The Gym Group Northampton – Northampton

I am really pleased that I have a 24 hours gym so closed to my home. I can go whenever I like, always neat and clean, not too busy. Very reasonably priced.

I am so glad that we have a local The Gym branch. It's so convenient that you can pop into the the gym anytime you like. Neat and clean and well kept gym.

For the price this gym is 100% ok. My issue is that the staff appear to now know how to wear a mask. This is mostly the guys. Making a mask a chin strap helps no one. On the way in it says wear a mask when walking around, 90% of people do not walk into the place with a mask. Intermittent announcements about working out on your own, wearing a mask and wiping down the equipment. 25% of people work out in groups of 2 or 3. 90% do not wear a mask. Less than 50% wipe down. The summary is staff do not care and turn a blind eye. Did I mention that it is great value for money. You pay for what you get.

I'm a 5:15 goer. Always manage to find equipment, everyone is respectable and polite. Equipment is perfectly adequate.

A good gym, though nobody in sight was wearing a mask despite signs around asking people to do so when not working out and/or moving around. No obvious staff policing this and I would imagine it would be very hard to do so. First visit in a year, it was notably busy. Also noticed the odd person using kit and moving on with no intention of sanitising equipment after use. I was sceptical about coming back for this reason, but was assured it was safe and people were adhering to rules. The truth was contrary to this. I will be back, but I hope that while the pandemic is ongoing, the gym group will be seen to enforce the rules and/or their own policies to a greater affect, for the purpose of all users safety. Many thanks.
