Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness & Wellbeing Gym: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for over 7 years, treated like a king, trained like a warrior. The place has good equipment, good classes, the people are the reason you stay.
Fantastic experience: Really great session, staff are great and always good to see a smiling Shona. Happy new year to the team
Fantastic experience: I’ve just finished my first session at Nuffield Birmingham, ahead of my New Year resolution. Facilities were excellent and the staff really helpful, especially Shona. I’ll definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent facilities. Staff are really welcoming and helpful when it comes to using the machines and getting around. Shona in particular really made me feel welcome. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym great place to get back to fitness with the variety of classes. Staff are supportive especially Shona who is always willing to help.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, staff were great, especially Shona
Fantastic experience: I have signed up for a free 12 week goal programme and Tomas was my PT. He was amazing! In tune with my issues and very pleasant indeed. He knows so many helpful ways to improve my diet and fitness. Can’t rave enough about him.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym pre Nuffield so have been coming to this location since 2006. The practicalities of this gym, great city centre location but also great underground parking facilities validated for 3 hours is just great. Some people can be put off or intimidated by a big floor space when you get upstairs but everyone is here to work towards their goals. Its a good atmosphere once you settle in and get to know a few faces. Equipment is a good standard with plenty of choices for your work out, be it weights, cardio or machines, you will have what you need, dumbbells up to 50K so enough to keep you building. Classes are down stairs (I can't really comment as not my thing but I've heard good reports) Staff are engaging most of the time and you will get the few that will call you by your name which makes things a little more personal. Decent changing rooms and plenty of (pad) lockable lockers (bring your own lock) Showers are ok, and you don't have to wait too long for equipment to be fixed, doesn't seem to be down for too long. Matt - the manager leads his team by example, engages and will chat and talk which I think is great cust service, hes a good bloke too, realistic in his approach, he trains in the gym (which i think is good as he gets to observe the people and equipment) Overall, if you are looking for a good gym with decent staff and clientele then give it a shot. Thanks Nuffield Birmingham.
Negative experience: Very poor management needs to be reconsidered by HR who they employ within the industry consists of a bunch of puppets who sell themselves for a role and are also poor at decision making do not waste your money and join this gymnasium there is plenty other places that are a lot better then this
Dear "K K", thanks for review and our apologies for any interactions or club visits that have not been satisfactory. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your club membership, please do not hesitate to request the duty manager who will be able to provide further assistance. With regards, the Birmingham Central Fitness & Wellbeing Team
Fantastic experience: I have been at Nuffield Health for over 10 years and love this gym. Staff are welcoming and helpful. There has also been significant investment in new equipment which doesn't happen in every gym. The gym and changing rooms are clean and well maintained. The gym floor has a really supportive atmosphere and the zero tolerance policy to troublemakers has been really good in maintaining this atmosphere. The 3 hours free parking is only an added bonus. You can tell that Matt and his team have made a huge difference since coming in
Fantastic experience: I’m 39, work in IT as a Tech Architect and have to sit by a table for almost the whole day for work (doing this for the last 15 hrs) which is why I have developed AS(arthritis). Joined this programme in September and loving it ever since.. By far this is the best program that’s out there for joint pain rehab in my opinion. Cat Donovan-Barnes(Cat) is a lovely teacher/guide/joint pain rehab specialist, her efforts and behaviour while conducting the sessions are brilliant. She and all other participants are respectful to your situation, don’t discriminate on your inabilities or on anything else as such. Cat not only shows the exercises(Pilates, stretches, cardio, pool workout sessions, strength building exercises) but also conducts these group discussions on how we should always stay focused on our joint pain issues, what kind of food we should eat/avoid, how we should plan our gym routine to reach an achievable goal which are highly appreciated. I loved all the sessions and would (by all means) like to rejoin the programme in the next season If that’s possible. Highly recommended for people of all age groups suffering from joint pain. Big thanks to Cat for everything!
