What Our Members Say

I have been a member of the Sports Centre for 8½ years, and it has become such an important part of my life. The staff are incredibly friendly, supportive, encouraging and always willing to help. The members are just as welcoming, and I have made some lovely new friendships along the way. There is a great variety of classes to suit all abilities, and I usually attend two classes, 4–5 times a week. I particularly enjoy doing two classes back-to-back, as they complement each other really well. The instructors are fantastic—they encourage you whatever your fitness level and make the classes great fun. The Sports Centre offers excellent membership rates, especially if you pay annually, and there is also the option to have a programme designed around your individual goals. Personally, I prefer the classes, as I love the social side and the encouragement from both the instructors and other members. It really is a place where you can come, have fun, challenge yourself and feel part of a friendly community.

I’ve been a member of Uffculme gym for a number of years now and refer to it as my gym family. I mainly go to classes as I enjoy the camaraderie. Everyone is always friendly and you encourage each other.

The classes offer great flexibility with a range of cardio and weighted options. The instructors are always engaging, enthusiastic and encouraging. I look forward to each session I attend.

I’d definitely call myself a “binge member” of Uffculme Sport & Fitness Centre! Life often gets in the way, so I will sign up for a few weeks, fall off the wagon when things get busy, and then return when things quieten down.

The best part about this centre is the lack of judgement. When I return after a break, it’s like I’ve never been away. The instructors are very friendly and supportive, and encourage you to go at your own pace, while encouraging you to push just a little bit harder at the same time. It is the perfect, pressure-free environment for anyone juggling a busy lifestyle!

Uffculme Sport and Fitness must be one of the most welcoming and friendly sports centres around.

I do not use the gym very often but prefer the wide range of classes that are offered from spin to weights, core , Pilates, and even in the darker months disco spin! The lovely trainers are always there to help, give advice, and encourage you to work at your own pace and level. Routines are also regularly changed to help keep us on our toes.

Taryn, Kim and Ottilie as well as all the youngsters who help out on reception definitely make the centre feel like one big happy family.

Never too old start…

I joined the Gym last year at the age of 61 having never seriously thought I might actually enjoy doing that sort of thing.

Like any man in their 60’s I suffered from a range of aches, pains and generally feeling a bit rubbish which I grudgingly accepted as my lot in life as I aged.

 Then I met Taryn the Centre Manager and she convinced me through some gentle persuasion and a bit of pushing that I could achieve more than I thought was possible in terms of overall well being with just some effort and a dedicated exercise plan tailored to what I could do and not what I couldn’t do.

 Seven months on I’ve lost 7 inches around my chest and waist and I’m back to enjoying challenging walks on Dartmoor, Scuba Diving and buying clothes that I feel good in for my new wardrobe

I would absolutely suggest to anyone that it’s never to late to start a healthier approach to life and to get in touch with Uffclume Gym to make an appointment to meet Taryn. I guarantee she’ll help you along the path to feeling better about yourself and to getting much more out of life.

I really enjoy coming to Uffculme Sport & Fitness! The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, and Taryn and Kim are brilliant instructors. There’s a great variety of classes, which keeps everything fun and interesting. I always feel comfortable, supported and motivated!

I’ve been a member of the gym for many years - too many to remember, but certainly well over 12!

I predominantly attend the varied classes, although I occasionally make use of the gym facilities too. It offers excellent value for money, and all the fitness instructors I’ve encountered over the years have been friendly, approachable and incredibly helpful.

For me, the gym’s greatest strength is its warm and welcoming community atmosphere. People of all ages and abilities are made to feel comfortable and included. I usually attend classes on my own, but over the years I’ve built close friendships with other members, which is a testament to the friendly environment.

Taryn and her team are to be highly commended for all their hard work and dedication in creating such a positive and welcoming gym community.

Uffculme Sport & Fitness is the place to go if you are serious about maintaining and improving your health and fitness levels in a friendly and relaxed environment. The centre has a well equipped gym with plenty of space and offers a variety of classes throughout the week. The trainers and reception staff are knowledgable and approachable and I thoroughly recommend it after many years of membership.

This gym is absolutely fantastic. I've been going there for three years, and it's where I started my journey to fitness. The trainers are incredibly friendly and always ready to help whenever you need them. The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere is brilliant and motivating. Highly recommended!
