Nuffield Health The Oxfordshire Health & Racquets Club

Fantastic experience: awesome gym awesome people

Fantastic experience: Review of the Nuffield beauty suite: I keep meaning to leave a review about the beauty suite! I’ve been coming for a few years now and every time the experience is fantastic. It is by far the best place to get beauty treatments in Oxford, not just in terms of the skill of the team but the actual environment and surroundings which is clean, relaxing, and very quiet. I have had massages, eyebrow shape/tint, nails etc and the quality is always excellent. I would highly recommend. The website for booking can sometimes be temperamental so it is better to ring.

Fantastic experience: Litrally has everything you need in a health centre. Inside and outside pool. Inside and outside tennis the list goes on

Fantastic experience: Great for training, group classes, swimming and relaxing with sauna/steam room.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Fantastic experience: My local gym, and one that i have been going to for the last 5 years. The two pools, steam room, sauna and free parking are really the cherries on the top of a lovely gym, with all the equipment you could ever wish for. Well worth the price, especially if going to gym is a lifestyle choice rather than a chore!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. OK--not cheap, but if you join you'll get so much for your money. Outdoor heated pool, indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, racket courts, excellent gym equipment, hi tech spin studio with colour zone coaching and virtual video options, amazing personal trainers, discounts on physio, lovely beauty salon, healthy food and decent coffee, peaceful terrace area, kids space, clean and calm changing rooms, and above all the best classes I've ever been to, arranged perfectly to suit any schedule. Pure gym and buzz are good and much cheaper alternatives in town, but if you're into group exercise you'll get the best instructors around. People of all ages and levels are members, and I've never once felt awkward like I have with more pretentious places. Overall my membership here has changed my life massively. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Superb club, best facilities in Oxford and wonderful staff who are a credit to the company. The Reception staff are always warm and friendly as well as all staff on site. I am always made to feel welcome and they go out of there way to be of assistance. Sarah has been excellent in her role and has always been quick to help with our St Clares students. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: All nice. I go there every day. Mostly cycling and pool area, no classes or weights. Read T&C carefully and go there for yourself not to be served.

Fantastic experience: I used Virgin Active primarily to take my young son swimming. They have 3 pools - 2 indoor and 1 outdoor. They consist of a wadding pool for under-5s, a full indoor swimming pool and a full outdoor swimming pool. He loves it. The staff are friendly and helpful and having a lifeguard about gives me a better feeling of security. They provide towels, waddles and a floating mat, and sometimes can drag up a few water toys on the weekends. If you are looking for a kid friendly club I recommend Virgin Active. They have a creche (not used yet as he's going through an attachment period), cafe with kid-friendly foods, and a small soft play in the cafe for kids to expend the last of their energy. There is loads of events for older kids. They have clearly posted adult-only areas and times for those not wishing to be visited by sticky fingers, though my only niggle is that the locker rooms aren't designed for strollers - everything else is fine. In comparison to city centre gyms, yes, they are more expensive. But, the price isn't very high and the everyone welcome focus is far more preferred for me as the city centre gyms are primarily focused on students and adults.