Fantastic experience: Joint pain clinic sept 24 Signed up for those and was accepted on to the programme, this took a little while due to demand & I confess I was thinking twice about it however so glad I stuck with it. Cat has been great so approachable she took the time to get to know us individually first and as part of the weekly sessions ensures we are all on track with it. Weekly sessions are a mix of thought provoking discussions around managing our own pain and a variety of exercises helping us to look at what works ( or doesn’t) for ourselves. As we reach the end of the programme the “ homework” to design our own exercise plan whilst considering other factors affecting our health & inflammation means we leave equipped to carry this forward. This has been really helpful in helping me consider how I manage my pain moving ( a lot freer) forward
Fantastic experience: I would like to leave a 5-star review for the physiotherapy services provided by Nuffield with a special recognition and a big thank you to Tom Murray who I have been working with for the past few weeks. I have been struggling with neck/head/eye pain for c 2 years which would flare up and disappear on and off. Working with Tom was a great experience to understand the root cause of the chronic pain, what is causing the flare up episodes inc long term management using different techniques. Often seeing a practitioner it can feel like a box ticking exercise and this was the complete opposite experience with Tom who would ask questions, listen and suggest practical solutions to resolve the ongoing issues. Once again, this is a big thank you for the Physio team at Nuffield specifically Tom Murray.
Negative experience: Ongoing noise issues that have significantly impacted my experience. Despite previous complaints to the shift manager, the noise levels in areas such as the shower rooms, changing rooms, and swimming pool remain excessive. The shouting and splashing have made it difficult for me to use the facilities comfortably, often leaving me with headaches.
Morning Stavros, thanks for this feedback and we are sorry for the discomfort this has caused. Our apologies, but we won't be making any changes to sound systems nor can we control normal ambient noises, during peak times. We can only recommend you check with the Reception team the quietest times in-club where ambient noise will be minimal. With regards, the Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
Fantastic experience: I visited Nuffield Birmingham this morning.. loved the spa even though l missed the jacuzzi. Staff are very helpful and polite.. the changing room is modern and airy. I accidentally left my costume in the spinner.. having noticed my error I return to the gym to be pleasantly surprised to see that it had been place on the side! I will definitely be visiting this gym again!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Personal trainers are really nice, friend and approachable. Especially, James who has an uplifting attitude/vibe every time you see him and his classes are thrilling/energetic.
Negative experience: If your LBGTQ go elsewhere unless you want to be hurt , singled out and attacked, all NHS staff line myself spend your money elsewhere, it’s not the staff but the kind of abusive, discriminatory people they are happy to welcome in as long as they have money
Dear Adrian, our sincere apologies for this incident at our club. We have tried to make contact with you, however the details we have on our system are not up-to-date. Please can you urgently confirm these via: [email protected] and we’ll be in contact ASAP to investigate this incident further. Thank you in advance for this information. With regards, the Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
Positive experience: I joined in January after trialling a 3 day pass and haven't looked back. One of the main reasons for choosing it was the pool, which I still enjoy using. A minor niggle is that especially on an evening that more could be done around lane management. The pool, sauna and steam room are all kept clean, as are the changing facilities. The amount of studio classes, the range of times and quality of instructors is excellent and this for me is a standout area. Instructors are very good at making sure everyone is included and able to participate at their own level. My personal favourites are Zumba and Body Attack. I didn't venture onto the main gym floor for a few weeks. As a fifty something lady embarking on a weight loss journey I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. I couldn't have been more wrong. I had an introductory session with Cat one of the PTs. She really settled me in and came up with an exercise plan. She is still there whenever I need her support. I also really enjoy her classes and she is very good at making sure you are doing the exercises in the right way and has given good advice on nutrition and general wellbeing. To be fair all the instructors are approachable and there are some that I haven't had much to do with but always say hello. Generally I am always able to use the equipment that I want, even at busy times. Again a minor niggle is that some members sit on equipment for several minutes at a time, using their phones. I appreciate this isn't a direct Nuffield problem, however,it could be managed better. 8 months after joining I've lost nearly 16 kg and counting. I know for sure that the fact I feel comfortable there and the staff and members are friendly has made me stick at it. It has been a classic journey but I'm now fitter than I have been in a long time. I must admit when Tomas first said we were going to so headstands during one of his classes I thought I won't be able to do that....after a few weeks whilst I still need a wall I can actually leave the wall for a few seconds! Tomas has been very good at making sure to understand it is all about the progress and sticking at it. That to be fair is the stand out thing for me. The instructors/PTS are there to support but also challenge you too. Over the last few months I've moved out of my comfort zone as I've felt able to do so. At the beginning I never expected to be enjoying Body Blast circuit classes, another shout out goes to James for making sure I'm put through my paces. I hadn't expected to write such a long review but given it is now my second home, I think it deserves it! I didn't look at other gyms before joining but feel that the fact that it is part of the Nuffield Health ecosytem and not just a gym is where there may be a real point of difference with other gyms. I took part in the 12 week personal best programme, where the focus is on general health too. Thanks to Callie for supporting me on that and for great aqua aerobics classes. I can't write any more as I need to get ready to go to the gym
Fantastic experience: Special shout out to PT James. James is professional and is very welcoming, always willing to help. If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what you’re looking for James is the man!
