    Very dirty, black mould everywhere and as soon as you step into the building can smell it, it gets stronger as you get up to the gym floor. Not sure how they are still open, this is clearly a health and safety issue that needs to be addressed and reported to the council. The only perk is that it’s cheap flexible and close to where i live. The ventilation systems are full of dust and you can see that’s it’s years of buildup. Oh and the elevator is veeeery dodgy and doesn’t work properly not to mention the broken button which could easily cause a cut

    Gym has got some good equipment but always something broken and takes months for it to get fixed. If you try call no one answers for weeks . Staff are pretty ignorant and not friendly they are only interested in there personal clients. They advertise membership as no contact pay as you go and you can cancel at any point but when I cancelled I was still charged for 2 months more and told if I didn't pay I would have debt collection agency come for the money even though I had not used the gym in Months .

    I Signed up to this gym and there were no changing or showering facilities. I emailed and I was informed it would be open in 2 weeks, 1 month later still no showering facilities. To add a bit of context I signed up to the gym to go early in the morning and go straight to work so need a shower. I informed NRG that I was cancelling my membership and direct debit and I now have a separate company chasing me for payment and telling me that I owe them money as I’m in arrears. I have never used the gym, they never communicated that the changing rooms were closing. I’ve communicated clearly and they say that I have never emailed. I have sent the email trail and waiting for a response. I should get a full refund but they are chasing me for money even though I clearly emailed my cancellation and cancelled the direct debit. I have now signed up to ‘The Gym’ and I’m having a much better experience. Avoid this gym, as cancelling won’t be easy.

    I've been a member of this gym for many years now and I can honestly say that recently it's nothing but disappointment. I would go as far as to say that if it weren't for the location, the gym would go out of business very soon. I've lost count how many times the sauna was off when I wanted to use it. Both in the morning and in the afternoon, during staff hours. It's pretty annoying because it's there and you can't use it and the last thing I want is to put my clothes back on to ask at the reception for it to be turned on. Not to mention it would take a while for it to warm up anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if it was to cut the cost of energy which is still unacceptable. The men's toilet are out of use again and the alternative toilet located upstairs is just filthy. There isn't even soap there to wash hands. They used to have a few boxing bags upstairs, now they have only one. A couple of months ago they replaced their old ones, which were good, with some poor quality new ones that ripped within the first few weeks of use. Now there is only one left and it doesn't look like we are getting any more any time soon. There are three squat racks upstairs and not enough quality weights and barbells between them. All barbells are low quality and some are lighter than the others. You could live with that, but members can only use two racks at a time because they only have two J-hook sets, which means the third rack is useless or otherwise unsafe to use. You often have to wait for a long time to use one of them or completely change your workout if you don't have time. The gym should do better for their existing members instead of trying to attract new ones by pretending how amazing the gym is on social media.

    I used to really enjoy training here in the morning but now they just blast strange house music out at top volume and have suddenly started putting the heating on now it’s dipped below 15° outside. The training experience has collapsed considerably. Equipment is also frequently broken and rundown. Note B’s or whatever the female manager is called, her older fella is very aggressive with me and no idea why. Have asked him and got a volley of abuse. Phil is however very polite and welcoming and does a very good job.

    Omg there's this guy Connor, he's like so amazing. He's a thorough personal trainer if you want a man to really work those muscles and get you in shape then he's the man for you. Lily on the other hand has the most amazing class on Fridays, she worked me so well making sure I had the right form. All around a great gym with great great instructors and classes, you will definitely find something and someone that works well for you.

    NRG Gym Watford is simply outstanding! From the state-of-the-art equipment to the dedicated and friendly staff, this gym has it all. I love the variety of fitness classes they offer, which keeps my workouts exciting and engaging. The cleanliness and hygiene here are top-notch, and the spacious layout provides ample room to exercise comfortably. The convenient hours make it easy to fit in a workout no matter your schedule. I highly recommend NRG Gym Watford to anyone looking for a fantastic fitness experience.

