Fantastic experience: Fraaie gym in een fabriekspand. Eenmaal binnen is het alsof je in een kelder traint. Erg gaaf! Alles is van metaal gemaakt en een beetje roestig. Dat geeft een mooie sfeer. Goede apparaten en een fraaie bench ruimte. Aardig personeel. Helaas geen airco, maar er hangen enkele blowers. Dagpassen verkrijgbaar voor 10 pond.

Glad you enjoyed the gym Pieter. Thanks for the 5 star review Just like to say that not ALL the kit is a bit rusty. We recently invested in a load of new cardio and leg kit some of the original kit from 14 years ago is still in place and shows the hard work that’s been done on it

Fantastic experience: Great selection of equipment and despite being a popular gym there is always something free pretty quickly. Most people are friendly and the price is very reasonable for the selection on offer. Definitely recommend for anyone into their bodybuilding too. Plenty of knowledge in the gym and from the trainers.

Fantastic experience: Funny to write review while it is closed due to the lockdown, but i can't wait ti go there again. Here is why: This is the only no-bs, bodybuilding gym in Bristol (happy to hear suggestions). Yeah, it is enough for me to choose MOF over the corporate ones. One more; it may doesn't count for many, but what a name! Ministry of Fitness. Says it all!

Glad to be of service Racquel. But sorry to say that a lot of my members also train at Pure Gym so not completely meathead free. Sorry.

Abbey Jarrett 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jam-packed with quality & specialist equipment, Ministry of Fitness is arguably the best gym in Bristol. The staff & regulars give you a warm welcome with every visit and will happily assist with any queries... or even a spot! It's not just about the gym however! There are a vast range of services available on site, such as classes (spin, yoga etc etc), personal training, beauty treatments & a new sports supplement shop! I'd highly recommend popping over for a visit :)

They literally have something for every type of fitness. Tom has just opened up the shop with an array of supplements and potions with some MoF branded clothing too. If your changing gyms or want a one of visit in Bristol, do not miss out MoF!!!

Fantastic experience: I find all staff friendly and approachable. Yes, sometimes it is a little intimidating but every gym can be like that when first walking through the door. I go more for the cardio equipment and get a good workout in every time.

Fantastic experience: I've always been warmly welcomed and have made some good friends. There is plenty of equipment and the staff are happy to explain how to use it. They've also spotted me when ever I've needed it, and they're happy to just stop for a sneaky chat when you should be working out!

Fantastic experience: By far one of the best gyms in the south west. Really good equipymant for a verity of training, staff are all really friendly and knowledgable unlike a lot of the chain health clubs.

Tim “Manatee” M 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before I finished my home gym I trained here regularly on a Saturday (usually morning). Never had a problem getting a squat rack, bench or a place to deadlift. Equipment is great (would normally use the Texas Power Bar), they even have a mono-lift for those that train in certain powerlifting feds. Once I'd finished squatting I'd often go into the new building out-back and swing a kettlebell around a bit. There's some cool stuff out there, including lots of "functional" equipment that looks like a big jungle-gym. Bodybuilding, powerlifting, oly-lifting and strongman all catered for. Great stuff.

Paul 8 years ago

Negative experience: Was told by owner that it's a friendly gym. However there seems to be a 'click' in there which can get intimidating. I personally had an experience where I was bench pressing and could not squeeze out the last rep. The bar fell on my chest and nobody would help. No staff were near by as they are always chatting in the reception area and not keeping an eye on their customers. I suppose it's unsafe really?

Ministry Of Fitness
Ministry Of Fitness

Hi Paul Please can you let me know when you visited. I'm disappointed that this has happened. All my male staff are able to provide a spot for a lift but the member does need to ask them if he feels that assistance is required. If you can email me on [email protected] I'd like to address this issue with the staff. Thank you Tom Director

Matthew Dyer 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: A bit daunting at first as a lot of big guys train here and there's a lot of posing in the mirror going on but believe it or not they don't bite!. It's a great gym if you want to lift weights, some of the equipment doesn't look as flash as at the chains but it still does the same thing and overall the range of weightlifting kit is larger than any of gyms I've previously been to.

Ian Jones 10 years ago

Negative experience: Great gym, nice and spacious with a lot of good equipment. The owner (Tom) is a nice guy, very friendly and chatty... it's a shame about the rest of the staff who are so f**kin miserable and rude and look like they don't even want to be there. It's the only thing that let's this place down. Having trained in gyms all around the world I've never experienced the lack of hospitality these guys give. Certainly not the friendly "welcoming" gym it advertises.... shame
