Great gym with a good variety of equipment. Treadmills, steppers, bikes, weights machines and free weights. Staff are welcoming and helpful and there's access 24 hours a day.

I hope to leave an honest and complete review of what I like and don't like about my short time at flacks fit.

Positives:

Gym is ok value for money for a small 24hr local gym.

Lots of equipment - several of certain machines etc which makes busy times more bearable.

Very friendly staff/ gym ethos is very positive.

Internal of the gym always seems clean and tidy - frequently see staff tidying up weights etc and cleaning bathrooms.

24 hrs access

Negatives:

The gym is absolutely freezing at the moment which is putting me off going. Heat lamps are present in the top floor weights area, however they never seem to be on when I go and unless im missing something, no obvious way to turn them on.
Feels like energy cost saving at sacrifice of member comfort.

Some of the equipment isn't in the best shape. Clearly VERY well used - far from a premium feel compared to other gyms. Hands often left dirty after using equipment which isn't pleasant.

The entrance hall to the gym is damp and mouldy. So much so there is a strong smell upon entry and the growing black patches across the walls are very off putting and can go several days/ weeks looking like nothing is being done to combat it.

It's an old building, so a certain amount of cold and damp are to be expected but the extent to which it is overlooked is disappointing.

Not cleaning the mould regularily, nor adequately heating the gym really lets flacks down from feeling like a very pleasant gym.

It's understandable that some of this is easier said than done, such as mould several meters up. I'm sure everyone understands that is difficult to deal with regularily. But walking past the same patches of head to floor level height mould on the walls on a daily basis is unnaceptable.

And heat lamps are expensive to run! But why have them to not use them? Why not take some inspiration from the pub garden and provide members with an on demand, but sensibly timed heat source.

I'd happily update this review to 5 stars, as I like the staff and the gym feels relatively spacious, but as it stands, the experience of frequenting flacks during the colder months doesnt warrant it. It's a shame more care and consideration isn't being given to members regarding this.

Nobody likes walking through a mouldy corridor to workout in a freezing cold gym, no matter how good the staff may be, or plentiful the equipment.

I'm sure it's a 5 star gym in spring/summer.

I have been training with Ash over the last 9 months and whilst I’ve only been a member here since July I can honestly say it the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. The equipment is really good quality and the whole gym is super clean. During the pandemic, the staff have been aware of government rules and have made it a very safe place to be with extra cleaning, social distancing and generally keeping everyone aware of new rules. Everyone is respectful, all the staff are really friendly and if you are considering joining a gym I’d definitely recommend FlacksFit!