Fantastic experience: The receptionists are helpful
Fantastic experience: Nuffield Health Birmingham, is a fantastic fitness centre, the gym and class facilities are excellent, but what stands out the most is Charlie, my personal trainer. He has supported me in losing over 3 stone and not only improving my physical health but also my personal wellbeing -thanks Charlie!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and facilities, been going for a while now and can highly recommend both the wide selection of weights and equipment, together with varied classes for all fitness levels. Special mention in particular to James as his classes are excellent!
Fantastic experience: Since joining Nuffield Health, I've felt really welcome. Yasa was the first one to make a good impression, and I’m always thankful to his professionalism and good spirits. A big thank you to PT James Weaver, who was the first to help me when I felt a bit lost with the machines. He’s always full of energy and super positive. I also want to give a huge shoutout to PT Daniel Hale-Mitchell, who introduced me to kickboxing. His classes are amazing! Dan’s knowledge, professionalism, and positive spirit make every session something to look forward to. He’s made me love kickboxing, and I wish his classes were on every day, it’s the main reason that makes me want to always remain a member. Nuffield Health feels like a family thanks to the great staff and trainers!
Fantastic experience: James is a great PT. Iv worked close with James and he has transformed my body and my confidence along the way! I couldn’t get along any better with James he is amazing and any area of the body he knows best. Iv come along a far way with James help, if you need help and guidance James is the guy for you ! Amazing and professional in all aspects. Hope you have a great career from Foz. Roll on class 10/10
Fantastic experience: James is an exceptional personal trainer who brings energy and personalised attention to every session. He tailors workouts to individual needs, keeping them both challenging and enjoyable. James’s passion for fitness and dedication to his clients make him stand out. Highly recommended for anyone serious about reaching their fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Nuffield for nearly 2 years now and honestly can’t fault it. All of the staff are like one big family who’ve helped me in so many ways and have officially made me addicted to the gym! I could list everyone of the staff but a special mention to Zee and Giselle on reception, Ben and Liam and all the Pats but especially James whose taken extra time to help me plan my sessions and exercises to get me to achieving my goals. Thank you ♂️
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been too. Everyone is friendly . Staff are friendly . PTs are all so nice. Highly recommend you come here and if you ever want a PT session, go to James or Charlie!!!
Fantastic experience: Lovely Gym, James Weaver is one of the many great PT’s!
Fantastic experience: James’s classes are 10/10 - even if he roasts you for turning up late . James always goes above and beyond to support anyone who attends! His classes always has positive and upbeat vibes which makes the tough class more bearable! Thank you James for keeping me motivated enough to attend the gym
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. On my first day, I had a tour guide who showed me around. The other day I met James an amazing gym instructor. Since I’m a beginner, he showed me the basics and was very patient with me. All around great staff, great service.
Fantastic experience: Great gym to be a member at. All staff very polite and helpful particularly James who is always around and approachable if needed! Facilities always clean and great variety of machines to use. Couldn’t fault !
Fantastic experience: Struggled to make progress in the gym after suffering a seizure. Mate put me in touch with his PT, Weaver (James), who has slowly but surely fixed me
Fantastic experience: Great PT sessions with James
Fantastic experience: Nuffield gym is the first gym I’ve felt really comfortable training in and not making a fool of myself! The staff are great, the equipment variety is extensive, there’s a big pool, steam and sauna (love!) and the shower facilities are kept really clean. I recently had the pleasure of having PT sessions with James and have never felt so comfortable so quickly with someone. He has an infectious personality and was great at adapting workouts and pushing me to lift more than I ever thought I could!
Fantastic experience: The kickboxing class led by Daniel Hale-Mitchell at NH Birmingham is a dynamic one open to all levels of experience. It's a great balance of technical work and cardio/fitness. Great for those trying a new class or experienced alike.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, good range of equipment always but always busy! Working with a great PT Charlie McGivern on building my muscle mass and technique on compound lifts
Fantastic experience: Amazing team at this gym. Shout out to James Weaver. Top class instructor and motivator. A credit to this gym.
