Nate Wade
Best gym for the experienced. Very unique utilising the old train tunnel space. So much history, the best athletes in the World have been here. They have great rates, friendly staff, so much variety of equipment and all your supplemental needs like Pre Workouts and Protein Shakes. Highly recommend this gym! (I’ve worked in the Fitness Industry for over 20 years)

The receptionists here are the most inviting and lovely people ever. Especially Chloe makes the best choc smash protein smoothies in the game. Love Dohertys gym, highly recommend.

Something for everyone. Everything you need for bodybuilding, powerlifting, general fitness. Both Old school machines, and newer equipment. Dumbbells are not limited, and weight not a concern even for heavier lifters. Powerlifting section has rogue plates, both the Olympic lifting kind and thinner powerlifting kind. Would definitely come again next time I’m in town.

had a very disappointing experience at this gym when getting a day pass/looking into membership. The staff come across as rude and unwelcoming, particularly one young woman at the front desk with black hair who at first completely ignored me as she was playing on her phone, she was also extremely dismissive, rude and unhelpful. Rather than making members feel comfortable, the attitude feels snobby and unprofessional. On top of that, the gym has terrible airflow and constantly smells bad, which makes working out unpleasant. A gym should be a supportive, positive, and clean environment, but unfortunately this place fails badly in all those areas.

Great old school bodybuilding gym. Cool staff, good prices, great equipment. Also lots of machines and cables that you can't see in the photos.
