Why should you choose Real World Fitness Gym? What makes it the best gym in Nottingham?
- Unlike most other gyms, you won't have to wait around for equipment, or have people waiting for you to finish and putting pressure on you to finish your set quickly. The gym is limited to 100 members, so even at peak times it’s never crowded. During the day there is often only one or two people training. Many of you will have been to other gyms and experienced the long waits for equipment, broken kit, messy gym floors and gym staff that don’t take much interest in you. In all the time I've trained, or trained others at Real World Fintess I've never had any problem using the equipment I've wanted. This is one of the main benefits of the gym, you can always follow your program here and won't have to make adjustments when the gym is busy.
- Real World Fitness is the friendliest gym in Nottingham. The average age of our members is higher compared to other gyms and we don't have groups of people hanging around hogging equipment. We also have a social area where you can hang around after your workout to chat to us or other members, have a drink or use the free WiFi to do some work.

We used to be based on In a warehouse on Little Tennis Street in Nottingham. The new location is a massive upgrade in both the building and the equipment. We have much more, and better equipment now. Anyone who trained at the Little Tennis Street Gym will know how cold it was in Winter and how hot it was in there during the summer. That's not a problem in the new gym as we're no longer in a warehouse and we have aircon. We no longer have the extremes in temperature that we had at the old location.
