Reach Gym Southampton - (Near , UK)

5 /5 Naomi: Well equipped gym, full of friendly people. Staff always approachable and happy to help. Has a nice social atmosphere that you dont always get in big chain gyms. What I particularly like is the different areas available to work out in, theres a safe space for everyone from beginners to advanced weightlifters. Then of course to relax after a hard work out there is the pool, jacuzzi, spa and sauna. These are well maintained, clean and easy to access. Perfect way to end or start the day.

5 /5 Oliver Rampling: I trained here for a matter of months and thoroughly enjoyed every session, it’s nice and quiet in the out of peak times and not overly crowded in the busier periods. A relaxing swim and sauna after each session is something I also love about this gym, very friendly staff, very accommodating and if you’re looking for heavy steel plates. This is your place - would 10/10 recommend this gym to anybody in the area

5 /5 Joseph Philpin: A very good gym for a fair price. Some areas of the gym may be a little rundown but everything works fine. The staff are lovely and very helpful. It is always clean and the swimming pool and sauna are always great to unwind after a long week. My favourite thing is how quiet it is, even at busy times I very rarely find myself waiting for equipment and it’s nice to have a bit of space whilst working out.

5 /5 Phill: Honestly, when I first walked in I was a little bit cautious. Certainly there are parts that could do with some refurbishment, but by the end of my first workout, I was really invested in the place. Its a quiet gym, with plenty of space and some really solid equipment. The upstairs is a bit more up to date than the downstairs, but I find myself somehow preferring the downstairs anyway. It has the vibe of a real body-builder gym, which I appreciate. The equipment is rugged & you feel properly close to the metal. The staff are really friendly as well, I would absolutely recommend this place. If I were to give one criticism, it would be the inconsistent weight labelling on the machines. On some its lbs and some its kg, but on some its just the counted number of weights. Its a little awkward when youre first switching from another gym, but if youre consistent with the same machines, you can get progressive overload by just making sure number go up on consecutive visits.

5 /5 Maja Hill: TLDR Its great value for money, friendly staff, warm pool, sauna and free classes. For me its an easy 5 stars, but lets start with the bad stuff. Huge car park, but its not obvious as its through the arch behind. Maybe park in Lidl and then walk down on your first visit if youre not sure. The whole place could do with a coat of paint and TLC, if this is important to you its probably not your gym. The layout is super confusing, the pool is obvious but the sauna is well hidden. The free weights and boxing area is in its space ground floor, the fun machines and yoga are upstairs down a completely different corridor. Lockers are confusing, youll need a key from reception, ignore the pound slot in the door. Changing room floors can get wet; Sauna, showers and pool, theres a lot of water. Now the good news: The cleaner seems to live in the place, hes always mopping and emptying bins. The pool does vary in temperature but its always the warmest I know of. If you want mostly swim time the membership is probably worth it for just that. Yoga, Pilates, swim aerobics, over 50s etc all the classes are free. There are currently 3 yoga classes a week if you can handle it. It just doesnt feel like somewhere for posers, people are there for health and genuine development not to just look good. Maybe you dont want the punch bags or boxing ring, perhaps the very intimidating free weights aret for you, or running machines dont float your boat? Just find the part that is your thing and enjoy. Any questions there will be someone on reception and they are super friendly.
