It's January, so you expect it to be very busy. Clean, great facilities. Some out of order signs but usually quick to fix. Only down fall: pool would be great to have some kind of limited to people in the pool, as it can get too full to do laps (exercise swim) as some people are just nuckleheads and don't care they can see you working out. Staff not always on the desk. Always take your own lock for the locker. Be useful if they're was a facility where you could purchase a lock with key if the staff were not at the desk. GymEtc website not good to follow, so if you have any issues with software... good luck trying to get an answer via email or on the phone. Though staff are lovely and helpful when you can get through.

Been going to Gymetc for the last 7 months now, and have felt at ease coming and going every week. Staff gave me a brief induction around the building after I asked, which was a big help. There are a variety of machines for different workouts, a large room with yoga mats, mirrors, and weights, a blackout room with cardio machines, a room dedicated to free weights, a swimming pool, a sauna, and room for spin classes. Main majority of other gym goers are mindful and respectful of one another, and wipe down machines after use. The gym is mixed, and there's always a few people to say hi to after going a few times which helps you feel welcome. Price is great, membership was easy to sign up to, the app for gaining access is very reliable, and the facilities are very modern. Always recommend this gym to others in the area as it is also readily accessible with lots of parking.

Great gym with a nice pool, sauna and steam room. Lockers need padlocks.

Really like the pool area, as pool is a decent size. Good number of machines and weights available in the gym as well. I am retired so avoid it during busier times. I would have given 5 stars but I don't like it when mother's bring their sons into the ladies changing area, some if these kids look quite old, at the moment the family area is not available but from past experience they don't use it anyway 😞

I love this gym but it isn't perfect. There's loads of machines so you never have to wait for anything. Theres blue roll and cleaning spray for you to clean down machines. There's really random music on all the time as there are juke boxes. I like this but if you didn't you would have to have very loud earphones to block it out. Could do with a few more private changing rooms. The jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms are great but this is a busy gym so someone will be sat very close to you! Pool is alright but a chunk is always cornered off for kids lessons. For some reason a lot of people wear aftershave in the pool and you can taste it. Showers are really good. They stay on until you turn it off, not the kind you have to keep pressing. There's also shower gel in the cubicles. The doors don't lock though. Showers and changing rooms aren't often cleaned. You will be looking at the same shampoo stain and clump of hair on the wall for a few weeks. Hairdryers are quite decent for a gym and there's enough to go round. Overall it's a good gym and good value for money.

The staff are nice and the pool area is great, even having a few different types of steam rooms. But that said, it's otherwise pretty limited where it matters most. The gym itself feels tiny, there's little equipment, leading to long waits to use machines there's only one of, this isn't just a one off either, as this happened almost every time I went. They do have a large number of treadmills, but honestly I would say half that amount to make more space for other machines. Also the changing rooms aren't great, feels quite dated having a big open communal changing area. Some people don't mind that of course, but those who do haven't got a choice, even the changing booths have no doors so it's kinda pointless. If you want a simple workout then yeah this place is probably fine for you, and the after-workout pool area is a great way to cool off. But for me the lack of equipment and privacy make it hard to match other local gyms.

D. W.

Friendly staff, good hygiene standards, really good place to work out or relax in the pool

D. S.

Really good equipment, helpful staff, clean environment, good pool, sauna and jacuzzi area

s. l.

Great gym lots of equipment and has a steam room and sauna and swimming pool

A. W.

I used to love the place about 2 years ago but since then the monthly price has dropped and so has the quality of the gym. The staff are still as lovely as ever and it's definitely not their fault but the upkeep of the place is shocking. In the men's changing rooms the towel drier is missing, half of the lockers won't close or are just broken and have been for years now, there's always at least one broken shower and the whole place just looks run down. When the price of the gym was 45 quid I really thought it was great value for money, everything was like new and I was going around 5 times a week. Now it's 18 quid and you can't get moved in the place, no one speaks English and it's used as a bath for 50% of the members. I hate to see the place like this and really thinking about leaving. We don't mind paying more if the upkeep is better, all the equipment works and you can get changed without having to learn 11 different languages. Update It's back to its best, love the place.

