More Than A Gym - A Community
Welcome Gym is proud to be a community-driven, not-for-profit organisation. Every gym membership helps us reinvest back into our facilities, programmes and local communities.
We believe fitness should be a force for good - helping people feel stronger, healthier and more connected.
Put Your Best Fit Forward

It’s our way of making fitness accessible to those who need it most - and giving back to the communities we serve.
Supporting Women in Fitness

Our ladies-only gym areas and dedicated sessions provide a comfortable space to train with confidence.

Mirella, Sutton
I've had severe issues with my mental health & this place has helped me so much with overcoming them & feeling better about myself. The manager Lois in particular has always made me feel welcome.
Jamel, Sutton
After being at my last gym for over 20 years, I was really nervous about trying somewhere new... but by the end of my first session at Welcome, I felt like I been there years! Kirsty and her team at Welcome Gym are just so so lovely.
Julie, Southend
The gym also has a great community spirit and is full of people of all ages and walks of life, who also support and encourage each other. It really is a great gym.
Jenna, Southend
Great gym with very friendly staff, Mitch helped me tremendously with my deadlift form, felt like a very professional paid experience where I learnt more than I would have practising alone for months.
Joseph, Maidstone
One of the nicest, cleanest sanctuaries you could find yourself at. Friendly, helpful staff and plenty of activities and more importantly space to work out and a warm pool.
Elaine, Maidstone
The staff are also friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help. Best gym in the local area.
