Bowden Gym Collective (formerly NAFC)

I am very proud of being a member of this gym. Ms. Aaron is a legend. Thank you.Would highly recommend this place

They were great untill new managment just over 6-8 months ago. Now it has a weird uncomfortable energy. The owner always sits at the entrance, which is super creepy. They seems to do a deep clean in the middle of the evening rush. So your having to dodge the cleaner and all the cleaning equipment. Fyi' Who seems like a lovely man. And this week the final straw, they have no electricity. I mean it's fine but let us know. I am unsure if I was charged for this wk also. As I go for the cardio to assist my mental wellness and don't really use the equipment. I'm just really deflated by the change on managment. I'm going to have to find a new gym.

It's old industrial shed with no insulation, narrow corridors and it's visibly shaking during the classes. Equipment is old, but still working. Staff is mostly good and friendly, but not over enthusiastic. Very busy and narrow parking.

Great gym, friendly helpful staff, good facilities, variety of group classes. I am a baby boomer but felt very comfortable even in mixed workouts. Highly recommend....

I’ve taken reformer Pilates classes around the country and I can honestly say that Beth is one of my favourite instructors! The way she distills her knowledge about each movement into a simple explanation is refreshing! Her class is definitely worth the early wake up call on Sundays!

Really welcoming gym. If you're looking for somewhere to improve yourself and make use of a well equipped gym then look no further. The atmosphere is really good, the staff are very friendly/helpful and best of all there's no juice filled meat heads. With 24 hour access and a car park it's a fantastic place to go after work or on the weekends. My only issue is that the initial figure I was given for the direct debit changed after the second month and I was being charged more without notice as to why. They also have you sign a contract stating they will charge you an additional two weeks from the day you decide to cancel.

Have been coming to this gym on and off for a while now, (only coz of work schedules - come once a week sometimes a week at a time) and each and every time I am welcomed back and certainly feels like a family. I do the same with other gyms depending where I am in the city and (small and large gyms) and do not feel this way at all!Good work guys, looking forward to all the renos been completed!ps one of the harder boot camps I have had has been here.

Great gym with classes, free crèche and good value for money. All instructors/ personal trainers are great

Decided to try this gym only a few months ago after living in the area for 12 years. Annoyed with myself that it took me so long. Everything about it is excellent. After almost a decade of not attending a gym, it's good to be back, surrounded by good people.

GREAT WEIGHTS GYM! I've returned to lifting in the last 12 months and I absolutely love the equipment, feel and size of this gym. 24 hour access is fantastic to have for those needing flexibility in their lives; and the space is incredible for lifting with multiple racks and DB, BB stations and equipment. Loads of free-weights, pulley & pin equipment is available. Membership includes access to the cardio room & equipment too. The space is large, with high ceilings and a great atmosphere. Great music to chill to or bring your ear-pods / headphones and zone out - there is no judgement! Members are friendly and are there for the right reasons. (i.e. there are no meat heads!) A great gym for beginners or experienced peeps who want to get their strength on! Membership is extremely flexible - you can just use the gym, or get a membership including classes too. Parking is great owing to proximity to on site or street parking.