D. H.

Modern gym. Lots of parking. Has plenty of cardio machines (don't think I've ever had to queue). Various resistance machines and a good free weights area. Pool is nice and has a sauna, steam room and fire and ice room. Men's changing rooms are often a mess and showers could be better.

D. W.

Really love going to this pool, I have MS and its great for me. The only thing I would complain about is while I was swimming today it was being cleaned!!! It would make more sense to do this while the place is closed. The smell of detergent was really strong.

L. T.

Love going lovely staff but just wish they would warm the pool abit

S. S.

Very good staff, haven't been to a gym in almost 20 years and the young lad Nathan who works there not only gave me a free pass to try the place out, he coached me on the basics after a full tour. There's all the equipment you need and after a work out you can take a couple of laps in the pool and finish off in the jacuzzi, sauna, steam room or the fire and ice room. Full member now, cheers guys great service

V. P.

If I see one more Plastic Bottle , I’ll Scream . They are absolutely everywhere. On the floor , in the lockers , in the showers , poolside , sauna , steam . There was even one in the sauna bucket. This is the type of Clientele , the place attracts. It’s a shame, because the Sauna and pool are fine . The place has not been maintained properly, and everything is badly worn , and dropping to bits . The staff don’t seem interested, and never seem to venture out of the office.

U. S.

Staff are brilliant, always there to help but especially Nathan whom without I'd still be an unhealthy mess. Facilities are all up and running with the steam rooms coming soon in May. Great atmosphere and very clean. Thanks guys 👍

Was a Great Place To Visit, Staff Were Very Helpful And Friendly Too

J. W.

10/10 best gym I've ever experienced. Great staff, good abundance and range of weight lifting machines and free weights. Loads of cardio machines and best of all there's a pool to warm up / cool down in

D. H.

Great gym plenty of rooms and if cannot be bothered can use the pool and chill good staff great rates plenty of classes

A. C.

I like this gym however the hygiene isn't great. I attend this gym every day and if a shampoo bottle or a razor has been left in the shower its sometimes still there the next day. There is always hair in the drains as well. The sauna and steam room is great but again hygiene isn't good. The weights in the gym are a nightmare you spend half your time looking for weights. I know people should put them away but obviously this isn't happening so I think the staff should check this throughout the day. Overall its a good gym just wish it was cleaner and more organised.

L. N.

Enjoyed the class. Gym is clean. The jacuzzi isn't much good but apart from that spot on

M. J.

Good set of weights and loads of different cardio machines. Gets extremely busy after work more than likely down to over subscription, on occasions I've went everything bar a couple of cardio machines were in use. The gym itself needs a proper clean, the amount of dirt/dust you see is disgusting. Sauna/Steam rooms are a nice touch too although again I don't think they're well maintained.

E. B.

I was a member here for many years when this was FX Leisure. Having moved back to the area and rejoined Gym etc, I'm glad to see that not much has changed. When I first rejoined, a few of the elliptical machines in the Cardio Room were starting to break. These were recently replaced but unfortunately with a very different style of machine (style, not brand), which I don't get on with as well. This may be the same for a few others as I've heard it said and noticed the machines get less use now. The pool area has been updated and is nice to relax in post-workout, although often there is slightly too much chlorine in the jacuzzi (something to watch out for if you have sensitive lungs or eyes!). Overall there are plenty of machines and weights of all shapes and sizes and also plenty of classes running throughout the day.

S. B.

Not sure about the staff, seem like they are in need of customer service training. Gym could do with a much needed renovation and cleaning. The steam room needs updating, swimming pool and jet pool has sand on the grounds. Gym equipment should be updated also

R. W.

I only JUST give this 4 because for the price you can't complain ! I think the spa is a lovely bonus to this place however it is seriously crying for a clean and others have mentioned this The gym is great however the equipment is a little on the naff side Overall though I would reccomend it! I enjoy coming here and for what they offer aswel as the price you really can't go wrong

m. k.

