Everlast Gyms - Colchester

The facilities are adequate and very good value for a group that now meets 3 mornings a week to talk and hopefully exercise at the same time! All the staff are excellent and ALWAYS make you feel at home. We will discuss any subject and as mostly retired we have a long experience of income tax, coffee making, telephones, sport, banking and insurance but not necesairily DIY!A gym is many things to many people and we try to help members do their own thing, conversation is not compulsory but helpful in the heat of the sauna, steam room, or the pain when trying to complete targets!The long awaited refurbishment will hopefully make the LAFitness/Sports Direct/Everlast gym a super gym for super staff and super members.

Moved to this gym from puregym recently due to the number of young people messing about. Much better for 30+ Yrs old but the equipment and facilities are quite dated and in need of updating. Would be a higher rating with new equipment.

I go just for the treadmill and pool mainly. Facilities are ok. The changing rooms/showers don't seem to have changed in years (since before it was Everlast) but it's acceptable.

Love Everlast Gym. Love, love, love, love it for so many reasons. Some of which are for the fact that they have a full size swimming pool, a steam room and a sauna all included in their £20 monthly subscription. Friendly members of staff always welcome you in. I highly recommend Everlast Gym Colchester. You will be as happy as I am since I joined. You will be glad you did join.

Nice little gym but well equipped. My only hope is that the squat rack is moved so that the ceiling doesn't thwart the overhead press.For the price of £20 (12 month tie in) you get the gym, a good sized pool, steam and sauna rooms, as well as large and clean changing facilities.

there's a machine that's non functional since more than 3 months and no one seems to bothered to get it fix it.Gym is not 24 hours.

Great gym overall and great staff who are always friendly and welcoming. The only downsides are that it does get very busy at peak times and the car park is small.

Half of the pool is always reserved for swimming lessonsDuring family swimming period, other members are not nice to us as an ethic minority as they often find excuses to tell you off like you are not supposed to swim on this side"

It is a Decent gym. Crowd is fine. There are classes which are pretty good on a daily basis both morning and evening. Swimming pool is temperature controlled which is the best part and sauna and steam rooms are also there. Steam and sauna could have been bigger as it gets crowded sometimes. Rest staff is always available for help and are very friendly. Meets all basic requirements.

The staff are pleasant and the gym is clean. The swimming pool and sauna/steamroom are nice touches. The gym itself is pretty much useless for many people.There is 1 of each machine and many are broken. There is 1 set of each dumbells and it is difficult to be able to get to use the one correct for you. It is very difficult to get on any machine even at low peak times, and when you do, you will have members in extremely unsafe proximity to you (shoulder to shoulder most times). Mind your toes.The space is poorly designed, machines are compacted together, some in eaves. You will very likely bang your head at some point. There is some kind of race track section that takes a huge amount of space, and there is a punchbag section that when in use echos around the whole gym. There are way more treadmills than required. Maybe it is poorly air-conditioned, but it gets extremely hot in there.In the changing rooms, you have teenagers taking selfies in the mirror irrespective of people being naked in the background.I don't really get this gym. Who is their target market? To me, it seems very unfunctional and awkward. If you're there for classes, sauna, and swimming, it's probably great, but the gym itself is just like a large garage gym that's half broken.
