Our story

Premium gym.
Basic price.

BasicGym started with one idea. A big, clean, properly equipped gym that feels premium, priced so anyone can walk in and train. No frills you will never use, no contract on the monthly plans, just everything you actually need.

Where it started

It began in
Long Eaton.

There was a gap. The big chains were fine if you could afford them. The small independents were fine if you knew the owner. In between there was nothing that felt good to train in without paying a premium for a pool and a spa you would never touch.

So we built it. A large, open, spotless gym with proper equipment, long hours and real people on the floor, priced so it is an easy yes. Members noticed. The gym filled on word of mouth alone, before a single advert ran.

What we stand for

Simple on purpose.

Everything we leave out is deliberate. It is what keeps the price low and the gym good.

No frills, no waste

No pool, no spa, no gimmicks. The money goes into the equipment and the space you actually train with.

Real service

Staff who say hello. Trainers who will show you how to use anything, free. You are a member, not a number.

No egos

All shapes, all levels, all welcome. Beginners train next to regulars and nobody is watching.

Everything you need

Free weights, machines, cardio, functional space and 120 classes a week. Nine zones under one roof.

Spotless, every day

Kit wiped and reset daily. A clean gym you are glad to walk into, not one you tolerate.

Open when you are

24 hours a day on the Plus and Monthly plans, fitting around work and everything in between.

Earned, not advertised

The members did
the talking.

No campaign built Long Eaton. People trained, liked it, and told someone. That is the whole strategy, and the rating shows it.

A clean, well-equipped gym with friendly staff and no pressure, at a price that makes it easy to keep coming back. That is what members tell us, and each other.
