Fantastic experience: What can I say about this place, actually lots. I swim 5 miles a week, with my flippers, goggles swim hat the lot. The pool is amazing. The steam room so relaxing and hot. The gym is spacious with all the latest equipment. The staff friendly helpful and Go the extra mile. Always greeted with smile and informal always “hi Lisa”. All the staff I like and get on with especially Jon and Kate. Only improvement I would ask for would be Jacuzzi to finish off pool area. This place keeps me sane ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym and 1st class facilities and very clean

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a big thanks to Clarke for keeping me motivated during the FORCE class. He was a brilliant instructor and very enthusiastic throughout the class!

Fantastic experience: I re joined Fitness First in Bedford in January after a four year break from working out while I had my children. The standards of the pool / gym and classes have remained at a high level, and I try and swim at least 3 times a week. The pool is always a good temperature and never too crowded. I’ve found getting back into old classes like body combat and attack enjoyable and love my weekly Zumba class with Clare which is a new one for me. I am massively impressed with the staff onsite, they are all very friendly and helpful, especially Jon and Lauren who always greet you with a swim on reception or around the gym floor. Highly recommend joining. Justine

Fantastic experience: Amazing service from the lovely clarke. Super friendly. First class was amazing and i felt confident enough to join.

Fantastic experience: Been at This gym for 8 years. For sure the best gym in bedford. Lovely friendly staff especially CLARKE ! You the best

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in Bedford. Steam room, sauna and pool. Serious fitness, no posing people clogging up the machines with endless selfies of their non-existant reps! Great variety of classes included in membership.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes, awesome instructors . Everyone is so nice and helpful

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff always on reception. Classes are fun and I've felt very welcome since I joined! Pool, sauna and steam room are fab!

Fantastic experience: Every time I visit, someone is on desk to greet and welcome you in. It’s a genuine welcome to. You can tell the staff enjoy the job they are doing. They are always smiling, Engaging and ready to help. This is a well run gym, facilities are always impeccable. If anything I’d say that the pool area would benefit from some investment to make it a more premium experience but the staff maintain what they have. Overall top notch gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Only been going for while but a great gym. The staff are all very approachable lovely people. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Very impressive fitness centre. Always clean and staff very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff. Equipment good and functional, from barbell free weights/dumbbells, machines, cardio and pool/sauna. Cleanliness of top quality too.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for many years and I absolutely love training at this facility. The staff strive to make every member feel like they are part of the Fitness First family. Every morning when I walk through the door there is a member of staff to greet you with a smile. Budget gyms have lost the true meaning of what it means to be a member of a club and it’s benefits. It’s vital to enjoy the atmosphere of where you train and this is what keeps me coming back year after year.

Fantastic experience: Great pool, equipment and classes .. Friendly staff . Overall a great gym

Fantastic experience: At first I was a bit nervous about joining a new gym however the staff made it very welcoming. All staff members are very friendly and approachable, and all ready to help when needs be. I find all the facilities really good for the monthly price and lots of fun classes to join in with too! Highly recommend☺️

Fantastic experience: Love this place, always clean, plenty of equipment and the staff are all so friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get started on their healthcare journey or those who are more experienced.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, all the staff are so supportive, especially Clarke and Kate. 100% advice and friendliness. Banging sauna and pool and all around great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I re-joined this branch when I was home for a month, I’m now at a tier 2 gym in London but nothing beats the friendly staff here. Excellent pool / sauna area and enough room to do your own workout ( as apposes do my tiny London tier 2). Brendan was particularly great, hosting fun classes and just being a reliable friendly face around the gym. Great value, welcoming gym and almost half what I pay in London now!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fitness First Bedford for many years. All of the Staff are very friendly and polite and always make you feel welcome, especially the long serving Jon and Lucy who have always gone above and beyond to help. Since covid, the cleaning has increased by staff and wipes are provided around the gym so that individuals are able to clean the equipment before and after use, although unfortunately not all members seem to do this. Overall, it is a great gym with great staff and I would definately recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with friendly and helpful staff who always greet and welcome you in. The equipment and ammenities are well maintained and there is always a great atmosphere every time I workout. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to join.

Fantastic experience: It's one of the best gyms in Bedford with swimming, sauna and steam rooms. Well maintained and courteous staff

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good facilities, clean changing rooms, easy parking. Plus, come and join our Kendo class every Saturday.... Great way to get and keep fit!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with wide range of equipment. Pool with sauna and steam room comes with the membership so great value for the money.

Fantastic experience: A great gym, covid safe, with all of us keeping the equipment clean. The staff are amazing, really friendly, helpful and approachable. The folk that attend the gym are pretty cool too, all levels of fitness are there and (I think) are made to feel welcome and are encouraged to work hard. I do love going.

