I cancelled my membership because the gym is overcrowded, particularly in the downstairs weights area. There are insufficient numbers of disc plates, and considerable time is taken to scramble round for them as members do not return them to centralised storage locations. There is a lot of equipment crammed into small spaces. I have joined and cancelled this gym membership 3 times now, due to it being close to my home, but find I have a more pleasant experience at other gyms in the area. Buzz gym are relentless at trying to sign up more members into an already packed gym!

Very bad experience in this gym. Training here felt like I was in Auschwitz. Was unable to train freely without having the staff members circling around me like a pack of hyenas, constantly reiterating "Put back weights when you're finished". Though it was clearly evident I was still training. Replying back to them would often result in a snarky, patronising reply along the lines of "If I see you don't put the weights back, I'll check the cameras and ban you". The monotone voice and the constant reiteration of those phrases made me believe it was some sort of AI, perhaps even the T1000 from Terminator. Unfortunately, this was the same attitude almost 90% of the staff have. Stay clear of this gym if you value your sanity and have some self-respect.

Perfect gym for everyone. 1. All new equipments 2. At least 2 equipment of each type 3. Good trainers Only issue, crowded Its pretty crowded so you will need to find a good time when it is empty.

I recently left a negative review about the air conditioning and the occasional messiness of the gym during. Although some days it appears that the air conditioning is fixed, other days it is still not enough to combat the humidity of the downstairs free weights area. Also recently the music has been overwhelmingly loud, even with the new airpods and noise cancellation I can still hear it with my volume all the way up.

I've said it and I will say it again. Personal hygiene of some of the guys needs to be resolved. The smell downstairs can be unbearable at times. The showers are a joke. Could someone tell me if I'm really asking for too much from the Gym? Or should I take my business elsewhere?

Massively overcrowded. You'll be waiting half an hour for anything in the weights room.

It's a decently equipped gym. Sadly the amazing location makes it quite popular, so it's busy most times of the day, specially the weights sections. Maybe a second building would be useful for them? Just for weights. Hint hint. There is definitely enough cardio machines, if you are into that.

As far as the 24 hour gyms in Reading go, this is probably the best one. Lots of squat racks, but the I have never seen the weights organized, ever. I understand the users should take the blame, but if I'm alone there at 1 am, the weights are everywhere. The facility is clean and most workouts can be accomplished here. Not really any space to do farmers walks etc. Overall a decent place to get a workout in.

Extremely poor gym. They are more focused on making money than satisfying their clients… This gym has no capacity limit which leads to ridiculous waiting times for equipment at ANY TIME OF THE DAY! If you’re looking to join a gym in Reading, I most definitely do not recommend this one.

Buzz Gym Reading has everything you need for any training you are looking for. You can literally see cleaning is conducted every day, and damaged equipment is being repaired ASAP. Staffs are very friendly and approachable. They will help you out if you dont know how to use a specific machine. It also has a wide range of personal trainers if you are looking for one. I had the pleasure to work with Ati, and the result was beyond my expectation.

Good gym plenty of equipment, they do have some great trainers, just far too busy in there. The price increase they’ve recently added seems a bit ridiculous because all I’ve seen is 1 or 2 new machines and some lightbulbs on the wall but I’ve seen a mass increase of members so why is there a price increase. Recently there has been a football team or something that train in a group of 8 people and take up so much space and machinery I wish they would bring back the covid rules of 2 people per bench.

Buzz Gym is a fantastic facility, they have all the equipment you may need for your fitness goals. I have been training here for around 4 years now. The personal Trainers are always extremely friendly & professional too. It’s kept clean & the monthly price is extremely reasonable for the quality of equipment. I highly recommend to everyone :)

One of the best gym in Reading! super friendly, amazing atmosphere open 24/7. Keep up the good work guys! x

Really competitive and hostile atmosphere, same with classes

Tabs and the guys at buzz gym are great! And extremely supportive and helpful, I recently moved to this gym and have had the best of reception, couldn’t be happier. P.s The gym is always in a perfect state and the equipment is outstanding

I was part of this gym for nearly two years. Make the most of the free classes that are offered to you as a member and with no plans you can sign up for a month and leave if you really want to. Once you've seen the equipment available and had a complementary class with a welcoming personal trainer you'll want to stay. It can be very busy at times but your online login gives you data around this so you can try to plan around peak times if you wish. Online system tells you how long you've been in the gym with the date and time which can help you keep on top of your training plan. You can often get times with free admission fee, especially if you show interest.

Great gym and has been my go to for over a year now. Loving all the new kit which was recently added 💪 Just wish there was 24 hour access to the changing rooms via your pin. I train very early mornings (before 5am) and the lockers in the corridor are always full. So theres no where for us to store our bags / valuables 😩 PS to the people who are complaining about the gym be busy. Its quite simple, don't train at peak times!

