Watergate Studios

Fantastic experience: I have been enjoying the small group classes and coaching at Watergate Studios - personal training & fitness classes for the last 6 months and it's just perfect. The training area is superb with fab kit! I get so much more out of the classes than I would from going to "just a gym". With the addition of the workout area which is new for this year, I can do extra after or before a class if I have the time and feel I need to. The coaches are fabulous and both the team and members are friendly, inspirational and motivational. A very special thanks to Greg and all of the team.

Fantastic experience: I’ve spent YEARS worrying about numbers on scales, running hundreds of miles and still feeling like I’m not good enough. It’s been tough (made harder as everything I did was on my own). I came to Watergate initially on the 8 week Summer Shred programme and got stuck right in, this was made really easy with the support and friendliness received from the amazeballs Coaches and my lovely 1:1s with Danni A! I was apprehensive about looking weak and not being able to keep up to begin with, but the Classes surprised me from the start with how fast paced but brilliant they are - and the smiles and support / encouragement you get from everyone else within the gym is fab. Despite being in a Class environment you still get 1:1 mentoring if your form or technique isn’t quite right, and the little pushes of encouragement to lift heavier … because you can and the Coaches see it so give you the little boost you need to give it a go! I have literally seen my body change shape and become more toned in just 8 weeks, and I feel so much stronger! Not just with what I can lift but in my mindset too … I’m kinder to myself as appreciate what I can do more. And I’ve stopped caring about numbers on scales because I can see the changes I’m making and the progress pics speak for themselves. Yes I have lost lots of pounds (which is all I focused on before) … but now I’m so much more motivated by the inches and body fat losses - and the clothes I now feel confident to wear. So Watergate has not only helped me work towards a Summer body I’m now proud of, but it’s made me feel excited to keep going and see what else I can do! And the difference in how I feel about myself is the main thing I’m grateful for, I’m no longer feeling blugh …. I feel great because I’m working hard but it’s worth it!! I have a home gym which I no longer like to use. Because it just isn’t the same - I love the Classes, Team ethic, Coach support, changes in programmes (just to make sure we are always making progress) and overall environment from WG. I absolutely recommend joining, and if you give yourself a hard time like I did then I’d encourage you to start with a programme where you get that additional 1:1 mentoring as the support and encouragement I’ve had from my weekly check ins with Danni A have been brilliant - completely changed my mindset in such a positive way. So a huge thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome, I’m now a full member and just wish I’d joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: I started Watergate studios about a year ago. I had gained a lot of weight during the covid lockdowns, and my goal was to get into a routine with fitness to make me feel stronger, fitter and lighter. A year later, I lost 30lb and feel fantastic; I got more energy, better focus, and clothes fit again! All the coaches are excellent and very approachable. If you can't do an exercise, they'll adopt the workout for you. I learned so much about technique and gym equipment, and every coach brings something unique. Honestly, if I were going to a generic gym, I would walk past the weight bench's weight rack or anything like that, but now I've gained confidence and found it fun to use! There is always a very positive atmosphere at Watergate studio, and all the members are very welcoming and chatty.

Fantastic experience: I was feeling extremely anxious at the thought of joining a gym, all I could think about was big, butch men lifting huge weights looking at an over weight, unfit, middle aged female with disgust. How wrong was I? What I was faced with was a lovely greeting, fantastic explantions, goals that are within reach and massive amounts of encouragement from all of the coaches. There is always a wonderful atmosphere and all the classes are small, fun and progressive. I love going and have tried all of the classes to find the ones that suit me. I highly reccommend Watergate to anyone who is up for a laugh and wanting to improve fitness.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend the experience at Watergate studios enough. Everyone is so friendly, coaches and other members are always encouraging you through your session to get you doing your best yet. The workouts are tailored to you if you need them to be. Always feel like I’ve worked hard, the coaches are always on hand either in person or via social media for advice as well which is so handy. Lovely set up with great little perks and added extras…Greg has made a great community.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town, exceptional trainers and amazing members. Nothing better than looking forward to going to a gym where you feel like part of the family.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Watergate since February and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s such a friendly environment and the coaches are so encouraging. I learn something new every session and my confidence is improving all the time. Something has just ‘clicked’ for me at Watergate and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Anyone in the area wanting to get fit this is the place to be! I’ve been to many gyms over the years, in various areas I’ve lived in (herts, derby, London) & by far this gym is A*** the coaches are all fantastic, small sessions so you always get coached. Everyone is so nice & friendly you feel at ease & have fun! Its like a little gym family which I’ve never experienced before. Never before have I received such fantastic technique training from a gym, one thing I’ve really mastered here. Great variation of classes, I love the mix of sweat, strength & the new blast which keeps my body guessing & pushing my fitness. Just when you think you’ve reached your best the sessions change & challenge you again. I’m the strongest & fittest I’ve ever been after 2 children & at almost 40