Positive experience: I've been a member here for around 3 months, so far decent impressions, usual gym fare however there is a pool, hence why I choose this one. In general, clean and tidy. No major issues but please, seriously consider updating the cardio machines...most are rickety (although they work fine) but are worn and tired. Changing rooms (male anyway) are decent sized with showers, plenty of lockers and free hair dryers. Staff are pleasant enough, some say bye on the way out, some don't. All In all, a decent gym but a few points worthy of addressing.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality great gym ! slightly more on memberships than local gyms but you get get what you pay for ! defiantly recommend! most of the complaints seem to be from people who just can't afford it

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous and anxious on my first and second visit, they made me feel very comfortable, I would recommend fitness first to anyone. Great time, very happy environment.

Fantastic experience: Gym is clean and people are very friendly, there is a swimming pool with sauna and steam room and plenty of classes to enjoy everyday. Can also bring people in to use gym and swimming pool for free on Fridays. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been with this gym for over 2 years. So relaxed and calm atmosphere. Staff and paying members are polite and are people with good attitudes. Gym facilities are there to suit my needs. Steam and sauna is a healer after pain. Overall good natured people, cleanliness, steam and sauna makes me want to go all the time.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, with very friendly and helpful staff. Equipment and ammenities are well maintained and there is always a good atmosphere here. Money wise a bit extra than the other gyms but still worth it . Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fitness first first of all let's start with the amazing equipment they have from running to weight lifting, spin class to massage treatment and to top it up with steam and sauna including a brilliant swimming pool. Amazing team at Bedford and personal trainers. People are friendly and will always help you and assist you, and for thouse who like a more adventurous work out why not going one of the classes that on every day. Definitely recommend to everyone with all types of fitness level Alex P

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff in a friendly environment. I love the swimming pool and the sauna. I like this gym, it is close to my house and they've always been nice to me, even got a discount when I had a busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym with a great vibe, wide range of equipment, clean well maintained and changing rooms well equiped as well with hairdryers. Staff always available and ready to answer queries or assist with equipment. Large range of PT’s, classes and group sessions, there’s a great one currently run by PT Joe. Would definitely recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: Great gym, worth paying a little more for as it has everything and isn't too crowded even at peak time unlike the saturated budget gyms. Lots of variety of things to do, can easily spend hours there and bring a friend for free on Fridays is great! Gorgeous relaxing pool too

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for a couple of years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Everyone from the managers to the trainers to the cleaners are all so friendly and welcoming. I like to do my own thing usually but the classes and pts are always busy. It's a gym where you can feel comfortable doing your own thing but at the same time ask anyone if you need some help. Would highly recommend. Oh and it has a pool so win win!

Fantastic experience: Great all round gym, excellent choice of classes, lovely swimming pool and sauna. The changing rooms are always clean and there is always staff on hand to help with anything. The best gym I've been part of for a long time!

Fantastic experience: I joined in September the facilities are amazing to use. There are always plenty of machines to use, so there's no waiting around the entire complex is always outstandingly clean. You are paying for what you get which is a great gym freindly staff.

Fantastic experience: Love the gym and PTs. So many classes, one is really spoilt for choice. I had recently worked with Joseph and loved him. Receptionist are also very helpful and friendly. It's also a great place to meet other likeminded people. Best gym in Bedford by far!!

Fantastic experience: Love going to the gym all the staff are very friendly and helpful especially Becky, nick and Jon they always go above and beyond to help you out. There are lots of classes to choose from and you can always find something different to do. There are always lots of personal trainers to give advice and I can personally recommend Joesph.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Fitness First on and off since it opened....But since returning several months ago, I have to say the changes to the club and what it offers are FANTASTIC !!! All the instructors and staff are friendly, supportive, encouraging, and helpfull. The atmosphere is buzzing... Because off this I have managed to get my fitness back after a short illness...I love hitting the gym every single time, and if I'm not sure what I want to train, I just do the 09.30 freestyle/boot camp classes..SIMPLES ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Fantastic experience: We have been going to Fitness First for 19 months, since the closure of LA Fitness at Manton Heights. Always like the buzz of the place with friendly and helpful staff. We think the off-peak membership is very reasonable compared to the new Towers club.

Fantastic experience: This combines the friendliness of a small, private gym with the advantages of a large chain really well. Standard of cleanliness is so much better than other gyms I've been to, things are well maintained and have been upgraded several times since I joined. I don't really use the gym as I love the group exercise classes so much but there is always a buzz. The instructors are all fab and make the classes fun. For me, this is the best club in Bedford.

Fantastic experience: Recently returned back to fitness first. So much better than it used to be. helpful staff. Great Personal trainers. Receptionists are welcoming and helpful. Can personally recommend PT Jo. Classes are great. I never thought I would be able to do some of the things I'm now doing. So if you used to go all I can say is come back and give it a go. You will be very surprised.
