Fitness First Solihull

There is something about this gym that makes you want to keep coming back. I was a member here on a free month pass with o2 priorities. I got the fitness bug straight away. The personal trainers are 100% great and helpful. The gym consists of two floors — Ground floor has your typical cardio equipment (treadmills, rowers, cross trainers, bikes etc). Further down is a weights room — full of lads spending more time posing in the mirror than actually lifting weights. There is a boxing section for sparring — highly recommended! The changing rooms lead to the showers and sauna, steam and aromatherapy rooms. The sauna is quite small. The second floor has more equipment and a dance studio where all the classes are housed. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would like to join again in the new year (to detox). I took part in bootcamp and bodypump classes which were intense and great fun. One instructor in particular — Tom, gave you the world of motivation, confidence and was very good at his job. I had a personal training session which was phenomenal. I took part in the the ‘Fit Brit 2012′ competition held at this gym. The staff are friendly. they can be quite pushy to get you to join. There is free tea and coffee and a seating area. I love this gym and many people i met in this gym have been members for years.
Although no swimming pool, I recommend you check it out.
Prices — £24.95 joining fee.
£31.95 a month if you join for 12 months (you get 2 months free if you join for a year)
£37.95 a month if you join for 6 months
£43.95 if you join for 1 month
Benefits of joining for a year — they may waver the joining fee and throw in some personal training session.

Decent place but always packed out! No swimming pool either.
They are aggressive in making sure you sign up with them.
