The Fitness Lab

Alright, so you're looking for a decent gym in Birkdale? I reckon The Fitness Lab is worth a shout. It's got a cracking reputation – 5 stars on Google from 50 reviews, which is saying something, isn't it? It's not one of those massive chains, which I personally prefer. Feels a bit more personal, you know?

They're open early doors, 6am most weekdays, which is handy if you're trying to squeeze in a workout before work. They shut up at 8pm so plenty of time after work too. Saturdays they're only open 8-10am, and they're closed on Sundays so bear that in mind if you're a weekend warrior.

I've not been myself, I stick to me walks along the coast, but I've heard good things from a few lads down the pub. Give them a ring on 07764 181780 if you want to know more. That's probably easier than navigating their website, which, let's be honest, could do with a bit of a revamp.

Worth checking their website for class times and prices before you head down.