Fantastic experience: Nuffield gym has been my favorite since day one, the facilities are top notch. The staff is welcoming and are always there to help, specially James thanks to him I am being regular to gym now. One of the few people at nuffield who have helped me alot in my workout routines.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for a while, and it's hands down the best fitness center in town. The equipment is always clean and well-maintained, and there's a great variety for all types of workouts. But what really sets it apart for me is my PT, Charlie. He's knowledgeable, motivating, and always customises workouts to help me reach my goals. Highly recommend this gym!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym with welcoming reception staff and a huge variety of gym activities to get stuck into! This outstanding gym has been my daily go-to for over 5 years and excels with highly experienced PTs who help to guide you towards your goals. My fitness journey stepped up thanks to Charlie McGivern who improved my inner core and overall body strength through the core conditioning and strength & lifting classes! His powerlifting expertise is a great asset to the gym and to us all in Charlie’s classes (it’s not often that you get to train with a powerlifting champion!). The gym offers a variety of other classes such as highly skilled callisthenics class, intense kettlebell circuits, or relaxing yoga and aqua classes… there is plenty to choose from! If you’re up for a lunch time vibes, all body circuit workout & amazing music then check out James Weaver’s kettlebell class! He’s highly motivational and super skilled PT, creates amazing atmosphere and makes us look a (good kind of) mess at the end of each class . Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Nuffield Health Birmingham Central has been an amazing place for my fitness journey, and the standout feature for me has been the incredible kickboxing classes with Dan! He’s an excellent coach—motivating, skilled, and always pushing you to perform at your best. Dan creates an energetic and supportive atmosphere, making every session both challenging and enjoyable. His attention to technique and individual progress is second to none. Beyond the kickboxing classes, the gym offers a wide variety of top-tier classes and equipment that cater to all fitness levels. The facilities are always clean, the staff is friendly, and there’s a real sense of community. Whether you're looking to improve your strength, endurance, or overall fitness, this gym has it all. Highly recommend Nuffield Health, especially if you want a great kickboxing coach like Dan!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym since Nov 2023, and it’s been a game-changer for me, especially the kickboxing classes. I used to do boxfit at another gym, but the difference in my progress since joining here is incredible. In these months, my technique has improved massively. I feel more confident, and it’s all thanks to Dan, the kickboxing instructor. Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or group classes, he’s been outstanding. He’s always offering tips, correcting my form, and explaining everything clearly. Dan makes sure I fully understand, pushes me to do better, and keeps the sessions fun with his easygoing and funny nature. In addition to kickboxing, I’ve been attending the calisthenics, strength, and lifting classes, which have really improved my overall strength and skills. The personal trainers here are super supportive and really know their stuff. I also have a passion for dancing, so the Zumba class is a highlight for me! The gym’s atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with helpful staff all around, from the trainers to the reception and pool staff. It’s a place I wouldn’t think of changing. If you’re looking for a gym that will truly help you improve your skills and fitness, while also providing a welcoming and supportive environment, this is the one!
Fantastic experience: Good location and facilities The biggest asset is Dan Hale-Mitchell. A great PT, very knowledgeable and and a super kickboxing coach. Thank You
Fantastic experience: Dan is a great coach and I really enjoy his Kickboxing classes, much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Have been attending Dan H-M’s Kickboxing classes at Nuffield Health Birmingham Central and they are brilliant! Dan caters for all skill levels and ensures that everyone in attendance is given personalised guidance on how to improve their form and technique This is the first gym that I’ve attended that offer kickboxing classes and it really makes the gym membership worth it
Fantastic experience: Been going here for over two years now. Always plenty of equipment available on the gym floor great to have access to the poolside facilities in a central location with free parking. Staff are great, highly recommend Dan Hale-Mitchell if you're looking for a PT as well.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with a welcoming atmosphere, thanks to great staff like Ben, Danny, and Gizelle, who always ensure a positive experience. The classes are fantastic, and the inclusive environment is a refreshing escape from daily stress. Zee and the front desk team are always friendly and helpful. Matt and Liam, you're doing an amazing job. A special mention to Andy, Kat, James, Gary, Michelle, Thomas, and Charlie for their dedication and expertise. (The list goes on and on...) I highly recommend Nuffield Birmingham Central!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. Clean and friendly environment. Great personal trainers. Swimming pool is heated and well-kept. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: Good gym but felt very uncomfortable by all people recording. Mainly the staff. Don't you have a camera policy? Won't be back

They will ask permission of members who might be in the background, before filming.

