Nuffield Health, Fitness & Wellbeing Centre

A top-class if busy centre

For the biggest city in the South West, there arent many gyms or fitness centres in the centre of Bristol. The Nuffield Health, Fitness & Wellbeing Centre therefore has the immediate advantage of being one of the few within easy commute to most workers on their way to or from the office, with it being situated at the top of Park Street, on the south side of the Triangle. With a rather eye-wateringly high membership price of £50 per month, you would expect something above your average local leisure centre gym, and if you can afford it then you wont be disappointed. The gym and fitness centre itself comes highly recommended by a number of national fitness publications, and has a stunning indoor heated pool and impressively equipped fitness centre. Best of all though the staff are fully trained health and fitness specialists, who give you regular health MOTs essentially, your hard-earned cash gets you what is pretty much a shared personal trainer. With with Sky Sports, its a great post-work hangout as well, but thats where the real downside comes in. Because its so good, its pretty popular, and at rush hour youll probably find that there arent enough lockers or treadmills to go round. However, this shouldnt detract from what is a real first-class health and fitness centre, and well worth the money should you have it.
