Total Fitness Chester

I was a member for 3 years whilst living in Chester, and the friendly staff made my experience at the top facility in Chester so much better. If you're looking for a place with great pool and other facilities with wide range of activities, would highly recommend the Total Fitness gym!

My wife and I have been members since Jan 22.

Good bits
Large car park.
Good variety of classes.
Masses of equipment in several locations. Damaged and broken machines are repaired.
Good pools including one with lanes.
Pleasant cafe.
Well maintained changing rooms with lockers where you use your own padlock.

Not so good.
Some classes can be noisy, and the noisy participants are unchallenged.
Classes fill up very quickly online.
Gyms can be very busy and hence not all equipment is available.
Too few of some sizes of dumbbell.

Overall, very pleased.

Such a beautiful and kind place. Our family want to give a big Thankyou to both girls called Amy and a gent called jack and the other male worker. My mum had a fall outside the gym on Monday 22nd august and the lovely lady called Amy sat and waited with my mum and comforted her in the rain which is beyond her reach. We are entirely greatful for the efforts of the colleagues and hope that they get the credit they deserve! This will be an unforgettable act of kindness from them and I hope they enjoy the card and chocolates they received!❤️

Great facilities, great staff, only downside is the parking of certain gym goers, like the muppet in his BMW that interrupted my session because he was parked across two space and didn't want to climb across from the passenger side...
But other than him it's brilliant

Unfortunately it looks like the equipment have stopped being maintained and replaced some time ago. Most of them seem to have parts missing or rust and even the carpets are torn in places and unclean. I would be happy if this was a £20-30 neighbourhood gym, but it’s not what I expected from a premium gym charging £60 a month.

October ‘22:
My previous review needed updating. Management have taken recent feedback seriously and have undertaken a significant refurbishment and renovation project. The whole place now looks modern and clean, with old carpets replaced by laminate flooring and modern elastic surfaces. A lot of new equipment has been purchased and (most of) the older equipment has been repaired. Well done!

Great equipments, spacious to workout and lovely staff and trainers! The jet pool is def one of the best way to cool down after a nice workout! 👍

I’m only two weeks in and really disappointed in this gym. Some of the equipment is really tired, the classes aren’t the best, the timings of the classes aren’t great with many of them being during the day when most people are working, the hydro pool is too cool to stay in very long, steam room been broken twice. I just had tonight what I was told would be a free personal training session for signing up but was just someone showing me how to use the weights. They turned up late and their knowledge wasn’t great. They keep pushing the squad classes which you have to pay extra for. I really wished I had joined the Hilton now instead for the same price but am now stuck here for 12 months.

Hydro pool is always freezing! It’s the same temperature as the main pool! It’s ment to be a hot tub. Steam room and the saunas Are always broken! Or one Is closed every day they are cost cutting but still charging us full price. I no this for a fact as I’ve been to 4 other total fitness clubs And all the members are not happy as same issues. And I asked a member of staff if they are trying to save money he declined to answer the question. If you complain nothing gets done about it. Avoid try another club.
