“A great atmosphere, Fransis and David are a great teachers. Always having fun. Thank you”

“I tried to call several time and sent email, but sadly no replies. I passed by today and rang the doorbell- no one answered the door ): is this place even open??”

“I have weekly private 1-1 lessons with Nikita and I recommend him unreservedly as a fantastic, talented ballroom dance teacher. What a joy to have lessons with such a fabulous dancer and professional, patient, dedicated and energetic teacher. My dancing has improved greatly. Be prepared to work hard and enjoy! And he’s a nice guy too!”

“I love dogwalks....does what it says on the tin. I can’t recommend them enough. Trustworthy, efficient, caring and flexible. They adore Chewy who comes home exhausted and happy everyday. Emily always has great advice and is such a passionate animal lover that I know Chewy is in the best care.”

“The sales team are amazing- Jack, Jenna and Jay! The centre as a whole is amazing too especially the lifeguard Riley (always helping and supporting customers) just an amazing centre to go to! Also Rhys from Sales!!”

“Given a 5 because I love it, the staff are really lovely and helpful. *BUT* Guys the drinks machine has been out of action for over a week. PLEASE can you fix it. Also would love a coffee machine or the cafe to be open all day. After my early morning workout I'd love to grab a drink/breakfast/roll something.”

“Agnes is a brilliant swim teacher and we can highly recommend her services. She has a vast technical knowledge and makes the lessons fun and engaging. The 121 lessons are well worth it and she uses good technology which enables you to see yourself in action. I wish I'd known about her years ago!”

“Nice service. Great possibilities... 2 gyms, large and smaller. Available swimming pool, wet and dry sauna, jacuzzi. Classes available for membership... membership alone is cheap for this offer now around £34 a month. the only problem is the decor ... And sometimes the issue of cleanliness but I report it to the manager and they work. overall highly recommend”

“My children have swimming lessons with Aqua Style....and.....love it. The instructors are very professional... the lessons are fun....when you reach a certain level the lessons increase to 1hour..... Pool and changing area are clean and well kept.”

“Big fan of our local pools and gym.. both my kids learned to swim here and we are happy to continue supporting by way of membership. So far so good with the new management Better Health.”

“Nice swimming pool I'm registered in and got my membership card and inside the area it's very beautiful I liked and very nice personal”

“I love this gym! The facilities are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Mustafa, the receptionist, is outstanding – he goes above and beyond to help all members feel welcome and supported. And if you need a post-workout pick-me-up, the cafe inside the gym serves some of the best coffee and healthy snacks around. Highly recommend this gym – and Mustafa and the cafe – for an exceptional fitness experience!”

“Very friendly gym. Nice and cheerful staff. Used the Gym for a long time, loved the Body Pump classes and the main gym area. Few machines can be replaced but again you are not paying through the roof to get into a 5 star facility. It is a good gym and a nice bunch of people. Good timings and decently maintained. Recommended.”

“My first time back in the gym for a good few years. The receptionist was amazing and very helpful with my bombardment of questions. Even though I only used the pool for my first visit, I will deffo go back there for the sake of the pool, but have yet to try there gym area. Cant wait for my next visit.”

“Superb, extremely professional and fun My 6 year old attends the junior karate (past 2 and a half years) and gymnastics and loves every minute”

“Really enjoy the Saturday sessions here! Learning alot and the trainer is great! Will keep coming back.”

“My daughter Alexis (wednesday class at shirley) has been attending since she was 3 years old. She absolutely loves coming to J'amies, always learns and has fun. All the coaches are friendly, easy to talk to. The whole club is FANTASTIC XXX”

“Great for my mental health. We all know how important exercise is and how it helps us feel better, but you have to put the time and effort in. The App and the classes have been great for me as I have really liked the classes. I am really feeling the benefit, especially as the weather is now bad. Plus physically I am also feeling much better. The After Dark rides with Duncan are my favourite to get me out of some pretty low moods. Can't recommend it enough if you want to look after yourself and feel a whole lot better.”

“Great pool for kids. Good facilities and plenty of space for changing. Deborah and Louisa at reception went out of their way to help me as I was stuck with two kids and a dead phone.”

“Amazing gym, near home and friendly people. I've been welcomed from the first day by all the members of staff, including Nauris, my PT which I already had a few sessions with and I already can say that is one of the best PT I ever had.”

“No rush professional service and smiling staff with a big selection of different colours and styles”

“I've been a member of the Gym Clinic for around a year and a half and in that time the gym has gone from strength to strength. It is a professionally operated, private gym that caters for both novices and advance trainees. The gym itself has a number of cardio machines including treadmills, spinning bikes, cross trainers, rowing machine and step machine - along with this it has a full range of resistance machines to work every major muscle group. The machines themselves are placed in an organised location and are very accessible to new trainees who may find some free weight exercises quite daunting. The gym also has a boxing ring where classes/ 1-2-1 sessions are held for a variety of trainee levels and ages - a great edition to any gym and gives the members something you won’t find in most privately run places. The free weights area boast 3 benches, an adjustable bench press going from 180 to 90 degrees, dual cable machines with a variety of attachments, a squat rack with optional safety mechanisms and a 3D 'Jones Machine' which offers the safety of a 'Smith Machine' but with lateral movement as well as vertical. Along with these machines there are free weights ranging from 1kg up to 50kg, weight plates from 1.25kg to 25kg and assorted barbells. Lastly there is a small area outside that has a number of punching bags as well as some tyres and sledge hammers so that trainees can try some more unique approaches to cardio/strength training. The kit itself is in fantastic condition, with the cardio and resistance machines being brand new and top of the range - while also being divided into approachable locations so that new members and trainees should not feel any intimidation with using any of the equipment; especially since they all have instructions on how best to use the machines. The members are incredibly friendly, and the gym has a family vibe to it - where people of all levels mix and help create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and pleasant to exercise in. This aspect is certainly something that gives the gym clinic an edge to commercial gyms where most members are anonymous to each other; never really exchanging pleasantries or training experiences - certainly not the case here. Though despite the professional kit the gym carries, it is certainly not a 'male' gym - the membership is split quite evenly between men and women which again helps create an inviting atmosphere. The gym comes with locker facilities as well as 3 small showers that are cleaned regularly. My only criticism would be some of the lockers are faulty and so it can be difficult to find a spare locker from time to time; but this is hardly much of an issue. Overall the gym is a fantastic place to exercise - offering professional trainers, modern kit, a friendly atmosphere and at a modest fee without tying you into a long contract.”

“Absolutely wonderful staff and the best service imaginable. Store manager helped enormously when I had an item stolen (a birthday present). So rare to get this high level of customer service.”

“Archive lifestyle, Egham orbit they have gym, spa, swimming, and yoga, and it’s all subscription based and they do have carpark on site. Subscription prices yes they are a bit expensive but worth it! Friendly staff there to assist and do book an appointment to check out their venue and see what they got to offer!”

“Lovely swim. Pool is a great temperature for swimming. Showers are a little hot but that's probably just me.”
