Dave’s Gym

I enjoy working out here! Been going for over a year now. The staff is friendly and helpful.
It’s a small gym, basic equipment, nothing too fancy, yet you can get a great workout with what’s available.
What I really love about it though is that it’s real. If you have been going to gyms you know what I’m talking about when I say that!

I do feel a bit of a fraud reviewing this gym as I’m not really a gym goer. But I nearly was, and this was because they were just so friendly and helpful. But I didn’t join. I just bought bigger trousers!
Now this is a proper gym type gym. You can tell from the big bicepped logo that this isn’t a gym with a jacuzzi and a smoothy bar. In fact, the chap behind the counter did warn me that there weren’t many women that went. My ears did prick up at that point, but I soon calmed down. Anyway, even though I wasn’t sure they were happy to give me a tour and talk me through a plan and all the classes.
It seems a pretty busy place, with a standard gym set up (weights and machines and cardio thingies) downstairs and then various spaces upstairs including a large dojo for Muay Thai.
They do some great student offers though, and it was only laziness and not because I felt uncomfortable as a woman that prevented me from joining. If you are in the Roath area it would be good to check out. You can pay per session and they have all the yoga and legs, bums & tums and all that.
I really, really nearly went!
