City Gym, located in the heart of Shirley town centre, is a small, friendly, independently owned gym which has been voted the best private specialist gym in Southampton. Recently under new management, the gym has benefited from a great number of improvements; and will continue to do so. The staff are fully qualified, experienced and concerned about the health, fitness and motivation of its members and can offer personalised exercise and nutritional programmes. The facilities are clean and modern, providing a large selection of cardiovascular, resistance and free-weight training options, entertainment via large plasma screen displays, relaxing post-gym sauna’ing and sofa dwelling, somewhere clean to shower and change and ample free parking. But, most importantly – and unique to City Gym – the atmosphere provides a relaxing, un-intimidating, friendly place to workout.
So, if you wish to become fitter, healthier, slimmer or stronger, or just enjoy yourself and feel better in the process, join us at City Gym, where you’ll get the best value for money gym experience in Southampton.
