I joined the gym two years ago and recently asked Sophie to be my PT in Jan 2026. I chose Sophie because she felt like a safe and understanding person who was super approachable and I could totally be myself around her. For anyone who is worried about going g to the gym, either because you don't know what you are doing or where to start, or perhaps have no one to go with, I would strongly recommend getting Sophie to be your guide. In 3 short months, I have gone from lifting very minimal weights to now easily lifting 110kg on hip thrusts and 160kg on belt squats. I have dropped 2 dress sizes and our chats have almost been like therapy! I feel so strong and happy. I could only have done this with Sophies encouragement. She is the ultimate hype girl. I was stuck in a very sad place in regards to my mental health and Sophies plan (diet and workout routines all included) have given me myself back. Sophie has shown me the importance of self care in the form of fitness and educated me on diet and the benefits of protein. She even tells me off for not resting enough! I can't believe how much I enjoy the gym now. It's hard work but work worth doing. I now go alone 5 times a week and have made so many positive friendships. Workout Harbourside has become my home from home and the culture here has really given me something to look forward to outside of work and family life. I am the most confident I have ever been and it's because I bit the bullet, invested in myself and let Sophie take the reigns. She made everything feel so easy and less intimidating. Thank you Sophie for the weekly chats and sweat sessions. You are the best
This is the best gym! There are many different classes available every day of the week and the teachers are all lovely, i'd definitely recommend it!
I use this gym on pay as you go basis when I am in Bristol. It’s cheap (£7.50), clean, and really well looked after. They have every piece of equipment and all the weights that I would ever need. The absolute highlight is the sauna in the changing room! I haven’t done any of the classes but they look good and the music is always banging.
I’ve been training for over 12 years across many gyms, and this one truly stands out. The atmosphere is welcoming — both the staff and the majority of members are consistently polite and considerate, which creates one of the best training cultures I’ve experienced. As a physiotherapist, I pay close attention to equipment quality and suitability for proper weight training. The gym offers advanced kit you simply don’t find in typical commercial chains, allowing for safe and effective training. The setting is another highlight. The view over the river adds a calm, uplifting feel, especially during early morning or late evening sessions. Overall, an excellent facility with great people, great equipment, and a genuinely positive training environment. I look forward to every session here.
