Epping Sports Centre

"Lovely gym with a real sense of community. My favourite part of going to the gym is definitely my personal trainer Sarah Fitzwater - she has been a massive help to me with my fitness journey and has raised my confidence levels astronomically. If you are new to Epping gym, have gym anxiety or just want to smash your personal bests I would definitely try out some personal training sessions with Sarah!"

"The gym is convenient if you live in Epping and don't want to drive, adequate for local but basic and not enough equipment. Pete is a great PT who makes the place, good staff let down by management. Closed for nearly two weeks over Xmas this year (still charged the entire month, their attitude was drive to another centre, which defeats the point of paying to go to a gym you don't have to drive to). Have cut many of the Virtual Studio Cycling Classes, which was a great benefit & USP and were on all throughout the day every day, now virtually no classes in the afternoons, just an empty studio full of bikes which you can't use apparently, even though you use them on your own if you're the only one doing a class, makes no sense! Junior session daily best avoided in the gym, groups of kids hogging equipment, benches and weights for long periods of time with no gym etiquette or consideration for other members. Frustrating, not like any other commercial gym I've been a member of, don't feel valued as a member. Too many compromises for the benefit of the location, especially when there are better and cheaper options if you are prepared to drive!! Hope the new leisure centre will be better."

"The sports centre is hardly open, closes from 23rd Dec for 11 days and early closing at weekends. Never known anywhere like it! Not a great way to get more people to join really."

"Little gym equipment , many kids hogging machines don’t pay if parents member….. BUT close to home , next nearest Harlow… maybe change gym only option , places Loughton good though"

"The gym is great, it has the equipment you need, just has a finite amount of it. During busy hours it's difficult to get on certain equipment, but if you time your sessions properly the selection is good and the staff are always welcoming. The staff are nice and welcoming... some of the other reviews I've seen seem a bit dramatic..."