More information on this policy can be found in point 25 of the terms and conditions: https://www.nuffieldhealth.com/terms/fitness-and-wellbeing-terms-and-conditions Best wishes, the Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
Fantastic experience: When it comes to city centre gyms, nothing comes close. Incredible swim/steam/sauna facilities, amazing classes and state of the art gym equipment. On top of that there are the benefits of the Nuffield health group with discounts on other services. The main thing though, the super friendly, helpful and accommodating team. Danny was extremely helpful and made sure we settled into the club well, always checking in. Shame there’s not a 6th star.
Fantastic experience: Joint Pain Clinic This has been an enriching experience so far both physically and mentally which I'd not considered before hand. Strength has improved considerably in my upper body, groin/hip - I can now weight bear with much less pain. My balance and stability have also improved. Cat is our instructor, a very knowledgeable lady albeit frank and to the point but that's a good thing, as she only has 12 weeks to help us establish some good training habits in order to improve our pain and ultimately our lives. This course is well worth the sacrifice of your time and effort if you genuinely need help to reduce your pain. Thanks Cat
Fantastic experience: I joined joint health programme in Nuffield health Centre.Under Cat,s supervision I improved not only my joint health I improved my emotional and social skills as well.Cat is so nice,friendly and professional. I will recommend everyone to join Nuffield for better quality of life.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.. from start to finish excellent facilitiy spotlessly Clean a well run gym also the staff are very helpful and Danny my first contact with Nuffield has been really helpful and got Me started on my journey to get fit and healthy so a big thank you to him for all the on going support... highly recommend this organisation ✅
Fantastic experience: Well equipped gym Good selection of classes - Awesome class instructors.
Fantastic experience: Nuffield gym pain management course has been a life changer with a great support network from the trainer Cat to the amazing group ( early risers 8-9) The course has elements of Education that is beneficial for lifestyle changes as well as exercises including Aqua Pilates ,weights , gym machinery aiming to work and strengthen all parts of your body at your own pace. I would strongly recommend this course don’t suffer in silence . I have already seen signs of improvement after just 4 weeks and my relationship with the gym is so much more positive. Nuffield itself is inviting with helpful , friendly staff and offers numerous classes, pool, sauna and steam room . I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I started pain Management programme a few months ago, with Cat (mrs motivator) who stands no nonsense and understands my limits, she is very inspiring and gets me moving! Even though I didn't feel like it at first, my motivation was low, self esteme was low, and i was in pain , but now I walk more, walk taller and faster because I want to!! I manage stairs so much better, and now move more "because I can" not because I have to, it's not a miracle cure, and you do need to commit "for yourself ' but it gives you the tools to work with to help YOU.. The centre is large and airy, no overcrowding, I thought I'd feel intimidated but i dont, everyone one of the members have some sort if pain and it not a competitiont to see who works hardest, you work within you limit, the centre, is clean from the gym to changing rooms and free parking is a bonus! The staff are brilliant. I've still got few months to go, but I know it's onwards and upwards thanks to Cat for giving me my mojo back.
Fantastic experience: This review is for Catherine who does Joint management classes. It is a shame that your system only goes up to 5 * because she is hell lot more higher than that All in all the programme is certainly benefitting me. She is beyond any doubt very good at what she does. I wish her well and sincerely hope that many others will benefit from what she has to offer Suresh Rajpura Ommmmmmm
Fantastic experience: Currently taking part in the joint pain programme, I genuinely thought I wouldn’t make it past week 2 before I started (even that was being hopeful), but here we are with 6 weeks completed. Cat has really helped every member of the group understand the theory behind the practice, offering the knowledge and guiding us to be confident and independent, I am already regularly reducing my medication as the pain has reduced. The reception staff have all been great too, especially when I may have lost my locker key! Looking forward to the remainder of the sessions.
