This is a good community gym to join, lovely, friendly and welcoming staff, and skilled personal trainers who would help you with a plan for any level, great choice of gym equipment and weights as well as outside area. Gym has many different classes for everyone and for every level as well as squash courts. Highly recommended. There is also a bar upstairs where people can meet over a drink 😉

Grateful for the fun and inclusive for all abilities junior squash sessions. Really enjoyed learning to play squash here in my 40s and appreciate this local squash club run by local friendly people who get involved in the community. All our family of 5 have played squash here over the years! Looking beyond the 1970s build is important to appreciate this fab local facility. Thanks to all at Racquets!

I joined Racquets Fitness Club primarily to play squash and ended up using the gym running machines to improve my cardio and joining in on YOGA and Step classes to increase my flexibility. This gym is not flashy but what it lacks in glitz and glamour it makes up for by the bucket load in personality. All of the staff are really friendly and despite not knowing anyone before joining the club, I was soon introduced to other squash players. The squash "join ins" are a favourite of mine, where all abilities play each other. I was only able to attend one of Simons fitness for squash sessions due to time constraints but I will defnitely sign up to them again when I return. I tried 3 types of YOGA during my 5 week membership and did 10 sessions of STEP, all of which certainly improved my general fitness and flexibility. Did you realise Racquets has a Chinese Restaurant and Bar? No I didn't either. A great place to relax, chat and have a drink after a hard game, training session or class. If you'd prefer a coffee there is a self serve machine and seating are on the ground floor.

I love this club! Exercise is definitely not something I look forward to doing ... and gym membership has never lasted long... but i've found a bit of a home here. They have been so encouraging, patient and friendly. And who knew how fun squash is!!! Totally unpretentious place that I enjoy going to, rather than feel obliged to.

Joined Racquets more than 40 years ago to play squash. As age crept up, converted to Racquetball. Great bunch of members and helpful and friendly staff team. Would highly recommend membership to anyone.

Racquets is the friendliest gym you will ever go to. From the moment I started playing women's squash I loved the vibe at the gym. Everyone is welcome and a bit like cheers everyone knows your name. The staff there are always on hand to help you in the gym with the equipment and the range of classes available is really varied. I also have really enjoyed learning squash. I had never played before and now I really enjoy it and have a good understanding of the game.
