Choices Health Club Allestree – Derby

Staff are friendly and always happy to help. But the place is tired and needs a refurb. It could also do with some more varied pieces of equipment. For the amount of equipment available at this gym I would say membership is overpriced. But, if you want a gym where you can access equipment and is easy going then this is the place for you.

Staff and customers don't wear masks. No screens around reception desk. Felt uncomfortable wearing a mask. Definitely a no go gym for me.

Perfect location / Gym Equipments always available / 2 Hours free car park / PT'S are always free to help ya BEST GYM IN DERBY 💪🏽

Really not worth even looking around, I called ahead to see if I could trial it, the guy on the phone said come down and he will sort it, when I arrived the following day Christian on reception said I had to pay £5, I said I was told to come trial for free and he said he wasn't working so it is nothing to do with him. I said they offer a free trial online and he told me to 'prove it' so I showed him his own website and then without signing anything he just told us to go in then without even looking at what I showed him. Going around everything is quite old and run down, there are some pictures I've got which show how dangerous a lot of the facilities are like nails sticking out of the sauna and broken wood sticking out.

Great gym with a good range of equipment. It is separated over 3 floors. The upper floor comprising of a free weights room, and a separate large room for different classes. The ground floor with varying choices of equipment for cardio and weights. Then there is a lower level which houses the changing rooms, steam room and sauna. I also believe they have a room for sports massage too (Don't hold me to that). What I have found surprising when I've visited at their busy times, is it appears to still be reasonably quiet, and enough equipment available to use. I really find the environment comfortable, and suitable for newbies looking for a place to work out without the disconcerting grunts of gym rats. If I was going to critique this place then I'd suggest the reception area be manned more consistently. However, this could be down to staffing levels. But I wouldn't let this put people off as there is a lot to offer
