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 gym, best in East Bristol by a long distance, and maybe the whole of Bristol too. Good range of equipment both the weights and machines. Friendly staff, good vibe overall and never too crowded.

Hi Aaron. Thank you so much for the positive review :)
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!
Thank you. We can’t wait to be open again

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, independent gym with friendly staff and atmosphere. Don't be fooled by the tough look, whilst this is a gym for serious bodybuilders it's very non-intimidating and I see people of all shapes and sizes - you will never be discriminated against here!

Fantastic experience: Simply put, this is the BEST gym in Bristol. You have dumbbells up to 150kg, all the weights you'll ever need, and you will find that everyone there is any the friendliest person you'll meet. Really cheap membership, and it's one place you'll be proud to call your second home. Get your backside down here to the glorious house of gains, and LIFT!!!
Fantastic experience: Astounding quality and choice of equipment. Always clean and professionally run with staff and owner who actually care about members progress and support.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with approachable and knowledgeable staff
Fantastic experience: Well run gym by knowledgeable staff and a fantastic range of equipment. A must for anyone who is serious and looking for results.
Negative experience: The gym is brilliant as it keeps all the meatheads in one place leaving all the other gyms meathead free.
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.
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 :)
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in the south west let alone Bristol. Great range of equipment, dedicated and friendly owners who only want to improve the place and a friendly but very focused membership.
Fantastic experience: Probably the best equipped gym I've been to. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The gym does get busy but I never seem to have to wait for anything. 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: The best gym ever!!! Me and my boyfriend was looking for place like this a really long time. Great equipment Great staff members and really helpful owner Tom. Thank you for wonderful 6 months!! We are definitely going to buy another 6 months membership!!
Fantastic experience: Just joined the ministry gym this week, such a great range of equipment and even at peak times nothing has been too crowded at all and brilliant functional area. Very friendly and helpful staff as well. Can't wait to get fit again!
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. Tom has built a fantastic gym here amd one you simply have to try if ever you are in the area.
Fantastic experience: Top Gym, loads of equipment for weight training, boxing, cardio and power lifting. The staff and members are always friendly and helpful be it a spot on a set or advice on training and nutrition.
Fantastic experience: Great staff Great gym Great atmosphere Can train full on whilst still being able to have a laugh with everyone
Fantastic experience: Superb atmosphere whether you want to train for fitness or muscle. Good staff and very welcoming.
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.
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in Bristol full of seriously motivated members!
Fantastic experience: Been using this gym for a while now and all in all very good with a wide range of equipment/classes and training areas to suit pretty much anyone. Staff are helpful and always seems like a friendly atmosphere when there. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to join a gym.
Fantastic experience: Always drop in to the Ministry whenever i am passing with work, a great gym with excellent equipment... the atmosphere is excellent no Ego's and full of members who are friendly and always happy to help (spotting ) the staff always welcome me with a small, the owner has a wealth of knowledge and welcomes everyone into his gym with a smile...... great gym.....
Fantastic experience: Really good gym, great equipment, staff are friendly and there are plenty of experienced people training in the gym to offer a spot or advice.
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?
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
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.
Thanks Matthew. Glad you liked the gym
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
Hi Ian which day did you come in? That's a suprise to hear. Thanks Tom You can reply privately to me on [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Nice place and very gooooood
