    Love this Gym. Open 24/7, clean and tidy with fantastic equipment and weights plus great staff. A Gym to suit all abilities. Doesn’t matter if you’re into weight training or callisthenics, cardio or just want to keep fit, I would thoroughly recommend this gym. Nobody is judged, it’s very friendly.

    Fantastic place… expensive but worth it, my only improvement would be that they should invest in a sauna. If they want to become the leading gym in the south west of the UK they need to look at this sorta stuff. That being said the gym is amazing but Watson please get a sauna

    Trained in the Watson since it’s opened, and honestly wouldn’t train anywhere else by choice! Equipment is the best I’ve ever used, and have trained in many different gyms. The staff are highly professional and super friendly! Seems a daunting gym coming into at first because of the size however, once you’re in here, you won’t want to leave! Would recommend training here to anyone, the newest of starters up to the professional bodybuilders! The 24/7 is perfect for me too, as it means I don’t have to worry about training around my 3 current jobs! Honestly top notch gym!

    As an avid gym goer, I feel I know an excellent gym when I see one. As an elite military veteran, I feel I know an environment which fosters great team spirit and inclusiveness. The Watson Gym covers both of those aspects in bucket loads. This gym has personally helped me deal with stress and fatigue, whilst I have personally noticed other fellow gym users boom in self-confidence and improvements; notwithstanding the elleviation of other knock-on effects of hectic working lifestyles. As well as a great crowd and equipment second to none, the staff provide a myriad of invaluable advice. I've personally been on the receiving end of insightful new training methodologies and also offered some of my own when asked by other fellow gym users. If you want to keep yourself to yourself; you can. If you want to dip your toe in some all inclusive banter and motivation; you can. Whatever you are after, you'll find it here. You just need to make that first step through the door and the rest will follow.

    Been going to the Watson’s gym for a while now and I can official say it’s the best gym I’ve been too. Open 24/7, massive range of equipment, gym owners are sound. Highly recommend 💪🏽

    The BEST gym around. You will not get a better ‘inclusive’ atmosphere in any other gym. Plus the equipment is outstanding with a wide range of machines, free weights and plenty of cardio machines.

    Watson is a great place to train with even better equipment! If you’re looking to switch gyms from your standard Snap or Pure and don’t mind spending that little bit extra on a membership, this is the place. It will level you up 10 fold

    I've been coming to this gym for 5 years. Previously having been a member of the world famous Oxygen Gym in Kuwait for 7 years, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find anything close to its level of service, equipment, cleanliness, and facilities, but I was fortunate enough to move to an area with the added bonus of The Watson Gym (before it was 24/7). I've seen the gym evolve over the years, I've supported the moving of equipment as the space and selection grew, and I was very happy to continue paying my membership throughout the Covid years. Why? Because, The Watson Gym 24/7 is like a family. Even though all members have their own lives to live and their own goals to attain, when one walks through the threshold, one is instantly greeted by anyone already training - from every demographic (age, height, weight, background, etc.). It's a melting pot of positive reinforcement, kindness, totally non-judgemental, and accommodating in every way. I am most excited about the plans Louis has for the gym, but even without them, this place won't be rivalled. Personally, I've been able to train for my first ever powerlifting competition, which saw me take 3 PBs, and twice broke a SW Regional Record. I attribute a big part of that success to the equipment in this gym, because it is as close to comp spec as one could hope for and the range of calibrated plates is astronomical. That said, this isn't a powerlifting gym. It's a well rounded gym, catering to all shapes, sizes, and needs, without any egos. I wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Long may The Watson Gym 24/7 reign!

    I recently joined Watson Gym back in September and it's a top-notch fitness haven. The gym equipment is unparalleled in its high-tech features, setting the standard for excellence. The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Ample parking space adds to the convenience, and the facility is meticulously maintained. A 5-star experience that exceeds expectations!

    I was nervous to go here to begin with because I had this idea in my head of what it would be like - blokey and intimidating. I honestly couldn't have been more wrong!! Everyone is SO FRIENDLY, and everyone is accepted regardless or their size or fitness level. I've actually for the first time EVER started to enjoy exercise because of the amazing team and welcoming atmosphere at Watson Gym. My PT Sarah is absolutely fantastic - the sessions are varied, she pushes me to go further, keeps me motivated, and has been great at understanding my health concerns and adapting exercises to ensure I get the most out of the sessions. I wish I had plucked up the courage to join sooner!

    Best premium 24/7 gyms. The equipment is phenomenal with a huge range, it’s clean and organised and the members really respect it as well, so even though it’s not always staffed it’s always set and ready for you to get stuck into your training. The staff are super friendly, non judgemental and supportive so if you have gym anxiety they’re here to help as much or as little as you want. The ladies only section is the best I’ve ever seen, it’s not packed with cardio equipment (how it usually is). It’s basically a paired down version of the main gym in a room so you can lift heavy in confidence. They are consistently working on ways to make it better and it’s obvious everyone who is here takes pride in their work! Honestly, so pleased it’s my local! Couldn’t ask for a better place!! No other 24/7 gyms match it in the South UK. The Watson Gym Group is the best where everyone is working on doing and being their best. Thanks for being in Frome!