    I am a current member of the gym it's good the gym is 24/7 and staff is very helpful. However the equipments are mostly broken and not working properly or making so noise. Besides it's been nearly a complete month since the scale is not working. Its a shame for a gym to have a broken scale with a damaged plug. Members need to track their weight programmes. It's been annoying recently!! 👎🏻

    Good gym. Having some offers for winter if you join. Before joining go through the contract and then sign it . I was told that there would be no joining fee by the staff and I didn’t even go to gym but they have charged me the money along with the monthly payment.

    Best gym in Watford. I have been to a few of Watford's gyms; pumps gym for around a month, The Gym Group for half a year and some others. NRG stands above, with a more genuine focus on providing the equipment and environment for bodybuilding, weightlifting and fighting sports. This is the only gym in Watford you should go to.

    I've been coming NRG for 3 and half years now and I've had nothing but the best from the gym. It's a good atmosphere, Bee and Charlie have always been approachable and made things easy. I recommend this gym to anyone from biginner or advanced.

    I can't understand who made this clown a manager or self claiming. My entry code didn't work for second day and I've been calling for help/ringing door bell/calling on phone but no response and left gym without work out after 30 minutes of looking for help. I turned up 3rd day (again entry code didn't work work) and faced this arrogant clown. He said "i wasn't here yesterday". I believe and told him that as a manager it was his duty to make sure someone is available there for help. When I challenged his manager skill, He turned nasty and threatening to cancel my membership and started swearing at me. I left gym despite 12 days remaining of my current membership. Worse gym ever.

    It is a fantastic gym! It has great equipment and a few areas you can go and workout - two only women areas and 2 big floors! I really enjoyed going there and it has amazing membership offers. Also, the biggest plus is that it's open 24/7 so you can choose the moment in a day you can do your exercises, which means no excuse for not working out.

    Coming here for quite some time now and can honestly say it’s the best gym I’ve been to. From the workers to the equipment and community everything about it makes every workout an enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Tremaine W. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantastic gym! Customer care/experience is great. Phil’s member engagement is second to none, always makes me feel welcome. Very reasonable prices and buzzing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Amazing atmosphere, the staff are very professional and helpful, the equipment is great compared to the other gyms in the area, definitely recommend for everyone!

  • 5/5 Elena R. 5 months ago on Google
    Probably the most complex and spacious gym in Watford. I fully recommend it to any type of athlete (beginner/intermediate/advanced). Also, Marco is extremely polite and helpful any time is needed, as well as the rest of the staff.

  • 5/5 Pavel V. 7 months ago on Google
    I've been a member at NRG Gym in Watford for a while, and I'm impressed with their strong commitment to safety and inclusivity. They have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, offer secure PIN entry, and 24/7 monitoring. The gym is accessible and clean, and their dedicated staff ensures a safe and welcoming environment. It's more than a gym; it's a community that cares about your well-being.

    Beware of this scam in the name of technicality, you sign-up once for enrollment and when you are change your mind, they will send you backward and forward, you cancel the DD and they still deduct the money and ask you to use the facility for a month despite you cancelled within a few days and the deposit that you pay for signing up, disappears because you just informed the Harlands group. Members are not made aware of the difference between the two. So, please look around, there are more options available who do not tangle you with technicalities.

    We stumbled across this gym which was conveniently right outside our accommodation, and it’s such a great gym. Has great equipment, great set up, and the staff are lovely. Would highly recommend anyone training here.

  • 5/5 jodi p. 1 year ago on Google
    Without a doubt the best value for money gym in Watford. No two workouts of mine are ever the same and there’s never a struggle for equipment due to the vast array of kit. The women only section is fully stocked and pleasant to train In for those ladies wanting to get away from the main floor. It’s always spotless and Bee and her team are always on hand to help with any questions you may have. Even the cleaner is always happy and friendly and says hello to me every morning. Great vibe. Great atmosphere. I recommend this gym to everyone I know!

