda b. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic gym! So friendly; all the staff are welcoming and helpful & the members are all lovely too! Such a great atmosphere whatever time of day! The equipment is great and it’s always clean & tidy! Iv been a member of a lot of gyms in Cambridgeshire & this is by far the best!

  • 5/5 Tushar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Big / huge with The machines all you want. Open 24 hours and even the monthly membership is very reasonable. I tried just a few daily membership for now but would go for a long term soon

  • 5/5 Gokul D. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    As soon as you step inside, you'll notice how clean and well-maintained everything is. The gym is spacious and well-lit, with plenty of room to move around and exercise. There's also a great variety of equipment to choose from, whether you're into cardio, strength training, or something in between.
