Totalfitness Omdömen 

Class schedule is terrible. Very few classes like hiit, circuits, bootcamp at peak hours when people aren’t working. Mostly due to the instructors being blocked out for the squad classes which are basically small group classes you have to pay extra for but they tell you it’s “personal training” sessions

Just avoid the temptation to join , the Bolton gym that my daughter and fiancé are members of is a complete shambles. Non of the equipment is maintained it reeks of body odour and the changing rooms are full of pubic hair , it’s disgusting.
My daughter has had to stop using the pool due to large groups of young men loitering and ogling the female swimmers.
If I could give them a 0 star rating I would .

So the website states "try today for free" but what that means is you can try 24 hours later, so surely it should say "try tomorrow for free"

Seems like false advertising to me.

I did have a no commitment membership to where you can cancel anytime without a fee. First they wouldn't let me cancel unless it got to a specific date. Then I got charged £42.47 to cancel a NO COMMITMENT MEMBERSHIP. I got charged a whopping £91.47 over 2 days!

Update * On 01/06/23* Even after cancelling my direct debit and my non commitment membership. I received an email from Total fitness that I owe them £49 for my next months payment EVEN THOUGH I CANCELLED IN ADVANCE!!!

Please make sure you cancel your direct debit after you've cancelled your account as it seems they will try to take more off of you even with no agreement. I've had to block them from taking payments. No right at all.

The cold air blowers have been consistently switched on causing massive draughts in the yoga/meditation studio. This has been complained about for four weeks by myself and other members of the yoga classes. We are fobbed off by staff telling us that only the manager can switch them off but 'he's not in today/ on a course for a week' and nobody else knows how to do it...

Total fitness prenton.
Equipment not maintained, pool jets never all work, sauna or steam room always closed, lockers all with locks on even though nobody there,and now they put up my membership,,,,,cancelling today.

Rude blonde girl on the desk in the hull/willerby total fitness.

Come with my mates to try the gym for a day pass, instead she denies it and now you need to apply on the website 24 hours in advance.

Not been funny but if your pals are showing you a gym and you drive all the way there with them I feel as though someone who’s never tried the gym should be allowed to experience if?

The only option I was given was to pay £15 when I’d have been there for about 30 mins- an hour.

Jokers, won’t be using total fitness anywhere in any area after this and I’ll be letting anyone else know about my experience .

Avoid total fitness preston at all costs!
Rude staff who don’t care.
I arrived to swim with my 3 year old today and requested to buy a padlock but none in stock so had to take my bag onto the poolside. I then was about to get in the pool to be told by a RUDE member of staff that it was adults only till 1.30. She even rolled her eyes! Nobody notified me of this at reception and also doesn’t say anywhere on the app. I then had to get my little boy changed back into his clothes. I went to membership to pay the next four months of my membership off in one go as i just want out of this shambles of a place. Membership told me I’m not able to do this??!!!
Always equipment broken or out of use and FILTHY showers and changing rooms, not to mention the closure of the pool for two months.
If I could give it zero stars I would.
SHAMBLES

Whitefield club

I was a member at Total Fitness Whitefield for 5 years and the only reason a remained a member was because it was at the end of my street.

Upon entering the club you will receive the coldest greeting from the reception staff. If they make eye contact with you then you should consider yourself honoured.

The equipment will usually be filthy with the cleaners chatting away to the other members off staff.

The equipment is quite often out of order, and once something is broken it tends to be a recurring issue.

Overall the club does not create a good atmosphere for taking your fitness seriously. It feels like a social club with some bits of gym kit in it. If you are looking for a gym in Whitefield Total Fitness is the best location but that's all it's got going for it. Avoid.

Lincoln Branch.
The Lincoln Branch has two floors. The upper floor has east facing windows (no blinds), so gets very hot. Any Air Con or Air Blowers that keep the place cool are left switched off. There are portable fans in the summer but these are removed by staff to use for private lessons. Downstairs there is a smaller gym. Since Jan 2022 'Squad classes' take place here. As a result equipment is commandeered by the staff for this class. They drag out a large speaker that the whole gym are forced to listen to.
On the whole the gym equipment itself is old and often broken.
The male changing room is adequate but is lacking in benches. Some of the benches are pushed together and so some users will use two benches for themselves. If you seperate the benches, staff put them back together again.
Often the changing room, toilet and shower areas are dirty and lack soap. There are signs to say that the showers are temporary running cold. Apart from one week, the showers have run cold since mid 2022.
The main pool is excellent. The hydro pool is cool and has lots of debris in it; mostly sand and small black items that I can't distinguish. Its possible the main pool is the same. Until recently this area was also dirty. The Sauna and Steam room are good. There are classes in the small pool. Once again the large speaker is wheeled out and played at full blast. The whole poolside/hydro areas have to listen to the distorted music.
The music is played from a mobile phone and so I assume the individual owners have a music licence.
The staff in the cafe area are friendly and welcoming. The rest of the staff are often somewhere in the offices or taking a class.
The gym as a whole feels cold and un-welcoming. A gym that's run by the staff for the staff.
In recent years there have been surveys; however there has never been any feedback and nothing changes so I guess the managent must be happy with how things are.
Why do I still go here? because its the only large gym within walking distance. Compared to other gyms in Lincoln I would say that Total Fitnesss no longer represents value for money and would not recomend it.

