“Great Showroom Service, Great Range of Products, Great...”

★★★★☆

written by Sime46 on 17/01/2012

After finding the Fitness Superstore website offered the most competitive Rower prices I could find on the net, along with the largest choice, I decided to go to my nearest showroom (Gloucester) to try them out. The showroom experience was great! The staff were friendly and not at all pushy, leaving me to get on with trying around 10 different rowers back to back (the ideal way to get a feel for the differences between all the various types available). The sales people took the time to answer my questions and seemed genuinely keen to help me select the machine most suited to my requirements, and that I would be happy with my choice. For anyone interested, I ended up going for the Proteus PAR-5500 Air/Magnetic Rower even though my original intention was to buy a water rower. The main deciding factors for me were, the more extensive and integrated range of resistance, along with a feature rich computer/monitor, sturdy build quality, 3 year standard warranty and great value for money offered by the Proteus (at £549). Purchase was straightforward (no hard sell to take out extended warranty, buy added extras etc.), and the machine was delivered well within the time frame specified. Unfortunately there was a slight hitch in that one of the essential parts was missing from the box (the seat!) which was disappointing, and it took a further few days for a replacement to be sent from the warehouse. Though again, the showroom sales staff proved very helpful in trying to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible. Overall I had a very good experience shopping with Fitness Superstore and I would be more than happy to use them again and recommend them to family and friends.

“powertec Level”

★★★★☆

written by on 15/01/2012

The staff were very helpful and may the whole experence very easy. Delivery was a bit slow but it was christmas time. The equipment is brillant very good quality and a good price, great insruction to build it, the paint job is a very high standard, not keen on the colour, but the fact it a solid build piece of kit makes up for it.

Thanks to all concerned. Although out of stock initially, the rowing machine arrived this afternoon even before the date you previously indicated and exactly as anticipated by your and XDP's e-mails. Much appreciate the prompt and efficient service. It didn't take long to put together and seems to do exactly what it says on the tin! Now I just have to use it!!

★★★★☆

written by on 28/10/2010

A couple of weeks ago I visited the London shop as I was interested in purchasing a smiths machine. I spoke to a young gentlemen, I think his name was Alex, who helped me find the best option, I originally looked at Bodysold piece of equipment and was allowed to try it out as they had it in their shop. They didn't have stock of it in the shop so I ordered it for delivery, it turned up about a week later by 2 delivery men who put it in my garage. Installing it was pretty simple, however I recommend getting help from another person if you are not a very "hands on" person like myself. All in all a good machine and good shop, would recommend visiting the store to try stuff out.

“The only problem I had with this order was the paper...”

★★★★☆

written by VictoriaHenderson on 20/04/2010

The only problem I had with this order was the paper work not getting to me via post, on the 3rd attempt they sent it recorded delivery. I honestly had no other problems, they delivered on time, no hidden costs. I did find myself having to phone them initially to chase for my paperwork, then after to check on my order - but this was purely because of some negative feedback I read elsewhere. I was concerned I had been ripped off so wanted to hear (a lot!) of reassurance from them it was coming. I've had the stuff a week now and can really recommend the Horizon range (Elite 507 treadmill & V200 vibration plate)- very sturdy and with lots of great features. Looks like they'll last as well (probably longer then I do on this health kick!).

Well i have had a treadmill and a bicycle from you, both have been value for money, the treadmill gave me some trouble, but each time you repaired it and left me a satisfied customer, this is basically what keeps me coming back.

★★★★☆

written by on 21/09/2009

After deciding that I need to lose a few pounds and improve my fitness I set my heart on buying a rowing machine/exercise bike combo. Most websites had sold out on the model that I wanted but then I stumbled across Fitness Superstore. Not only did it have the machine I wanted in stock, it was also the best value and included a free gift. I placed my order and my confirmation email told me to wait about 5-7 working days for delivery. Two weeks later I was still waiting, I gave it a few extra days because of bank holiday Monday. I checked this website for reviews to make sure I hadn't bought from a dodgy website and the results worried me, quite a lot of people were waiting for their products for over a month. After seeing this I called their customer service, I got through after about three attempts. The lady was very polite and said that my order was on hold because the free gift was out of stock. I said that I wasn't really interested in the free gift so she said she would dispatch my order. I received my order two days later. The only thing lacking is communication, It would have been good to get an email letting me know the status of my order when they knew that the free gift was out of stock. Otherwise I would recommend using them.

★★★★★

written by on 13/11/2008

I order a tunturi c65 on sale for half price from fitness superstore last week. I called the next day to check on delivery times and was told they were currently out of stock and it would be available in three days. This made me a little suspect, and after reading some negative online reviews of the store I was not very optimistic about getting the elliptical anytime soon. However, when I called back three days later I was informed that it was indeed in stock, and that they could deliver it the next day, which they did. Each time I called I was connected promptly and had very helpful customer service people. Contrary to many of the reviews here I had a very good buying experience. I would certainly recommend fitness superstore.

★★★★★

written by on 31/05/2008

I ordered a Reebok Series 5 exercise bike but a Cross Trainer was delivered(in 3 days). One quick phone call later and within another 3 days(because of the weekend) I had received my bike and the Cross Trainer was picked up. Fantastic customer service and a remarkable price. Be careful of the couriers (who are NOT part of Bodypower) as my 2 man team turned out to be 1 man who made me remove my parcel from his lorry and watched me struggle on my own take it into my house.

“Going to a real store with real rowers to try out...”

★★★★★

written by Andy Walkden on 25/05/2007

Going to a real store with real rowers to try out saved me wasting my money. All the magnetic resistance rowers were very disappointing (felt like pulling a string attached to some weights - not at all like rowing). I tried the Concept2 machines like the ones in the gym I used to go to, and preferred the one I've bought (First Degree S250) by far.

I'm very happy with my purchase, although product assembly was a bit of a Krypton Factor experience (can't really blame Fitness Superstore for that!).
