Fantastic experience: Dom conducts the Aqua classes at NCIE and he is amazing. He provides us challenging exercise, whilst ensuring people with all levels of fitness are catered for. The other members of the team are always welcoming, but it is Dom that really makes the aquatic classes at NCIE spectacular.

Fantastic experience: NCIE is amazing! Lunchtime strength class with Dean, Logan and Eden is a real highlight. They are so supportive and encouraging in the class and great motivators to get you through your reps and increase your weights. All the staff are friendly and the space has a great community vibe. Heated pool is also a great feature.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a long time visitor of NCIE and can’t recommend it enough! After a long stretch of not being able to visit I was welcomed in by one of the newer employees Craig. He helped me get upto speed and back into my fitness and even helped me retrieve one of my lost items I had left previously by holding it at the desk for me. Always greets me with a smile whenever I enter and makes a GREAT protein smoothie :))

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the NCIE fitness centre, facility and team more highly. A great facility, excellent classes and great community. From the staff to the trainers through to the various and many community initiatives they run. Excellent on every level. A place with real heart and soul.. which will keep you fit too once you get involved!

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and amazing amenities! Only one drawback is that pool is partly opened so it's little bit colder once you get out of the pool. Water has over 30°C so perfect for swimming with babies.

Fantastic experience: Seriously can't fault NCIE! Excellent value for the price, includes use of the pool and group classes. Group classes themselves are awesome and the best bit is that this place is friendly, welcoming and completely unpretentious! If I move out of the area I'll definitely travel just to use this gym :)

Dub Luvver 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facilities including; heated covered pool, two gym rooms, a studio for yoga etc, spin room three outdoor training areas (monkey bars - love them!), and an indoor stadium. Staff & trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. If you want a gym where you show off & stare at yourself in the mirror this is not for you. If you want a gym where you will meet good folk while sweating and laughing this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Basketball court and field is also very nice. If you're looking for solely a gym, it is a bit pricey. Definitely worth it if you use the other facilities though.
