Sugden Sports Centre: Opinions

Michelle Campbell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Only popped along to a boxing class as the instructor at Withington was covering a class. Great facilities here, had a serious case of gym envy! Had a look at the class timetable and joined online as a lot of the daytime classes would fit with breaks at work. Also good to know that as well as offering staff and student discounts, they also offer an alumnus discount too.

Fantastic experience: Staff here are fantastic. Had an issue with someone on our football team losing his phone and they took the time to help out, search for and find it. Management also fab - Jenny has really looked after us before and then through the pandemic and takes time to make sure pitch and equipment is up to scratch while getting our input to make it a good experience/appropriate to our needs. Fab team - highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Joined better gym 7m ago to reverse pre diabetes. Managed to with the help of classes and better gym. Use moss side/sugdens /Whalley Range. Good location, able to seek asylum whilst Aquatics is being refurbished. New update to app can mean members get charged and very difficult to get a tel number that's answered by a human. But I used insta DM and that worked well. Must mention the staff, very happy with the service and welcome I receive. Helpful & friendly. Thank you

Enough room to fit quite a number of people (evenings are usually abit too crowded for me), with 2 studios (I think) and a stretch room.... It also comes with virtual coaching where you select your programme and follow a video in one of the studios......Brilliant Gym

Hannah Clark 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sugden is a brilliant gym. The staff always go above and beyond to sort out any issues and to accommodate customers. Michael, who is often on reception, is courteous, professional and a real credit to the team. The price for membership is more than reasonable and the classes on offer are fantastic. I go as many lunch times as I can and always come out feeling awesome! Thank you so much to everyone at Sugden for all your hard work and keeping us all motivated!

John Farrell 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. It's not huge but I don't find it overly crowded and you can always "work-in" with others. The people here are nice and the staff are good too. It's welcoming to beginners but also if you want to do heavy squats or deadlifts this place is also good. They got a deadlift platform and even some bumper plates and one eleiko bar. The only negative is that the lockers require a token that costs 20p each visit and the locker keeps the token.

John Willoughby 5 years ago

English In Manchester 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We are organising here our football and volleyball social activities every week. Nice place, good facilities and amazing and helpful staff make the best place to host our sports activities.

James O'Shea 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Based on a variety of gyms and fitness classes I've attended over the years, I rate this as a very good gym. I can't comment on relative pricing, because it's the first commercial gym I've ever taken out membership with. However, membership includes free attendance at various classes and I would say if you take advantage of all of the facilities it's very good value. As well as the staff, the members generate a good atmosphere and I have never been unable to use a piece of equipment when I needed to.
