Everlast Gyms - Burton Upon Trent

The gym felt empty. I managed 4 days then exercised my 14day cancellation clause. There was a lot of space that could be used for new equipment. The gym had the basic equipment but was missing a lot of the usual things you'd find in most gyms. Issues with some of the lockers not closing properly but the biggest put off was the amount of water I always found on the changing room floors. It just gave it an unclean feeling.

The gym itself is fantastic, lighting was perfect and music wasn’t too loud. Couldn’t say the same for the pool side. Ceiling was peeling off in some areas and the pool had bits floating around in it. We thought it was an adult only gym and pool but there were children in there screaming (not fantastically relaxing). Steam room however was nice. Cannot justify the £40 a month price point however.

This is a great gym with a good community feel to it. Lots of different characters, ages and abilities which gives a relaxed atmosphere.
The staff are really friendly and happy to answer any questions.
Great value for money too!

I've just rejoined this gym. The value for money I think is really good despite some of the lockers not working in the changing room.
The staff here are excellent, polite and professional. Emma and Gavin were brilliant at guiding me through the simple membership process as I forgot my reading glasses!! 😄
This is a shout-out for Kevin! Everyone is very happy that you're now back and the changing rooms and shower areas are sooo much cleaner!! 😀👍

Cheers all 🙂👍

The staff here are lovely, the equipment is ok and the floor space is great. Changing rooms need some tlc as the lockers are lacking quality. All in all the facilities are reasonable for the price.

I have left this gym recently due to the music be far too loud. I've been there several times now where I can't even hear my own music in my personal earbuds!! I think they need an ethos to work around because the music is generally too loud a lot of the time and it's usually a member of the public's music!?! I'm sure a lot of people don't actually want to listen to DJ Sammy or some random drum base mix at a high volume. I also don't want to have my earbuds too loud as that's damaging to my ears.

I write this review as I am disappointed with the facilities and hygiene of the premises, I have spoken to the management on a number of occasions but nothing has been done to improve the situation.
Exercise machines have been broken for 6 weeks and no repairs, hygiene has deteriorated, condensation on the ceiling around air-con vents, in general the facilities have deteriorated and no one has taken responsibility to fix it, l have been using this gym for a long time and I am highly disappointed.

DIRTY - I have used this gym on and off since it first opened as JJB. The floors in the changing rooms are so dirty that my feet are black after a few steps. You can see that the floor tiles around the edge are a different colour to the ones in the middle. I always wear flip flops now.

A thorough deep clean is needed throughout. There used to always be a cleaner around the place, but never anymore. Plenty of staff just standing around chatting however…

Floors are always soaking wet as there is nowhere to spin wet swimwear.

Aside from that, there are always issues - pool regularly cold, lights in changing rooms not working, showers cold, heating in changing room not working etc and nothing gets fixed in a rush.

It’s such as shame, as with the right management and some care it could be a brilliant place to go, but it just gets worse.

Negatives: Majority of lockers are broken. Changing room floor is soaking wet. Hot tub and steam room could be improved as not always working properly or is shut, some of its defining features!
Postives: The free weights and gym equipment still feels new and varied so pretty good. Swimming pool and hot tub when available. More people use this than the gym and its not very big so timing is essential.
Opinion: If you're only after the weights / gym there's cheaper alternatives in the area.
If you're after that bit more, ie pool, hot tub, steam room then yeah here is OK as long as its not busy and working.
Definitely needs some investment in the changing rooms / facilities.
