Powerhouse Fitness

I go past this place on the bus quite often and always imagine it’s full of roided up meatheads pushing for the burn and chugging protein shakes the size of a bathtub. Not for people who are just trying to get in shape and need some exercise bands.
Completely wrong.
It’s lovely in there. It may not be the biggest place in the world, but it seems to pack in a gyms worth of treadmills and cross trainers, a variety of weights, accessories, tubs of protein powder and all other exercisey type things.
The staff know their stuff too, but aren’t patronising in any way, and din’t seem motivated to make a big sale — but to actually sell the right product for your needs. You can tell they use a lot of the equipment too — You want to be sold fitness stuff by someone who looks like they use it.
The prices seem to be on a par with Argos, but with added customer service and expertise — Powerhouse is the place to come.
