Fitness centre

The PT sessions offered at S3 have become an integral part of my training forming a strong base and complementing my running training. The expertise of Ben & Ella will guide you through the classes to ensure you get the most from the session for all levels of fitness. There are no egos at this gym and the small classes mean close supervision from Ben & Ella to make sure you’re doing the exercises correctly and adaptions made where necessary.

I visited the Ilkley Tournament and wasn't disappointed. Great facilities, food and drink was fab and the Tennis was Ace....

Great gym, friendly and uplifting atmosphere. My brother goes here all the time and knows the owner - whenever I’m back in the Lakes it’s always a pleasure going

Was really nervous joining this group on my own - but so glad I eventually plucked up the courage! Everyone made me feel so welcome - we all have different fitness levels but encourage each other to do the best they can and push their own limits!Yes it’s hard work but we also laugh and have fun!I feel so much better in myself!

My first impression was… bad, I came to ask the receptionist for membership and she had no idea of anything. Ok, I manage to join the gym through the website… when I started I felt the lack of machines, but I manage by myself, using the mats on the floor (they got only 4 of them). People in the gym are very nonsense, they choose a mat and they will be there for 1 hour, sometimes the training takes 20 min but they just leave their stuff there and no one can use it, some of them use 2 at the same time, sometimes I had to Sit down and wait or even leave without the chance to use them. Seems like there is no staff working there, when I asked the receptionist If one of the staff could give me some tips for exercises she said no, That people working there are private hired personal trainers and they don’t work for the gym, but I could ask someone who was working out (???). Personal trainers take so much space, you feel stuck or get yourself jumping onto them to walk throughout the gym. I wanted to cancel my membership and surprise, you have to give one month notice to stop the next transactions, so I literally paid 45 days without using it.

This place is amazing! I am not a gym person but really needed to be doing some sort of exercise, a friend recommended Leah at Farm Fitness and I have to say it has really exceeded my expectations.Leah herself is a brilliant coach. Always positive, supportive and kind. The exercises can be adapted to any level and are enjoyable and dynamic.The farm itself has lovely surroundings and classes run rain or shine. Geoff the resident dog is also an added bonus! As well as the option to bring your own dog along.Highly recommend.

I've been doing Slim's classes for a few years with great success as Ive strengthened my core and improved my overall flexibility. Slim always tailors the class to suit your ability with a good range of challenges. I always leave the class feeling good . It's an all over benefit for mind and body and well being

Fantastic gym! I used Solway Fitness for a year whilst working in Dumfries and could not have been happier with it. I used the weights room and training area most and the equipment is in excellent condition and well maintained (2 big racks and lots of free weights for a smaller gym is great). Ross and Cathy are very welcoming and helpful and Ross offers great personal training sessions and advice and support whenever its needed. The gym is only a couple of minutes outside Dumfries and easy to access via car or bicycle and isn't too busy even at peak times.

I was a nervous beginner. I was totally put at ease, the trainers are amazing and it has inspired me to commit to start my journey and try to improve my fitness - after a long lockdown.

Booked a massage and scrub for my daughters 18th birthday… the worst customer service we have EVER experienced. DO NOT COME HERE. The lady’s hands were so crusty I thought that the oil massage was the scrub. The room was freezing cold and to top it off the 1hr session was so rushed the lady finished everything in 40 minutes. We were both cheated of at least 10 minutes of our 1hr session. But I’m glad it was over quicker because what was supposed to be relaxing was actually making me feel sick.I mention customer service because even though we booked weeks in advance, when we turned up we were told a half of our appointments had to be canceled because of a shortage of staff. We have been told to book the other half of the treatments another day… even though we booked the treatments specifically for my daughters birthday. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
