It is a gym and pool combined. The pool is very good as it is full length and is in lanes for ability. The gym is only small but you can see the trees and the sky as you work out as there are windows( which is not the case at every gym) the classes are fun and if you are organised you can book onto them. The staff are friendly and there is regular group of us who all nod and smile at each other. On the negative side communication is poor, if classes are cancelled we are not always told. The automatic swipe entry is also not always working and depending who is on the desk you then have to queue to get in. The two regular more mature ladies are fantastic and recognise you and wave you through though. Gutted that you have to close for awhile but we will be back and thank you for the automatic gym freeze, so that we do not have to do anything.

Fabios classes are Fabio-lous (but need more lady Gaga songs) Rojis classes are Roji-uvinating

You get so much for your money at Better Gym with the swimming pool, the entire gym and access to the excellent fitness trainers. Everybody there is incredibly helpful and create fitness plans tailored to the individual. All the equipment is easy to use and results arise so quickly. There’s not a single thing I could fault about this gym.

I'm a new member of Better Gyms and I have to say I'm impressed. The staff and Abbey and Parkside are always so friendly and helpful. In particular, I like the online booking system which allows me to go on a waiting list then lets me know when spaces come up.

The range of facilities and classes available to me within my membership is fantastic. The value for money is great, particularly as a senior.

I like the provision for lane swimming which is the main reason for my use of the pool.

The staff dealing with physio referrals are very helpful and polite. The equipment is good the guides on how to use them are helpful. There’s enough machines so you don’t have to que, there’s a good variety of exercises you can do. The pool is good to cool down in or do a warm up in.

The service in the pool is really good. However , i still expect you to expand the lanes for fast swimmer so that they can have more spaces to practice

The gym is always very clean and tidy and the staff are super friendly. Especially Sam and Rod, nothing is ever too much for them! They always make my day with a cheery greeting first thing in the morning.

I swim twice a week at the pool. Great service very reliable, works for me. I go to Fabio’s Core Stability class on a Monday lunchtime. Brilliant. He constantly mixes it up, is incredibly knowledgeable, motivates us. Just great. You need to keep hold of him, an asset to the team.

I was referred to Parkside in Cambridge under a exercise referral scheme from Addenbrookes Hospital. I am also a deaf person. When I first arrived I was worry about how long shall I last here for. The membership is affordable and allows me to enrol on as many courses as I like. Gym offers various exercise classes that cater the need for all ages and groups. For example, there are evening classes for after work fitness, there are classes during the day early in the morning as well as midday during the lunch break. They are always popular and oversubscribed mainly due to a shortage of training space but people keep coming back for more. It is also a great place for meeting new people with the similar fitness interest and exchange ideas for training. Gym fitness instructors are dedicated and professional and always at hand to check on you during the exercises as well as going beyond the required. This made me become more focused and interested in improving my own body and stay motivated. Having re-focus sessions,one to one sessions, for example, is an additional very important bonus because it is always helpful to be able to speak to the instructor on one to one basis about the specific issues in relation to the fitness goals and plan as a part of the recovery from the cancer treatment. It allows me to readjust my targets and address my nutrition too. It is great to have a swimming pool, gym and its equipment at one place as this allows me to experiment with different combinations of my fitness plan and try new ones. This plays an important part in embracing the fitness as the part of my everyday life.
