Everlast Gyms - Canterbury

I was a member when this gym originally opened as a DW Fitness, and it was great. I signed up again recently, hoping to enjoy the same facilities and have been disappointed.

The gym facilities are really tired. Equipment that hasn't been maintained (or cleaned) for years. The interior walls have all been painted black and half of the lights are switched off, which makes it really gloomy.

The pool facilities used to be great, but they are now as poorly maintained as the rest of the place. The steam room smells of stagnant water and the hot tubs have been removed.

For balance, the staff I have seen have been friendly and generally apologetic about the state of the place.

I'm glad I only paid for a month!

I use to be a member of this gym when it was DW. Paying £40-50 a month it was in the higher range of gym in Canterbury at the time (around 5 years ago), having better machines and equipment than PureGym and with facilities such as the pool and sauna I felt the price was worth it. Visiting last month on a free day pass I walked into the gym and literally nothing has changed, apart from the staff getting ruder. All the equipment is the same, a lot of it still boasting the DW logo. Most machines now have surface rust and look tired. Both hot tubs were also empty and looked like they had been for quite a while, along with the changing room decor desperately needing redecorating.
It’s a shame as being the only gym in Canterbury with a swimming pool and sauna it has potential to attract. Hopefully it’ll have a much needed make over

After the pandemic I think the gym has gone downhill a little..cardio machines need updating they have lost the jacuzzi which everyone enjoyed and water fountain near the steam room has been removed. Men's changing room and toilets looking dated
and dirty..

Great staff, always happy to help. Amazing swimming pool; crystal clear and warm. Steam room is great for muscles after a work out. Great class selection too!

Good range of equipment but unfortunately when something breaks it takes far too long to be fixed, extremely frustrating and happens far too often for one of the more “expensive” gyms in Canterbury

Really friendly and helpful staff at reception, with a gentleman even spotting me benching on occasions. Facilities are always kept really clean and a good variety of machines and free weights. The steam room and pool are a lovely touch too - really good value for all the added extras.

I love this gym. The staff are very friendly, the instructors are excellent, the classes are fun and varied, all the facilities, including the changing rooms are fantastic and it has a lovely swimming pool and a spacious steam room. I highly recommend it.

It's a lovely place to spend time relaxing. The swimming pool is the best, the water is clear and warm, perfect for swimming. The classes are wonderfull too, my "happy hour" is Zumba. The staff are great too. Many thanks to James, as he kindly helped me when I need help
