Fit Club Northwood

I've been a member for six months. Pros: - You rarely have to wait for a machine. I haven't been upstairs to the weight room so I can't comment on that but downstairs you can usually find a machine. The only times I haven't been able to use a machine that I wanted to was during busy times (5:00PM - 7:30 PM, which is understandable). - There's a wide variety of machines to choose from. I like the amount of choice. - Never very crowded and other members seem nice. Cons: - Currently only half of the treadmills are working. One stopped working within the last couple of days but the others haven't worked since I've been a member. There are signs on a couple of the treadmills that say they're closed off for social distancing but I wonder if that's really the case. - Sanitising spray is usually water. - Music is too loud. This seems like part of an ongoing trend where businesses - all kinds of businesses, not just gyms - play bad music very loudly. I'm sure it's meant to be motivational but it's just intrusive. I have a pair of over the ear noise-cancelling headphones and sometimes I struggle to hear my music. And I'm listening to rock music, not soft music. I imagine it's a lot worse for people with earbuds. Half the current volume would be great. That way people who don't want to use headphones can still hear the music and people who do use headphones don't have to battle to hear their own musical choice. It's really close to me so it's nice to be able to walk down and workout whenever I want. If I had to drive and it was more of an undertaking to get there I'd maybe look somewhere else.

Excellent gym Loads of machines, barbells, benches, racks etc so you never have to wait for anything Plenty of machines that other gyms do not have, such as sled, ski erg, boxing rig, monkey bars, battle rope Management and staff are all very friendly

Really surprised to see the negative reviews as the management have always been so helpful with good communication during the 3 years I've been a member. The classes are great and varied as is the gym floor equipment. All the staff and instructors are so helpful and friendly. Really recommend this gym great value for money. No hidden costs for classes that other gyms in the area have .
