Nuffield Health West Byfleet Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - Woking

This place can’t be taking too many new members. Went for a one off free pass. Changing rooms. Not clean. Old scuffed walls and doors. Mould and blown plaster and MdF trims. Shower area pretty manky with years of limescale and old fittings.
Defo wouldn’t spend £70-90 a month on this place.

Upon arriving at the gym you need may find a lack of parking off putting but I was pleasantly surprised to see they off parent and child parking showing that the facility is family friendly.

The quality of the reception is much better than my home club Leatherhead and the receptionists are friendly and welcoming.

The gym itself has some of the best equipment I've seen in a Nuffield. It's Technogym touch screen running machines allow you to run in various simulated environments which was impressive. The layout of the space takes a little getting used to and that mainly due to it being formly squash courts. So one part is cardio another the restistance machines and the corridor is a stretching area. It's nice that the spin studio doesn't encroach on the gym itself being upstairs and so you can get into your own zone with disruption.

The pool is alright, I have to admit on multiple occasions I've seen fluff floating which is a bit off putting and so I think the filters could be improved. The jacuzzi is acceptable, it's not got an power to it unlike Guildford's Spa facility but at least it has one unlike Leatherhead. The Steam room is brutally hot just as you want. The Saunas are in the changing rooms and the male one is about the footprint of a queen sized bed. When you get in you may be disappointed due to the draft lower down but it packs the driest heat of any of the local Nuffields which is exactly what you want from a sauna. That's mainly because it doesn't have the moisture of the pool area.

The cafe is a proper cafe, offering food and coffees. i make the point because this isn't true of all of Nuffields. I haven't tried but that fact it offers it is good enough for me. Other than that the USP for this place is it's squash courts which I haven't tried but is worth mentioning.

All in all this place is great, if it had slightly better parking and a cleaner pool I'd give it 5 stars,

Wide range of classes which run during the day and evening. See below for what peak times are like...

The membership costs are quite high but you get plenty of services to justify the cost.

Between 6pm and 8pm during the week the gym can become very busy with limited parking. Especially if there are classes running at the same time.

Weekends you have children swimming lessons so best to avoid if you can. If you must come on a weekend come later in the day after 2pm if possible

I regularly train here and am extremely grateful for a hard-working staff. The club could have HUGE potential as it has the luxury of space. Some courageous managerial decisions need to be made, though.
1. The gym needs a serious refurbishment. The machines were old ten years ago! This seriously limits the clientele. Management is playing it safe and catering to a retired populous. This is self-fulfilling.
2. The Steam room is above average, functional, and an excellent addition. The sauna is woefully inconsistent and needs addressing.
3. The cafe area is a delight!
4. Fantastic parking for GSXR1000 riders!

Possibly one of the worst standard of gyms I've ever used. Memberships cost around £60 a month and the gym itself is tiny, not to mention about 10 years outdated. The floor area is literally a dingy corridor under some stairs. Utterly shocking. The shower facilities were disgusting with limescale, dirt and a funny smell of drains everywhere. I would have been disgusted if it were a budget gym, let alone the higher end gym it claims to be. Could not recommend less.

I love this club. I go to fitness and pilates classes, and swim there. My child also really enjoys the pool. It never feels too overcrowded. There's a very relaxed feel to the club. The classes offered are good overall. Staff very friendly too. Situated in a leafy, quiet area of West Byfleet.

The classes are great and now they have an online booking system it makes it easier to see what's available when, only recently joined back after a while away. Was a member when it was Canons gym, the layout has changed a little and the premises has undergone a refurbishment. The staff are friendly and welcoming and you are always greeted with a smile at reception. Great community gym, the members are also friendly. My boys have their swimming lessons here and it's a nice intimate pool.
