Nuffield Health Northampton Fitness & Wellbeing Gym Walter Tull Way, Northampton NN5 5QL

"Excellent swimming pool and sauna facilities. Please improve your changing room locking facilities."

"I often come here as a guest when up in Northants visiting my relatives for a few days at a time throughout the year. For me it's gym is very good that stil uses the so called slightly "dated" (by some) Life Fitness equipment, of which is far better suited to me than the latest hi-tech equipment re the "Technogym" brand that is used in most Nuffields nowadays....and is still far superior than it's modern day 'Technogym' replacement IMO. However like with a fair few small 20m swimming pool-only Nuffield set ups up and down the country Iuse, then it tends to be open to swimming lessons and such like a plenty - which is all well and good if it's a more spacious 25m pool but not one of the smallest possible variety to host all and sundry on top of public swimming! Sadly this therefore gives it a 2/5 rating instead of 4/5 for me. Had the pool situation been like my main Nuffield (Barbican Approach) gym in Plymouth (one that doesn't allow children in it's pool for anything, due to it's limited 20m length/size - and which only has swimming lessons on at mostly 'off peak' times for an hour or so on average throughout the week days), then it would've been 4/5."

"Just joined, fanatic gym, sauna, steam room, pool, jacuzzi. Ollie one of the trainer that did our induction was great , polite , welcoming, great knowledge and very very helpful. It's definitely worth joining very reasonable too , they do classes programs etc... we'll worth checking out"

"Small gym, facilities and equipment often broken and take long time to repair sauna etc. Just looks run down and tired not worth the £55 a month fee especially with so many better equipped gyms near by charging £15 for the month. Half the lockers do not work so spend 15 minutes getting one to work. Also when you leave they send you debt letters and make you pay an extra fee to leave. Pretty poor all round really avoid."

"I joined up to this gym not long ago as it's close to where I live and I'm fixed in for a year. I really wish I hadn't. I thought I'd be ok with the Nuffield brand, but it's quite disappointing. Both the gym and the pool are quite small, and whilst the staff are civil, they don't go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The whole place is very outdated which makes it feel a little grimy. Also, the gym is supposed to be open until 10pm but half an hour before closing they come round and start switching all the treadmills and equipment off, and it feels like you can't ask them to leave certain things on so that you can finish your workout. Just say the gym closes at 930, otherwise it feels like false advertising. I'm locked in for a year now, but once that's up I'll be going elsewhere, most likely back to my old gym, which is further away but much more user friendly. Very expensive for what it is."
