Destination Gym — Local services in Stoke-on-Trent

As an outsider who only visited the gym for a few hours, I was impressed by the impressive range of facilities offered by Destination Gym. The gym provides a comprehensive range of options that cater to every aspect of health and fitness. The environment is clean, tidy, and balanced with state-of-the-art equipment, providing a welcoming and comfortable space for all members.

One of the key standout features of the gym is the high-caliber trainers and coaches who work here, including world-class athletes. The strength coach is particularly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, offering valuable advice and guidance to members looking to improve their fitness levels.

Another impressive feature of Destination Gym is the on-site cafe that provides nutritional food options for gym-goers. The meals offered are specifically aimed at those looking for a healthy, well-balanced diet that supports their fitness goals. This is a refreshing change from the typical fast food options found in many gyms.

The changing rooms at Destination Gym are a cut above any other gym I have ever visited before. They are spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities that a gym member could need. This attention to detail shows the commitment of the gym to provide the best possible experience for its members.

After visiting Destination Gym, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the limited facilities available at my regular gym. The range of services offered by Destination Gym sets a high standard for other gyms to follow.

In summary, Destination Gym is an outstanding health club that provides world-class facilities, knowledgeable trainers, and a welcoming and supportive environment for all its members. It is undoubtedly one of the best gyms in Stoke-on-Trent and the wider region, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality...

Addressing the recent one star review of Destination Gym.

I am a member and wife of the so called “aggressive” individual this person is referring to. I’d like to share the truth and let those reading know that Destination Gym is in fact the safest gym in Stoke-on-Trent, with the most fantastic and conscientious staff.

He failed to note the reason he was confronted. He saw us leave the gym (myself being heavily pregnant) and aggressively pursued us on the A34, in an act of road rage that nearly caused us to crash twice. He was angry that we were adhering to the 30mph speed limit.

As a protective father to be and as any man would, my husband approached him about the incident on the road. He replied in a sarcastic and rude manner, deciding to taunt my husband in the gym. He then had the audacity to play the victim. Of course the gym will side with logic, rationale and the safety of their members whether they are inside or outside of the premises. It seems his “anxiety” is causing a few issues with him recollecting the truth, but nowadays people do love to play the mental health card rather than admit they are the problem.

Brett is the most fantastic, attentive, kind gym owner you could ask for along with his amazing team of staff. It saddens me that people may read these lies and think negatively of such a wonderful gym. I am a woman in my late 20s and feel incredibly safe here. Why should my husband be removed from a gym for simply protecting his family? Common sense prevailed...

I used to genuinely enjoy training at Destination Gym and even recommended it to many of my clients across Staffordshire. I believed it was a supportive space—until I became the target of repeated harassment and threats from another member, both in the gym and after a session on the road.

I did what any reasonable person would do: I reported it directly to the owner. I provided full details—specific dates, times, a full description, and even a potential witness. I was initially told an investigation would take place, but after that… silence. No updates. No follow-through. Nothing.

I’d spent months working with PTs at Destination Gym to overcome anxiety and build confidence in the gym space. That confidence was destroyed in two encounters with someone who clearly felt emboldened to intimidate and bully me. And in the end, it was me who had to leave—not the person causing harm.

This gym claims to be a place where members feel safe and supported, but when it mattered most, that support was nowhere to be found. I had to cancel my membership and join another gym just to feel safe walking through the door.

Destination Gym needs to take a serious look at how it handles the safety and wellbeing of its members—because right now, it’s failing the people who need that...