Fantastic experience: Excellent programme! Can’t recommend it enough. The programme has reintroduced me to exercise and I’m already feeling more positive about the future! Our leader Cat is fantastic, supportive and knowledgable and I love my group who are equally encouraging and supportive
Fantastic experience: I have been doing the joint care program and I highly recommend it to anyone who has some form of joint pain. I have seen improvements in the pain and also the movement of my knees.Cat who is our group coach is amazing, she mixes up the exercises so we get a chance to see what works best for us as individuals, and she also adds modifications so we can work to our individual abilities. Cat doesn't shy away from questions and has a lot of knowledge in various things.. we also have a group discussion and work through a book that covers various topics such as pain management and sleep and this also sets us up going forward with positive changes we can make.. Overall I highly recommend the program and the knowledge Cat gives us is priceless.
Fantastic experience: Joining the joint pain program at Nuffield Health has been a transformative experience. After only a few weeks I noticed significant changes in the pain I experienced, my energy levels, and how I feel on a daily basis. Cat is an incredible educator and group leader. The group is built in a way that feels safe, friendly and enjoyable which motivates me to exercise more and gives me a good relationship with the gym. Group topics are psychologically and holistically informed which offers a nice way for people to open up and share experiences. I definitely recommend this to anyone considering joining. All staff members here are very welcoming and approachable. The facilities are fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Week 7 of Joint Pain Management with Cat, I feel so much more stronger and stable physically. People are commenting on my posture and energy. Thank you Cat for all your guidance and support. Being part of a fantastic group for added support is a bonus.
Fantastic experience: Cannot believe we are nearing the end of our 12 week joint relief programme. It really has been incredible. The programme is so varied and not only addresses physical pain but also teaches you how you can better mentally cope too. I’ve completed exercises I never dreamed possible and that’s fully down to Cat who has been a wonderful mentor. She has given us all the belief that we can improve our pain and most importantly the knowledge, motivation and guidance to ensure we do. Thank you so much Anna Furey
Fantastic experience: The joint pain programme has been the best thing I ever joined. Cat has been the most brilliant instructor we had. Thanks for your awesome support and it benefits me alot easing my spasm and I can sleep better without relying too much on pain tablets. Besides, that she is bubbly and we all a great laugh during her sessions. Best Regards Ellen Yeoh
Fantastic experience: I recently joined Nuffield Gym and have been incredibly impressed with their pain management program which is run by Cat. As someone who has struggled with chronic pain, I was skeptical at first, but the supportive staff and tailored exercise routines have made a world of difference for me. Not only have I seen improvements in my physical health, but my overall well-being has also improved. Cat, the instructor is knowledgeable and attentive, always ensuring that I'm doing exercises correctly and safely. I highly recommend Nuffield Gym to anyone looking for effective pain management solutions.
Fantastic experience: I am presently attending the joint programme with Cat. What can I say 5 weeks down the line and the benefits are exceptional. Being taught how to manage and work through pain have given me some of my mobility back. Learning how to use resistance and cardio to function and also discussing how pain and diet affects daily life. Get my range of movement back and also my biggest achievement being able to sit on the floor without pain. The pilates that she teaches has given me mobility and function. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the joint pain clinic sessions at Nuffield. I have really benefitted from the sessions - I often attend the sessions full of pain and stiffness and walk out with a spring in my step. Cat is great at what she does and shares her knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you Cat for ur motivation and dedication
Fantastic experience: Currently attending a programme with Cat. The programme is brilliant we spend half an hour discussing any issues around chronic joint pain before doing strengthening exercises. Cat is quite knowledgeable in this field of work and is always willing to help. Cat listens and advice. I would strongly recommend. Don't forget the Pilates which am enjoying
Fantastic experience: Halfway through the joint pain programme and already starting to feel the benefits. The gym and the other facities are excellent, the staff are very friendly and helpful and I would like to thank Cat for her help and guidance with the excercises.
Fantastic experience: Currently doing the joint pain rehabilitation programme with Cat and I’m learning so much about how to move my body whilst living with chronic health conditions. Cat is really knowledgeable and offers advice for anything we are doing in class. I can’t wait to see how much progress I make at the end of the programme as I’m already feeling the benefits at just over 6 weeks in! Would recommend this to anyone who has chronic health conditions but wants to start getting more active and isn’t sure where to start. The pace has been perfect for me and I’m actually doing things without burning myself out which is where I struggled before. Brilliant programme ❤️
Fantastic experience: Delighted to be on the Joint Pain Programme with Cat. Although it is only three weeks in I am already feeling the benefit. Also as a 63 year old woman I had never been in a gym and found the whole thing a bit daunting. Cat's easy supportive approach helped overcome the apprehension I was feeling.
