The best value gym i have ever found. I paid for my membership up front when i first got to…read moreBristol, spending the £300 was one of the best decisions i have ever made, although it may seem expensive you will be saving money, no matter how you look at it. The gym is big. It is spread across three rooms; the main room has all the cardiovascular machines and a few weights machines. The next largest room has a large area for stretching etc. Finally the smallest of the three is a free weights room. The machines are not looked after especially well however this does not matter much as there are so many of them. So many in fact that you can literally feel the floor pulse the the steps of the running machines.

Open to student and non-students alike, the annual price is very reasonable. Parking may be difficult for those who live further afield but I guess the walking will do you good as a warm-up! There is a separate weights room for the hunky men who spend hours pouting at themselves in the ceiling-size mirrors and a fitness suite full to the brim with cardio machines. A quieter, more welcoming weight room is round the corner for those not quite ready to join the Hercules wannabes. Trainers are on-hand to assist you and also make good eye-candy whilst you're sweating it out on the treadmill.

Ed has been my personal trainer for 2 years and during that time I have lost a considerable amount of weight, but most importantly I've gone down 2 dress sizes and my shape has changed considerably. It's taken until recently for me to manage my eating habits due to working shifts but thanks to Ed's persistence I am seeing the results now. Its not been easy and my muscles can vouch for that, but without the pain and the aching muscles you wont see any results. Absolute Health is a small and intimate gym which caters for the shy and reserved person. Its easy on my pocket because I can choose when to attend the gym for my personal training programme. Ed's is very flexible and understanding as well as task master who ensures you get the results on a one to one. I wont be going anywhere in a hurry Absolute Health is the gym for me!!!

What a huge place! Probably the biggest gym in Bristol at this moment, in terms of ground floor…read morearea. It has a studio, a cardio area, free weights section, sauna, aroma therapy, and the list, yes, is literally endless. A news is around the corner, that the Gyn is due of a total revamp with a new state of the art Life Style Machines. The free weight section is pretty much old school. The red seats will remind of those gyms in the earlier era, when the gyms just had irons, and just irons and benches. The monthly membership here is pretty much affordable. Only £25 deposit with a monthly fee of £35. Now, this £25 deposit entitles you with a free session with a Personal Trainer and if you shell £35 as deposit, you get two free sessions! The payment is through a direct debit and is deducted in the first of every month. Now, this £35 might seem to be a bit steep. But, wait! This includes all the classes as well as use of the sauna and the perfume and aroma therapies. You can also get free day passes, like three in a month, with which you can bring in your pals for a free training session. Well, that's not all. They give you a full refund wishing 14 days of joining, if you decide to discontinue. This sounds like a one if its pioneer services in terms of the gyms in Bristol. So, what's stopping you? Get into the training groove! And, get, into your desired shape!

Bannatynes is located in a very residential area in the Redland/Cotham area of Bristol. It makes an…read moreodd choice for such an exclusive club, however it does mean that they can spread out offer a much broader selections of facilities than the more central gyms. Bannatynes boasts a 20 metre swimming pool, state of the art gym, over 80 classes a week and 1:1 personal training. Do expect to pay much more for your membership than the likes of Fitness First, but you are paying for a more exclusive experience. If you are not fussed by luxury then it's probably not worth the extra money. Take note, if you don't have a GPS or Googlemaps, them you may find it hard to find as it really is tucked away amongst lots of houses.

The staff are really good- helpful and friendly, and the bar/cafe makes a nice place to relax after a workout or to meet with friends or clients for business purposes. Hot snacks and drinks, juices, wine, spirits and bottled beer are all on sale. The sauna is nice enough if a little small, the steam room and changing rooms are often grubby. Can't say I've been for any of the beauty treatments at 'The Sensory', but they seem to do a good trade which can't be a bad sign. The range of classes is good but you need to book well in advance for the most popular ones. There is also aqua aerobics on a regular basis and swimming training on Tuesday evenings that can do wonders for your front crawl. Kids are allowed in the pool on weekends only, for which I believe their parents pay a premium.
