I ordered a pilates mat for my wife's birthday. It was out of stock but Sarah upgraded my order at no extra cost. She kept me informed about the progress of my order and delivery. Fantastic customer service. And the mat is excellent.

Always being very well looked after with quick service and bespoke support on custom projects. I have used BGE since 2021 and recommend to everyone for cost, service and equipment.

Brilliant Customer Service nothing is too much, answers all questions delivers on time and sells really good quality gyms, cannot recommend highly enough, the BL1 Bodylift Gym is what my husband bought and he loves it. This gym does exactly what a bigger gym would do but takes up a lot less space. Brilliant new concept in my opinion it is safer, easier to assemble and no complicated weight changes what is not to like. Just head over to there site and type in BL1 Multi Gym see what it can do.

Shocking service! Having been let down the previous week by another equipment supplier, so we move on to Best Gym. Advised of a Friday delivery. Day booked off from work. Waited all day and nothing. Phoned, no answer. Sent text. Get a reply saying i should've received a email from Concept advising their shipment went elsewhere. Checked all mail ( including junk) and guess what? No email.
I phone concept who then advised a Saturday morning delivery. No prizes for guessing the no show.
Concept and Best Gym are 2 incompetent and inept companies whose standards of customer service are nothing short of abysmal.

Amazing customer service team

I am taking this opportunity to review as I have had nothing short of great service from BGE.

I recently purchased a Exigo 6ft punchbag and wall bracket. The items are great, I am very pleased with them even though I cannot fully review them at this stage as I have not put them up yet. I wanted to leave the review for the company and it's staff in particular.

Firstly, I saw a discount code for 10% on the site before I ordered. As I went though PayPal checkout, the payment automatically went through and I didn't get chance to add the code. One quick email and they immediately emailed me back and processed the refund for the difference. Great start already. That was a lovely lady named Kat Brown.

Secondly, a few days had gone by and I was awaiting a delivery confirmation email which I had yet to receive. Being as impatient as I am sometimes, I chased it up with BGE. I was back on to Kat who was chasing this up for me and keeping me up to date every step of the way.

After a couple of days, she emailed me back again to say the delivery should shortly be going ahead and I'd receive an email from the fulfilment team with a delivery ETA. Again, my impatience led me chase it up again after 24hrs. Kat informed me she would be going on leave for a long weekend and handed me over to Sarah Granger who was also just as helpful. Between the pair of them they chased up my delivery and I received my items a couple of days later.

I am very happy with how it all went. The one thing I'd like to see in future would be a little bit of a heads up sooner to save chasing up a delivery, but as far as customer service goes, they're right up there.

So, a big special thanks to Kat and Sarah for the efforts and putting up with me asking every 5 mins where my items were :)

I will definitely use BGE again and recommend the site to anyone looking for excellent customer service and top quality products

Thank you

If you want to get scammed and be out of pocket, your in the right place.

I emailed Best Gym Equipment about an Exigo 3ft Punchbag bracket and kindly greeted with an email to say they had one left in stock. So i bought it.

3 weeks later i emailed to ask when i will expect to receive this item, of which had a reply to say its bespoke made and will take an addtional 4-6 weeks. Really i thought this was in stock? As it was for a christmas gift i asked for a refund. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, you would have to pay a re-stocking fee.

I had no choice but to contact my bank who gave me the £97.16 back rather quickly whilst fighting it on my behalf. So i ordered elsewhere. The next day the Best Gym Equipment punchbag bracket arrives? I mean what happened to the 4 to 6 weeks i needed to wait? So i told them i wanted to send it back, as ive now ordered elsewhere. They wanted an addtional £28 for me to send it back. Eventually they agreed to pick it up using Fedex and did not charge me. The item was collected by Fedex and returned.

Last week my bank messaged me to say they have still not had a refund from Best Gym Equipment and took back my £97.16, suggesting i need to take it up as a legal matter, referencing trading standards.

Till this day i still do not have my money back and Best Gym Eqipment have their bracket back so im £97.16 out of pocket, AVOID AVOID AVOID.

After reply.

You are con artists. I have not had a refund. So putting this one here just tells me what liars you are. I won't rest till I get my refund. How you are trading is beyond me.

I have now had a refund finally. This was a week after this review was written.

Hi Adam,

We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience, but we’d like to clarify what actually happened.

When you placed your order, our website showed the item as in stock. However, due to an internal miscommunication with our supplier, we were initially advised that it was out of stock, and we passed that information on to you in good faith. A few hours later, our supplier confirmed that they did, in fact, have one available, and they dispatched it immediately on a priority service to ensure you received it as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, by the time we updated you, you had already placed an order elsewhere.

