Nuffield Health Reading Fitness & Wellbeing Gym

Pool constantly cold and not nice to swim in - the heating element keeps on breaking down. Lockers / most dont work. The security gate doesnt always work. New Womens showers are nice.

Average gym at best. Equipment is average; 4-5 cardio machines always out of action, today I counted 7 in total they have 4 tvs in the main gym, only 2 are ever on, they advertise tv and entertainment through the cardio machines, it never works! Staff are ok but doesnt have the most welcoming feel There is only one full set of weights for the whole gym oh and even the main gym clock had stopped! Surely its just the basic things?!

Great place to go if you are looking for unwarranted parenting advice. If youre looking for a gym with friendly staff probably worth looking elsewhere.

This my favourite go to gym in Reading. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The steam room and sauna are always a good way to chill after a hard workout session with Marek Kaczmarczyk who is a professional PT from who you can expect progress via a personalised workout plan along 1-1 sessions to have a clear understanding on what area each exercise is targeting. The staff at reception are also great and always smiling. The gym can be quite busy during peak hours but theres enough space for everyone to get on with their workout and a dedicated PT is always the way if youre looking to achieve long term results.

I have been a member at Nuffield Reading for many years and am generally happy with the facilities and equipment in there. However, I rarely use the swimming pool (which, as other people have commented, is rather too small) and tend to shower at home. I have hardly been using the gym equipment in recent years, but only done classes (body pump being a favourite). Late last year I felt I was not pushing myself enough and decided to book some Personal Training back in November '22. I have had a few sessions with Marek Kaczmarczyk since and have found them to be very beneficial. He has a vast knowledge on anything ranging from correct exercise execution for maximum personal benefit, injury prevention, nutrition to supplementation. It helps that he is a very likeable, extremely positive and approachable person, who it is fun to work out with. I am going to continue after the initial 3 months I paid for, as working out with Marek has given me a new lift and desire to get fitter and healthier this year. I know he can take me there!
