    Great communication from the start, and Eben and the team went above and beyond to get the order fulfilled as swiftly as possible. The quality of the equipment is leagues above the stuff that it’s now replaced, (no comparison really), and the lads that came to deliver and install were polite, friendly and efficient. Genuinely couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    The best gym equipment manufacturer in the UK. I was taken care of by Eben and the team. Solid machines, and great customer service. I am very happy with my decision to go with Watson. If you are looking to expand or purchase some new kits for the gym, I'd say Watson is one of the best out there.

    I could not be happier with our decision to purchase the equipment for my gym from Watson's. Located in Perth Australia, it was a little daunting purchasing online when making such an investment. Our sales consultant Eben soon put our minds at ease making the process as smooth as possible with his excellent communication and customer support, particularly when we were faced with consecutive delays in the manufacturing and shipping process due to COVID. The kit arrived fulfilling our expectations and more. Everything came packaged and presented with the utmost care arriving in pristine condition with no issues. The quality of the product is some of the best ive used and im sure I will be able to enjoy it for many years to come based on other customers reviews and Watsons great reputation.

    I absolutely enjoy the Customer-Service from Watson. Special thanks to Matt :) I saw this custom Dumbbells-Holders on there Instagram and they took care of building a pair for me. I received them last week and i am absolutely blown away by the quality and finish. I hope in the future, i can add some bigger Watson Equipment to my little homegym. :)

    Excellent customer service from start to finish. I ordered a 45 degree leg press and my customer service advisor was James Bodman. He kept me updated throughout the whole process and always responded quickly. I was very happy with his service. The leg press itself is outstanding. The build quality and craftsmanship is as good as it gets. The sled glides on the guide rods so smoothly which I believe is down to the bearings Watson use. All in all, a fantastic experience and would 100% recommend buying from them. Yes they are quite expensive but as with all things in life… you pay for what you get!!

    We have purchased a number of Items from Watson Gym Equipment and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. The build quality on the products we have acquired we can not fault and the process of acquiring a product is very easy. They keep me in contact at every stage of the build and always deliver on there estimated days if not even earlier which is great as a customer. Would highly recommend in dealing with Matt one of the sales advisor, very professional and has customers best interest at heart as well as the rest of the staff :)

    Multi Hip Machine with extra 18.5kg (94.5kg total) - I've killed my glutes, the best part is the workout of the abductors and adductors giving you a good assistance in stretching them . I never felt my legs so well worked out like now without any strain on my spine. Many thanks guys I'm really pleased with my purchase. Marius

    Hands down the best customer service I could ask for. Communication and delivery was prompt, on time and kit quality is second to none. I've seen, used and tested all ranges of gym equipment in 100's of gyms and Watson build quality and engineering standards are without question the best out there.

    Since I started my home gym back during covid, the Watson SS Pro olympic weight plates were my number one plates and one day I told myself that I would get them. My whole purchase experience with Watson Gym Equipment was great. Paul was very responsive and very helpful in answering all my questions. The purchasing process was easy and smooth. The plates came in a timely manner and all the process of getting through customs was handled by Watson and I didn’t have to worry about anything. The plates are very nice and came in perfect condition as the packaging was great. I’ll be ordering their dumbbells next and can’t wait to use them.

    Watson’s are a dream to own. A true heirloom purchase that my kids get to fight over someday. They recreated our logo onto the dumbbells and it is first rate. Eben at Watson was wonderful to work with. Having never made a purchase this size from overseas before, I needed a lot of guidance and Eben was there every step of the way. I highly recommend this company and their products. They even custom painted the rack to match our theme. First class all the way.

    From the very beginning of my studio build I was taken care of by Eben and the entire team, going into this project I wanted to ensure that I used only the best equipment to provide my clients and myself with the best training experience. Watson equipment is extremely versatile, solid build quality and has so many adjustments which means it caters for so many individual biomechanics. The hack squat is quite literally the best on the market at the moment. I cannot thank Watson enough for the attention to detail. the build quality and overall just a great customer experience from start to finish. Going forward every single piece of equipment purchased for my business will be Watson equipment. Absolutely outstanding. The Natural Gains Private Training Studio is proudly equipped from start to finish with Watson pieces.

    I have been dreaming of having Watson dumbbells since 2012 when I first worked with them back in London. The quality and the impressive look with our logo on is making impression to all of our clients. The whole experience with Watson Equipment has been incredible, they have been going above and beyond to accommodate my needs as a customer and I am very happy to have their beautiful equipment in my first gym in Barcelona - Attika Fitness. Hopefully many more to come. Special thanks for James Bodman at Watson for helping me to make this a reality with Watson!

