    A gym (or better say a bunch of so-called "managers") that ban you- for reasons I shall not state the full details- and then 1 month later you receive marketing emails with "Rejoin for ยฃ10" incentives, complete joke! AND A MEMBER TOOK MY PHOTO AND PUBLISHED IT ONLINE (yet I'M THE ONE WITH ISSUES WITH EVERYBODY APPARENTLY) ALSO, the irony is that I sent an email to their data protection team requesting the deletion of my data 1 WEEK before I received the promotional email.......!!!! AND THEIR OWN DATA MANAGER ADMITTED TO THEIR FAULT + THEIR DATA PROTECTION TEAM MISSPELT MY NAME (THESE PEOPLE ARE HANDLING SENSITIVE DATA MIND YOU) You be the judge

    I'm not happy at all with the admin of this gym. I had to go away for work for about a month and I hadn't used the gym so I asked for a refund for that month which was denied, the next month I was back for a couple of weeks so I paid the monthly subscription again then cancelled it any future payments but however since I cancelled future payments my gym membership has been cancelled aswell which is abserb since I payed for this month. Down the drain ยฃ30 and admin says theres nothing they can do. Disappointed because I've been with this gym for quite a bit now and this is their attitude towards a loyal customer. Probably not returning again. Ps the sinks never have any soap in them ๐Ÿคฎ

    Lot of cardio machines so can use what you want despite it getting incredibly busy at times. Very warm with it being a basement gym & could do without the hordes of students stood around chatting, but still worth a gan thanks to fair pricing structure.

    The location is easily accessible being located within the city centre. My total experience in the gym has been great.The classes and the trainers are amazing and friendly. The gym is usually very clean and the charge is budget friendly. Love visiting during the morning hours.Would rate it 10/10!

    A really great gym, especially for the price! Impressive amount and variety of equipment. Feels populated enough to give it an atmosphere but not too much that it feels crowded. Easy street access. Helpful and friendly staff. I really couldn't recommend it higher! Definitely worth your money Edit: the gym has only gotten better in the 2 years that I've been going. They update the equipment regularly, keeping it all looking clean and functional. Still highly recommend!

    Great gym. It has just been 'refreshed' what ever that means. Good mix of people. I always go early, 5.30am as it suits my schedule, but I hear it gets very busy later but I guess that is nothing unusual when it comes to this type of gym. Not sure if the access system is fit for purpose it tends to jam and stop you from entering your access code. This needs to be sorted out.

    I love this gym. They have all the equipment. The staffs are friendly. It's so cheap ยฃ12.99 a month. You can't go wrong with that.

  • 5/5 John A. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic gym. Staff are all nice, 24 hour function is wonderful. Most patrons well mannered and serious. Great location and facility at an incredibly competitive price. Equipment is all well maintained and new. Only criticism would be that I'd prefer more bench press benches, as there are only two.

    The classes are really good and some trainers are very kind! Yes does get busier during evening times bit still manageable. The washrooms could certainly get better and cleaner. Some trainers are really good and invest their time in you.

  • 5/5 naveed h. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to train... Glad I joined here.... Update : 4/8/21 : lockers need improving hugely as some are unusable and the shower door locks need repairing as most of them do not lock behind you when in the shower cubicle. Recommended equipment : since you have a seated shoulder press that is plate loaded how about a seated chest press plate loaded machine that lets each arm move individually from the other like the shoulder press machine? A standing calf raise machine is miles better than the current machine as it's not resistant enough. You have 2 bench press benches but neither facilitate the incline and have to use the power rack which isn't always available. Get 2 incline bench press benches in and then you're good to go. Apart from the above, yes it's great to go and train.

    Terrible a gym without a WiFi? Iโ€™ve been a member for long time and last 3 months the wifi only works in one particular area which is the entrance. There is poor signal underground as cannot use my sim network. Never been to a gym without good wifi.

    Great gym sesh. It's huge inside, though I'd say it's more aimed at CV. There is also a good sized weights area, though plates are slightly limited if it is busy.