I'm a member and go at least 3 times a week. Facilities are good though it lets itself down in a number of areas. Cleaners need to clean and not sat around drinking coffee and socialising . Hygiene is not great hence why cleaners sat around drinking coffee. Lack of plates. Equipment all over the floor on most occasions as management and staff do not manage this well coaches are also not teaching the basics of putting equipment away. To much room given to cardio not enough room for weight training. Dance hall should be used for floor exersices not the plate room. Changing rooms are badly planned not enough room during busy times to get changed, antiquated probably the best word for the changing room and are badly in need for a revamp. The pool isn't cleaned well during the busy periods and need a better filtration system. Jaccuzi, sauna and steam rooms are ok though.

W. S.

Used to love going to the pool, but over the last six months it has become increasingly difficult to complete a decent swim. The is particularly frustrating as swimming is my main form of exercise. Every evening half the pool is roped off, for swimming lessons, it's vital that children learn to swim, but the pool is only 18m x 7m start with, so it quickly gets crowded. In addition, the changing rooms are largely, communal. I am comfortable with that, but not 9 and 10 year old lads running around as you're trying to get changed! In addition, the pool is often over-chlorinated and freezing cold. The staff, I have to say, are an assett and really lovely The other issue is, I'm a blue badge holder and disabled parking bays are frequently abused!

H. M.

Cheap gym with good facilities. Nice pool and spa. Always seems a bit grubby and the way some of the members treat it is a shame. Staff are all lovely.

S. C.

Great Gym, but should be open 24hrs, peak times extremely busy and a reason I stopped my membership. If this Gym and Pool, saunu and Steam room was open 24hrs would be best in North East as nobody has 24hr swimming.

a. w.

Pool is fab , steam room ,hot tub ,sauna all fab . Cardio area is decent however the resistance machines need a big upgrade but for the money its definitely worth it

P. F.

Web site said open on bank holiday Monday but on arrival it was closed, you can't contact them by phone to ask a question like are there many in the pool.i still go and enjoy upstairs and pool but silly things could make all the difference

J. F.

Good atmosphere as usual but no gym educate needs to be sorted

M. L.

Good gym with swimming pool, plenty of free weights and machines, yet could always do with extending free weights area n adding more benches. could definitely do with better air conditioning as it gets really really hot.

D. B.

this is a great gym so so good to me for work and home the only criticism I do have is that it is no longer open at 6 em. Instead it opens at 6:30 which for me is too late as I start work at 8 and would not get sufficient enough exercise for my own personal benefit full stop it would be good if they could take it back to 6 a.m. opening again.

J. S.

Nice and clean. Jaccuzi was a bit cooler than would have liked though. Can't wait for the sauna etc to open too. Nice place and friendly staff.

S. H.

Pool,gym, jacuzzi,sauna, all for 23.99 a month ,plus £20 annual charge not bad at all

s.

A really good well priced gym as you get a lot for your money however it can get really busy.

A. J.

Always enjoyed my time at this gym, can't wait for the saunas etc too open again

J. W.

Very good gym, easily accessible off the A1 with a vast amount of parking spaces. A good range of free weights and machines, fantastic facilities such as swimming pool, sauna, showers and changing room etc.

H. R.

Have just rejoined after a while away. Lot of new cardio machines which is good but air con needs a serious overhaul as it is virtually non existent in the cardio area and it was poor before I left a year ago. Please get it sorted out as it is not acceptable to have the door wedged open with a kettlebell to try to create a breeze!

s. f.

Love this place. Fab staff great crowd. Friendly. Great having a pool, sauna, gym and a huge variety of classes under one roof. At end of team valley for ease of access. Right next to A1 north/south and Gateshead wgickham.

C. B.

Cheap and cheerful. Most of the facilities are fine, it's just spoiled by the way that children are allowed to run around unchecked, often knocking into people. I know that this is the parents fault but more should be done to kerb it.

P. T.

Not a bad gym, unfortunately let down by its members who don't have enough respect for the facility to put their weights away when they are finished.