Always has exactly what I need and I can usually get access to a decent squat rack outside of key hours. Worth avoiding 6/7pm in the evening but great on a Saturday. Cleaning products and showers are available plus a studio for floor work. A decent 24 hour gym with a good atmosphere.

Great gym. Really good classes that are easy to join and cancel from the app. The staff/trainers are helpful and know there stuff.

Up to date equipment , private showers ,

Been going to the gym since the start of the year and its by far the best gym I've been to so far. Lots of equipment, lots of space, friendly staff and even when its busy during peak times, you're still in and out in a flash! The staff have helped me on numerous occasions, whether that be general advice exercise wise, membership wise (they helped me transition plan) and when something very precious to me went missing (Found it!). I've already referred this place to friends, family, colleagues, and regularly take my girlfriend. If you're in the area, this place is worth a visit.

I been going there for more than 2 years and I love this gym. The staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Wes a pt from there helped me with his wide knowledge and showed me a range of exercises that are very effective for my fitness goal. Strongly recommend to train there.

Buzz Gym is in my experience one of the very best gyms in the UK and unrivalled in Reading. With state of art equipment and skilled trainers they provide a friendly and professional workout atmosphere. What makes Buzz gym extra special is the senior management who are attentive, personable and go the extra mile to accommodate the needs of the members, especially Vanessa who truly is the heartbeat of the gym 💖

A very clean gym. It is very spacious and well air conditioned. They have more than enough equipment ready to be used. Recently refurbished, so the equipment is new The front desk is very professional and always ready to help. My personal trainer Ati is amazing. I've been with him for about 7 weeks now. A very professional fitness trainer who has been into fitness for more than 15 years now. Ati goes beyond just physical training. He gives free advice on healthy eating habits, maintaining a positive attitude towards life, and his rates are very reasonable.

Regular gym goer, 5-6 days a week. It’s an easy 2 min walk from Reading town centre so no one should have an excuse not to pop in and get on with a workout. The place is thoroughly cleaned throughout the day, every time I go there’s always equipment being sanitised but they go out of the way not to disturb the clients. It’s fun, this place that is, because the trainers and the clients are all genuinely nice people , they are polite and wait for their turn if they wish to use an equipment/machine somebody else is currently using. And most of all every now and then people commend me when I smash my HIIT workout, it’s a real motivating people when complete strangers genuinely congratulate you for a workout well done.

Apart from it can get a little bit busy in the afternoon due to space. Theres everything you need in a gym. You got a lot of squat racks downstairs, with a decent amount of benches for the free weights. The staff are friendly and will always help out if they can, one of them once approached me to just advise me on my form. I'd love if that happened whenever they thought it was wrong! :D

Mike and Olly were so helpful when I needed a refund for a vending machine purchase. I was so impressed by how quickly and efficiently they solved my problem, thanks for the amazing customer service guys!

Well what can I say !!!!!!.. If you haven't already become a member, then I suggest you do .Adam Stowell is the man behind this perfect Gym experience. Everything you need is here . You wont be disappointed. Thank you Buzz .

Good choice of equipment for both aerobic and strength training. The equipment is always maintained and kept to a high standard and they regularly change the layout to accommodate new equipment. Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a regular gym 😊

Having tried all the gyms in central Reading, I keep going back to Buzz. The equipment is great and the size is pretty good given the central location. Having said that, it can get pretty busy in peak hours. I'd love to see Buzz put back the signal 🚦 mechanisms that were in place during Covid.

Health fitness us always Frist this is our life and we make it to the biggest gyms in town centre and buzz is definitely one of them great staff and classes that makes us build our confidant

Nice gym with bits of everything

Great gym. Great atmosphere.

I tried to cancel my membership before gyms reopened and the option was removed while membership was frozen - by them. By the time they let me cancel, it was past their required number of days and they still charged me for this month - NO REFUND. Tldr; didn't let me cancel, then still charged me when I did Disgusting.

Best gym in town. Boring music at times. However lot of equipments. Very busy in the evening till 8.

My favourite place 💯 💯 💯

Great source of muscle 💪

Quality service and gym 👏

First time using this gym. greated by a bloke called mike massively helpful and happy even though finishing his shift stayed late to help !,

Very busy gym and you often have to wait for equipment but that is to be expected. Good pricing for what you get and convenient. I'd recommend avoiding peak hours

Big clean and not too busy, first impressions very good.

Good gym, 2 minute walk from bus stop, 5 mins from central. Standard gym facilities. Areas/room separated by type eg cardio, spinning, weights etc which is convenient. Lots of weight training machines and rooms. Vending machine, sometimes very empty and water filling station. Shower, hair straighteners and dryers also available, idk about the mens room. Remember to bring padlock for changing room lockers, but if you don't you can buy for £5. Unfortunately no boxing equipment eg punching bags but I'm told there's kickboxing class to come.

