Ways MyGym Is COMPLETELY Different From the Commercial Gyms
When you search for a gym in Stockport, you’ll find plenty of large, soulless chains (you’ll know the ones we mean) – but MyGym in Hazel Grove is in a league of its own. Here’s how we stand apart:
1. MyGym is Community-Led, Not Corporate
We’re proud to say MyGym is always staffed by the owners and our team, meaning you’re not walking into an empty reception or being handled by an off-site centre manager. Whether it’s Steve, David, Beth or one of the personal training team, someone is here every day, fully aware of what’s happening.
We get to know you – your goals, your challenges, your name – because we’re part of the community, not distant operators.
2. We Truly Care
Our success depends on your experience. From the quality of our kit to the vibe in the gym, we care deeply about delivering excellence. If our equipment were substandard, our atmosphere stale, or our coaching weak, it would affect our reputation, and we’d suffer as a result. That drive pushes us every day to maintain a top-tier environment that delivers results.
3. Constant Investment, Because We Can
Unlike corporate-run gyms answering to shareholders, we reinvest directly back into MyGym. We don’t have a head office dictating what goes in – we follow what our members want and need. That’s why we’ve built arguably the best strength & conditioning gym in Stockport: 12 power racks, 40+ barbells, over 5,000 kg of bumper plates, prowlers, ski ergs, sleds and more . Regular investment in fresh kit and improvements ensures you always have access to what matters most.
We’ve gone from this…
To this…
4. We Buy on Quality – Not Quota
When we decide on new equipment, it’s because we want it or, sometimes, because you asked for it – not because we need to fill a quota, or because we’ve got a tie-in with a single provider. Our buying decisions are made by gym owners who train here and understand our members. We don’t have a corporate checklist, no filler products – just the best kit that supports your training.
It means we can buy the best products for our needs. If we think one company has better kettlebells, or barbells, or treadmills than another, we’re free to buy what we like, not what we’re told!
5. MyGym is Never Overcrowded
We believe in quality experiences, not packed floors. Sure, we have peak times, but unlike commercial chains that squeeze in as many paying members as possible, we focus on ensuring there’s always space to train. No waiting for racks. No battling for barbells. Just consistent access so you can train effectively every single time.
If you’re free in the morning or early afternoon, you’ll often only be sharing the gym with a handful of other people.
6. Owners are on the Floor Every Day
At MyGym, you’ll see us regularly – not hidden away in an office somewhere. We’re personally present, hearing your feedback, noticing what’s working and what isn’t. That direct line between members and decision-makers allows us to respond quickly and authentically to what you need.
We see the gym at all times of the day, so we know what is going on. We know when the place is busy, we know the equipment that needs maintaining, we know when stock levels are low, and we know how the place is being used. It’s important to us as a team to always be eyes-on, so we can really understand the needs of the business.
What Our Members Say
Boasting a 4.9-star rating on ClassPass and Google reviews, and glowing reviews like “purpose-built strength and conditioning facility” and “never have to wait for equipment” , our members consistently praise the high-end kit and friendly atmosphere. One local said: “This is by far the BEST gym in the area” and emphasised how the staff make it feel welcoming for new members . These aren’t just words — they’re testimonials from real people training hard and seeing real results.
