Not as bad as I thought it would be after reading these reviews. Im a member of a different branch in London in a higher tier and thought i'd come in for a couple of workouts while i was visiting Birmingham. I've probably been to around 20 of their branches and just think the people that go to this branch are far too fussy. For £45 in London there is no chance of also getting spa, shower and pool facilities. The drawbacks for me were that I tried to fill my water bottle and I was getting a trickle of water, took a while to be filled. I wasn't too keen on the atmosphere in general as a lot of regulars here are not as focussed on themselves and just stare at you, it throws me off a little, i guess this can't be controlled by the gym. I had people watching everything I do, commenting, having a go at others, its horrible. Personally I think they should just hike up the prices so that only serious people come here. You don't get this in London where you pay £100 a month. Even saw men looking through windows of the classes to perve on the ladies, they are disgusting. Also some common complaints are with the tiles in the pool and toilets, I didn't really use these so can't really comment property but the pool area is quite nice, toilets did look a bit dated. 3 hours free parking at broadway plaza where you can do more here than just go to Nuffield. Changing rooms are large and cleaner than mentioned in the reviews. Plenty of equipment here with at least 2 machines targeting each muscle area and plenty of benches and bar/dumbells, everything was working when I went. Staff were helpful as my membership card wasn't working initially and I wasn't sure how parking worked here. I didn't have the time to use pool, but from outside it all looked pretty standard. £45 is probably the cheapest i have ever see a Nuffield membership, we pay £100 in London, plus there's discounts available for student, NHS etc. £45 for a great gym, changing rooms, cafe, free parking, heated pool, sauna, hot tub, steam room and tons of classes and group workouts is great value if you can come here at least twice a week, its far far far more than what any other gym in the area can offer..

Had a physio referral from Bupa and had excellent diagnosis and treatment by Tom at Nuffield. My arm and shoulder feel back to normal. Used to be a gym member - knocking off one start due to covid pool policy in 2020 - was supposed to be limited pre booked availability but people overstayed their slots and this wasn’t policed

Joined up online yesterday and then visited the club for the first time yesterday also. Prior to signing up, I called twice with questions. Both times, the phone was answered quickly and my query resolved. On my first visit, the staff member who issued my card was pleasant, as was the other lady who copied my student ID. The facilities appear clean, modern and well maintained. Litter that was on the changing room floor when I arrived had been removed by the time I left. The pool area was clean and civilised. The gym area I haven't used yet, but had a look and they seem to have some good kit which will hopefully help to break the monotony. They have two studios and a spin studio as well which looks really good. There is even a small bouldering wall with crash mats round it - again, might help to mix it up a bit. Two reasons I removed a star: 1) Lots of tiles missing in the pool. It seems this was appearing in reviews 4 years ago, so it's disappointing it's not been remedied. I know pool maintenance can be a big job , especially as you'd have to empty and refill the pool, but I'd have thought it shouldn't be left for 4 years. Plus, replacing tiles should in itself be fairly low cost. Albeit I understand the cost implications of having the pool out of action and the cost of refilling the pool. 2) The toilet on the pool side had no soap dispenser so no soap, which is unacceptable- especially in the current climate. If the dispenser is broken, the manager should be going to the shop to buy liquid soap to use until the dispenser is fixed. Other than that, it would be amazing if their memberships allowed you to bring a friend for free once a week or something like that - many other gyms now offer this and it would be nice to bring my partner every now and again. Also, it would be handy if their app allowed you to monitor how busy the gym is and update your direct debit details. I'd also like to be able to make the shower hotter - I know it has temperature control, but the hottest setting isn't hot enough for me! All in all, seems like a great overall offering and with my student card I am getting it for £38 a month which isn't much more than the leisure centre down the road and no doubt Nuffield is nicer. So far I'm glad I signed up but will update this review as I spend more time there.

A brilliant gym in the heart of Birmingham. Pretty much all the facilities under one roof. It has 2 jacuzzi tubs, steam room, sauna, swimming pool at a reasonable size, upstairs gym is amazing. You can always find your corner and do your work out. They have the latest running treadmills which are all very clean and regularly checked. You can also bring your kids here to play around as they have a kids area section.i been going for over a year now and it's never let me down.

By far one of the best gyms I've been to recently. Good selection of weights and machines. I enjoyed running on the treadmill simulation very good fun surprisingly. Very clean, good showers, spacious sauna steam and jacuzzi. Spacious and clean locker room. Polite staff also as there was a discrepancy in which the way we booked our session but the guy was helpful and resolved it for us. Will definitely be visiting again and I cant believe all the bad reviews to be honest but they where from a while back. Definitely recommend!

