    If you prefer to have little to no people around when you exercise, this is not the place for you. It is very tightly packed at nearly any given hour or day. However, it is very spacious and more often than not, very easy to access any machine you want without waiting. Genuinely the people and staff are very friendly. It has a wide variety of classes and activities, and I personally enjoy having a little punching bag session (only wish it was a heavier bag) after my workout or an occasional football session with the lads. Affordable and accessible.

    Such amazing place to go! The website is so poorly designed, so I’m not able to book the squash court and I can’t see the options of any real facilities for this gym. I called the number showing in here, and it’s calling centre not the gym. I come here, and ask if there is any available slot. Your staff tells me ‘Yes’ when I ask if he can help me to book it. He says I need to book through the app, and booking is not his job. Great answer my man 👏👏👏such a nice experience of the whole booking process

    Gym is great. A lot of good classes. However there is a few 2 hours free parking around. The gym parking lot is for the staff only.

    Decent equipment and facilities but just so busy despite there being a booking system because no one uses the booking system. You can book on to the gym and it will have the full amount of spaces available, then you arrive and every piece of equipment is being used.

    This is a great gym. It's not huge but I don't find it overly crowded and you can always "work-in" with others. The people here are nice and the staff are good too. It's welcoming to beginners but also if you want to do heavy squats or deadlifts this place is also good. They got a deadlift platform and even some bumper plates and one eleiko bar. The only negative is that the lockers require a token that costs 20p each visit and the locker keeps the token.

    Decent all-round gym with quality classes and new equipment. As with all gyms, visiting during peak hours should be avoided.Gym staff and especially Travis have been really helpful. Recommended.

    Staff here are fantastic. Had an issue with someone on our football team losing his phone and they took the time to help out, search for and find it. Management also fab - Jenny has really looked after us before and then through the pandemic and takes time to make sure pitch and equipment is up to scratch while getting our input to make it a good experience/appropriate to our needs. Fab team - highly recommend 👍

    Nice 5-aside football pitch that is not particularly expensive. Frankly speaking, it's a huge place with lots of different facilities and. One downside however is the parking, because it's quite difficult to find a parking spot in the area.

    I love the mental health awareness in the gym, as well as the community. Staff are friendly and it's a great place. My only issue is that it gets packed, but if you go early or late you're alright

    Joined better gym 7m ago to reverse pre diabetes. Managed to with the help of classes and better gym. Use moss side/sugdens /Whalley Range. Good location, able to seek asylum whilst Aquatics is being refurbished. New update to app can mean members get charged and very difficult to get a tel number that's answered by a human. But I used insta DM and that worked well. Must mention the staff, very happy with the service and welcome I receive. Helpful & friendly. Thank you

    We have been playing badminton. Easy to book a court, good facilities. Only down side for badminton are the limited time slots and fixed times.

  • 2/5 Henry F. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoy coming here to play squash or badminton but, on our last visit, the last 10-15 minutes or so were less enjoyable as there was someone setting up volleyball posts around us. I understand there’s a schedule, but it was a bit intrusive given our hour wasn’t up. With the big posts co close to the court, someone else could badly hit their head if that happens again while running to hit a shot. The guy started immediately rolling up the net the second the clock struck six which was a bit pedantic, as if you say: ‘that’s it folks, off you go’ A bit annoying.

    Good equipment, friendly staff, everything you need. Just too busy on peak times, and no sauna or steam room. Luckily the membership gets you into the aquatics centre next door which does have a pool, sauna and steam room.

  • 5/5 Dawid G. 7 months ago on Google
    I often book the squash and volleyball courts. The squash courts show the signs of use, but they're aight. The volleyball court is nicer but often it's warm and humid so the AC should be improved.

    Melvin is really friendly, asked him for help with my form while he was walking by and he took the time to explain the mistakes and correct it.

    Been working out here for more than 8 months. The best experience I’ve ever had. Friendly staff members.

  • 2/5 Fern N. 8 months ago on Google
    The flap gate always broken. And staffs just let outsiders came in to use the facilities. That’s the reason why it’s always packed and crowded.

  • 5/5 James W. 10 months ago on Google
    Great gym, friendly, helpful staff. Clean, and well kept with a great range of equipment, facilities and classes. The location is very convenient near the Universities. Prices are very affordable, particularly for students and staff working at the local universities.

  • 2/5 Erin Haf L. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent gym with okay facilities. It gets very full as it’s rammed with students, - you almost feel claustrophobic. The staff members I spoke to were a bit rude and seemed disinterested.

🫤 I used to love training here, it’s close by, convenient and has a nice layout, however, this gym is constantly packed no matter what time it is and it is so off putting, the weights room is never free, the equipment always has about 3 different people waiting around it to use it.
