The Gym Group Strood - (Near , UK)

1 /5 Sara M: This gym is absolutely filthy, with equipment riddled with dust and sweat. The facility is clearly worn down; the machines are old, and the workout areas are constantly dirty. The maintenance and hygiene are unacceptable. Their restrooms are inoperable—the toilets dont flush—and the soap dispensers are so stingy, its virtually impossible to extract any soap for washing your hands. Furthermore, when I asked for something to wipe down sweat, I was told they do not keep tissues or paper towels in the gym area.Asked me to get tissues from home ! Let me be clear: Tissues, functioning toilets, soap, and basic cleanliness are not a luxury; they are a basic necessity. It is beyond me how this facility thinks its acceptable to operate in such a filthy and unhygienic state. Finally, the staff is equally disappointing. The trainers are never present to help or offer support; their presence is negligible, and you cannot rely on them for assistance.

5 /5 Oghenekevwe Felix: Been coming here for some time now. Overall a nice place for fitness enthusiasts. Classes are really fun and instructors go above and beyond to teach everyone at their pace. Can’t complain.

2 /5 Manuel Alfonso Montero Mendoza: Good gym, maybe it would get more than 2 stars if they provided any sort of decent WiFi, given it is 2025 and most other competitors manage to do so. Do better.

5 /5 Pete Hayward: After years at another local gym the where the prices kept rising and the standards kept slipping I decided to try one of the local "budget Gyms" 1st impression was the staff where a bit stand offish but I was wrong after finding them to be super helpful and welcoming with good advice had a few chats with Jenny and Mike whos classes are well structured and testing also Ellen has helped with advise on stretching and wellbeing The gym its self has everything you need can be busy at times like anywhere else you are always going to get the weigh crahers and the look at me heros The gym is clean and tidy 90% of the time would suggest getting a plumber to look at the gents shower / toilets something isnt quite right But all being said a good "Budget Gym" with Some really nice staff

4 /5 Tom Bombadil: Not bad but the treadmills are rather basic. The whole thing shakes when running on them and the screen/panel is very low down - not ideal for taller people. This is a budget gym so you get what you pay for. Youll get a workout, sure, but its not got the comforts and bells and whistles of places like Nuffield Health, Virgin Active, David Lloyd, etc. The window view from the gym is a bit disappointing too, most of the treadmills face a wall/mirror rather than a lovely window view. I like the app, you can see how many are in the gym at any given time which helps you plan around peak times. I believe that usually equipment is available - companies like this tend to oversubscribe their facilities and bet on people not going regularly! The gym has an open plan layout so you can see all your fellow gym goers, sometimes its nice for there to be some space separation to break up the room a bit and for some privacy. Overall, acceptable value and good location. If you get the off-peak subscription the value proposition is particularly compelling. I just wish the gym equipment was a bit better.
