    An absolute gem and a fantastic addition to Tunstall. The equipment and layout is well thought out and effective and the friendliness, wealth of knowledge and support from staff is incredible, with some competition winners in there too which speaks volumes! Its also really bright and extremely clean with an awesome sound system which really helps you to get the most out of your session. On my first visit I was that impressed that I paid for the years membership there and then , best decision I have made for a long time. Keep doing what you are doing .

    I have started my new gym journey with Apex nearly a year ago and I couldn’t have chosen better gym to start. All staff are friendly and extremely supportive. Has been given to me lots of knowledge and advices since. Always received a help when needed. Through the whole time I am member of Apex I have met so many an amazing people who always makes my time way better during my session. What’s important to me the music at the gym is always dope what makes the atmosphere even better! a wide range of machines is a massive plus like for not the biggest size o the gym! Apex constantly improves! And that incredible wall art! Fully recommended 👌🏼👌🏼

    Fantastic gym. Used to go to Powerhouse but when it closed this place wasn't open, pity. Ended up in DW and when Everlast bought it they lowered the age which made a bad gym worse (although staff great). Looked for a new gym and after a free trial joined here. The place is somewhere you go to train. Brilliant equipment, excellent friendly staff and the members know what they are doing on the whole. And great mix of ages and abilities, not everyone a bodybuilder, some bettering themselves in other ways, cardio for example. Very little if any waiting for machines, always clean and well maintained. A real asset to the bodybuilding and fitness community of Stoke.

    It’s amazing what Andy the owner has done with an old carpet warehouse in an unfashionable backwater of Stoke-On-Trent. Creating a great space for training, suitable for anyone, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or a seasoned gym goer, male or female, you will feel comfortable here. There’s a great selection of equipment to use which is constantly being updated and all staff are friendly, approachable and clearly work-out themselves. Most if not all are personal trainers, so you can ask anyone at reception for advice if you need it. There are no disinterested, jobsworths working here. In fact that’s perhaps that’s one of the defining characteristics of Apex, that it feels like it’s cared for by the staff and there’s a passion for health, fitness and large scale street art in the place. Shout out to Katie, Rachael, Jamie, Mike and Zac, who are all doing a great job! I say give it a go, all you’ve got to lose is weight and possibly gain fitness, muscle and maybe even a new friend or two.

    I’ve been to a few gyms in Stoke and Apex is by far the best. Its hard to find a gym where as a female you feel comfortable and Apex is the place I feel most comfortable. Really friendly atmosphere. The owner and personal trainers here make you feel really welcomed and are there to help.

    Had a PT at Apex Gym the other day & loved it. The gym was great! It was clean, spacious & an excellent atmosphere. My PT (Kate) was fab too. She made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in & is an actual fountain of knowledge!! Proof is in the pudding with her personal training as she herself looks absolutely amaaazing!! Can not wait to go back!

    Great gym. Good atmosphere, supportive friendly staff and a lovely owner, Andy. They are more than happy to give advice and tips, and all take their own training seriously. Really good equipment with a wide variety of machines and weights to use. Plus it is super clean, has some great artwork and different membership options to suit everyone. I have used different gyms over the years, both chain and small business ones, and this is my favourite of them all.

    Joined Apex following the closure of another local gym and I’m so glad I did! Huge range of equipment, crazy artwork all over and lovely staff who always make an effort to welcome/speak to you! Having previously been a member of a chain gym, it’s refreshing to train somewhere where the owner and staff really care about the gym and the members. Love it here and would absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about joining! ⭐️😊

    Great experience staff are polite and welcoming, answered all of my questions even offering a 20% discount for my first month a member off staff then showed me around the gym and showed me how to use the equipment highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into weightlifting or is already experienced.

    Visited last year went to look around was shown around the main half of the gym by Rachel but when I asked to see other part round corner she told me to go and look myself which was a little rude and snooty or she just couldn't be bothered. Went back next day for one day trial workout was shown how to use some of the equipment by Katie (personal trainer) who seemed approachable and friendly. Also had a chat with the owner Andy who seemed a decent personable guy. Pros - weights and resistance equipment up to date, decent and aplenty. Weights area was not crowded and fellow members seemed friendly and ok. Cons - Not enough cardio equipment was only 2 treadmills plus was other people waiting to use and jump on as soon as you had finished. Imagine trying to get on at busy times! Car park small and limited although there was street parking available. Changing rooms clean but rather small.

    A quality gym, jam packed full of quality equipment. Clean, welcoming environment, with good music and the staff are extremely friendly.

  • 5/5 Jayden W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gym in stoke-on-Trent. The only gym I know where you speak to the staff like you’ve known them for ages and always very helpful. The gym is very clean and hygienic especially though covid has been a great thing. Everyone who goes the gym all make a great community together and all get along. All together id say the gym is very recommended and you won’t regret getting yourself down there !

    Brilliant friendly gym .. plenty of kit to go at .. great music and good atmosphere... Not your usually "body building intimidating vibe" staff helpful and a good selection of products to purchase if needed 💪🏼 will be going again

  • 5/5 Tayler R. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality gym, owner is a top bloke and always reinvesting in the place to make it better place for everyone to train. Recently installed air condition meaning it’s going to be a lot easier train in the hot sweaty summer months. All staff really approachable and friendly, really couldn’t recommend the place anymore. Best value for money gym around 🐑

  • 5/5 Hannah D. 1 year ago on Google
    Since I moved to stoke a few months ago I’ve found this is hands down the best gym in the area. It’s got all the kit you could want (especially for training legs!) and everyone there is super welcoming with a really nice vibe. It’s the only gym i would use here.