Would be great to have more stuff members around. Sometimes it is too busy and there is no one to ask. Also add places for training. It is really hard to find open slots.

My first day at Buzz gym Reading, I had a problem with my passcode, a member of staff noticed and came out to help me, he directed me to the manager, Vanessa, she rectified the situation, Vanessa then kindly showed me how to use the equipment and after my workout, she gave me great advice on routines, warm downs and stretching. There was antibacterial sprays and paper towels in different areas, which people were using to wipe down the equipment. Excellent service from Vanessa and her friendly team. I highly recommend. Thanks Raj

Used Buzz Gym twice during a 1 week pass whilst visiting our daughter who lives in Reading. We were visiting from the US. My daughter booked a training session with Harry which was fantastic. So much so that we booked another later in the week. Harry's explanation of the exercise, the equipment and the purpose of the exercise was concise and his encouragement to complete the required reps and sets pushed me beyond my normal training boundaries. I was very impressed with his coaching style. Enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of equipment. Will definitely attend again when next visiting Reading.

Easily the best gym in Reading. Super well equipped, clean, new machines all round. And the price is unbeatable for the quality service they do.

Equipment, price, overall vibe is incredible. The staff are honestly the best. A genuine group of passionate, friendly, legit individuals. You will not regret coming here. 👌🏽💪🏽

Five star gym.

I’ve only been going to this gym for a little while but I love it! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, more than any gym I’ve been to before. Plenty of equipment and a great little studio space.

Very well equipped and has separate zones for Cardio, strength and weights.. with loads of machines and weights

Really good back machines with rotating handles . Loads of hammer strength machines for all muscle groups. Unique leg machine pendulum squat in basement. Space for mobilty and warming up . Clean and Tidy. Cheap membership price open 24hrs multi access for very cheap price. Can't go wrong.

I’ve put in some fantastic work over at Buzz Gym: Reading, a lot of help from Wes! Fantastic knowledge of exercise and works on what you want! I’m an aspiring MMA fighter and he’s helped with my strength and conditioning for various areas e.g padwork, endurance in movement and pushing for takedowns with the strength to finish!! Highly recommend this gym due to him!! 🙏

I absolutely LOVE this gym. Friendly, well equipped and knowledgeable staff. You never feel like you're in the way and everyone is there doing their own thing but won't hesitate to offer support if asked. Amazing place ❤️❤️

Lily is an exceptional personal trainer at Buzz gym who surpasses all expectations. Her knowledge, dedication, and passion for fitness are unmatched. She designs personalized workouts that challenge and motivate, while paying close attention to form and technique. Lily's expertise extends to nutrition, offering practical advice for a balanced diet. Her positive energy and effective communication make every session enjoyable and rewarding. I cannot recommend Lily highly enough. She is the ultimate choice for anyone seeking a top-notch personal trainer. Thank you, Lily, for helping me achieve my fitness goals!

Really nice gym, great sense of community! PTs are always ready and willing to help with any questions and queries, they love for you to get involved with challenges which are really fun and really enable you to feel passionate about what you doing. Couldn't recommend it more!

I have had an amazing trainer and coach- Gabby since past 2 +years and I can without a blink say buzz reading is one of the best gyms in town... The only workout place you should visit.. all updated machines , lit atmosphere, spacious and clean with a kickass music to get in the groove of burning calories....

I've been going to Buzz for several years now. I love the staff, the classes are great (and included in the membership) and the changing rooms are clean with plenty of lockers. Really can't fault it <3

Great gym with awesome instructors and a great variety of classes. Working 1-2-1 with Gaby on boxing has also been great, being a beginner, Gaby is experienced and patiently works through techniques and fitness with me.

Variety of well maintained, organised and sufficient equipments to complete your schedule of workout, spacious, centralised location and basic hygiene and cleanliness - Buzz gym scores satisfactorily high in all these areas. A quiet gym is a heavenly playground but great places are always crowded and full of hustle so no complaints. Coach Ati(Atabak) is helping me with online training since few months. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared result driven workout routine and meal plans. He is himself very fit with perfect condition and I see my dream physique in him.I am very motivated to see excellent results under his expert guidance and look forward to a better version of myself every day. Thank you coach Ati and Buzz gym.

It’s great has everything but the price for 1 day pass keeps increasing it was £9.99 before and then £10 and now it’s £12 and it’s really annoying for people like me who don’t go often I can’t afford it anymore no matter how much I want to go and I’m limited to once a month now :(

Awesome staff and trainers, top quality equipment, unbelievable value membership.

Amazing place to workout, too bad its closed atm.

