Kids swim here for lessonsThe lessons are amazing and I can't recommend them more.Sadly the showers are horrendous literally stay on for 10 seconds and washing hair is not fun.

Illegal work practices, getting staff to work until 11pm then come in at 5.30am. Also they don't care if staff are threatened by nasty members of the public who are allowed to continue their membership. Very understaffed and badly organised.

Good clean gym. Plenty of machines to use. Swimming pool is a bonus as is the sauna and steam room.

DONT JOIN THE GYM !! I am an influencer with over 350k followers and was asked by my followers to review the gym as people have had problems with them. So I joined the gym and it was an easy process as expected. The first day I was there 3 equipments was broken and no staff upstairs to make sure everyone was OK or if anyone needed help as most if not all gyms have staff within shouting distance. Not this gym. If you needed staff you would have to run downstairs and through a door to get a member of staff. NOT ACCEPTABLE. The second time I went there with a open mind thinking it was just a fluke the first time......nope ...... no staff again and even more equipment was broken and some of the equipment you had to use pads to boost yourself up because the seats were broken. I have cancelled my membership and have no plans to go there again. AVOID AT ALL COST. Would be better to pay an extra £5 and go to pure gym. Plus pure gym is 24hours and when a machine brakes it is replaced or repaired with 48hours.

Had to wait for a machine and another one was out of order. Otherwise was clean and tidy.

The staff are pleasant and the gym is clean. The swimming pool and sauna/steamroom are nice touches. The gym itself is pretty much useless for many people.There is 1 of each machine and many are broken. There is 1 set of each dumbells and it is difficult to be able to get to use the one correct for you. It is very difficult to get on any machine even at low peak times, and when you do, you will have members in extremely unsafe proximity to you (shoulder to shoulder most times). Mind your toes.The space is poorly designed, machines are compacted together, some in eaves. You will very likely bang your head at some point. There is some kind of race track section that takes a huge amount of space, and there is a punchbag section that when in use echos around the whole gym. There are way more treadmills than required. Maybe it is poorly air-conditioned, but it gets extremely hot in there.In the changing rooms, you have teenagers taking selfies in the mirror irrespective of people being naked in the background.I don't really get this gym. Who is their target market? To me, it seems very unfunctional and awkward. If you're there for classes, sauna, and swimming, it's probably great, but the gym itself is just like a large garage gym that's half broken.

Love Everlast Gym. Love, love, love, love it for so many reasons. Some of which are for the fact that they have a full size swimming pool, a steam room and a sauna all included in their £20 monthly subscription. Friendly members of staff always welcome you in. I highly recommend Everlast Gym Colchester. You will be as happy as I am since I joined. You will be glad you did join.

there's a machine that's non functional since more than 3 months and no one seems to bothered to get it fix it.Gym is not 24 hours.

The facilities are adequate and very good value for a group that now meets 3 mornings a week to talk and hopefully exercise at the same time! All the staff are excellent and ALWAYS make you feel at home. We will discuss any subject and as mostly retired we have a long experience of income tax, coffee making, telephones, sport, banking and insurance but not necesairily DIY!A gym is many things to many people and we try to help members do their own thing, conversation is not compulsory but helpful in the heat of the sauna, steam room, or the pain when trying to complete targets!The long awaited refurbishment will hopefully make the LAFitness/Sports Direct/Everlast gym a super gym for super staff and super members.

Great gym overall and great staff who are always friendly and welcoming. The only downsides are that it does get very busy at peak times and the car park is small.

Half of the pool is always reserved for swimming lessonsDuring family swimming period, other members are not nice to us as an ethic minority as they often find excuses to tell you off like " you are not supposed to swim on this side", or "why do you swim to me?" (Obviously, they thought it was a standing pool and not for swimming. Huh!) Interestingly, local white kids seem to get away from all mischief in the pool and I never saw them being told off.I may blame unclear instructions f this gym or local white British being racist and intolerant, you choose it.It is not a nice gym to go anyway

Just can't come to terms with the obviously different treatment to people of different skin colour. Some members here are absolutely racists.

I go just for the treadmill and pool mainly. Facilities are ok. The changing rooms/showers don't seem to have changed in years (since before it was Everlast) but it's acceptable.