  • 5/5 Rachel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym with friendly and helpful staff! I’ve been searching for a gym to suit me for a while and this place is perfect. Plenty of machines that all look well looked after. Welcoming to all, definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a gym!!

  • 5/5 Habrown _. 1 year ago on Google
    Apex gym is a great gym local to me, the staff are really helpful and encouraging to me as someone who is just starting out in the gym. The equipment in the gym is also really top notch and they are always updating it and its great to see that they are now selling supplements at the counter! All in all a great gym environment 👍

    We have attended this gym since January 2022 for Personal Training with Katie ‘Train with Katie’. The gym is spacious, clean and has plenty of great equipment. The trainers at the gym are friendly/ approachable and equipped with lots of knowledge & information, their friendliness makes the experience more comfortable when attending a new gym, Gemma L.

    Visited on a day pass which was super easy to arrange - all of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The gym was spotless and staff were almost constantly cleaning the equipment which was nice to see Well laid out with plenty of equipment choice, trained legs which is my favourite and I wasn’t disappointed at all, even found some new machines I haven’t seen before. We travelled an hour to visit here and will be coming back again - but a no brainer if you’re local.

    Firstly this gym is the by far the best I have trained at in 12 years of training for multiple reasons. I joined when it first opened and seen the continuous improvements and ideas the gym owner (Andy) has. He has invested heavily on a ongoing basis to make the gym better for its members, whether that is buying more equipment, deco and artwork or adding new facilities and services, they have all made the gym a better place. Staff who have worked here past and present have always been polite and helpful as such are a credit to the gym. The atmosphere, the community within the gym, the constant reinvestment makes this gym special! I have seen and read a lot of the reviews must say I am disappointed to read the negative comments as they are completely untrue and have no basis. Thanks for all your hard work!

    This glorious house of gains is the best gym in Stoke on Trent and one of the best in the country. Friendly welcoming staff and they are always on hand to help with advice and spotting. The gym has a really good atmosphere and I would reccomend it to anyone. The equipment is top notch with new pieces added frequently.

  • 5/5 Jordan JLB B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places to train in Stoke-On-Trent by far! Firstly, every member of staff is fantastic, very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable; this also applies to the members that train here. The front desk has a good assortment of protein bars, preworkouts, energy drinks, water and also frozen meals, along with high-quality, eye catching merchandise. The gym area is really well designed with custom artwork and caters to a vast range of training needs. The atmosphere is always fantastic and the music choice is spot on. Although this is not one of the largest gyms in the area, all of the equipment is well thought out; each machine is very high quality (with some unique pieces of kit that can't be found in other gyms) and always maintained to the highest standards. Weights are returned to where they belong and the gym floor is always immaculate, partly due to staff, and partly due to the members. There is a water fountain, showers and lockers available, along with a sunbed and a number of on-site sports therapists. All in all, this gym is the complete package, big props to the owner for doing such a great job!

    Made the journey from the West Midlands to the gym following all the hype!! Andy the owner, definitely made it easy for us to find and was accommodating not only over social media but also in person. Likewise, all the other staff were friendly and helpful and kept the gym extremely clean and tidy!! In relation to the gym, there is definitely a wide range of equipment and we managed to have a really good leg workout! We would definitely revisit and train something else! Lots of parking too!!! Definitely recommend especially if local :)

    Amazing gym. I went for a free trial last month and joined up straight away. Staff are great, friendly and helpful. Always greet you on arrival and ask how you are etc. Changing rooms always clean. Doesn’t get too busy or crowded. Members all seem decent folk and I haven’t come across any idiots. Equipment is great. A good mix of old style and modern kit. Some real nice Gymleco, Granite and hammer strength plate-loaded kit. Plenty of free weights and cables, loads of plates. Can’t fault the place at all!

    I have been training at Apex since March 2022, it felt welcoming from the moment of first going, Rachael offered show me around if I needed it. The staff are great and you don’t just feel like a number to them and the other members of the gym really make you feel welcome you can always ask any of them for a spot. Andy the owner invests into his gym and placed a large order for a load of new equipment recently. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else now.

    Apex feels like home when i walk in for my workout each day. The staff are very welcoming, every one of them speak and greet members all of the time. I particularly like the layout of the gym and it feels very open and with a great lighting. Lastly the music that apex play is great.

    Such an amazing gym and I'm so glad I've started coming here. I've always been quite big and when I went larger gyms which are with big chains, I used to feel embarrassed and afraid to go since I knew nobody and I always felt scared to ask anyone for help. At apex it's just such a friendly gym, everyone can talk to eachother and have fun while working out. Everyone who comes and works here is amazing and I promise you won't regret it if you sign up for this gym ❤️

  • 5/5 Dave B. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Excellent gym , the comments about the lack of fitness machines, it's a gym of limited space, there is only so much you can achieve in making it satisfying to everyone. First and formoast the bodybuilding side is of the best guality. And tbf I've never had a problem getting on the fitness aperatous. All the staff been very accommodating
