New year, new me! How much are Shropshire gyms charging to help you get in shape?

Some of us, sweltering under the weight of our lardy tums after stuffing our greedy faces with turkey, chocolate and roast potatoes day after day in December, may well have come to the dawning realisation that we need to hit the gym… (me too!)

Well, worry no more, we have you covered. Here are some of the Shropshire gyms that could help you turn from flab to fab.

Shrewsbury

• JD Gyms, Sundorne Retail Park. £25.99 per month (£10 for the first month, no joining fee)

Well-equipped and open 24 hours a day. It’s in an old warehouse so no windows with picturesque views, but you’re there to work I guess and it’s decent value.

• Bannatyne Health Club. £66.99 per month (half price first month with £15 joining fee, meaning you pay £48.50 for your first month).

Good facilities including pool, spa and sauna. Decent equipment in the gym, although more space could be made for weight training over a lot of barely used cardio machines. Great value in comparison to other, far more expensive premium offerings.

Telford

• Anytime Fitness, Gresham Drive, Lawley. £29.95 per month

A modern, high-spec gym in a convenient location with a friendly team who have won awards for their charity work.

• Foundry Gym, Kendall Business Park, Stafford Park 6. £28.99 per month,

Users rate the boxing equipment, personal trainers and the “buzzing atmosphere” according to Google reviews.

• Nuffield Telford Fitness & Wellbeing Gym. Forge Retail Park. £57 per month (12-month commitment)

“Bigger than most gyms”, one reviewer says. Benefits from “large” variety of classes as well as sauna, steam room and swimming pool.

Oswestry

• Evolution Gym, Bailey Street. £29.99 per month rolling direct debit.

Members like the “courteous” staff and the “friendly” atmosphere, and say the gym has “all the equipment you need”.

• Puregym, Penda Retail Park, Salop Road. £28.99 per month, but with a special offer of £14.99 for the first six months with £15 joining fee.

Open 24 hours a day and has more than 220 pieces of equipment.

Bridgnorth

• Faraday’s Fitness Club, Faraday Business Park, Faraday Drive. £32.99 per month.

“Good atmosphere, clean and good mix of machines”, according to reviews. Another which is open 24 hours a day.

• The Gym Club, Hollybush Road. £35 per month.

Reviewers say it has good equipment and is clean, and there is “not a tripod in sight”, which will be music to the ears of people wanting to train in peace and quiet away from “gymfluencers”.

Market Drayton

• Evolve Gym & Fitness, Tern Valley Business Park, Wallace Way. £40 per month.

“Clean”, “friendly” and has “great owners” according to reviews, as well as a “large” selection of free weights, cable and cardio machines.

Ludlow

• Teme Leisure Centre, Bromfield Road. £35 per month

A “no so little gem” in Ludlow, according to one review, which said it has “fantastic facilities with a gym, functional room, great pool and a spa”.
