Reviews of Revive Health Club and Spa

I have just joined the Revive club as my NHS physio told me to start swimming ! I found the monthly payment manageable and looked around with Scott who was helpful and knowledgeable about the pool and changing room facilities. A couple of days later Alex completed the membership process for me and again was very helpful and friendly. So far so good as are the pool and steam room and the showers and changing area. All clean and mostly in good order. I look forward to a regular visit and hopefully getting fitter too !

My experience in the Revive Spa was great. For the area it is located, the structure is very good, you wouldn't find anything else like that in Reading, they have decent gym equipment, sauna, steam room, heated pool, clean changing rooms and very helpful staff and management. The hotel has a nice bar and cafe over the reception where you can sit down to work on your laptop and free parking available. What else do we need? Highly recommended.

A fantastic all round gym and spa that covers everything from a quick sauna and shower to a full gym and swim session. Liam and his team ensure everything is attended to and kept to a good standard. We are kept informed of anything being fixed and all staff are friendly and helpful. I try and go as often as I can!

A great gym, pool, sauna and Steam room. Has everything I need. Very clean and the staff are always friendly and go above and beyond to help. Also has a great atmosphere with the other members. Location in Caversham is also very convenient with plenty of free parking available on site.

Replaced earlier review: Recently better than it was and mostly everything is working all the time. Early mornings are bizarrely overrun with a group of old ladies that make it difficult to swim before work but other times it's good. For the price it's a pretty good gym.

It was my favourite in Reading, however: Ruined from running the new membership drive for too long and overcrowding. Also the pool has gone cloudy due to lack of cleaning and gave me an ear infection. Many of the new members don't shower before entering to steam-room so I don't go in there any more. No shower gel in showers fir a month now. This adds to the overall shared level of higeane in the pool and shows a lack of duty-of-care and focus on priorities from the current management. *** Edit Jan 2022 - I updated this from 1 star to 5 stars because new manager Liam has turned it all around.****

The Gym has been my place to relax and unwind for over 5 years. Though, yes through the management changes there have been more low than high in its service. Recently I have seen a quire positive development in service, equipment, and cleanliness. Liam as a manger has gone from Strength to strength utilising his many years’ experience to provide a service than benefits members. He has improved the existing relationship and fostered new ones. Please provide the Gym/Spa a benefit of the doubt and give a day or two. You might be surprised how much it grows on you. .

The spa is fantastic. The steam room is he best I've ever been to. Sarah a marvellous massage. Jacuzzi as bubbly as ever. Gym well equipped. All round wonderful time.

P. S.

Good gym for my non-expert requirements. Pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi seem to work well. Only downside is parking and locker squatters. Disabled bays tend to be taken by inconsiderate non-badge holders. Car parking is a few hundred yards away and not directly outside the building.

Just sharing my two cents on the Revive Gym/Spa. Most of the negative comments here were once valid but are now outdated as it was essentially the negligence and lack of care from the previous manager which led to its downfall, however they have now thankfully thrown in the towel and left it in much more capable, professional, and experienced hands. Ever since the recent changing of the guard where Liam took charge as the new manager, I instantly noticed a complete 180 of the standards being raised back up again to a much higher level that one would expect of a health club/spa that is situated inside of a 4-Star Crowne Plaza Hotel. Just in the short amount of time since taking over, he has injected new life into the club and shown his care, commitment, and dedication to maintain high professional standards. Whether it’s from his willingness to go the extra mile for his staff and club members by frequently coming in voluntarily on his days off to ensure that everything is running smoothly or by often getting his own hands dirty cleaning all of the gym/spa facilities himself are just some examples of the things that unfortunately the previous manager never once did or even cared about getting done despite the complaints. As others have stated, this new management has brought about a drastic change to the cleanliness, customer service level, and an overall much more positive experience for us club members. Any feedback we have is now actually taken on board and addressed in regular communication via detailed emails which keep us updated on how each thing is going to be resolved as well as any upcoming improvements and new equipment. It’s only just the beginning but it’s already evident that the new club manager Liam will be able to successfully ‘revive’ Revive Health Club/Spa back to its former glory, if not make it even better.

Showers only run for about 10 seconds and water either cold or tempid - no hot water. Hard to shower after a swim when the showers are like this. Smell of chlorine is strong on the skin which means not got right chemical balance in pool. Loads of scum/froth on jacuzzi. Nearest place to where we live or I'd go elsewhere.

I had a few issues with cancelling my membership (I needed to due to medical reasons.) The issues I had were not with revive direct but with a company that dealt with the financial side (direct debits) . After getting in contact with Liam the manager it has all been sorted out. I can’t tell you how helpful Liam has been, he has gone above and beyond and when I am looking at getting back to the gym I will have no qualms in rejoining revive. Thank you once again Liam

Very decent for a hotel gym, as a hotel guest is was very enjoyable and super appreciated having the facilities there. Not sure if I'd pay for it as much as they ask of members. I think the gym should be a bit bigger and newer equipment to justify the price

Amazing place to relax. Avoid pick times if you can

G. S.

Me and my wife went there for spa day. We used some of treatments and facilities. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, dry sauna, steam room was open. At the beginning you could see s lot of kids in swimming pool but after half hour get quiet. We spend there around three hours and we was very relaxed. Staff polite. Changing rooms and toilets clean. Probably we will visit this place again.

I have been a member for many years and I have noticed recently a big improvement, the place is more tidy and runs better, big Thank You to the new manager of Revive 🙂

I was looking for a mobile spa in Berkshire area and found Windsor Beauty Therapist. I called Windsor Beauty Therapist for a friends birthday with a group of 5 girls. Mariana and her staff were amazing, professional, and all around fun to be with! The products she used were natural and smelled great! I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them.

Very pleased Liam is Manager the difference in the club is noticed in the efficiency & cleanliness.

B. L.

Good overall, love the facilities

We have started swimming again at the Revive Health Club since the lockdowen stopped. It is always clean and the staff are helpful.

Updating my previous review. Have rejoined the gym after Liam took over as the manager and can already see the difference!

P. S.

Very good place for training and relaxing, very helpful and polite stuff, I have noticed a change for better in the last month.

C. H.

Lovely pool and hot tub, can get busy at times

B. M.

The health Club has Everything needed for a basic training: cardio Equipment incl. 2 Concept2 rowers, dumbbells and a view Kettlebells, leg press. What was missing for me was a Rack and some free barbells and medballs to do my crossfit excersises.

Nice staff, clean facilities. Not a super fancy place but it's reasonably priced and has everything you might look for in a neighbourhood spa.

J. J.

Very busy because of half term. Steam room was a bit too hot for me!

J. B.

Still a few small problems but things have improved dramatically with the new management. Great efforts are being made to reward members loyalty and deal with problems in a timely manner
