Disappointing. I tried it because of the location, there not being too many options around the area without going into Kingston. As a swimming pool/squash club for families it may be alright, but as a gym I feel it's overpriced for the facilities. The weights area is small and basic, and the cardio area on the upper floor primarily holds cross trainers facing windows into the cafeteria. So you can trundle away on those while watching people eat their lunch. The bikes section in the middle felt stuffy because the ceiling's quite low there and you're away from the windows in what feels like a converted loft space. It felt pretty dated. You need to exchange your membership card for a locker key at reception and the receptionists I met seemed uninterested - I felt like an inconvenience. The gym staff were similar and so the general feel I got was uninspiring. When you're paying over £80 a month for something like that then for me it has to feel like somewhere to enjoy going, have a bit of a lifting atmosphere, but it didn't. Towels were an additional cost on top and four months was the minimum membership. Showers, apart from two or three, are the open communal type. I imagined the equipment wouldn't be the same standard as Virgin or David Lloyd, etc. But I'd expected it would make up for that on value and friendlier atmosphere. So, because it didn't have any of that, that's why it was a disappointment to me. If you're a family in the area and swimming or squash is what you're after then I'd say give it a look. Otherwise, I can't recommend it.

I really don’t understand the good reviews, I can only assume the club has gone downhill. It is not good value for money when compared to other clubs, it’s quite run down. The staff have also never been particularly friendly, I was even told by a miserable man behind reception that my son had to be out of the pool by 6pm which confused me as that would only allow us 30 minutes after last entry and I was not told this upon joining. It’s already very difficult to get to the club for 5.30 as a working parent. The pool has also been really cold lately. I’m leaving this review as I was already considering other options given the fairly poor value for money (that’s without the extortionate towel hire membership) and now the prices are being increased. The only positive thing I really have to say is that it’s a very convenient location and the changing rooms aren’t bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if the increase in price pushes people to look elsewhere.

Good club, facilities are good but for the price (almost 100£ a month) it definitely could do with some upgrades. Changing rooms and showers are often not cleaned to a good standard, for the price I'd expect to have good quality shampoo and shower gel and not having to bring my own from home as the ones provided in the shower cubicles are low quality and often empty. Should offer memberships add ons options, i.e you're paying a lot for all classes and pool although some people will never use that. Unfortunately with the even further price increase this year I am having to discontinue my membership.

Always a nice range of classes (evenings and weekends quite busy) and all the instructurs are well prepared and friendly. Today I had an outdoor class with Jeff and was brilliant! Nice energetic luch time break!

Having been a member of Colets for many years, I can honestly say this is a wonderful place to visit. The staff are friendly and always available to help - I’m always able to go up to them and ask for assistance. I really love the pool in particular but i need to make the most of the other facilities as well going forwards!

really unique club, If you are looking for a place where you can relax and not feel self-conscious whirl working out this is the place to go, very family orientated. It is an old club with a lot of tradition however you can see that are currently working on each area to modernize it. Lots of diverse classes to go to as well.

I'm proud to say I've now been a member of Colets for 37 years - and over that time, I've seen a great many changes to the grounds and facilities. But the one thing that has remained constant is the sense of friendship and caring that has permeates every part of the club. Colets staff are always keen to ensure you get the best experience each and every time you visit. I hope I'm still a member in another 37 years !!!

I joined Colets in April 2023 and I can honestly say its the most welcoming and friendly gym / health club I have ever used. The variety of classes is great and the pool is lovely. I am particularly enjoying the option to exercise outside with the functional fitness sessions. My kids love the junior gym sessions too. Parking is free and easy - highly recommend!

Fantastic gym and facilities. All the staff were really friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Couldn't recommend more. Joseph from the membership team was really helpful

Lovely warm welcome back to club after being an Ex staff member. Joe was on hand to sign myself and my girlfriend up for a years membership. Joe made the process really easy and answered any questions we had. Signed up and in the pool all within about 20 minutes which was perfect. The club was looking fantastic with the new bar. Very excited to get down and use the sauna… I mean gym.

