Really good gym, loads of quality equipment personally big fan of panatta so really enjoyed training here, cybex equipment as well, good lighting and really modern

Good gym with great equipment, but with inadequate IT infrastructure. The app is next to useless lacking features from competitors such as being able to view how many people are in the gym. The points feature is completely useless and screams it is a half baked rushed implantation.

Don’t get me started on the glaring security issues they have storing user passwords in plain text.

The app overall seems very cheap and amateur which is unfortunate as it doesn’t reflect the quality of the gym overall but ultimately has a negative impact of customer experience.

As well as enacting a nonsensical 12 hour lock on the code after signing into a gym, although you can ask a member of staff to allow you re-entry this means if you workout at 4pm and want to come back past 8 again you would be unable to….I understand this is to prevent abuse however a similar 2 hour limit for example would serve this purpose and be much less annoying.

Good gym, well equipped. Can be very busy but that’s to be expected and it’s big you don’t notice as much.

I’d definitely recommend getting an introduction if you’re a newbie as their machines are quite complex but good once you learn how to use everything.

One thing that lets it down massively in my opinion the awful flawed member app, I felt like working out twice today and I can only come back 12 hours after ? 🙁
Now I can’t go back to do a workout…

I understand this system is in place to deter people passing it to friends or something but 12 hours? Ridiculous 🙁

Really nice gym, plenty of equipment and the music is quite good so it's not the end of the world when you forget your headphones.

Awesome gym! The Bishop Auckland gym is my main gym, but I have trained at all the OneGym sites when at work on my lunch breaks, they are all clean, well equipped with awesome staff and facilities. I would definitely recommend OneGym to anyone of any ability no matter where they are on their fitness journey.

Excellent refurbishment + extensions to the gym. On Monday, I walked into a brand new gym with an extended area that focuses on leg workouts, new machinery upstairs for HIT cardiovascular + caveman training equipment (upstairs redone and brilliant studio area). On my first day in the newly renovated and extended gym, I felt lost.... Because I didn't know if I was in the same gym as I was in the week before, it's the best upgrade I've seen to a gym and it's puts it pretty much the top gym in Durham. New boxercise equipment in the studio, bikes for spinning. If you went before the renovation and extensions a week ago, you definitely need to sign up this week. I'm on my third session in the gym that was done up over the weekend and it's definitely worth the money now ! (: It looks twice as big!

I love visiting OneGym in Bishop Auckland. I only really use the treadmill because i love to run, but a recurring hanstring problem means the treadmill is more forgiving than running on a hard, outdoor surface.

The staff are super-friendly and the place is always spotless. I use the showers everytime, and they are also always clean and tidy. There is always a relaxed atmosphere in the gym too, with good music and, mostly, polite and curteous fellow gym-users. Even though my use of the extended gym equipment is very limited, I've only heard positive feedback from other people.

This is my happy-place. Keep it up guys!

Fantastic gym. The staff are some of the friendliest I’ve ever seen, and are often available to help.
The music in the gym is fine, but can be a little repetitive, and sometimes consist of ‘pound shop’ style remixes. The ‘let’s get down to business’ song is played a bit too often.

The busiest times are between 4:30-6pm in my experience, but still isn’t much of a problem. It’s often quiet enough to hear yourself, and equipment is always available outside of these times I find.

This place is incredibly clean and looked after. I love the aircon in the summer, and it’s looks great inside.
The demographic seems fine, with only one cringeworthy gym poser every so often.
The toilets and changing rooms are literally spotless and smell great - I have never been to a gym so clean!

The only downsides I can think of are the under-sensitivity of the hand blow dryer. - It’s pathetically tedious to use… and there is no recycling bin despite how many plastic bottles are used.

Fantastic Friendly Staff!!
