About

The personal touch to training in the heart of Nottingham city centre.

About Formula One Gym

We're not a commercial faceless gym whereby you swipe a card and enter a soulless, sterile environment. We consider ourselves at the heart of the community. Our staff have got to know the local businesses, local residents and everyone in between over the course of decades. We enjoy getting to know our members.

We spend time with you to find out what you really want to achieve.

We want to support you, not lecture you. We offer a diverse range of equipment and physical support from our fully qualified and experienced staff. We appreciate half the battle is motivating yourself to get to the gym in the first place. Once you have then we'll give you a helping hand to make sure you can make the most of us.

A great gym to train at! Fantastic location, affordable pricing and plenty of friendly, knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help. The gym is always kept clean and tidy. There's a wide range of high quality equipment to support your training goals. There’s also a great variety of classes to keep your workouts engaging and effective.

This is the best gym I have ever trained in my life. Cheap subscription, friendly stuff and the best location. In off peak hours the gym is mostly empty so you can enjoy your workout. Always tidy and clean. The only reason I quit is because I am moving out of Nottingham. Thanks f1 team!!!

Honestly an amazing gym, great value. It's comfortable and has the facilities of a larger gym chain, but with the personal touch and friendliness of a smaller independent. I was taken care of initially by Dom and later Alex, who really helped me get started on my gym journey. Luckily I'm able to attend at quieter periods, but I rarely need to wait for the equipment I need. Regrettably I'm going away at the end of this month, but will certainly use this gym again when I return to Notts.

I absolutely love this gym! One of the best features is the female-only gym on the top floor, which provides a comfortable and private space for women to work out. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The gym itself is always clean, and it's clear they take pride in maintaining the space. I also appreciate that the equipment is always in great working condition, whether it's the cardio machines or the weights. Highly recommend this gym to anyone!
