The Origin

The boxing classes are brilliant. Really nice gym, everyone is so friendly.

I can’t really compare this gym to other gyms because this is the first time I’ve entered a gym, and actually stuck to it.My experience here has been really good, even though I’m like a matchstick man walking among gladiators, with no idea what I’m doing. The staff are friendly and always helpful. Even the gym’s members are friendly enough to give you some advice and pointers on how to use the equipment and each muscle groups to target. Some even offer encouragement when you’re training on your own which I think is really good of them. Gives you that extra boost of motivation!If you’re new to the gym, or any other gym, don’t feel like you don’t belong because they’re bigger than you, or they can lift heavier than you. Every one starts out with their own reasons to join. Origin has a great vibe, no one is judging so if you’re looking to join and finding it difficult to choose a gym, then definitely give them a try.Women - you’ll also find it to be very welcoming. Highly recommended.

Their flexible monthly Membership is not in actual fact flexible or monthly. You have to give them a months notice to cancel. And should you forget they will process to harass you and chase you even though you’ve not attended them gym in months. So there has been no use of service. I see why people go to the bigger brand gyms now. For peace of mind a true FLEXIBLE MEMBERSHIP

They have a trap to put your account in arrears. When you do monthly membership, they don’t make any contract or take sign from you and they will inform you that if you want to cancel membership just cancel direct debit. Once you do cancel direct debit, they put your account in arrears and send you threatening email. Also, you will see a reply from gym manager after my feedback explaining what is direct debit rule in general with other companies. About the gym? One of the oldest rusty equipment you will ever see in your life at Origin gym. No wonder why people don’t want to go there. Good luck with your monthly membership.

Not great for women. Mostly male gym goers which I guess is expected as I signed up with my husband but I feel intimidated to go on my own when he’s not there. Also no air conditioning which means you can’t really workout effectively during summer especially with the recent heatwaves. Reasonable price is the only reason why they get mid rating from me.

Good straightforward, no non-sense gym. Good range of equipment available. Only downside is that the changing room could do with a bit of TLC. Other than that, I'm pretty happy to keep working out here.

Just a scummy gym If I’m being completely honest. They set you up for a trap to get put into arrears, it’s quite sad actually. You have to give an entire months notice before cancellation, and there’s no clear option to cancel they said you have to write to them which is just completely disingenuous as they know most people will not do this. They put in the monthly membership “flexible” but it’s really not, that’s just there to give you a false sense of security. They are probably going to reply to this acting as if they care and are sorry for any inconvenience, just to attempt to keep up appearances, but in actuality they don’t care at all and just want to take your money. If they really did care they would make the cancellation process much easier but instead they keep this trap here. Most companies cancellation notice is usually a few days, I’m not sure what human on this planet is going to know that they want to cancel their membership an ENTIRE month into the future. Not only that, but they’ll try and send you threatening emails and attempt to legally strongarm you into paying and they try and make you pay an extra £25 as well AND they will try and send debt collectors after you, for a trap THEY set up. It’s disgusting and scummy. The worst part about it is, the machines are rusty and tatted and usually don’t have grips, and all around out dated, they’ll try and say that it’s due to “taking pride in being old school” but really they are just greedy kleptomaniacs, that don’t want to spend money on repairs and getting machines that are up to date and match the information that we have about exercise science today. Just an all around terrible experience at this gym. Please save your money and go to a gym that is worth your time and money because I can assure you this one is not it.

Joined when the gym reopened. Love the place! old school weights, great atmosphere, everything disinfected. others users are friendly and respectful which shows how great it is being run! thanks guys you're making my journey back to shape enjoyable

Great facility. Took my 5 year old for his boxing / boxercise class and was very impressed. The value for money is incredible ! Two male and one female trainers were knowledgeable friendly and engaging which put my son instantly at ease. Quite a long tough session but the boy enjoyed every moment and is keen to return which of course we will. As I get a better understanding of the facility I will update the post in due course. If your local and want to introduce your children to the importance of exercise in a fun way this place is ideal