    I started off wanting a complete dumbbell set that will not only outlast my lifetime but my families. When looking around, I located Watson. I worked with Paul, whom helped guide me through the process from end to end. Communication was superb and the product quality speaks for itself. On the day of arrival, even though the freight was packed perfectly, customs/freight had other ideas in mind on how it should be delivered 🤣. Arrived in pieces (freight boxes) and turns out items were missing and some damaged. I shared the pictures and videos to Paul (at Watson) and within the week it was approved and placed on ASAP fulfillment. Within a month I received the missing/replacement items and I’m made whole. The quality/fit and Finnish of these dumbbells are literally a work of art. The handle knurling is aggressive, yet not hand tearing, the weight tolerance precision is perfect, the dumbbell weight balance is spot on… There’s not much else I can say, the set is perfect as you would expect with a precision CNC made set of Marine grade Stainless Steel Dumbbells. I’m in awe every time I step into my gym and put hands on these dumbbells. Not only are they a statement piece, the functionality and attention to detail are priceless. Next up is ordering plates!

    James helped me through the whole process, answering endless questions so we ended up with the right equipment. The delivery turned up on time and everything was well packed for transit. The pulley needed building and the instructions were very clear. The actual equipment is very good quality. All round great experience.

    I’ve been shopping with Watson for almost 20 years now and they have ever once disappointed me. My latest purchase was a custom order, they patiently answered all of my daft questions, made suggestions and then delivered when they said they would. It is absolutely rock solid (as is the norm!) but also the most beautiful lifting platform I’ve ever seen. Whenever I need any fitness equipment, they are my first stop.

    Made to order. Was looking for the dog bone attachment for ages. Reasonable price considering it was made to order, is quality and sturdy and have no doubt it will last. Easy communication with the company. Customer service was great. Delivery was seamless. Product was packaged well and was just what was expected.

    Everything about this company is first-class. From the moment I placed my order, until its arrival at my house in West Virginia, I was treated like a VIP. The sales representative, James Bodman, did a phenomenal job at assisting me with my order. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, from the moment the order left their warehouse in the UK, to the moment the order arrived at U.S. Customs, to the moment it arrived at my house. Quality of the equipment is out of this world! Can't recommend this company enough!!!

    Just had a home gym installed, full of Watson Equipment. The quality is truly second to none. Everything from the initial consult to the design process and shipping (not to mention how well everything was packed) was awesome. Eben was a true pro throughout and was even there on FaceTime to guide us through the installation. Would highly recommend

    Top quality equipment: sturdy, good looking with perfect biomechanics. Great customer services starting from sales to installation.

  • 5/5 Nicholas S. 10 months ago on Google
    I felt supported (and never pressured) through my buying experience from start to finish! Connecting with the same individual through WhatsApp was extremely helpful and provided a personal touch. We were both able to share images of my space and multiple items of equipment which helped bring things to life for me. Delivery was amazingly fast and the gents who installed my gear were polite, warm, down to earth and extremely professional. Quality is as expected and as someone who appreciates quality, Watson really do hit the mark! I know it's cliche, but for me personally, having good gear makes me look forward to training and that's worth the investment to me! Thanks Lucas, Stuart and James!

    Best quality bars on the market. The bars and dumbbells in the photos are nine years old and have held up brilliantly despite the constant use! Have recently just placed my third order with Watson. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Shaun S. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered a couple of small equipment items for my home gym, I asked for black and Watson contacted me to ask what type. I asked for it to be the same as my other equipment from a different manufacturer and they totally nailed it. Their equipment is awesome and it fits perfectly into my gym. Customer service to deliver all perfect. Thanks Watson

  • 5/5 Sean P. 8 months ago on Google
    As ever, excellent service and products from Watson Gym. I recently purchased an adjustable pulley and wall-mounted half rack, and the quality of build is outstanding. I also ordered a myriad of accessories and they too are exceptional. The service, thank you Sophie, was also brilliant. Lots of communication, attentive support, which ultimately led to a very positive experience. I've bought from Watson Gym in the past, and expect to continue to do so in the future. I also heartily recommend them to anyone else if you are looking for robust no-nonsense technically excellent weight-lifting equipment. Plus, I appreciate that supporting Watson Gym supports UK jobs and manufacturing.

    The best gym equipment money can buy in my opinion. I haven't ordered a ton of stuff from them, but everything I have ordered has been absolutely perfect and has exceeded my expectations. Lovely welds, buttery smooth bearings and knurling that strikes a perfect balance between grip and not destroying your hands. What's more, it's so well made that it doesn't seem to pick up any wear even with regular use, so I suspect buying Watson kit is actually cheaper in the long run. Also, the sales person I spoke to (Sophie) knew their products well and was able to both answer my questions and suggest a product that might be what I was looking for (and she was right!). I do plan to set up my own home gym one day, and when I do, I'll be filling it with as much Watson kit as possible. Until then, I'll just continue to be the weird guy who takes his own attachments to the gym with him! :)

🫤 Gone downhill since COVID-19. Not enough lane swimming sessions, price for swim has doubled, showers either don't work or temperature is not consistent. Staff still pleasant though. Needs investment.

😠 As the Rogue (calibrated) plates belong to 'Jon', and aren't for general/day pass use, this would be a wasted trip for any powerlifter. (The cast iron plate selection is a complete mix and mash, and of course none will be the advertised weight). The bar selection is also limited to the 'cheaper' va...
