1. The one off entry fee was £10 (from memory) seemed expensive and pretty sure i was told it was £7 a while back- so a large increase? 2. 85% of the men in there were clearly using steroids, a few angry faces - not an issue but not great for longevity of business as people will grow tired of this demographic- probably why i didn't discuss joining. 3. The staff seem un interested on arrival, friendly ish but kind of like they have nothing better to do. 4. I have no idea who owns/manages the gym, i think thats reflected in the gym itself as it seems to be an open house of passive aggressive steroid users and monotone staff- managed to get stared at on my way into the gym by a man in a vest with his socks tucked into his trainers, also ignored on the way out after opening the door for someone- odd vibe i must say. 5. Was asked to sanitise hands on arrival but no members seemed to be cleaning anything for the duration of my stay, maybe one or 2 people- most people were just leaving sweat patches on the machines. 6. Toilet had a small rusty bin full of used paper towel overflowing and toilets stunk, grime around the base of the sink- probably hard to keep clean with the members i saw. 7. Lots of the machines were dirty at the base, nowhere near as clean as other gyms inc private and commercial - dumbbell rack was pretty dirty too- worth having a staff member just cleaning little bits here and there to pass the time? 8. Luckily i don't lift heavy weight but the adjustable bench was very unsteady and flimsy there was one better one in use but the others were pretty naff- cable stacks were fine to use but pretty loose with a bit of slack which can be annoying. Some thick grip bars would be nice? 9. The staff could maybe take turns cleaning the equipment not is use as alot of it needs proper cleaning top tp bottom ? I have noticed other gyms the cleaning protocols are a little more intense - i think i saw a staff member walk in the gym and back out- pretty sure a 2 floor gym this size has stuff that could be cleaned every day? 10. Not sure what the floor is all about - some parts are really slippy and seems to be covering an old carpet- just an observation nothing serious- noticed i had trouble pinning my feet on the bench as it was like an old slick rubber. 11. The music was so loud people were almost shouting at each other, not really a complaint but probably as loud as i have heard music in a gym. 12. Heard one guy talking about having a fight on his drive, good local banter i guess. 13. There seemed to be less plates than there should be but maybe they were in use. 14. I had read online this was the best gym for equipment variety but there was alot of doubles - double chest press, double shoulder press, double lat pulldowns so its got all you need but its not a 'Crayford fitness'- not many gyms are in defence. 15. Some advice for the owner - don't let young steroid hungry men 'dominate' the gym it doesn't attract the punters- i got the vibe that the gym wasnt under control or had a code of use- you need a solid staff who have a presence not girls on their phones (sorry girls - they might not of been staff?) 16. The face of your business is the first person who interacts with the customer- a glum faced girl isn't going to sell a membership to anyone unless they live next door - sometimes some set questions like - do you live locally, do you use another gym? Maybe a form to fill in you might see how much business you miss rather than make - i've noticed this at other gyms - sometimes the simple question would you like to join up potentially can lead to an extra 500 quid- staff training is upto the owner maybe he/she is minted who knows- i'm not an expert i just a basic view. My takeaway points are - clean the gym, and dont let young men create a hostile atmosphere - its been the end of many gyms in kent over the years .. im sure the owner will know which ones if hes a gym guy.

Hugely disappointed in the gym's treatment of loyal customers. When the pandemic started, myself and others did the right thing and paid money we could barely afford to keep these guys afloat and employed. I personally paid hundreds of pounds while out of work myself. This is despite the facilities getting worse over time, the opposite to what the gym claims. No more boxing, no more large mats. Now the pandemic is over, the gym has increased membership ONLY for older members by over a third to £40. I really regret supporting this gym and can't believe how shameless this is. There arguably wouldn't even be a gym of not for the kindness of the members, now we are the ones targeted like this? A real low blow to the loyal members. All this after being asked to continue our memberships and deciding to do so. Please rethink this, a gym should support the community not exploit its kindness. I had planned to return after my recovery but this is just wrong and dishonest. Wish I had cancelled a year or more ago and saved the money.

Recently found out this gym existed and my only regret is I didn't know of it earlier. Amazing all round gym with excellent equipment. Awesome atmosphere which just pushes you to make progress. Staff are all very helpful and drinks, supplements & food all sold on site. The best place to train in Ashford by a mile. The opening hours are brilliant as well.

Need to watch there own staff, first day I came there taking cash and the next week they haven't taken cash for ages and I'm a lier. Great way to treat new customer's. On the other hand the gym has everything you could want. Shame about the staff.

I've trained in many gyms and I must say this is the best gym by far i recommended going along to have a look you certainly won't be disappointed

This is the place to get strong and stay fit!! The gym has everything you need for a good challenging workout and even more! Friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated owners who will help you achieve your fitness goals and push you through your limits. Very well equipped gym, amazing music, a lot of space everywhere... This is the place where you can make your fitness journey more exciting, effective and enjoyable!

Best gym around here by far! The equipment is well looked after and the staff are really friendly. The gym goers are also really nice, I wouldn't go anywhere else

Been going here just over a month now and it’s by far the best gym I’ve ever been too! Staff are always friendly when you walk in the door and always willing to give advice if needed. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone!!

I started here just over 1 month ago love it "pros' the machine's are top quality and have noticed better muscle gains from the equipment great variety dumbbells upto 80kg each, Now the cons parking can be a bit tough to get depending on the times u turn up so u have to park on the main road sometimes. They could do with some extra free weight plates, it can get hot up the top they do have industrial fans to help. It's worth the trip over to them but obviously with the fuel prices gone up if u come from far away like me it can get expensive tip but don't let that put u off it is the best gym I've been to since the old weights room in Dover.

Great gym, nice people and the owner Rob is a great guy. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about training. They also have a wide range of pre workouts, protein shakes and nutritional meals to help boost both your workout and your overall health.

Top quality gym, and most certainly the best one around! As a Pt I here I'm privileged to be able to train my clients in such an awsome gym which is stacked with equipment! I train a range of clients here and none of them feel intimidated or uncomfortable to step inside this amazing establishment. Credit to the owners, they'd done a great job. If you're from Ashford you'd be mad to join a different gym. If you're not from Ashford it's worth the travel for a day pass at the least 🔥🔥

Great gym has everything you need . Trained here while working away. It's the best gym by far in the area. Plenty of rooms and they have plenty of pre and post workout drinks etc Well worth a visit if you are in the area
