What people say about us
-
"Excellent gym with facilities for all - even more mature users! The staff are very friendly and caring. Even noticing when we miss our normal sessions (no escape)!! We don’t use all the equipment available and are quite content to do what we feel we are able. I would recommend going along as they have loads of different apparatus- some frankly rather scary!! Classes are regularly available for all with different ones being added from time to time Prices are good and fair."

"I have been very impressed with the Tregorrick Leisure Centre. I like it because it's not part of a chain. For a start, there's always a warm, friendly welcome upon arrival. The facilities and equipment available are very good. I mainly attend fitness classes such as HIIT, Airbike, Circuits and Kettlebells. All of these classes have improved my fitness level considerably. All of the instructors are very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful."
