★★★★★Featured review by Tameka Lowery

Great gym, spacious and clean with friendly staff. Ladies only area is fantastic, plenty of machines and huge fans keeping the room cool even on a 25 degree day. Sauna, steam room, sanarium and hydro pool were all very clean and not too busy (I went at 1-3pm) everything working well/hot enough inside the rooms. I usually use Whitefield but I was in the area and was really happy I chose to go here in the end. Will definitely be back again soon.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking structured swimming lessons and a broad fitness class programme in one venue. The family pool runs warmer, making it comfortable for young children. The gym equipment is functional across the range.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Family pool runs warmer than the main laned pool — better suited for young children
Bring pool shoes or flip-flops for the pool surround area
🎟️Junior Fit programme runs for ages 11-14 — ask reception for the current timetable
🚗Ladies-only gym area has large cooling fans — worth knowing in summer

(Walkden branch) Prices keep increasing but nothing new is ever added to the gym equipment is quite old and dated but it serves its purpose to be fair and they do have a variety of machines for cardio and weights. Reason for the 3 stars is the punch bags are probably one of the cheapest pieces of equipment in the gym to replace and the current ones aren’t fit for purpose they have 4 in the Walkden gym and about 2 of them are ok at best, one of them is that used and worn the stuffing at the top of the bag is non existent no idea why it’s still hanging tbh, the brand they seem to use for the boxing equipment do actually do some very good quality punch bags but total fitness seem to have gone for the cheapest options and the boxing area is always used and frequently busy so not replacing the punch bags when they need to and using the cheapest ones isn’t the greatest idea they also removed the boxing ring so the only thing I can say really is the price goes up but the gym equipment doesn’t improve or get updated, could be a great gym if they got new quality punch bags in as the cardio and weights area while is old it does serve its purpose and it has variety of Machines to target every muscle group.

The atmosphere is nice, but the equipment is very old and needs to be renewed. There isn’t even a deltoid fly machine. It’s one of the most important machines that should be added, and all the equipment rusty.
