A.B.C Gym Reviews

  • Stuart Ward

    Don’t be fooled by the relatively small exterior — this gym is positively TARDIS-like once you get inside! There’s a fantastic and extensive range of free weights and resistance machines, and it just keeps going. There are two floors, with the upper floor providing even more equipment as well as a dedicated area offering a wide variety of fitness classes.

    One of the gym’s greatest strengths, though, is its people. Jerry, the owner/manager, is an extremely friendly and likeable character with a huge amount of knowledge and experience in the fitness industry. He’s approachable, welcoming and clearly cares about the gym and the people who use it.

    My partner and I are currently working with Darius, one of the personal trainers, and we really can’t praise him highly enough. After both having some time away from the gym due to health issues, Darius has done an outstanding job of helping us get back into training safely and confidently. He listens to what we want to achieve, tailors our sessions accordingly and knows exactly when to encourage us to push ourselves that little bit further. We’re already feeling the benefits and making real progress towards our goals.

    There’s a genuinely friendly, community-spirited atmosphere throughout the gym. No posing, no attitude and none of that intimidating feeling you can sometimes get in larger gyms. People are simply there to train, enjoy themselves and get on with each other.

    Another massive selling point for us is the excellent access. Being able to get into the gym at 5am means we can complete our training before heading off to work, which makes fitting exercise into our lives so much easier.

    Membership prices are also very competitive, with a good range of subscription options depending on what you need.

    All in all, this is a bit of a hidden gem — much bigger and better equipped than you would ever imagine from the outside, professionally run and, most importantly, genuinely welcoming. If you’re looking for a well-equipped independent gym with knowledgeable staff, excellent personal training and a proper community feel, I’d thoroughly recommend giving it a try.

    I’ve been going to the Pro classes at ABC gym for over 2.5 years now and absolutely love them! Great atmosphere, even at the 6am one 🤣 and easy to follow exercises with great support from the gym instructors.
    No frills or awkwardness, and a great bunch of members too.
    Wouldn’t go anywhere else as I get all I need from Jerry, Cat & the rest of the amazing team. Thanks guys ♥️

    Excellent gym. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. The Pro Transformer programme is great. I feel the strongest and fittest I have been in years. There is a mix of ages and abilities in the classes so no one should feel it's not for them. Cannot recommend it enough, best choice I made.

  • Zoe

    ABC is the best gym that I've ever joined. They are very friendly and knowledgeable and the PRO and AVT programme is excellent. You are made to feel really comfortable and supported not only from the staff but other members in the gym. The changes and achievements I’ve made since joining here are great and I’ve never been fitter or stronger than now. Was the best thing I done reaching out to join on PRO.

  • Sam Green

    Fantastic Gym, absolutely love going 4 times a week. The trainers are so supportive and friendly and the classes can be adapted for every level of fitness and the standard of training is top class. Lots of classes available to cater for anytime of the day that suits. All events are recognised like Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day etc with a card & gift which really does means so much. It’s fantastic value for money and covers any budget. Jerry is always available to help with any questions. IMO ABC is the best gym in town! ❤️

  • Nigel Rosehill

    I have just completed the 6 week Pro Transformation and am so delighted I have now signed up to carry on as a full member doing more of the same. The support and encouragement are great and holistic to include nutrition depending on what you are looking for. The facilities are excellent, there are a number of memberships to suit all and there is a wide range of people looking to improve themselves at all levels. The gym has a friendly non-intimidating feel and I am so glad I found it!

  • Shan Whitear

    ABC Fitness has got me exercising again. After going through treatment for breast cancer and severe asthma, I thought I would never exercise again!
    I never feel self conscious and everyone is so supportive. Love it!

  • Kirsty Johnson

    Me and my husband started this gym 5 weeks ago on the 6 week pro transformer sessions. These sessions are hard but really good. The trainers are great and defo push you to your limits. Who would have thought we'd be getting up at 5am to start the 6am sessions! We haven't been weighed yet but can certainly feel and see a different in our clothing. We are definitely thinking about something long term with the gym.
