Village Gym Manchester Bury Rochdale Road, Bury BL9 7BQ

"I have been a member of this gym for at least 5 years. I used to attend Aqua and Pilates classes and use the gym. I have also trained with PT Connor twice a week who has been excellent in helping me with my various issue due to osteoarthritis. In fact I would have left this gym years ago if it hadn’t been for Connor who makes my training fun and helps me achieve my potential even though I am nearly 70. My fitness has really improved and so has my overall strength. Connor makes it fun which means I look forwards to my PT sessions. I used to enjoy swimming but I find the saunas and jacuzzis are always full and usually with men. Unfortunately I have given up trying to book classes as I refuse to upgrade my membership as this gym is very overpriced and the cleaning leaves a lot to be desired. However I do acknowledge the new gym equipment has made a big difference but there needs to always be a trainer in attendance to help with using the new equipment or to deal with accidents and also a more efficient cleaning team. I would give this gym 3 stars but because of the new equipment I’ve given it 4. However I would give Connor 5 stars."

"Great place. The new pool is fabulous. The staff are really friendly."

"This gym attempts to market itself as a premium gym but fails on many levels. Changing rooms, gym and showers are disgusting. The staff are rude and completely vacant."

"Overpriced and not worth the money. On 3 occasions the jacuzzi has been out of order. Dirty male changing rooms. Used towel bin overflowing. Smelly toilets. Mould around showers. Shower gel dispensers broken or not filled up. You hsve to pay for towel usage."

"Joined many years ago on a yearly membership which was competitively priced, however they "refurbished" the gym and that involved splitting the weights area across 2 rooms which is counter productive as you could give up your bench wanting to use the Smith rack, but as it's in a different room you don't know if it's a available until it's too late. After covid the members changed, and I found the gym regularly in untidy ways with weights/mats left in the middle of the floor. Frequently found treadmills covered in sweat drops and not cleaned by previous user. And when it came to renewal the annual price I previously had was not honoured and jumped a massive £120. I left and signed up with Total Fitness. Cheaper and generally cleaner with better jacuzzi and pool facilities."