  • 3/5 matilda a. 5 years ago on Google
    Clean facilities, and good equipments. However, unfair treatment of existing customers. I joined the gym when it was ยฃ14.99 and now it is ยฃ11.99 for members but I am being charged ยฃ14.99. I called and was told it would cost me ยฃ10 to change it. How ridiculously unfair!!!

    This gym is very well equipped, with lockers and showers, and has a wide variety of gym equipment. It does get very busy on Monday-Friday evenings, so it is best to do some of the exercises that require more space, e.g. deadlifts, on weekends.

  • 2/5 Engjer Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I joined the gym early this month and after two days, they told me it's temporarily closed due to some technical issues. Then they reopened it without access to changing room and shower. Will not renew my membership given such poor conditions of the gym.

    Good gym, quite spacious and decent equipment. It can get a bit crowded at times but you can use their app to check how many people are in the gym

  • 4/5 Leo 4 years ago on Google
    Only problem is the "invite a friend" option on the extra membership. There are always so many problems and i got a warning because my friend came in with the code and got locked in around 1am! We tried to find someone and nobody was aroumd so he had to use my code to get out which then made me receive a warning. Apart from this the equipments good and isnt full all the time.

  • 4/5 Vlasios T. 8 months ago on Google โ€ข 3 reviews
    I've been here for little over a month now and I'm certainly pleased with the amount and quality of gym equipment on offer at the gym. The pricing is competitive and I've found that the gym isn't busy at all hours of the day, which I'd definitely say is a plus point. I must add though that the male toilets could do with a bit more TLC or upgrade to put it nicely. Overall I'd recommend The Gym Group.

  • 3/5 Russy W. 4 years ago on Google
    The male toilets are disgusting at best. I reported a slow drainage in shower...nothing done two weeks later. No signs up stating another was out of order. Stickers on weights on machines constantly taken off instead of fixed permanently. Overall a decent gym but standards of maintenance lacking in my opinion.

    Markedly lower hygiene and cleanliness standards than the other two branches in Newcastle. Especially the toilets, very manky. I put this down to the manky clientele but The Gym Group should intensify their cleaning resources here.

  • 4/5 Chris B. 2 years ago on Google
    Yeah,it's not bad. I was a pure gym member previous to joining The Gym Group. I do prefer it, but there are a lot less classes than pure gym, I don't mind as I don't really do classes anyway. The monthly membership is the same as pure gym. It's open 24 hours a day. The only other downside is parking, unless you want to pay for parking.

    This is one of best gyms in the Newcastle. The best thing about gym is Mr Sandor who is always most cruel to be kind while getting my sessions done. His sudden changes in reps while doing your set is my worst nightmare. But I still love him because he is very kind and funny too.

  • 5/5 Share M. 3 years ago on Google
    Got problems accessing the gym when it opened again as there are some technical issues with the PIN system, resulting in not being able to enter this gym (i have 2 gyms) so I have been advised to call their main office by one of the staff. With this said, i have done my part and was told i shouldn't have any problems accessing. However, when i returned to the gym, my pin still wasnt working and i was turned down to enter even if i have the email from the gym itself stating that they should let me in. One of the staff, Simona, helped me throughout the process of calling the manager (out of office hrs) and speaking to the main office staff. She also went out of her way to update me the next day about the issues and resolved it. So all i can say is, organisation is really poor but staff are very helpful ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ giving it 5* only due to the diligence of the staff.

    Great gym with friendly, approachable and knowledgable staff. Clean equipment and most apparatus has doubles so thereโ€™s rarely any waiting time to use even during busy periods. It is spacious, well planned out with an inclusive atmosphere with inclusion to diversity that makes it an easy social environment for all shapes and sizes. Would highly recommend this as your go-to gym in the Newcastle area having also tried other local ones which fail to successfully achieve all above points. 5 star rating โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

  • 5/5 Isabella C. 1 year ago on Google โ€ข 2 reviews
    I joined the Weights for Women class, and it has become my go-to class now! I really enjoy Rachelleโ€™s classes, she is super encouraging and gives us motivation to complete the session. The workout routines change up a bit every time so you wonโ€™t feel bored, and you can add weights to your barbell according to your level. I feel empowered and ready to start my day!
