BS7 Gym

Separated into rooms makes people new to gyms much more comfortable, I find. Great selection of classes and a free personal trainer session when you join makes it so you always feel supported. Free lockers, plus a sauna. Best gym I've belonged to. It also gives you access to the cricket and discounts at several nearby cafés, etc. I do wish there was more space for bikes, and that it opened slightly earlier. There's apparently a swimming pool further away but I need to look into that more before I let the distance knock a star off.

The gym (weights area and excersize rooms) is a decent one and they have a serviceable squash court but it is a bit run down and mouldy.However, my main issue with the gym has been the booking of the squash court. Bewilderingly, the gym uses telephone booking where you have to ring the gym and ask for a specific slot.On two separate occassions this has led to the staff booking the wrong time slot or double booking the court. This meant I turned up and had to wait around for an hour each time for the court to be free again. This was really inconvienent for me and meant I had finish playing later than I wanted to.I asked for some sort of compensation and they unhelpfully offered to 'extend my final month by one week' which makes no sense as I am leaving.It's irritating that the staff made a mistake in the bookings but these things happen - my main gripe is a lack of an online booking system which would make things much easier for everyone and prevent human error.

Well equipped sports gym with good facilities and friendly, welcoming staff. Freezing cold though!?

On signing up you receive 1 free personal training session. I had this session with Rhys whom I cant recommend more. As someone that has experience in gyms I just needed a little guidance, Rhys went over and beyond to show me what exercises I should be doing, how to do them properly aswell as even curating a detailed push/pull training plan.BS7 Gym as a whole is an incredible gym, the layout is perfect for beginners due to the separate rooms, it never seems too busy and the equipment is always working perfectly.

Good gym. It's well equipped - I go for strength training and it's got lots of squat racks and other free weights equipment. And a real plus is it's pretty empty, at least when I go (between 8am and 9am on weekdays, and 9-11 on weekends). There is no waiting for equipment.

Very good timetable for classes and good facilities. Spin classes with Mike are really fun! Lots of squat racks so never have to wait to use it. I always recommend it to friends.

My regular gym, very friendly staff and wide range of equipment to use

Been at this gym since for a few years now and it has gone from strength to strength. A fantastic gym with great facilities, staff are super friendly and always up for a chat before or after a session. The sauna is a great added feature not to mention the addition of the squash court. The HPZ really takes the gym to another level and with it being recently refurbished its just incredible, really gives it that elite sports facility feeling. The gym has recently all been refurbished and it looks phenomenal, from the paint work to the new floor mats just a massive upgrade from the old version. The separation of each room is fantastic so you can pick and choose which room you would like to train in. They have recently moved the machines around in the machine room which has made it so much more spacious and a great environment to train in. Cant speak on the female changing rooms but the male ones are really spacious and clean, their hand soap always smells nice too which is a bonus. One of the best smith machines Ive used in a gym super smooth and makes using it an ease. Staff are always up to help with any questions you may have and very knowledgeable. Never taken a class there so cant really speak on that. Another massive bonus is the lockers to keep belongings, most gyms tend not to have these which is a brilliant feature which other gyms should adopt. The water fountain is also great provides ice cold water every time. Gym is regularly cleaned throughout the day keeping it in great condition all day. Regarding over crowding, it has only ever been over crowded once but that was in January / February when new year members join other than that never really had an issue with over crowding. Parking is great too you can park literally opposite the scenic Bristol County Ground and whilst on the topic of cricket you get free access to cricket matches during the cricket season which tops it all off for me as a massive cricket fan.Overall a definite 5 ⭐️‘s from me

I had an amazing health-check with Nick at BS7 and am so grateful for the time and wisdom he offered! The tips he gave me in that short session have transformed my attitude towards fitness/workout routines - he really simplified the process for me and made it crystal clear what I needed to prioritise. Months later and I am still implementing the practices he gave me.

Basic gym. Only half the staff on reception make eye contact or greet you. When there are cricket matches on, the security to get in is very silly and over the top. I gave up driving here as despite a good size car park, I can't cope with the jobsworth security. 50% of the gym is only available at very limited times as they use it for the cricket club. Tried to book a class once and was told it was fully booked every week by the same people, so basically I couldn't get it in. I don't like the general vibe. But, it's near my house. Which is why I go.