Did not let me cancel et until they coud charge me, not happy had to pay even though cancel

Good gym has everything I need for a workout at not too bad a price for students

Very poor hygiene standards from both gym members and the staff members, minimal if any wiping down of equipment or machines. Free weight section is a shambles, even the PT's don't bother putting weights back nor putting the weights back in order. Says it all really, would advise strongly to avoid!

Music, vibes, choice of machines or free weights

Best gym

Crowded

Can get very hot and very busy

Low admin fee alot place and friendly Staff. They should just start ban people for not putting their equipment in place.

Clean gym with lots of different machines and very frequent classes - not too busy either

Friendly staff, good price, and great classes!

Best gym in Reading, great equipment and helpful staff. Because ... NOT just another BOORING GYM

Top class gym Taxiup.co.uk Its easier !

Good service and prices

Really nice gym, machines are well maintained, the weights section I think is quite well equipped given the size of the actual gym and tons of cardio machines to make use off and space for cardio workouts. Amazing location too for those who work and live in town! Wish it was slightly bigger though as it gets rammed during peak hours, would most likely have to wait for machines, weights etc.. But nothing which is too much of a burden if I am honest. Always clean which is the main thing, I don't think I have ever picked up a weight with filth on it... Ever.

Great gym, better then others around

Lovely Gym, I have applied for a couple of weeks ago, its very basic and really enjoyed my time there. The staff are helpful and supportive and found it very convenient for me as its local!

Great place could use qr codes!!! Many machines free weights 3 racks for squats downstairs, sets of dumbbells. Clean gym

I enjoy the gym here. Good atmosphere and good pt

Very happy with this gym, has everything. Happy with my personal trainer, Laura, she is the best!

Great place to work out. It’s a decently equipped gym providing an app where you can view workout videos and follow them, app also provides calendar where you can plan the workouts. They also have free classes like spin, stretching, HIIT, etc (currently closed due to COVID). Also very helpful and friendly trainers.

New user, first time here and i had to leave after 15 mins. Why are the running machines so complicated to use??? They have lots and lots of settings which is really clever but it'd be even more clever to make them simple to use.

best gym in town

The DJ that is there every Tuesday is doing a brilliant job. Really ensured that people were getting in the zone! I took my earphones out because I preferred listening to the DJ. Keep up the good work!

Excellent gym that has great classes which fit in well with my work schedule. Was quite confused by door code systems as never been to a gym with that before but all good. Wish they had singular changing rooms for people that dont feel comfortable getting naked infront of others but other than that its awesome

The best GYM in Reading High quality equipment Plus amazing atmosphere Friendly staff too 👍☝️👌

Best gym in Reading, and cheap, and friendly staff.

Had my introductory promo code session at last and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will join tonight...😀😀😀

I go at lunch time and it's busy but not so busy that it gets in the way of training. They have plenty of equipment and have just replaced everything so it's all shiny and new. I prefer the old benches, but will happily get used to the new ones. The only reason for the missing star is not enough weight plates. I think there is only eight twenty kilo plates about the same for twenty fives. They could do with more of each and some fifty kilo plates. If you get a few people lifting you can run out of bigger plates and have to use smaller ones. This can lead to not having enough space on the bar for more plates.

Good gym with decent equipment and classes, but it's far too busy. The place is crowded and I see them round town handing out flyers to recruit more members, just makes me think they care more about recruiting members more than the experience of existing ones. Left for somewhere else.

My first time in a commercial gym, so I was very nervous. There was no staff at the front desk so I waited to talk to a PT while her client was clearly resting between sets. She all but shouted at me not to interrupt her session. That plus the blaring music and it being so busy that everything was in use meant I ended up having a panic attack in the corner of the room. Didn't want to quit because of one bad experience so came back another day. Both times were supposed to be the gym's quieter times - both times it was packed. Never got access to a bench and never got to finish my workouts. Bad experiences that ruined my self confidence.

I have been a gym member at Buzz for the last 4 years and it is decent for the price (which has gradually increased to now £24.99). There have been some equipment changes and modifications in the layout overtime to evolve with the preferences of the members. They have taken an eco friendly stance on cleaning with reusable clothes for equipment. Throughout Covid they provided paper towels and had an app to track the traffic in the gym. My biggest CON - It is oversubscribed and busy virtually all the time. The exit gates stick frequently. The female toilets are frequently broken and are overdue maintenance. And attached are pictures of black mould that is evident on the windows and the ceiling of the basement. The management’s solution is to apply black paint onto the entire wall rather than rectify the ventilation issue. This is a health hazard. ⚠️

Great gym, and if ever in need of a PT or any form of trainer Wez is the man to go to. Incredible training for the price from a very highly skilled and experienced coach, especially starting out as a beginner his training has been sublime for me, can’t recommend enough for anyone looking for specific martial arts (mma), endurance, strength and / or conditioning training; beginning or experienced. He’s the guy to go to