Fantastic experience: Honestly I love this gym the staff and trainers are really the gem of this place. It's definitely a community feel which for me is far more important that any fancy equipment. It is also a well equipt gym and good classes. Well done Nuffield Central I love traing with you.
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to thank you for all your help on Tuesday. We where well looked after very well. I just wanted to note how impressed I was with the cleanliness of the showers and general changing area. Having been to other health clubs previous I can see why your venue is so busy compared to them. Your cleaning team are an absolute credit to your club and everyone we interacted with made us very welcome.
Fantastic experience: Clean, not too busy on the weekend and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: The staff are incredibly dedicated and work to deliver and amazing standard of service. I've been a member for just over a year and recently signed up for PT sessions with Tomas Pangonis. I'm T1 Diabetic and have struggled to manage the condition for over 25 years. The support I have had from Tomas and the rest of the team has changed my life. My blood sugars are well within range, less hypos and I'm able to hit my weight targets. Now moving to work on strength and condition. Can't praise him enough. Facilities are amazing for the price. Only negative is minority of members who don't respect the rules or staff.
Fantastic experience: The people make this place. The staff are characters and have character, with world class PTs. Hint. Just go there. Young James Weaver, is a marvel, a delight, until he makes you train core, then he's transcendent, a legendary item, and a gentleman They've helped me with my account multiple times, given guests passes for my friends every time, always have time for their community
Fantastic experience: I attended a joint Programme which was lead by Cat, it’s been so life changing and gave me the motivation to look after my health and well-being again and really supporting my understanding of my own body and what I needed. Very grateful for the experience and the facilities are great. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Very positive experience on joint pain management course with marked improvement to arthritis affected knee. Program led well by Cath & would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I attended the Joint Pain Programme, here, and it is life changing. Cat is amazing, she encourages you to do your best and will always find an excerise that suits you. We were shown how to use all the equipment so that we would have the confidence to attend the gym at any time. We learnt how often we should excerise and about the positive effects of exercise on joints. There are numerous classes that we can attend so there is no excuse for not exercising. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, but most of our time was spent with Cat who was always patient and ready to help. This programme is a no brainier, I definitely recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Nuffield Health exceeds expectations as a superb and inviting gym facility. Upon our arrival, the friendly staff greeted us warmly, always ready to lend a hand with genuine smiles and enthusiasm. Collaborating with Nuffield Health was truly enjoyable, and I must highlight Matt's remarkable accommodation throughout our experience. The overall atmosphere and the helpful team made our time there truly exceptional.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym, good racks. Coach Charles is great.
Fantastic experience: The staff at the reception were all very friendly and kind. The lady at reception was so sweet and caring. Yasser was very helpful throughout. Will recommend!
Fantastic experience: A great gym, convenient location with a wide range of equipment and great strength facilities, with other luxuries like a pool and sauna and free parking. As a powerlifter this gym is rapidly becoming one of the commercial gyms for strength in Birmingham. All the PT's are really enthusiastic and willing to help, especially Charlie McGivern who always gives me a hand with my strength training and organises great lifting focused classes and activities (e.g. Halloween deadlift competition. A great gym couldn't recommend more!
Fantastic experience: I belong to another gym but was in Birmingham so decided to check this Nuffield out. Randomly ended up joining in a circuits class on the gym floor. Kept getting the exercises all wrong. The people running and attending the class were SO NICE and welcoming. It was so much fun and a great work out. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Just completed a 12 week joint care programme with kat. I can honestly say this was extremely beneficial for my wellbeing to learn and understand how to manage joint care. Before the joint care programme i was struggling with hip pain so therefore it was hard for me to get in and out of the car. Im now able to jog 5k 3 times weekly. There was an introduction on how to use all gym equipment. Classes were held twice weekly and on each session there was pilates, yoga, gym, aqua aerobics. In pilates we did a lot of hip opening exercises. This 12 week programme has given me confidence to go to gym and to carry on with fitness. I would recommend this joint care programme to anyone with joint care issues. Thank you Kat for your patience and time.
