Well when I started at ff the first time around and quit after a year :p joined again and havent looked back :) the staff are helpful and I enjoy the classes and have made lots of friends...my favourite gym :)

User

This gym has been a home to me since signing up with Helen at the age of 16 and having my first PT session with Damian back when it was Fitness First to now. It has helped me overcome bouts of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem all thanks to the team that are or were there at the time.



I have now been one of the qualified personal trainers there for 4 years and speaking from a service user and self-employed PTs point of view, have seen the gym through rough and smooth. Like all places it has its highs and its lows from company takeovers and from staff and members alike and with each change, dispute or shift that wave must be ridden and the individuals not pleased to seek places that would better suit their needs.



But what I can say is that, to me, it has always had that consistent 'family' atmosphere for the 10 years I have been there from staff/PTs and members which have become close friends and people I am able to converse and train with daily, I have met some truly remarkable people. It has made working and training there a pleasure and I really do love what I do. Unlike some facilities where no staff are present at all.



Some parts of the gym may/do need a bit of TLC, however in terms of facilities that are available I think there is far more than other 'alike' gyms in the area. All aspects of every gym you go into will need some form of constant maintenance, thats just the way gyms are with the heavy use of equipment. Typical 'spit and sawdust' gyms have old, heavily abused and outdated equipment but it doesn't stop the members from training there.



Yes I understand some staff/PTs left or were dismissed for reasons beyond my concern, however those issues are taken up with the staff/PT and management of the gym personally and should not be taken upon by others who 'enjoy' jumping in as keyboard warriors on a free for all of abuse or anger.



To down right disregard and offend the staff and personal training team as a whole due to the actions of individuals or the policies that are upheld by the facility is naive and in my opinion regarded as near insanity! Any form of slander from any individual or group will be taken seriously.



There are a good number of staff and PTs that go out of their way, especially in the background to give that humbled yet enthusiastic approach. Ensuring members who want to be brought into the gyms 'family' are welcome!



As stated before, this gym has been a home to me for almost 10 years and the staff, PTs and consistent members who are apart of the 'family' which has helped me overcome some serious issues in my life. No matter what company, facility or equipment come next, none of that should matter.

What does count is the long-standing community of people (me included) on the ground who are there to help change and develop lives and to make this a healthier, fitter and mentally stronger area to live.



Have a good day :)

User

Only just joined after not going to a gym in 3 years but gym is great opening times are very good so can go before work and staff are very pleasant and helpful

User

Love coming to this gym, atmosphere is great, never judged and the staff are always happy to help. Classes are great and well run. The class times fit perfectly around work hours. Would definitely recommend Better Gym ��

User

I used to use better gym when it was fitness first and then when better gym took over, had a fantastic time, had PT with Damian and it was always different each time which always kept it fresh and fun to do (playing cards session always hurt). The Tabata and boot camp lessons which was done by Jon was brilliant not only using the area in the gym but the surrounding areas as well. It is a cheap gym gym but it has everything that everyone needs, I really need to get back and rejoin

User

I think this gym is fab ��. The trainers and staff are both knowledgeable and friendly, everyone is welcome it’s a great environment to work out in! I have been a member for over 10 years and still think it’s a fab gym and great value for money �! Love the combat classes with Ali she is a great instructor! X

User

I personally think this gym is great. Everyone is friendly. Ive done both classes and used the equipment and you dont feel self conscious at all.

User

I love this gym. I mainly do classes as I need to be pushed. �. There are plenty of classes to choose from. I love the variety. In the gym you have lots of equipment to choose from. I tend to stick to same equipment, as i said I prefer classes.

The instructors are all friendly and very helpful, very knowledgable and always willing to answer any questions i may have.

I would definately recommend it to anyone thinking of joining.

User

I love this gym, been a member for around 5 years now from Fitness First days! Staff are always friendly and polite. Classes are brilliant, I do Combat & Pump & the instructor is extremely brilliant at what she does and very knowledgable. Glad I chose this gym �

User

I have used this gym now for over a year and honestly I would not go anywhere else!

