James Ross Healthcare

Now, I have actually already given recommendation for James Ross Healthcare as a gym but feel my recent experience of the physiotherapy there deserves a special mention.
I suffered from a knee injury related to marathon training and despite my reluctance to have to pay for physiotherapy I really had to bite the bullet and pay a visit to James. For sports related injury I think it’s really worth going to someone based in a gym, they know about running so can advise from both sides.
After a initial assessment he found the problem and I have had a few follow up treatment sessions — they are expensive (£40 for the assessment and £35 thereafter) but he seems very good at what he’s doing and it’s the sort of thing — if you need it then you need it.
I would highly recommend.

At the back of temple meads, right under the train track, James Ross Healthcare is an excellent little gym. Initially started as a physiotherapy centre, they expanded to offer gym services. The space isn’t huge, so there’s only one of each Cardiovascular trainers, and as such is more geared towards circuits and weight training than the treadmill machines. Having said that, it never gets busy, so the times I’ve been I’ve never not been able to get on the equipment I needed.
There’s a real sense of personal service though, which is its main selling feature. For £35 a month, they’ll give you a 15 minute assessment, and give you a programme designed to help you towards whatever goal you’re trying to reach. There’s always a personal trainer around, and they really care to take the time to have a chat and make sure everything is going well each time you come in.
They also offer martial arts and yoga, so it’s a well rounded gym off the beaten track — well worth the effort.