Fantastic experience: Angie’s group cycle class is amazing! She makes every class so fun with her motivation, singing and the friendly community she builds ☺️
Fantastic experience: Been going for approx 3-4 months now so feel happy to comment on these: - Really friendly staff and vibe. Always happy to help, and accommodate requests like praying or showing around - shout-out to Yasser! They also put up things for Halloween, breast cancer awareness and more which is really nice - great variety of machines, weights and rooms (sauna and steam after a swim is unbeaten). Also like the wipes around to wipe machines before and after use. - Great location - being on the ring road means it's pretty easy to get to but does get busy at rush hour like the rest of Brum. Parking is validated with a touchscreen inside the gym which gives peace of mind that you're not leaving your car somewhere random - does get a bit busy sometimes but not rammed where you're waiting.
Fantastic experience: I have nearly completed the joint pain program ran by Nuffield Health Birmingham Central and cat our joint pain specialist has been excellent. I would recommend anyone that has any form of joint pain to join this programme you meet new people and improve your general fitness in the process.
Fantastic experience: Joint pain programme at Nuffield Bham Central, has given me lots of tips for when I am in pain. It's helped me to get back into regular exercise. I am going swimming again. I now have new ways to switch my focus and, control my mental response to pain. Rather than let it control me. I have been looking at what I eat and its impact on inflammation. Have learned a bit about tai chi, yoga and pilates too. I use the gym efficiently to strengthen my body. Fully reccomend this programme, if you are fed up of the pain cycle, or think drugs are not the only solution. You don't have to let pain ruin your life. I have met folks in the same situation they often have tips to share. Cat the physio adapts the stretches,exercises and routine to our capability. Please try the joint pain programme you have nothing to lose. I'm fitter, taking less medication and hopeful.
Fantastic experience: Great programme, I am now off all painkillers. I am now in a routine for exercise and will continue after the programme.
Fantastic experience: Nice place for freshen up shame the jacuzzi was off .
Negative experience: price keeps going up and the jacuzzis shutdown nationwide!
Fantastic experience: Staff are amazing, very helpful and welcoming. It has a great atmosphere with lots of activities to participate in. The facilities are worth the price! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Good selection of equipment and gym layout. Has a pool, and man that new fighty PT. Damn he's
Fantastic experience: Went to Nuffield health Broadway on a 3 day pass must say firstly the receptionist was very professional and helpful the swimming pool nice and clean just had a walk through around the gym area looks good.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to nuffielfd for years and it is by far my favorite gym. The gym floor and pool is always clean and well maintained and they offer an excellent range of classes to suit everyone's tastes and needs. I personally love the zumba class with Marta, she's an amazing instructor. I've also had a personal trainer to help me get started on weight lifting with correct form and I'd highly recommend it to any gym newbies. Apart from all the services and facilities they offer, what really makes this gym stand out to me is the staff. The reception staff are always eager to go above and beyond to help. I'd like to give a special mention to Zee from the reception team for always being a friendly face when I enter the gym! Overall, I really love this gym and would highly recommend it to anyone. When I try out other gyms while I'm at uni, I'm reminded of how high the standard nuffield has set is.

Fantastic experience: Went on a 3 free day pass to compare the local gyms and see which is best. It’s safe today after day 1 I was ready to sign up. The staff and other gym users are really friendly. The gym equipment is new and well looked after, with a good range. Big shout out to Danny for a hilarious (and informative) tour. I have now signed up and will be looking to get friends to sign up also
Hi Louisa, thank you for this excellent review, we’re really pleased to see the staff delivered some exceptional service here. Best wishes, the Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
Fantastic experience: Been a member for two years, mainly swimming pool. It's sad that they closed the hot tubs due to energy costs, but the atmosphere got much better — very few idle people around, mostly active swimmers and sauna goers. The gym is quite nice, has PTs for a year, really nice staff, everyone is super friendly. I would consider other centres but I cannot replace the swimming teacher here.
Thanks for the positive review Alex. We would like to apologise however for the impact the spa pool closure may have had on your club visits. This is a nationwide initiative and part of a longer-term sustainability initiative. Any savings made from the closure will be reinvested in the club and our local community programmes. In the meantime, thank you again for this review and for your continued patronage of our club. Best wishes, the Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
Fantastic experience: This gym is an amazing place to meet your goals and meet friendly and supportive people. It has a great atmosphere and all staff are helpful and kind! The gym, group classes and pool are my go to places and I am never disappointed. I just wish it was open until later
Thanks for top notch rating and excellent feedback Atif, its very much appreciated. Best wishes, the Nuffield Health Birmingham Central Fitness and Wellbeing Team
