The Gym Group Chelmsford

Inexpensive gym at £16.99 a month, open 24/7.It is split across two levels, with the free weight area downstairs. It has dumbbells up to 30kg, a smith machine and a standard bench. The cardio equipment and assisted weights are found upstairs. There are running machines, rowers, steppers and cross trainers. There are no swimming facilities and towels or shower gels are not provided. Even though this is a budget gym, it doesn't feel that way as the equipment is clean, staff are friendly and should cater to most peoples' needs.

Lovely gym, nice staff and I really enjoy coming here. I am happy I have joined here and I recommend it to anyone.

I’ve been at this gym for 1 & 1/2 years and I love it here. Friendly atmosphere with nice PTs (shoutout to Cedric who always gives tips on how to improve your exercises). Classes are always good. The gym is always tidy and you regularly see cleaners in there. However it’s not really designed with smaller people in mind. The gym mats are hung up high, all of the pull up bars are wide grip, can’t get a good ROM on the ab crunch machine, lat pull down bar is high and the angled leg press can be left so high your legs can’t reach it to start the set. Kind of annoying when I always have to ask people to do stuff like hanging up a mat for me. But overall a really good gym that has everything you need and is amazing value.

A decent gym in Chelmsford City centre. The equipment is really good and we have got a good area for workouts. There is also facility for lockers and a shower room as well. You got a basement where you have the conventional gym equipment as well. Recommended by me.

EQUIPMENT 5/5 Everything I need is here and clean. Although, I've never joined a class, it's part of the membership and there's usually one on. STAFF 4/5: Generally, eye contact will get you a smile and acknowledgement though I'd expect as a regular, to be recognised by long-standing staff and always get a warm welcome. Although I've never used a PT, I know they have many at the gym. AVAILABILITY 3/5 Despite being a large double-floored gym, the great value will attract more people. This can be a double-edged sword when you don't want to wait for equipment. COMFORT 5/5: It's all properly air-conditioned, music is on, changing rooms and showers are clean. Sanitisers and tissue are available easily. CUSTOMERS: 4/5 This gym attracts all ages and backgrounds. Everyone is civil and considerate in my experience. I've seen very little testosterone fuelled competition which is nice when you just need to get this done as part of your day. Can get a little '6th form' at peak time as a lot of groups of young people come in to work out and get seen which can also reduce availability whilst 3-4 people are around the same machine. OVERALL: If you don't want or need the bells and whistles of sauna/spa/swimming, why pay more? Come here.
