In July 2026, JASON MEEK said about The Gym Group Bolton
Having trained in gyms for almost 28 years across the UK and abroad, I feel able to give a fair review.
The gym itself is excellent. It was clean, welcoming and had a good atmosphere. The equipment is slightly dated in places but perfectly functional, and there is enough variety for a great workout. I would also like to praise the staff member who welcomed me. They were courteous, professional and made joining a very positive experience.
Unfortunately, the biggest issue is the location, which is outside The Gym Group's control.
The shared car park with Lidl was one of the most unsettling I have experienced. There appeared to be people openly under the influence of drugs, and it took me around 20 minutes to find somewhere I felt comfortable leaving my car. I eventually parked where I could see it from a treadmill because I was genuinely concerned about its safety.
During my workout I also witnessed what appeared to be shoplifting activity around Lidl, and most surprisingly, someone who appeared to be openly soliciting for prostitution in the shared car park. It was surreal and not something anyone expects to encounter when visiting a gym.
This was at lunchtime on a Saturday, which made me wonder what the area is like after dark. Personally, I would not feel comfortable with female family members or friends using this location at night.
These issues are not the fault of The Gym Group, and I want to make that clear. However, they are likely to affect people's willingness to visit. I hope The Gym Group can work with Lidl, the site owners and the local police to improve security and safety because the gym itself des

Overall, pretty nice place to stay. The hotel is a lovely building with very nice surroundings and a distant view of Rivington Pike. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The room we stayed in had everything we needed but was just a little dated. Plenty of space in the room - double bed, 2 seater sofa, desk area and spacious bathroom, but could just do with updating and air conditioning adding. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. Plenty of choice for both breakfast and evening meals.

It says it's a three star hotel, and the evidence supports it is a good one.
Checking-in was quick, friendly and efficient. The room was clean and well equipped. Breakfast had a good range to choose from, with some really nice croissants.
For the price we paid this covered all bases and was good value for the money.