I attended for a private swimming lesson with Steven Shaw, and I can honestly say this is the best Health Club. I have used various health clubs over the years, to assist my swimming, and Colets is the most friendly, caring, clean and stress free environment I have experienced. The pool is excellent as are the other facilities eg steam room and changing room and showers. I cannot recommend this club highly enough. Nathan has been very kind in explaining everything to me, and I am looking forward to working on my swimming abilities, after a long break from swimming. Nathan recommended the jacket potato from the bar. Truly, it was the best I have had, so well presented and delicious. Thank you to Colets for making my visit so enjoyable. I look forward to future visits.

I attended a comedy night at the club which was great, I also had a quick look around the rest of the facilities which were impressive. The grounds are also really good and the balcony a nice place to relax after a workout with a cuppa.

Great gym with excellent facilities. Always clean and a welcoming and relaxed environment. Changing rooms are lovely and so much room, always guaranteed locker space. Staff are friendly and helpful with any queries, and fitness instructors/teachers are positive and encouraging! Great choice of fitness classes that cater to all. I have enjoyed being a member for the past 3 years and would struggle to find another gym in the area that has so much to offer.

Warm, friendly, very nice and professional staff.

An awesome gym with great facilities and team of staff, everyone was super friendly - special thanks to Joseph for showing us around!

Great gym with friendly staff

Great club with pool, squash, gym, lots of classes, friendly people 😃

I have only had experiences with the gym and the pool but both are clean and i love using them

Professionally run, friendly, modern, well maintained club with fantastic facilities. Beautiful open space with parking. Fantastic range of activities, swimming pool, highest standards of squash and Gym. Wide range of fitness classes and family orientated. I have given it the fifth star for the high standard of their feedback process and commitment to friendly customer care.

Been a member of Colets for over 6 years now. It’s become a massive part of my life and helped me get fitter now than at any stage of my life. Great facilities, such friendly and helpful people and a great focus on supporting the local community... Colets really is excellent!

Decent gym with good staff and a broad selection of activities and classes etc. Really grateful to have it in my local area

On main website they are saying their not a gym for money gain -iterary, ist there, on main site. Jet they only have memvership and realy expensive over 100 per month. And if you agree on membership you have to pay for a year. Preatty dam look for me exactly like other gyms are doing - only for gain. And without agreeing on expensive membership you cant use it not even as paying per hour.

A great independent gym! Good facilities, great classes, friendly staff, nice cafe and it's very own cycling club too!

I have been a member of Colets for many years now It is not only very convenient as I live locally but a great place with all the facilities you could want It is very professionally run with good gym instructors The reception staff are always very friendly and make you welcome every time you attend I have been unwell for the last two years, what with one thing and another so could not attend Now with this Covid issue, I again cannot attend Gloria the membership secretary has been excellent in deferring my membership over the last two years, which has been a great help financially She has also been very understanding and supportive during this period I am very impressed with both the attitude and professionalism of all the staff in this organisation I would highly recommend Colets to anybody who wants to exercise whether it be swimming, gym, pilates, squash or any other form of exercise There is something for everybody including children's pool activities Although these can sometimes be a pain especially when you are lane swimming

Excellent gym, superb squash facilities and grounds. Staff are always helpful and there are no posers!

Fantastic squash, fitness and swimming club

I’ve been a member of this gym on and off for three years. The gym does the job except for the hard sales by one elderly fitness trainer that keeps following me around and last Friday followed me to the car park looking at me and gesturing that I have belly fat. Body shaming is a form of mental abuse. The gym is supposed to be a place where you destress. Act you age have some basic manners and knock it off!

Amazing staff, amazing gym, did everything they could to make all the members feel really safe. I look forward to it reopening. Definitely recommend anyone thinking of joining a gym to go and have a look as I am so impressed! I have been a member of another local gym but this is far more friendlier and very professionally run

This is a fantastic club. I have been a member for over 20 years and in that time the club has grown and invested continually. So today we get all the classes and gym machines etc that any new club would have, but also the extra benefit of belonging to a club which is well established in the community. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the club is always responsive to comments and suggestions. I always see someone I know when I visit, someone I have met at the gym or classes or someone I know from the local community. You feel so welcome - like you really belong. I feel fitter now than I did when I joined despite being so much older, that is because going to the club to exercise is always a pleasure and never a chore. Thanks to all the team for their hard work.