Positive experience: I am very new to the Watergate Studio in Bridgwater and was very anxious about joining, however after my telephone chat with one of the lovely team members I felt encouraged to give it a try I have only attended two sessions so far but I have been made to feel very welcome by both staff & other users. There is definitely a lovely, friendly atmosphere at the Studio along with great support & encouragement from all The class times, class sizes, changing/shower rooms are great too Really glad I made the decision to join

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Watergate for over 3 years, and still get coached in every session as i did in the first. The attention to my fitness is still there. Personal and professional every visit. With that said, it’s always fun, everyone supports each other. We not only lift weights, we l lift spirits… Come join us!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Watergate Studios for just over a year and I couldn’t be happier! My commitment to training has improved immensely and that is down to the welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable staff who always have time for some training advice or a friendly word. The members are all pretty special too, everyone is so friendly and we all encourage each other to be our best. I have made some lovey new friends and I feel as though I have found my ‘Forever’ gym. I can’t wait to see what the next year brings!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym with the most amazing coaches I have seen so many good Results from other people and my self and that’s from this amazing 5 ⭐️ gym xx

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Place. Lovely team. Always giving support and encouragement as well as teaching. Everyone is so friendly and happy to help. I stuggled with getting back to excercise after lockdown and everyone has been supportive.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place. So much positivity and great coaches.

Fantastic experience: It’s approaching a year since I joined watergate gym. I joined with low self esteem and no knowledge of strength training. The coaches that I have worked with have been absolutely amazing, I have learnt so much from them, and they have helped me not only lose weight and get fit, but also given me more confidence in myself. I now have a new way of life, and watergate will be a part of that moving forward.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I have really struggled with my health so exercise has been a low priority and definitely a struggle. But Watergate helped me turn that around, I can attend the classes when I am able using the app which is quick and easy and when I go everyone is so friendly. You do your own thing and your own pace, the instructors are there to encourage you to push harder but don’t force it and get to know you individually.

Fantastic experience: Watergate is the ONLY gym that I have ever actually looked forward to going to and stuck at for more than 3 months! The atmosphere is so friendly and buzzing, every member is so supportive of each other. The coaches are just the best thing about Watergate, they all know their stuff inside out and are so passionate about each and every member’s fitness journey, however small their goal might be. Anyone can set up a gym, but Watergate have created something so positively special I honestly couldn’t go anywhere else now!

Fantastic experience: Where to start!!! For as long as I can remember I was completely put off going to any kind of gym as it made me feel very anxious and self conscious but, after my husband started Watergate studios he convinced me this place is the place that will get me past my anxiety and actually make me want to go to the gym and be round people ! Turns out it was The best Decision I've made... The team there are one in million making you feel so comfortable and part of the group from the start!! They push you to get the best out of all your work outs and if your unsure on anything they are right there helping you giving you the best advice. It's just a positive uplifting place to go !!! I'm now hooked and love going!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many gyms, trying to find the right one that fits my needs. Pleased to say Watergate gym hits the mark in many ways. Their ethos is constantly followed. The coaching and knowledge is on point all the time. Nothing is to much trouble for them, ask a question or need help with anything, or a bit of one too one, the place and staff can’t be beaten.

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my journey at Watergate over the last 3 years and seeing both my performance and techniques improve massively. Overcoming a back injury was very hard but everyone at Watergate was so helpful, knowledgeable and always adapted the exercises to meet my abilities, which I am truly grateful for. The continued support from the instructors and attending both the sweat and strength sessions have helped me to reach some personal goals and completing my two half marathons. I am really looking forward to the next step of my fitness journey and continuing at Watergate. Highly recomended

Fantastic experience: Amazing sessions that are regularly changed about and coached by the most friendly and fantastic team. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Watergate since it opened almost 4 years ago. I've trained consistently during this time apart from when suffering from injuries. The coaches are all great, knowledgeable and encouraging, even in full classes they give time to each person to ensure they have correct form and are getting the most from each exercise and will adapt if necessary. The atmosphere is great and not at all intimidating. If you're contemplating joining a gym but apprehensive, this is the place to try!

Fantastic experience: Love the family feel to this gym! ❤ Everyone helps everyone else. So much support from coaches and other members keeps me going!

