I am on holiday in the area and wanted to lift some weights while away from home. Fitness Factory offers drop-in sessions at extremely reasonable rates and, more importantly, with a great friendly welcome and obvious extensive knowledge. The gym is on two levels and excellent use is made of the space available, with none of those bits of equipment that take up space but which no one ever uses. It is fantastic for those wanting to use free weights, including powerlifting, plenty of power bars and a huge range of dumbbells, as well as having the usual body weight exercises equipment - chin up bars, dip stations, and a rig for the more gymnastically inclined. A large padded floor area is great for stretching, core work and other unequipped activities. There is a large bank of cardio machines and a women-only area (can’t comment on the latter as didn’t visit it). I feel fortunate to have found such an excellent place to train while in the area and would have no hesitation in recommending it very highly.
