When I first walked through the doors, I thought wow, this is a very simple gym compared to other gyms I've been to in the past. I did walk around and think to myself, "I don't think I'm going to like it here" but how I was wrong. The people are what makes this gym work so well, the staff are terrific and are always genuinely happy to see you walk through the doors. They are up for a chat and catch up like long lost friends and make you feel welcome from the very moment of arriving. There is no segregation between Men & Women, everyone works out in the same weights room, the same cardio room and they have a small workout room. I thought this would bother me, as I have put on a couple of kg's and didn't want people staring, but not here.. Everyone is so polite, just minding their own business, doing their own workouts, but if you need a had moving something looking for particular weights ect there is always someone on hand to help. I was totally blown away by this whole experience. I've been to many gyms in the past few years and I haven't see the variety of equipment as I have seen here, I haven't felt as welcomed and not just a number as I do here, it is really good to see it is a real gym for real people. All of the trainers have a story of their own to tell and for a few of the it was their own weight loss journey, and working out at ME that has inspired them to become the trainers now working at ME. I am not a fan of any gym really, but I am really glad a friend of mine who spoke so highly of the people and lovely atmosphere take me in for a walk through and a 7 day trail, I am now hooked. There is a variety of classes but not the usual "Les Mills" choreographed classes. The classes here are fun, crazy, full of hard work and different each and every time I step in. ME has won me over, if you are looking for a gym that carters for real everyday people that want to get the most out of themselves without having to watch over your shoulder to see who s watching, then this is the place to go. Don't get me wrong, there is some uber fit people training here, but they're there to workout too, not to walk around looking good. ME is the most comfortable gym I have ever been in, (& I've been to quite a few in my time) read more