Fantastic experience: Watergate has kept me the most consistent with my exercise than any other gym. The small group workouts are encouraging and I’m tracking my progress for the first time ever. I used to feel intimidated by weights but the classes and instructors have completely diminished this and I look forward to mixing up the classes. Amazing gym with wonderful people. Couldn’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of many 'gyms' over the years but this 1 is the 1 that has made me consistent & I'm so glad of it! The sessions are coached by fab instructors, who motivate you & keep you going, even on the days you may not feel it. Thanks Greg & all the Watergate team.

Fantastic experience: Watergate doesn't just deliver great results for fitness it is a total well being package for body and mind. We all support each other, members and staff alike with, with ups and downs and I love to see members reach their goals. The encouragement from everyone makes you want to achieve and I know I would not have achieved what I have without commiting and being helped along the way. Great place with excellent standards and care for its members ❤

Fantastic experience: So much more than ‘just a gym’ It’s a fantastic community with so much support and advice from fitness to equipment to nutrition. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The most amazing committed team with unique programmes to deliver results!!! What an amazing studio that supports nutrition, technique and progress, most certainly the 1st choice in Bridgwater. Well done, just love it and all you do!!!!

Fantastic experience: First visit top facilties with top staff

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Place full of pain in the best way I could imagine. Coaches crew are professional and helpful. I have attendent just few sessions and I am barely able to move after them. In my opinion it is defilnetly worth giving them chance to show what they have in offer.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Such a great facility, got everything you need from functional fitness, weight training, to studio with spin, HiT and yoga. Everyone is really friendly, the trainers are supportive and always give good advice on technique. Plus the thoughtful touches like the free toiletries just make it a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: Training with Greg, Dean and the team at Watergate Studios is great - I never thought I would enjoy getting out of bed in the morning to go to the gym! I do the classes and thoroughly enjoy them, I have felt myself getting stronger and feel better over the past year. They push you to do your best, and also take into account any issues you might have. Love it here, thanks Greg & team!

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly, and team work environment. Great workout planning. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Not went inside but outside only, clean and tidy visually.

Fantastic experience: I joined Watergate when lockdown measures started to lift. Since joining I have used the Sweat and Strength classes which are tailored sessions which implement progressive overload and have given me the push that I needed. Greg and the team have been super helpful with not just running sessions but nutritional advice, help with technique and even a friendly chat when wanted. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have tried a variety of gyms and different training styles over the years, but this hands down beats everything! The atmosphere, the coaches, fellow gym goers it is amazing! I love it, you see the results and progress when you give it your all and the support, guidance and help of everyone only enhances it!

Fantastic experience: First time joining a gym and it's fab. Warm welcome since the start with loads of support and guidance, and always time for questions. A great range of sessions, something for everyone and every aim be it supported target hitting (like their 6 week shred) or just a better structured programme or simply a technically better workout technique. The new set up is really smart and well thought out too, and the team are welcoming, friendly and really knowledgeable. More importantly, they're passionate about what they do and about supporting all their members. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Don't be afraid to take thoses first steps in joining a fitness class. It's always scary being the new person in the class but I am so glad I have just completed my first session at Watergate Studios. To have an instructor that knows their stuff, to correct form and motivate you is so important. Loved it!...thanks Greg Blenkinsop ✋

Fantastic experience: I joined up a few months ago and can’t recommend the fitness classes enough. The instruction, routine structure and professionalism are outstanding. A great space, great quality equipment and lovely people. They seem to get it just right - perfectly balanced motivation from Greg and the team. Add into that - I’m getting fit, loosing weight and having fun - what’s not to love! I’ve done lots of gyms and classes over the years but this is up at very top of my list! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I love it here! Everyone is super friendly and classes are small so you get plenty of help whether you’re new or to make progress. Best place I’ve been too!

Fantastic experience: Greg at Watergate Studio's is the only person to actually encourage and guide me into achieving the goals I wanted. I feel I am finally seeing the results after two months of Personal Training and three weeks of FIT8. I would highly recommend Greg as a Personal Trainer. He, Carli and Tom are also superb instructors when it comes to classes such as FIT8, GRIT Strength and GRIT Cardio. The gym is well set out and uses the finest quality equipment. Whatever your fitness level you will not feel out of place at the Watergate Studios.

Fantastic experience: Review from Helen Wales. Greg is a great fitness trainer, friendly, pleasant and very helpful. Works with you to your ability and pushes you to meet your full potential. Would fully recommend him and his studio. I have lost 2 and half stone and really pleased

Fantastic experience: The most I have ever enjoyed fitness. Great facilities, class sizes, and friendly atmosphere with fellow class goers! The instructors are brilliant, work you hard and help you get your technique right. I can't recommend enough!
