Pirate Fitness C.I.O is Witney’s only independent, not-for-profit gym. As a registered charity, we don’t operate to make a profit, meaning any money generated goes straight back into the gym on new equipment and refurbishments. Based near the centre of Witney, we have a spacious, well-equipped, air conditioned gym plus two modern studios used for classes and plenty of free parking.

We all know the importance of exercise for us, both physically and mentally. This is why our tagline is ‘more than just a gym’ - as we provide a fun, not-too-serious environment with the option to take part in socials and get more from the club than you usually would.

Pop down to Pirates if you would like to have a look around and have a chat with one of the team. Alternatively, if you know you want to start straight away, you can sign up online from home and come in to train without any fuss.

I would highly recommend Pirate Fitness to anyone looking for a friendly gym offering a variety of fitness classes. The class studio is great and I particularly love the Les Mills classes on offer including Body Pump, Body Attack, CX Works. I think the monthly membership is great value for money and all the staff and instructors are friendly, helpful and experienced. During the lockdowns, Pirate Fitness have provided lots of live classes and “on demand” classes via the membership app which has been great.

I joined Pirates gym in 2014 and I'm glad I did as for me personally it's a gym that has the " warts and all" , meaning it has everything you want and need in a gym. It's got a good free weights area an eclectic mix of machines and other workout equipment , pretty much something for everyone. It's a good wholesome, decent friendly gym that caters for every person, no matter what you want to do and what you want to achieve it covers everything. I would also say it's a character gym in that it is in an older building so has an industrial look which also gives it a good feeling. All the staff are friendly and professional and by all accounts are managed brilliantly. For me on a personal note it's been a life saver, helped me through my mental illness because of the easy-going friendly nature of people/staff who go there as well as the fitness side giving me a lift talking with people / staff as well. If you want to join a decent, friendly, professional gym/team I would seriously come and have a look for yourself you won't be disappointed.

I’m a huge fan of Pirate Fitness, the classes and instructors are excellent! Being a member for over 20 years the gym has always been innovative and current; offering professional and motivating classes with warm and friendly staff. I would never go anywhere else. Thanks for always being the best at what you do.

I’ve been training for a couple of decades and what I like about Pirate Fitness is that it has a excellent 'old school ' Free Weight section. This is coupled with some of the latest isolation machines for Pecs, biceps, legs, shoulders and back ... which gives you a comprehensive, full, body workout and combined with the great staff that are experienced and willing to assist in a spot or two and give great advice when needed, you really can't find better.

Easy-going atmosphere with friendly advice... HOWEVER don’t be fooled, these guys can Kick some A... in all of their super cool classes they offer. They are brilliant, modern and diverse! A super cool gym with ALL the gear to everyone’s taste and levels.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Pirates for over 25years!! So I think that speaks volumes. If your looking for a club that offers great fun classes by enthusiastic instructors, regular programme updates, good gym equipment and friendly approachable staff then Pirates is the place. They offer a variety of memberships to suit everyone. The gym and studio are large enough so you will won’t be turned away as it’s too busy and they have ample parking. Thank you Pirates for giving me a place to escape for over 25years xx

Fantastic experience: I've been a member on and off for the past 2 years and have to agree with all of the reviews here, specifically about the staff - they are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I'm not a member at the moment but may have to go back - if they'll have me! There is simply no other gym in Witney that offers the same as Pirate. OK, so it's not a whizzy sparkly gym with all of the fancy shmancy high tec stuff but it doesn't pretend to be - it has more of a relaxed 'homely' and welcoming feeling unlike the corporate type gyms and health clubs. There are other options to chose from in Witney but a) they're twice the price, b) you're locked into a minimum of a one year contract and c) you're just treated like a number. At Pirate, you are welcomed by the staff with a 'hello ...your name, how are you?', just so much nicer and they genuinely want to help you meet your goals. There are two especially lovely people there but I won't mention names - not fair on them or others as everyone is lovely, I just only know these two names, my bad!! The only negative is some of the male gym users can be a little inconsiderate just dumping weights in the middle of the gym floor and generally making a din - but perhaps that's just me being a crabby old bag!!! If you haven't visited yet, I'd highly recommend you do - it's right in the heart of the town and there is plenty of parking.
