Mike Munds Fitness is at Church Square Mews in Bodmin, Cornwall. It holds a 4.6 rating from 27 Google reviews. The record stopped in September 2019.
There's a recovery story here that's worth reading, and one thing about it you should notice first.
The Review, And The Surname
A member in September 2019: "After suffering a heart attack, then a stroke whereby I lost the use of my left leg, I have visited 3 days a week for over two years under the close personal supervision of Mike Munds and I am now back to normal. Friendly atmosphere with ample equipment."
Two years, three days a week, supervised recovery from a heart attack and a stroke, back to normal.
That's the most substantial claim on this page by some distance. And the reviewer's surname is Munds, the same as the owner's.
I'm not drawing a conclusion from that. Bodmin is a small town, Munds is a family name, and a relative recovering from a stroke under his own family's supervision is entirely plausible and would still be true. But you'd want to notice it before you weighed the review, so I'm telling you.
What I'd say is this: the specifics are what make it credible or not, and they're specific. Two years. Three days a week. A left leg. Those aren't the details of an invented review.
Parking Is A Problem, And The Owner Fixed It
A visitor in June 2017: "Visited here whilst on holiday in Cornwall. Wonderful friendly staff and clientele. Very down to earth and gritty gym just how I like it. Mike was very friendly and helpful. My only criticism was difficulty parking. Not helped by roadworks at the time, but Mike was very helpful and got me a spot."
Parking is difficult. The roadworks were temporary; Church Square Mews isn't going to grow a car park.
But read the second half. He complained about parking and the owner personally sorted him out. That's a small thing that tells you a lot about how the place is run.
"Down to earth and gritty" is his description, and he means it as praise. Nobody here mentions a pool, a sauna or classes.
Everyone Names Mike
A member in September 2018: "The owner is an incredibly helpful gentleman who goes above and beyond to be on hand with advice, professionalism and motivation. If you are looking for a gym in Cornwall then look no further, even if you need to travel."
A member in August 2017: "Wonderful people, great layout, superb price. Really feel welcome and are helped every step of the way."
Superb price, with no figure. Great layout, with no description.
Four of the five reviews mention Mike by name. This is his gym, and the record rests on him being in it. Nothing here is newer than September 2019, which is nearly seven years.
What's Missing
No opening hours on the listing. No phone number. No prices.

Who It's Not For
Anyone who drives and hates a parking hunt, going by the visitor who needed the owner's help to find a space.
Anyone wanting classes, a pool or a spa. Nobody mentions any.
