Newton Abbot Leisure Centre

Although this gym isn’t perfect, it is the best option I’ve found in the area. If you’ve been to many gyms in the UK, you know it’s hard to find anything decent. This place has some free weights (rare), good cardio equipment, a pool, and fitness classes.
During your first visit you do have to do an induction (£10) to make sure you are fit to workout and understand how to use a gym. After that it’s £6 per visit. As long as you go at least 1/​year you don’t have to redo the induction.
The great part about this place is also it’s downfall. Because it’s the best gym in the area, it’s obnoxiously crowded at peak times. It’s often difficult to get into the small free weight area.
I use this place about 5x/​year over the course of 3 – 4 visits to the area. If you’re a gym rat, this is your best option.

Lovely facilities and nice staff. Everywhere is regularly cleaned. Nice sized swimming pool and sports hall.
