Reviews
This gym is located in the Capitol shopping centre in Cardiff City centre, which is convenient for me. The monthly membership fee is very reasonably priced, and it is well equipped, clean, and the effective air conditioning makes it a comfortable environment to work in. The gym staff are friendly and helpful. For members who enjoy training in a group, they also offer daily group exercise classes at no extra cost. It also has a very good physiotherapy facility, which I have found helpful.
My main reason for joining this gym was to strengthen my lower back and improve my general health. I am very fortunate to have a fantastic personal trainer, Mr Luke Routley. He has excellent knowledge about body training techniques, and is a fantastic motivator, who continues to help me push my physical limits in a safe and sustainable way, in order to achieve my health and fitness goals.
Being a member here for almost a year, I can say that I really do enjoy training at this gym. It is my favourite gym in Cardiff.
as a member staff I can honestly say it one of the best gyms I have conducted my personal training from
If - like me - you just want to stick your headphones in and zone out for an hour or so this place is ideal. If you're bothered by a busy gym then give this a miss between 4 and 7 on a week day. Other than that, it's central location, 24hr access and low fee make this a great no-fuss gym for those seeking convenience and ease of access. As other reviews have mentioned there can be a lack of gym etiquette among some members, but again this can be side stepped by avoiding peak times.
The location is great.apart from this I wouldn't recommend it.
The music is too loud,it's like walking into a nightclub,dumbbells only go up to 50 kilo.not enough 1,2 and half kilo weights.you have to search all around the gym which ruins your workout.machines are constantly broken and take weeks to fix.
Staff are not very friendly,and neither are the members,apart from the odd few.most of the members spend more time chatting and on their phones,which is really annoying.there's also a lack of gym etiquette.
One member was chatting to a member of staff for 10 minutes or so.prior to this he was using a machine and stacked it with 25 kilo weights,and didn't bother to take them off.the staff member saw him do this and Did absolutely nothing.it seems they have their favourites and it's okay if you are one of them.if not you're completely ignored.
Terrible gym.go elsewhere if you want to achieve your full potential.I have now cancelled my membership and I am looking for an alternative gym.
Pros (and I had to dig deep for these):
- Close to the center
- Not too expensive (specially if you are a student)
Cons:
- Equipment is old and unmaintained
- Staff is pretty much non-existent unless you pay 1 on 1 classes
- 0 gym etiquette, plates are all over the place, dumbbells are never in order
- The odor is... pretty pretty strong, so you better wear a ton of parfum to try and manage it
- Music is OBNOXIOUSLY loud and terrible, this is even more noticeable with some of the trainers (Ksee in particular just loves to blast noise at full volume)
In conclusion, go here only if you absolutely need to go here or have very serious economical problems, otherwise a 10 minute bike ride to literally anywhere else is completely worth it to avoid this place.