  • 3/5 Daphne L. 11 months ago on Google
    Well, it's a cheap gym and you can't demand much. Many of the machines are in poor condition, but they are good for to do exercises the sauna in the bathroom is as hot as London in January, but a girl told me that it gets hot at times, I spent 8 minutes on the clock and not a drop of sweat . I don't recommend the shower to any girl and even less if you have to wash your hair, uff the water comes out in drops from the sides and the middle is empty. I suppose I will continue until the end of the month because I have already paid for it (feelings from the first day)

    Phil was an incredible staff member to be greeted by. He gave me a whole tour of the place and made sure I was very comfortable before beginning my workout! Will be returning !! :)

  • 4/5 Omer I. 1 year ago on Google
    NRG Gym is very spacious, the staff is friendly, and the registration is digitalized and simple. They organize a variety of classes varying between Yoga, Spinning, and even Boxing !! This Gym has free access to the Sauna (under maintenance until Feb-23), and free 2-hour parking near High Street. The fees are super cheap £18.99 pm, I got referred through a friend who luckily got an entire FREE month !!

    Was in town for a day and had a great time working out here. The facilities are top notch and loads of equipment. They have dedicated areas for stretching, compound lifts and kickboxing. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

  • 5/5 Jumeirah S. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is amazing. Everyone, workers especially, are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is searching for a gym. I haven’t heard a single bad thing about this gym from people i know who go to this gym. Everything is very sanitary and clean.

  • 5/5 Olena T. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been in this gym for nearly 5 years. Always amazing classes and good quality machines. Recently joined Phil’s “Learn to Lift” class which was very helpful in teaching proper form, tips and tricks for weight lifting. Would definitely recommend this gym!!

  • 5/5 Csaba T. 2 years ago on Google
    I gave this gym a try last week. The atmosphere was great and I liked the equipments, the staff was really friendly and helpful as well. I will join when my current membership ends at the gym I used to go, not because the previous gym is not as good as NRG, but as a refresh and to have the chance to use more equipments in the different areas.

  • 5/5 Vijay P. 2 years ago on Google
    The whole NRG Team @ Watford are fantastic and this is an amazing gym and would recommend! Bee, Charlie and all the crew are doing a phenomenal job. I simply love the spin classes led by Florin and Cleo and if you ain't tried them, please do give it a go! They are all so great and supportive, push you to do your best, and overall it is a great experience to get fit and healthy!!!

    I decided to join a gym while here in Watford for a study abroad work program from the US. Let me just say that joining NRG was the best decision! The other local gyms could not compare. I’ve been a member for a month now so writing this review comes easy. First off from day one the staff was extremely helpful. Charlie is the go-to man if you want to know the ends and out of the gym. And then there is Conner! Everyone should be asking for him. His workout class on Sundays will definitely leave you sweaty and sore, but for a beginner like myself, it is worth trying out! I also started to do personal training with Conner and have noticed a big change in myself for the better in just a short period of time. The man is the nicest personal trainer I have ever had, that still gets clients results, which is hard to find if you ask me lol. Overall NRG is great and I can’t wait to see my results once my time is up.

    Very happily impressed with NRG Watford. I joined around 5 days ago and I have been everyday, they have a wide array of equipment, classes and activities to do there. As a "first in a while" timer it's always daunting to walk into a new gym and know that you're new and everyone else knows you're new but I was very well welcomed by Charlie who works there. He showed me around and then let me know what classes would likely interest me. Every staff member I have met has been very nice and polite and helpful! It's a very reasonably priced gym @ £18.99 with NO SIGN UP FEE! I signed my brother up too and I got a months free membership. Feel really good about my progression there and the 24h access is just amazing as I work late often! Strongly Recommend :)

    I enjoy going to this gym I was a member since they first opened but I stopped going because of lack of friendly staff. But after a year I became a member again and it was totally different atmosphere new machines and new staff l really enjoying myself now better than before I would like to thanks one particular member of staff Mr Charlie his always talking to us and asking questions about any improvements I am glad to see someone like him working in this gym I would like to thanks him for all his efforts to keep this gym going. Overall I like working out in NRG gym Watford.

  • 5/5 Mimi M. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym is my 2nd home. Connor’s classes & personal training sessions are great & challenging. He has really helped improve my form & build my strength. Lily’s classes are amazing & fun. Full of range of movements. Both trainers are great at motivating and pushing you to attain/maintain your goals whatever they may be 😊