Definitely the best Nuffield that I have been to. Very clean changing rooms, very spacious and varied gym, great sauna and jacuzzi facilites too. Great how you can get a health check and they have different memebership options. Plenty of parking, although some spaces are tight compared to others, located near lots of other stuff which is great. Looking forward to my next visit.

Better than my local gym, would definitely come again if I'm back in the area

Amazing gym and lovely staff too! With COVID restrictions it’s reassuring the efforts Nuffield Health have made and make it a safe place to work out. NHS discount on membership well before the pandemic. Free parking. Could go on... so happy I found such a wonderful gym. Thank you Nuffield! No more lockdowns!

L. S.

Very welcoming and friendly. It’s the first gym I have ever been a member of and 6 months in I visit 4 times a week. Sauna is hot, gym equipment is usually available, classes are great and staff are always friendly and helpful.

Gym ok but equipment dated,only 3 rowing machines and one was a death trap on its last screw. Wanted to join after my visit but left disappointed even pure gym has more rowers... embarrassment. You have a lot of staff sitting and chilling why not get them on a new cleaning schedule as the machines are often sweat drenched.

Ignore the dodgy reviews on google! This is a smart gym with great classes and training team. In the morning and daytime there is no issue getting the weights or machines you want. Changing rooms are ok, missing a few coat hangers etc, but they are pretty clean, and this despite the odd messy customer!

P. F.

I have been a member of this gym for several years. If you read these reviews on Google you'd think this was some dirty back street gym (of which I have been a member of in the past) and nothing could be further from the truth. There is a massive selection of equipment, could be updated with alternative machines for different exercises, but on the whole pretty much is covered. I mainly use the bag area for cardio and I love it. you get the odd dreamer pretending they know what they are doing on the bags taking up space, but it's worth a good laugh sometimes and not really an issue. I think the problem with the reviews comes down to individual snobbery if I'm honest. The sort of people who dont really train but are more posers on their phones in matching lycra. The staff are friendly and on the whole but some of the P.T.s could do with learning how to smile from time to time, or even just acknowledging you are there as you walk past them. other than a spot of dusting required here and there this is a great gym.

I don't use the gym so I can't rate it based on that. My rating is based on the swimming pool. I usually go late at night to avoid a lot people. However, sometimes I do get some people swimming at the same time as me. My only complaint is that the lifeguards never do anything to move people that are not swimming, or sometimes people that should be swimming in the slow lane, jump in the fast or medium lanes and just get in the way of everyone else and can get annoying. It should be the lifeguard's job to make sure that people respect the lanes. Besides that, I am very happy.

Best gym I have ever been, great staff always with a smile on their face. A little pricy but if you have an NHS discount it drops the membership price by a tenner. Still worth what you pay in any case.

P. B.

Fairly quiet at times as many still haven't returned because of covid. Plenty of sanitiser and wipe pods about to wipe equipment down before and after workout. I have felt safe there since returning

S. R.

Friendly and well equipped gym. My shape has changed for the better.

K. W.

The staff are great. They have always been really helpful. Love the facilities too!!!! One con: when you want assistance from the ladies at the main desk - you have to wait to grab their attention. Sometimes they are too busy nattering away!!!!! They need to be a little more MINDFUL. Thats all ;)

Great welcoming staff & the whole place is always kept clean/tidy from the gym to swimming, sauna & steam rooms. Highly reccomend it

R. L.

Good. Poolside not the most relaxing given the pool is really too small for proper lengths. Draws a mixed crowd. Somewhat overpriced.

Z. J.

Thanks to Morgan for giving us a great tour. Ended up joining. Looking forward to visiting again 👍🏽

T. M.

Not a regular gym member but nice selection of equipment, classes and a decent swimming pool with saunas. Can get very crowded, so nicer to go at non-peak times

L. P.

Definitely better than all of the other Nuffields.

W. B.

Facilities ok- changing rooms a bit dated. Staff are good.

M. W.

Facilities are great, but they need the female staff at the front desk to do a customer service course. Very poor service and attitude is not great either.

a. m.

Water in the swimming pool is dirty with too much chlorine added. I won't sign up next year .Avoid.

(Translated) I have just started my routine of going back to the gym, but this seems to me to be a very complete gym so far, so far it meets my expectations. (Original) Acabo de comenzar mi rutina de regresar al gym, pero este me parece hasta ahora un gimnasio muy completo, hasta el momento cumple con mis expectativas.
