Maxlife Gym

Three words to describe my Max Life experience this morning. Wow wow wow. Helped me set up my day perfectly. The guy James was also more than welcoming this morning and helped answer any of questions. Max life I will be back 👊

Gym is OK, not too crowded and great variety of machines. ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING is done, ever. Plus, certain machines have been broken for months and not fixed. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming to this gym. Changing room is absolutely disgusting and there's dust and garbage all over the gym. See the photos...

I used to be a member in the gym afew years back was a good spot, unfortunately I cannot say the same anymore, cleanliness of this gym is well below par, changing rooms and showers are like walking into an episode of the last of us, no water fountain in the gym? Is water not a basic human need? Only 4 treadmills, 2 are nearly allways broken, several machines are broken and when they are broken... They stay broken. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this gym anymore. I have raised these concerns with the staff and to no avail. Canceled my membership

08/07/26 update: Honestly I’m dropping this to 1 star. The owner doesn’t want to acknowledge feedback as signs asking the young fellas in the gym to stop hanging around the changing rooms and removing their tops on the gym floor have been removed Also given the current heatwave you’d think he’d fix the air conditioning downstairs, clearly not. It’s also known there are large fans ready to be installed within the gym itself but they’re obviously better sitting in the same box they have been for years. I’m at a loss for words Original review: Honestly, I enjoy being a member of max life. The community the gym fosters is much better than that of its competitors nearby and the equipment rivals even motivated finesses' selection at time However MaxLife has been on a decline as of the last number of months. The gym has become overrun, and I don't use that lightly, with 16 year olds, if they even are 16, who hog the men's locker room. As a grown man I do not want nor need teenagers shouting, playing loud music and vaping when im trying to get changed it is not only intimidating but embarrassing. The locker rooms for getting togged out, its not a creche. The staff have been proactive in kicking these groups out but it does not stop there. These groups hog machines, shadow box, take off their tops constantly when members are keeping to themselves and working out. Fair enough some are actually there to workout but others just show up to film themselves for TikTok or whatever. You will often find them crowding already tight areas of the gym and or sitting on other machines they are not using, if there not doing that they’re jumping on a machine to mess around with. Aside from this the gym is in dire need of extra treadmills and an overall refurbishment for the cardio machines, all the spinning bikes upstairs are missing the seat adjustment handle. I understand the owner has been proactive in this regard as the gym had a good overhaul last year with a new lick of paint and reupholstering machines and benches, which was greatly appreciated. I do hope the owner continues this as there's a good few machines that could be removed to make space on the floor in general but also for better machines. On the topic of machines the cables downstairs are quite poor and could really do with a decent amount of WD40 or just an overhaul in general. While this review has been mostly negative I struggle to leave due to the community, apart from the young lads, as all the members and staff I have interacted with are welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. The owner himself is, as I have mentioned proactive when it comes to making changes and quite fast to implement them once underway. The equipment there that I haven't mentioned is quite good in general e.g dumbbells, benches, plates (few extra 1.25s would be great). Overall I do hope the owner sorts out the last few bits and pieces of the overhaul going on in the last few months as these areas need to be addressed quite urgently.

I’m only giving 1 star because I can’t give 0 Max Life Gym is, without exaggeration, the worst gym experience I’ve ever had. It’s a disgrace that this place is still operating, let alone charging 50€ a month for what feels like a health hazard in disguise. Let’s start with the hygiene, or complete lack of it. The gym is filthy. No one wipes down machines, the staff never clean, and the floor is literally falling apart. Dust, sweat, and grime are your workout companions there. I’ve never once seen anyone mop, sweep, or even use a Hoover on that gym. You’re more likely to catch something here than burn calories. There is no ventilation whatsoever. No windows. No airflow. The doors are never left open, and the heat is unbearable. Doing cardio here feels like trying to survive a sauna in a straight jacket, I’ve come close to fainting more than once. This environment is not just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous. As for the equipment, most of it is broken or hanging by a thread. Cables are literally exposed, tearing skin if you’re not careful. Machines are patched with duct tape or ignored entirely. Once something breaks, it stays broken. Some machines are missing padding, others have torn foam. It’s like working out in an abandoned warehouse. The layout is laughable. Important leg machines are upstairs, so if you’re training legs, enjoy hauling yourself up and down stairs mid-set. Forget about supersets or drop sets, the gym is not built with any logic or convenience for actual training. Staff? They just sit at reception, staring at their phones not even a hi. Don’t expect assistance, guidance, or even basic concern for safety. Nobody checks on machines or patrons. If you’re injured by faulty equipment, that’s on you. And the location? Remote and inconvenient. If you rely on public transport, brace yourself for a long walk, possibly in the rain, to get to a place that doesn’t deserve a single drop of your effort. The only reason I joined was because of the parking. That’s it. But even free parking can’t justify throwing €50 a month at this disaster. This gym wouldn’t be worth €30. Avoid this place at all costs. You’re better off training at home or in the street than stepping foot into this neglected, overpriced dump. Max Life Gym is an insult to the concept of fitness. Update: The only incorrect detail was the price of the membership that I mixed up from the place that I am going next which is 69€ a month, I’ve already updated the review, except the price, all is correct that is the only thing you can complain about. You should give a full refund to all the members not only for me, because it’s atrocious that gym and the pigsty that you make the members to train around. No refund was given, gym will never change as the management is bad and lacking.
