Welsh Back Squash & Health Club

Welsh Back Gym prides itself for having people, not posers and I can only say that my time at this gym has given me every reason to believe them. The staff were always extremely helpful and friendly, always willing to take you through different exercises and help adjusting the different machines.
They’re also fortunate enough to have a MedX circuit, a combination of machines that give you a full body work out. When used properly, these machines are absolutely fantastic and very well maintained. They also have treadmills that overlook the quayside which allow for a peaceful run and an additional treadmill room with plenty of televisions.
The resistance machines are also well kept, though should be replaced soon. The free weights section is quite small, but the layout makes up for it. I never had a problem getting on all the machines I wanted, and I always managed to do several circuits on the freeweights without having to wait for anyone else. I found the members of the gym to be extrememly friendly and always willing to discuss various techniques, which is an attitude I haven’t encountered in a gym before!
The classes are also excellent, with a great yoga class led by Wale, and an excellent thai boxing class with Jason. The restaurant downstairs is also well worth mentioning, since the soup and food available was always surpringly great.
Overall, this is a fantastic gym in need of a slight refurbishment.