The staff are welcoming, helpful and chatty to everybody who walks through those doors...

Having had Ali as a personal trainer for some time now, I can honestly say this lady knows her stuff, friendly and hardworking..

I have some people on my Facebook who are clients of Ali’s and I’m 100% sure everybody would agree she is a credit to Better Gym.



The only thing I would like to know is where has the punch bag gone?

User

Great gym and the staff work so hard . Amazing classes . The staff can not do enough for you . Members are lovely Really nice gym .

User

Fab gym top quality equipment and really friendly staff will be coming back when in Cannock next 👍🏻👍🏻

User

Better Gym is the 5th gym I’ve been too and it’s defiantly the best by far! The equipment is on point, the cleanliness is fantastic, the staff are so friendly and approachable, the changing rooms are amazing and the price is great at what you get included! Oh and the steam room and sauna are to die for! My friend purchased a day pass and came with me and she loved it and will be joining full time! Cannot fault the place one bit!

User

As with all business take overs there is change. The current staff are friendly and very helpful while the transition takes place. New systems and procedures incur casualties, most of which have been self inflicted.

I will continue to use the gym. It’s not the closest but certainly one of the best in the area within its pricing structure.

User

I have recently recently returned to the gym after 5 months out due to major surgery and I am really pleased to be back.



I joined May 2016 with a plan to lose weight and get fit. By June 2017 I had lost 3st 6lbs and felt healthier and fitter than I had done in years and lots of family and friends said how great I looked.



It was hard taking those first steps into the gym feeling self conscious and unsure of what to expect. But the staff were very friendly, helpful and professional and I felt comfortable and I enjoyed my sessions there. Even had sessions with a Personal Trainer it was hard work but great motivation.



So after 5 months out I have returned, yes there have been some changes and things are still being revamped and changed but as far as I can see all for the good of the clients and staff who are still professional, helpful and friendly. Which for me is the most important thing to be able to go there knowing I will get the help and advice I need and that I won’t be judged or made to feel uncomfortable.



So thank you Better Gym for continuing to be a great place to go and thank you to the staff for helping me get back on track with my fitness goals

User

Wouldn't really recommend only go because of the social aspect...staff are great..equipment is outdated...as are the changing rooms...Better gym owners think a lick of paint will cover over the issues how wrong are they and to top it off they are forcing popular PT instructors out the door...Puregym is cheaper equipment is better...but I like the people and staff...its the only reason I go

User

They got the HMP entry system is very wrong and is very annoying amongst other things.....much better ways to have approached the security...Who ever is decision making at HO needs to be questioned before you achieve a brand for been a 1970's municipal regime and not a members club.



Focus on the members thoughts and feelings as the attitude of members is changing in my opinion, I am a loyal member of 15 years, so don't shoot the messenger but there are plenty of options out there.

User

Got to say I have been coming here for over 6 years and it was defiantly better when it WASN'T "better gym" since it was taken over from fitness first it has completely gone down hill and to find now they have got rid of two of the best instructors for not good of a reason is disgusting! Not as a customer to even be asked feedback about anything, at the end of the day were the ones that keep the place open arn't we? But seems our opinions doesn't matter. If the gym wasn't just 2 minutes away from where I live id 100% be giving up my membership.

User

If I could select less than 1 I would! I’ve been a member for over 13 years. I used to regularly attend pump and combat but the worsened state and continued damage to the studio floor is ridiculous. Merely putting a wet floor sign over the hole in the floor is not acceptable.

Equipment is regularly out of service awaiting a “Better approved technician”, or weights are left all over the floor, equipment is covered in sweat and spit, changing rooms smell vile and showers are regularly unclean.

To top it off, my favourite instructors have been unceremoniously told they cannot return with immediate effect. I used to love Combat and pump with Leanne and Claire, and Ian back in the day. I will be cancelling my membership if these instructors are no longer teaching.
