Tops Health Club

This is great: a gym for people who hate normal gyms. Tops is small and friendly with chatty, helpful staff. It offers a range of different services including physio, massage and spray tans, and gym itself, which is located upstairs. As it is small, it doesn’t have quite the same range of equipment as the big chains - there are 2 cross trainers, 2 rowing machines, 4 bikes, 4 running machines as well as an assortment of other machines I don’t know the name of! In short, they have everything you need and I’ve never had to wait to use anything. Everything’s always clean, including the 2 changing rooms which are small but have everything you need - including showers and a sauna! One of the best things is that they have ladies’ days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and mens’ days (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) with Sunday as a mixed day. I found this (and the small size) made the gym less intimidating, whilst still leaving you with plenty of workout options. The staff and very happy to design you a workout free of charge, and you can also book personal trainer sessions or join a range of different excercise classes. It’s also great value for money - £5 a session or £25 a month when I was a member during the summer.
