Total Fitness Walkden - Manchester

Wayne G.

I enjoyed a good workout in the gym today plenty of room loads of machines & free weights. Then onto the rowing machine, bike & treadmill. The only downside was walking into the men's shower room after my workout already hot & sweaty it was like walking into a sauna the heating was on full blast way too hot. I quickly left without my shower & had one at home in a much cooler environment.

I've completed one year contract at this walkden branch but I wasn't happy with the £50 I paid every months for 12 months, you should be happy paying that huge amount of money,
They are the most expensive gym I've been to in England and also not 24 hours, puregym and The gym group are cheaper and they run 24 hours. I think people need to talk about 24 hours opening

Walkden doesn't have new equipments, they're all old fashioned, rusty and always out of order, WE NEED FLY MACHINES PLEASE as we can't be paying so much money and not enjoy our workout.

I've been a member here for 1 year, and I joined it for classes. Classes that were cancelled later or boxing classes without using special equipment. Per general, the gym itself is alright, but still, there is always something damaged there. One of the saunas is permanently closed or out of order or not properly cleaned. I'd rate this gym 3 🌟, but because of the management that I'm trying to reach for a week already, to freeze my membership as half of the gym is under refurbishment for more that 2 months, I'll give it 1 🌟

I would like to rate it 5 star but cannot give that review right now until it will be improved!
When you see pictures of this gym it's look good , gym joining price is not that expensive but not cheap.
Management please sort out air conditioning, there is issues all the time , there is fans instead.But it's not enough for people who exercising! Ladies gym : no water, and no air conditioning !
Cleanliness of the gym is not that bad.But not outstanding.
##Showers ##, you can feel smell,also walls not clean enough. I know you have enough staff in the facilities , please sort it out! Thank you for understanding!

I used to go to a different club at total fitness. Which i loved . However i recently moved nearby walkden. As i already had a membership for total fitness i obviously came to this gym. It’s completely different to the previous one i went to. Nobody EVER puts the weights they have used back . The gym is a mess . Weights never tidied, missing weights, unclean areas, Pool and sauna never open . And the weights are also very old . I wouldn’t reccomend coming here and will be cancelling my membership. There is clearly enough staff there so why aren’t they doing anything about the untidiness!
This gym needs a refurb

Total Fitness used to be a great gym for me and my family, but all things have been to terribly bad in the last year.

QUICK (bad) POINTS:

- Rusty and ongoing defective equipments 😤
- ZERO Hygiene in the whole structure. My son forgot his bottle of water upstairs and found it three days later in the exactly same place. 🙈
- Stinky and dirty showers🤢

The only good point goes to the staff who, given the poor conditions of their employer, are always willing to provide good customer service.

I will not renew my contract next month, after four years with this gym.

I’ve been a member for years and to be honest it’s not worth it anymore. It’s hard to get through a workout when the gym is constantly overcrowded, groups of teenagers congregating at equipment with phones out meaning you constantly have to adapt.

And the persistent closure of the pools, saunas etc - we pay for the use of the gym so how about when you close equipment for more than a week (apparently the pool is to be closed for 2 MONTHS) you reduce our membership fees? The gym is clearly not able to provide the service we pay for.

Cleanliness is another major issue. The woman’s changing rooms are always gross! The showers never seem clean.

It’s just a shame this is the closest gym, it would not be my first choice nor recommendation - until the above issues are taken care of. Which is doubtful it seems Total Fitness as a company has a we don’t care mentality through and through.

Honest review of the gym recently

The gym equipment is fine and gym is large and well spaced out

Classes are really good - we've not tried them all but spin and morning HIIT classes are V good.

The pool /sauna / solarium /spa are on a CONSTANT rotation of being closed.. If you're a swimmer like me.. Probably pointless joining this gym as you can never ever guarantee it will be open from one day to the next (you need to check the app constantly before you visit to make sure it's going to be open)

The showers are so so so gross, I don't think they are maintained and cleaned throughout the day, cubicles are covered in people's hair, always empty bottles all over the shower floors, products are all over the walls, if you touch the inside of the cubicle it actually feels slimy.

Also the swimsuit spinner has been working around 50% of the time I've been a member so that's also a hit and miss.

The staff are really nice and always very helpful and cheerful.

I don't think it's worth £43 a month or whatever it is we're paying, it's overly priced for the quality you receive. We're waiting for the 12 months to expire so we can look elsewhere.

Also.. The number of people who walk straight out of the sauna or steam room and jump into the pool before showering is unholy. It's absolutely horrifying.
