ralphtah If I could give 10 stars, I would. I normally don’t post reviews because I can’t be bothered, unless something is really bad or outstandingly amazing. In the case of Grit13, it’s the latter…outstanding in every way, and some more. Not only because of the nice small group personal training approach or the expertly curated strength/hybrid workouts that push you to the limits, but more importantly because of the amazing community that the founder Toby has created. The clientele? friendly, positive, fun. The trainers? a reflection of Toby’s positivity as a good-hearted encouraging human being. Everyone is welcome at Grit, from every walk of life. Beginner or advanced in your fitness journey, doesn’t matter. Never judged. Always encouraged and pushed hard (boy are we pushed). I’ve never felt fitter in my life. And I cherish the Grit hour I have every day, because it is not just a workout. It’s a relationship. Thank you Toby & Grit13 for making me fall in love with exercise.

Ray Wilson Friendly staff and quiet pool. 4 pounds for an espresso afterwards pretty steep. Clean bar. Not too busy. Jacuzzi still not switched on sfter Covid despite them being open in other poola. Have some noodles handy for a friend to practice swimming. Free use of towels

Robyn Sharpe Great gym. Trainers are amazing and make classes the right level of fun and hard work. Super friendly environment and masses of equipment, meaning you’ll never be waiting around for a bar or dumbbells.

Chris Stilman Joined in 2019 and wish Id joined a lot sooner. Ive been a member of various gyms previously but this place is a complete different animal. Seriously high quality coaching from a superb team. A genuine community amongst the members and coaches. It all comes together to make everyone feel comfortable training, whether they are top level athletes training for competitions, or a complete fitness newbie who needs guidance and support. My fitness and strength gains in the last 18 months or so have been far more than Ive ever achieved previously. Worth every penny.