    Working locally for the week and needed a gym, Watson 24 7 is amazing, staff are helpful and friendly they have all the equipment and machines you could ever need and environment is spot on! I would highly recommend this gym. Cheers

    This is a fantastic gym. I travel 45 minutes to train here and it is absolutely worth it. The equipment is incredible, and the standards of excellence throughout the facility are first class. It is a privilege to workout here.

  • 5/5 Mihai F. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the nicest gym in Frome and surrounding area. Equipment is new and well maintained, gym goers are polite and even has a woman-only-space (which I'm told by my partner is amazing). Only downside is due to location you need to cycle/drive to get there, but plenty of parking and easily accessible.

  • 5/5 Ellie M. 9 months ago on Google
    Trained here a few times this week on a day pass with my boyfriend as we were staying at the center parcs round the corner. It’s an absolute gem, kit is really well maintained and staff super friendly! Would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Louise B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. The staff are so welcoming, they help when you need it and leave you in peace when you dont. The equipment is incredible, a wide range for everything you may want to do. The ladies area is great, especially if you are new, nervous about being in a gym or just want more space when it is busy. I'm making more progress with my goals here, than I have in any other gym previously. Love it. Join. You wont regret it.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been really impressed by the Watson Gym. I don't think I've ever seen so much really top quality equipment in one gym. On top of that the staff have been super friendly and helpful, probably more so than any other gym I've been to (and I've been to quite a few). I've recently moved to Frome and thought I was going to struggle to find anywhere up to the standard of the gym I'd just left. The Watson has proved me wrong and I'm really pleased. The gym is kept spotlessly clean and all the equipment is incredibly well maintained. I suspect I've found the best gym in Frome with the bonus that it's open 24 hours.

    Overpriced mediocre gym . Absolute sweat pit. Owners to tight to even put the air con on . Everyone in the gym are pure sweaty messes . Totally ruins your session . Uncomfortable training conditions .

  • 5/5 Laura P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really love coming to this gym, I was incredibly nervous to join but everyone is so incredibly welcoming and friendly. The staff are all really lovely, happy to help and always seeing how they can help you progress. Thank you all so much for your help!

  • 5/5 Gemma H. 2 years ago on Google
    I only joined a few weeks ago after my husband recommended it. It's a friendly gym, both staff & members, extremely clean with good quality equipment & tunes. The ladies only section is great if you feel nervous & more comfortable but there is such a vast range of ages & abilities that come here. Highly recommended myself now 👌

  • 5/5 Estird K. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant gym! Such a great place to build your confidence. I used to always train in the mornings as the gym is relatively quiet which I found nice whilst settling in, however I’ve since really enjoyed coming in the evenings when there’s more of an atmosphere and regular faces to chat to. The owner also has a lovely little sausage dog who makes it worth coming in alone!

  • 5/5 Ella B. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely gym! Only been to a few gyms before but none of them have been as friendly, welcoming and enjoyable as Watson! The colour scheme sold me initially but the friendly and encouraging environment kept me coming. The woman’s only section was a great help when I was starting out and helped me build up my confidence to the point that I feel comfortable working out on the main floor now. So thankful I joined!

  • 5/5 Will C. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been coming here a few years now and must say that it’s an all round 5* gym. The owner Louis is super friendly and has successfully cultivated a great friendly atmosphere for beginners and experienced alike — nobodies judging you here, we’re just all out to improve together. Jordan the PT helped me make some real progression in the last year even though I’m a pretty seasoned gym-goer; I had picked up a knee, shoulder and back issue which we worked through together to safely nurture them back to fitness. The staff in the gym are also amazing, they’ll happily help you with any admin queries, give you a spot on an exercise or a quick lesson on how to use a piece of equipment if you’re not sure, and just generally could not be more helpful and welcoming. The gym is constantly being improved (without shutdowns!) and it’s great to see members of all experiences talking to each other and helping each other out on the floor. I’ve been to 4 or 5 pretty prestigious gyms before around the country and this my favourite by a mile! Big up Louis and the team, give it a try — you won’t be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I've only been training at the Watson for a month, but I love it already. There's loads of different machines so although it might mess up your routine a little, you'll never be waiting around as there's multiple machines for each muscle group. Enough adjustable benches in the free weights area to cope with peak hours and there's a huge range of dumbbells. Although there's a cloakroom hidden away and toilets, there aren't proper changing rooms which can be a pain if you're coming straight from work or school and can't change beforehand. Music can be a little bit loud in some places too, but I've got rubbish earbuds which don't have great noise cancelling.
