Langrish-Dixon Clare (CLD) We stayed recently at the hotel for a short break so got to use the health club as hotel residents. The dressing rooms are clean and large with separate cubicles for dressing after showering. It was a shame that when we were there the jacuzzi was out of order but this wasn’t a major issue as the indoor pool was fantastic. Really large and a great temperature for swimming lengths. The only issue I’d raise is that we did have to wait a while for our rhassoul mud treatment and there were no clear instructions on what to do as it was self led. I ended up asking but it still wasn’t clear but we enjoyed the treatment nonetheless and our skin was left feeling super soft afterwards. There is a lovely looking cafe in the spa which had a festive afternoon tea on offer but we didn’t get a chance to use this whilst we were there. All in all, I’d say that the spa facilities are good, especially for a hotel spa but staff did seem a little preoccupied / busy.

Chris G This is a first class studio that caters for all levels in a friendly, professional and encouraging manner. I’ve been doing the Gentle Pilates sessions which are the right mixture of challenging but achievable exercise. Everyone in the group is supported in an encouraging way, whatever the level they are at in their journey. Great coaches and coaching!

Ivan Caglioni Ive been a member of this gym since 2022, and honestly, I’m shocked to see any negative reviews. My experience has been nothing but positive from day one. The gym is always clean, the equipment is modern and well-maintained. The staff has always been friendly, professional, and supportive. What really stands out is the welcoming atmosphere and sense of community even at 6am. It’s one of the main reasons I’ve been consistent with my fitness routine for the past few years. Everyone’s experience is different, but personally, I’ve had nothing but great experiences here. I’d absolutely recommend this gym to anyone looking to make fitness a consistent and enjoyable part of their life.

Kirstie Hart Joined for the Joint Pain Programme struggling to walk without pain. I was out of breath simply walking to the toilet and struggled to get up and down from the floor when playing with the grandchildren. I was facing the possibility of a painful steroid injection and medication for high cholesterol and blood pressure. Coupled with a change to a healthy eating plan I achieved a weight loss of 7stones (almost 45kgs). I complimented the gym programme with walking a weekly Park Run. As my strength improved I went on to running the 5k park run progressing to 10k events. This year, 2 years after starting the gym programme I successfully completed my first half marathon. I now no longer require the medication previously advised. My blood pressure and cholesterol are now healthy. Nuffield gave me and improved my confidence in exercise. The staff are amazing and still available post course for support and advice, particularly Lauren from Tunbridge Wells. The course gave participants the opportunity to explore all areas of the gym including the swimming pool and fitness classes in a friendly and inclusive way. We were encouraged with support to build our own training programme selecting areas of the gym we enjoyed whilst keeping a varied programme to work all areas of the body. We were also shown adaptations for any specific health needs. I was at a great risk of serious health problems which have been addressed with the support of Nuffield and my life has completely changed for the better.

Bielert Jasmin (jasminisasuperhero) Jamie is wonderful. Always answering all of my questions. The gym looks really good after the refurb recently and everything is much more accessible. They got new equipment in too. I can wholeheartedly recommend that gym. The trainers are amazing and always there to support.

Owen May-Jones Havent been for a while because Im out the country but when Im back this will be the boxing club I go to. Aggy and the other trainers are knowledgeable, respectful, friendly, and great at motivating their students. Great bunch of people to train with
