Positive experience: The gym was good but I hope it could be clean more often

Fantastic experience: Its great place and best support from trainers

reddi.jagadeesh Kumar Published on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: Not recommended at all. I went for 3 months but couldn’t go regularly because the air conditioning was really poor and the gym was overcrowded. I even complained to the management, but they didn’t seem to care. Sometimes it felt hard to breathe during heavy exercises like deadlifts or squats — the lack of proper air conditioning made it worse.

The Big Gym

Thanks for your feedback. We’re really sorry about the air conditioning and crowd issues you experienced. We’re adding one more air conditioning unit to make the gym cooler and comfortable.

Please note 7-9pm is our busiest time. If possible ,visiting a bit earlier or later 9pm will give you a better workout experience.

We truly appreciate your sharing your experience it helps us to improve. Hope you’ll visit again soon and feel the difference soon!

Victoria Viray Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: i have been coming to this gym for a while and i was willing to put up with all the cons because it is the only remaining true gym in discovery gardens area. sadly i have decided to not renew my membership due to multiple reasons: - this gym is small, and gets very crowded during peak times. - because the gym is small, it only has room for 1 squat rack. if you are a serious lifter, you will be asked to adjust your lifting routine to give way to other members who also need to use the rack/machines - gym also has no separate facilities for women. there is only 1 toilet and 1 changing room for both genders. the toilet is also not maintained consistently. - because the gym is small, you might get a headache from the stink of fellow gymgoers working out in close proximity. - gym closes mid-day from 1pm to 3pm, so if you like to workout during what otherwise would be slow hours, you can't at this gym. - no free wifi, no drinking water

The Big Gym

Dear Victoria Viray,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your support over the time you've been with us, and we're sorry to hear that you've decided not to renew your membership.

We want to assure you that we do listen to our members, and your concerns have not gone unnoticed. We’ve recently made several improvements based on feedback like yours — including the addition of separate washroom and changing room facilities for women, which are now available for use.

As for peak-time crowding, it’s true that like most gyms, the 7–9 PM window can be quite busy. If your schedule allows, we encourage visiting during off-peak hours for a more comfortable experience — mornings, late evenings, or mid-mornings (outside the 1–3 PM maintenance break) are usually much quieter.

We understand your frustration and appreciate your honesty. Your feedback helps us get better, and we hope you might reconsider in the future.

Warm regards,
THE BIG GYM
Management Team

Fantastic experience: Hello everyone, I enjoyed the gym a week ago with a personal trainer, Mr Apnoop. Well, having tried many other trainers I am very impressed with the professional attitude and dedication Mr Apnoop is as a trainer. He cares about his clients, encourage and fully attentive during an hour session. One week and I feel really good about myself. I am getting the strength and confident that I missed out for long. Definitely I shall continue in this gym and foremost because of him. Thank you Apnoop for your diligence. Highly recommended.