I got"Pseudomonas folliculitis" after use the pool.

went to enquire about joining for my wife & myself the price went up by £5 /month because I am 66years old
where is the pensioners discount they advertise.
when questioned on this beckie's response was more or less take it or leave it

My 17 year old son signed up for a 12 month contract at £25.00 a month a couple of months in to the contract my son turned 18 and they have emailed him his membership will now be £52 a month !!!! I have rang and emailed numerous times without much joy the guy who signed him up has now left as my son asked him the question if it would go up and was told no. Avoid at all costs there is nothing in the terms and conditions to say this would happen it is just a rip off how can a price double during a 12 month contract????
Shame on you Total Fitness

CLASS A DRUGS FOUND BY MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CHANGING ROOMS.

THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WITH A FATALITY STILL NOT CONTACTED BY MANAGEMENT, I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK SINCE YET THEY ARE STILL WANTING PAYMENTS

I HAVE NO OTHER WORDS FOR THIS PLACE !

AVOID !

Went for an intro/induction at the wilmslow branch with my sister. Booked in with Lewis. We turned up early and we were told to wait on the cafe. We ended up forgotten about and Lewis went home! I lovely girl showed us around. Whilst being shown around a lady walked out of a class complaining that their teacher hasn’t turned up for the class and no one had told them (not great). After the tour I decided to use the facilities and came across two spin bikes with no pedals… Safe to say we haven’t joined up. It seems it’s all just a bit of a show. What’s worse is we gave our feedback and got ignored 👍🏼

The Wrexham branch of total fitness used to be very good around 10 years ago…
Now it’s full of dated, worn equipment, poor use of space on the floor resulting in no space in the free weights area but massive gaps all over the gym floor where space isn’t utilised, groups of teenagers allowed to train together hogging machines while they go on their phones and vape. It’s just a shambles when you think it’s the best part of £50.
Management don’t care either because they’re just head office puppets and ‘yes people’.

Very poor customer service. Gym is run down and doesn't reflect it's price point.
Only joined this gym to use the functional equipment but now half of it is cordened off to be used for squad sessions that requires an extra payment and even get asked not to use other equipment as PT's or coaches want to use it .
A dedicated area is set up for squad sessions but coaches don't use it and take over other areas of the gym making pre planed training almost impossible. Non of this was mentioned when we joined feel like we have been completely miss sold a gym membership.
Water fountains not working for days and not offered an alternative.not what you expect from a higher priced gym so disappointed with this place and it keeps deteriorating each week won't be renewing our membership much better quality,equipped gyms at a better price in the area.

I tried my free trial today and for the price they charge its absolutely ridiculous. There is too much free space and not enough equipment to use. I found it to be not very clean which I was disappointed about as there were members of staff just standing around and messing about with each other which I thought was unprofessional and to top it off I used the toilets and there was no toilet paper in 2 cubicles I tried to use. Overall not a very good experience at the gym.In times that are hard I think that to charge £49 a month and £20 joining fee is shocking I also tried JD Gym and my experience there was delightful and they had loads of different equipment and they charge half the price of Total Fitness so anyone looking for the best gym in Preston don't join Total fitness and join JD instead

I worked for total fitness a few years back and it was great. Customer focused, relaxed and felt like a community. Over the past 12 months or so they’re so focused on selling selling selling extra products like PT, squads and whatever else to squeeze more money out of their members. They have screwed over all of their freelancers by chopping back classes to line their own pockets and now struggle to keep some classes going because no one wants to work for them. Devaluing their customers and devaluing their staff. Lifeguards should not be on poolside longer than 30 minutes. At total fitness lifeguards are on shift for a full 8 hours which includes a 30 min break and 15 break. Not right at all. I struggled to pay attention half the time and poolside temperatures got me lethargic. Getting fitness instructors to do maximum workload for minimum wage, getting them to teach classes on shift and not paying them any extra. Leisure attendants manipulated into staying until 12pm midnight on minimum wage and if they don’t they’re told they’re not team players.

Posting this on behalf of myself and all my work mates who have either left or still stuck there.

Rubbish place to work and rubbish for members. A once great company now another greedy sess pit

Very poorly run and extremely bad customer service. Unfortunately, we've signed up for 12 months, so can't leave until August, but we certainly will be. We joined mainly for the pool, which was closed for 3 months from October - December - no compensation or anything. Don't even attempt to call customer service because you'll be on hold for hours - they never answer. The class times are awful and just not a pleasant place to go and workout. So expensive for what you get.
