Reviews of Bristol Co-operative Gym

S. W.

Friendly, inclusive gym which provides a great range of classes. The gym has recently had a refurb, with new equipment and gym flooring. I felt welcome when I arrived. The gym is part of a great community space in St Anne's. The coaches are knowledgable and professional, always helping you with alternative movements to suit your needs. It's a non-judgemental place to learn to lift weights. Classes are fairly priced on a sliding-scale model, so you can pay what you need to and allow others to come to the gym. The free weight equipment is great. It caters to people who are new to lifting weights (with lighter bars and bumper plates) to those who are more experienced. The people who come to the gym respect your space, and there are no macho vibes.

Had a decent class here on a trial week. Limited equipment. I think it's friendly and a good ethos, but I can't justify the monthly cost when it's just classes and no access outside of those times personally. If you need/want the sense of community and support getting into fitness for the first time or getting back to it, I can imagine this is great. If you like working out solo and/or want to use specific equipment and weights machines, and more flexible access, a more traditional gym would likely be better. Also if you're a solo female, walking this area doesn't feel super safe.

Super friendly gym with a lovely homely and supportive atmosphere and a very good variety of classes (check out the awesome Punk Aerobics!). You are free to go at your own pace and there is plenty of support to adjust the movements to meet your own abilities and requirements. I thoroughly recommend if you're looking to try something a bit different and want to make some friends at the same time.

Really knowledgeable, kind and empathetic trainers who still challenge you. Friendly people, great equipment and music. Very happy with this gym.

The co-op gym is an amazing place, it makes strength training approachable and fun. The members so run it work hard to create a training space built around accessibility and liberation. If the culture of regular gyms leaves you cold then the co-op gym is the place for you.

A friendly gym which welcomes people of all levels of fitness. The price is very competitive. No need to buy special clothes or feel you have to 'look the part'! I'm not the fittest but I've been given loads of encouragement. I do strength training in a session with lots of different types of people. The trainers always adjust the routines to match my needs and abilities.

"We hate gyms too!" - That was the line that drew me in. Months down the line, I'm so incredibly grateful to have found Bristol Co-operative Gym and very proud to be a member! From my first time attending, I was made to feel very welcome and supported by the attendees. Guy's instruction is excellent, he is accredited and offers a wonderfully broad knowledge of training techniques. He develops bespoke routines and helps build confidence in your ability from the very start. Despite my initial limited fitness knowledge and skill, I've noticed a pronounced positive effect on my both physical and mental well being. Lifting weights and training in a calm friendly environment has become such an immensely rewarding activity that I actually look forward to each session. I encourage you to give Bristol Co-operative Gym a try at least once, the first session is free!

I never thought I'd lift weights and be a regular gym-goer... But Bristol Co-operative Gym is one of a kind (quite literally) and I love going. The value for money is unbeatable -highly knowledgeable trainers providing personal feedback and tonnes of information. Go learn stuff about your body and make it stronger at the same time!

Excellent trainers for HIIT training in a quirky but adequate environment. The atmosphere is relaxed with everyone there for the same cause of improving their fitness . A great place for anyone that has no experience of gyms. I would recommend.

J. N.

A friendly welcoming gym for all levels of fitness and ability. Excellent feedback from coaches and great encouragement from other gym members. Wear what you want, lift what you want, listen to what you want... you will be amazed what you can achieve there.

This a super friendly, non competitive gym with professional advice on tap to ensure correct posture and to prevent injury. The strength sessions at the gym provide a balanced workout, and each person receives a tailored programme for every session, enabling you to work towards your own goals with your own body. There aren't any mirrors, so there isn't that sense of self-checking and being aware of what you look like when you're working out!

I have been going to functional HIIT for a while now, and it is awesome. It is really fun, people are easy going, Guy changes it every time so it never ever gets boring! And he gives advice and adjust everything to ensure things are done properly and safely. It is really inclusive so even I and all my roundness feel comfortable there. And fun. Really fun. Time flies!

Started going to sessions about 6 months ago after it being recommended by a friend. I cannot recommend it enough! The main (most frequent) sessions are the strength circuits (which I LOVE) and there are also HIIT (high intensity interval training), pilates and flexibility sessions too. These are great sessions for people who like to train in a super supportive atmosphere, with no feeling of judgement/expectations around body type / gender expression or how you should be approaching your training - it's not all about lifting big, you do you :) LGBTQIA friendly

By far the most welcoming, un-macho gym I've ever come across. I've learnt loads and it's been great for my physical and mental health. And I've made a lot of really good friends too. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

J. P.

I love it here. It's a really inclusive, supportive environment. Isadora and Guy make sure you're doing everything right so to prevent any injuries, I feel like I've learnt more in the last few weeks going here than I have done for years going to weights classes in other gyms.

R. H.

Super friendly, welcoming, wonderful gym. I particularly love HIIT on a Thursday, and always feel so much better afterwards, even after the worst day at work ever. Life changer, it really is. Thanks gym!

P. C.

Friendly free-weight gym that welcomes everyone and aims to reach out to people who are often excluded by normal gyms. Qualified personal coaching and a lovely atmosphere. You can become a member and have an equal say in how the gym is run.

D. H.

Relaxed, low key and friendly weight lifting classes - fantastic.

J. P.

Love this place. Great ethos and vibe and even has its own body positive and inclusive mission statement, ensuring all abilities are welcome. Fantastic technical support is given to make sure you’re lifting safely and progressing appropriately.

L. S.

Great HIIT class with a very knowledgeable instructor. All abilities welcome and thorough support for every level. Would highly recommend.

This is an amazing space to learn from a very skilled coach in an extremely supportive and laidback environment. I continued training throughout pregnancy and postnatally and have had a lot of fun as well as getting much stronger and improving my form.

O. C.

Really wonderful environment based around the real acquisition of skills without the intimidating, toxic gym environment. I love this class and have never felt out of place despite never having lifted anything before.
