Lots of space and equipment. Upstairs has a large area for any exercise. Limited cardio but who cares about that

Super friendly staff who are always helpful if asked for advice. Really good value for money I'd say and a good atmosphere as people who go there are mainly interested in what they're doing so you don't feel stared at or intimidated.

Rhodri is not only approachable and friendly, but is also an experienced and versatile trainer. I've both worked and trained with him and his years of experience competing in various sports certainly shine through in his knowledge and service. �

Ive been training with them for just over a year, as have my team of skaters. Ive used many personal trainers in my time but Rhodri is by far the best. Ive never done the same PT session with him, every session is different and tailored to individual needs. Ive had many injuries/operations and have been able to remain training through out my recovery. My team of skaters have come on heaps whilst working with him also, very approachable and always happy to answer out 1000's of questions. More...

I've never been a regular gym goer before, but I think that might be because I was put off by the clinical, one- size- fits all gym chains. Dave's Gym is a complete contrast to this impersonal environment. The people who work at the gym always take time to help you out if you're struggling with your training, there's a really friendly feeling here. Dave and Zoe have opened my eyes to the benefits of combining weight training with cardio work for the best effects. Their opening hours are wide, allowing flexibility around all the other things that you have to do in a day. I'd really recommend giving Dave's Gym a try. More...

This is a manly ass gym, son. Great music (not just techno trash). Not busy even at peak times, and really good equipment and bar variety. Best gym I've ever gone to. Not great for cardio but no one cares about cardio. More...

Fantastic down to earth gym! No posers!!!! :DI personally don't think it should matter whether there are 1 or 100 girls in the gym when you go, but I know this bothers a lot of women so I thought I would let you know that there are many women who train here - and I mean actually train! All staff members are VERY helpful and if you need some help/advice - they are more than happy to assist you. HIGHLY recommended! More...

The staff is friendly and helpful.It's a small gym, basic equipment, nothing too fancy, yet you can get a great workout with what's available. What I really love about it though is that it's real.
