The name tells you exactly what this is, which is rarer than it should be: Elite Camborne Tanning, Gym & Beauty Treatments is a gym, a tanning salon, and a beauty and barber operation sharing one building on Commercial Street. Warwick Addison's review confirms the combination directly: "A friendly gym, tanning and treatments facility and a great barbers too."
It shows 4.6 from 29 reviews, and while that's a solid score, only five of those reviews carry any text - the average is mostly resting on ratings nobody explained. All five with text are five stars, so at least the writers agree with each other, but a small written sample this uniform is a pattern worth trusting a little, not a lot.
Eight Years, One Sentence
The most substantial review here comes from someone with real tenure. That Chick Reby, October 2020: "Been coming here for the past 8 years and its amazing.. the staff are so welcoming and lovely.. hands down the best gym in the area." Eight years of showing up is a stronger endorsement than a five-star rating on its own, since it's a decision repeated hundreds of times rather than made once at the front desk.
Who It's Actually Serving
One line is notable because it names an audience rather than praising in the abstract. Spencer Wimbleton, December 2019: "Great atmosphere for the not so young." I read that as a compliment about pace and pressure, not a knock on the equipment - a gym that markets itself alongside tanning and beauty treatments is signaling a broader, more relaxed clientele than a competition-lifting box, and this reviewer is telling you that's exactly what he found.
Warwick Addison's full review backs that up: "Not the least bit intimidating, for beginners and seasoned gymners alike." Tan Hannon, January 2019, describes staff who are "always there if you need any help/assistance," in a place he calls "nice" and "quiet." Nobody here is describing a hardcore training environment, and nobody seems to want one.
The Value Claim Nobody Backs Up
Cre8or 126, June 2019, writes: "Exceptional service. Friendly atmosphere and very good value for money." That's the kind of line I'd flag on its own - "good value" said without a number attached tells you the reviewer left happy, not what anything actually costs. None of the five written reviews mentions a membership price, a tanning session price, or a treatment price, so treat "value for money" as a feeling, not a figure you can budget against.
What's Missing
No prices anywhere in the record, for the gym, the tanning, the treatments, or the barbers. No review mentions specific equipment, so if you're chasing a particular machine or a serious strength setup, there's nothing here to confirm it. The newest written review is from October 2020; nothing more recent has surfaced since.
Who It's Not For
Anyone after a hardcore, equipment-heavy training floor - every account here describes something calmer. Anyone who needs a price before they'll call, since none of the five reviewers give one.
