Fitness Republic

I hadn’t been to a gym for a while so I was easing myself into it. Staff are friendly and are always willing to help! The seven day pass was a great idea for newbies!

Signed up full time and looking forward to my next visits.

Fitness republic is a fantastic gym experience, really friendly trainers who are always willing to help. I Always feel like I’ve had the best time when I’ve worked out there.

I joined FR at the start of this year. It can feel a bit intimidating joining a new gym but I can’t express enough how friendly and welcoming everyone has been from the moment I first walked in. Nothing is too much trouble. There is always someone around to help if you’re ever unsure about anything. I love the classes too. The booking app is so easy to use. The times and variety of classes are great. I always go to the 6.30am spin class on a Monday which sets me up for the rest of the week. The gym opening times are fantastic. I can get there for 5.30 in a morning, do my gym session and be home ready to start the day ahead. Alternatively, I often go in an evening. There’s such flexibility so it works well around my job and other family commitments and so there’s never a reason I can’t get there. I’m also having classes with a PT which are amazing. I’ve lost weight and toned up but also, I feel more importantly, it helps with my mental health just as much as my physical health. I absolutely love it!

Gym with all the equipment I need, super friendly staff and a nice spacious
outdoor area in the sun

Brilliant gym with very friendly and healthy staff - great place to train

I've recently renewed my membership for the 3rd year running now. Fitness Republic absolutely rates up there as the best Gym I've been a member in over 25 years of training. The staff certainly pay a huge part in this top rating review I'm giving, always on hand to offer help, advice and support with no questions asked or judgement made. On top of the excellent staff, the equipment is always kept tidy, clean and in great working order. It certainly has a friendly feel and family atmosphere at FR and they make sure they cater for everyone, be it for newcomers to a Gym environment or to more experienced trainers, everyone gets treated equally. They have some great classes on offer too that run everyday of the week at various times, something for everyone to get involved in. Keep up the great work guys and thanks for all your help and support so far.

As someone who has avoided the gym for many years due to generalized anxiety disorder I have finally found a gym I feel comfortable at. All the staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel at ease right from the very beginning and are always on hand to help you. To ensure I get the best results and get the most out of my gym experience I decided to work with a personal trainer once a week. Best decision I made, Connor my trainer is absolutely brilliant, he caters your fitness programme so it suits your needs and fitness goals. During sessions he demonstrates and explains everything clearly so you understand how to use all the machines, equipment and how to do the exercises correctly so you get maximum benefit. He is incredibly patient (especially with my uncoordinated self) supportive and pushes you in a positive way motivating you to do your very best. So yes highly recommend, the whole gym just has a real positive friendly vibe about it.

This gym is great. The family-like culture here is very welcoming and motivating. It's like a second home for my fitness journey. Highly recommend!

Best gym in Ashby, very friendly with great classes and coaches! Has made a positive impact to my fitness, health and well being!

I used to come on a regular basis, but for various reasons dropped off and just getting back on it again. I’ve been a member for years – I love it, feel happier in myself and cannot praise Fitness Republic and the team enough. They offer so much encouragement and support. Unlike any other gym in the area they give members the feeling of “belonging”.

This is a great gym, all of the equipment is well looked after and there's plenty to do, all of your training will be backed up by a solid sound track, if you don't want to have headphones in, and the instructors are always on hand to help you if you need it.

It's good to be going to the gym again 🙂

I have been using Fitness Republic on and off for a number of years. I have recently renewed my membership and just like the times before, I was made to feel very welcome. All the staff and other gym users are all very friendly. Fitness Republic has a family feel. Always staff on hand to help and support my journey. I never feel like i’m being watched or judged. Definitely the best gym i’ve used. I try and access the gym early morning due to work commitments and the 5.30 lam opening times are very helpful for me.

A really great friendly gym. All the staff are so lovely, supportive and helpful. Being unfit, overweight and in my fifties I was really nervous about walking through the doors. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I was given an introduction session and program to suit me with a follow up session 2 weeks later introducing me to more exercises and equipment. I’m just loving it!! Really proud of myself 😊

I've recently built up enough courage to go back into the gym with my husband. It's a lovely, friendly atmosphere I've not experienced before. I really struggle with anxiety, so it may not look like I appreciate it when the staff ask if I'm okay but, I do. Will definitely renew my membership after I've recovered from my operation this week.

I have been to a few gyms previously and never returned. I think being comfortable in a gym helps with how you feel in yourself and your effort you put in. Since joining fitness republic I’ve felt nothing but welcome and comfortable. Everyone is so friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have or even show you the ropes. From doing Spin classes with Blanka and her beautiful personality - to multiple classes with Jackie and her amazing beaming smile - which is enough to light up any room, to having PT sessions with Connor and his energetic encouraging attitude. They are all so lovely. I recommend anyone who wants to try a gym to go here first X

Great gym, trainers go out of their way to help you. No egos, all abilities with different goals. Third month in and really starting to see the benefits. Can't recommend enough. Give it a try, I joined as a complete novice

I absolutely love this gym, every single member of the team is supportive and friendly. The gym caters for everyone with lots of equipment within the gym and then a huge variety of classes throughout the week. I am not particularly confident in the gym but the programmes set by the team (which are regularly reviewed) help me to make the best of my visits. They also offer regular personal training sessions which are absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend Fitness Republic highly enough.

Fitness Republic is an amazing gym! It’s family run and has a real family atmosphere. I am not a natural in the gym, but I’ve always been made to feel more than welcome. Staff members regularly check on me and ask if I need any support. As a result I feel confident in recommending this gym to anyone! In fact, my 15 year old has joined with me and the team are swiftly helping her become more confident in using the equipment AND herself.

Thanks Fitness Republic

I can’t recommend the Fitness Republic team and the gym itself highly enough. The team are so supportive and friendly and are there when you need them but also let you get on with it if that’s your preference. My daughter, husband and I are all members and we absolutely love it. It’s spotlessly clean and I know we’re all looked after. You even get 7 day pass to try it out first!
Just awesome.

Friendly staff who listen to you and offer support and advice, good selection of equipment and opening hours. Overall a pleasant place to work out