We completely understand that this was frustrating for you, and when you requested to return the item, we liaised with our supplier to arrange this for you. Initially, they advised that a return shipping and restocking fee would apply, but as a goodwill gesture, we covered these costs in full for you. The item was collected from you and returned to our supplier at our expense.

Before we could process your refund, however, you initiated a chargeback with your bank, claiming that the item was never delivered. This was inaccurate, and we had to provide evidence to our merchant bank, which led to the chargeback being closed in our favour. Despite this, we still refunded you in full once the dispute was resolved.

At no point did we refuse to refund you, in reality, the delays were caused by the chargeback process. While we acknowledge that the initial stock confusion was unfortunate, we did everything we could to rectify the situation, covering return costs and processing your refund once the dispute was closed.

We always strive to provide a fair and transparent service to our customers, and we regret any frustration caused.

Best regards,
Best Gym Equipment

Terrible Customer Service, Constant Issues!

Terrible customer service! Machine had issues, missing parts and took months to sort out which caused serious loss of business and is continuing to impact my income.

They are all friendly and can't do enough for you until they get the sale, and then they couldn't care less. I bought a Merrithew Reformer from Best Gym Equipment to open a bespoke Pilates Studio.

Instead of using another popular brand, I chose Best Gym Equipment because their customer service appeared to be great. The minute I purchased they went quiet and I had to follow up multiple times to get information on delivery.

Then my item was delivered by the rudest delivery men who basically shoved my item through the door, damaging my door, ripping the boxing and irritating local residents. I let this go and moved on.

However, from day one my item was faulty. It came with a threaded screw that needed to be replaced to be able to safely use the machine and launch my business.

Somehow that ended up being months of waiting for a single part with awful communication and little attempt at finding a solution. It cost my business grately, delayed my launch and lost me clients.

THEN, I'm finally able to start using the machine after months of waiting to find there's damage to the carriage of the machine! It still has wrapping on and is hardly used.

Again, the customer service is awful...Darren will do anything to pass the buck, is refusing to refund my item and is constantly passing blame onto the supplier. I would never purchase through Best Gym Equipment again. It's caused me no end of stress and drama since day one.

I purchased early October, it's now end of January and I still don't have a Reformer that can be used as it should and have no resolution!

All that's needed is a responsive retailer that can source spare parts and offer returns and refunds appropriately. Best Gym Equipment doesn't have the proper processes for these basic requirements! Unfortunately, this has cost my business.

Hi Siobhain,

We're very sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience. We completely understand your frustration with the delays and issues you've encountered. However, we’d like to clarify a few points.

Your order was for a Merrithew Reformer, a specialist piece of equipment that we sourced directly from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, there were delays from Merrithew's end, which we chased regularly on your behalf. While we always strive to provide excellent customer service, we are sometimes reliant on our suppliers for parts and technical support.

Regarding the initial issue with the screw, once we were made aware, we pushed for a swift resolution. We understand that any delay had an impact on your business, and we genuinely regret that this took longer than expected. As for the more recent concerns about the carriage fabric, we have been in ongoing discussions with Merrithew to find a suitable resolution.

At every stage, we have remained in contact with you, keeping you informed and pressing the supplier for answers. While we appreciate that this has been a frustrating situation, we have never refused to help you or to find a resolution—on the contrary, we have actively worked to resolve the issues in the best way possible.

We take customer service seriously and always aim to deliver the best experience possible. We regret that, on this occasion, external factors beyond our direct control have caused delays, and we sincerely appreciate your patience throughout the process.

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us directly, and we will continue to do everything we can to assist.

Best regards,
Best Gym Equipment

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time. I was lied to about stock availability, I was lied to about dispatch times, and I was lied to about following up a query. Honestly, it felt like they just wanted to take the money. AVOID.

Really good company

Really good company. Richard from Sales provided some great advice to help make sure the reformer I wanted would fit in the space I have and was super responsive. Will buy from them again as highly trustworthy and knowledgeable about the products they sell.

BestGymEquipment were amazing!

Such a great service while trying to find the best treadmill for us. I was guided through all the options to match my needs and had the same person to email with all my questions before I ordered. Replies were exceedingly fast. It felt like good old fashioned customer service which is lacking in so many online companies.

My treadmill was delivered today by two lovely, very knowledgeable lads exactly when promised and the whole service from start to finish has been faultless. The treadmill is everything that was promised and fits my needs perfectly.I will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Best Gym Equipment to all my friends and family and will be ordering from them again in the future.

Richard made a massive difference!

Richard is not a sales person, he is a fellow human being trying to serve customers in most professional, efficient and polite way. I could have bought the same equipment from other outfits but Richard certainly made the difference and I will buy from Best Gym Equipment any day of the week, highly recommended. Thank you

The customer service is refreshingly…

The customer service is refreshingly excellent. Buying gym equipment from lesser known brands is always risky, so having a team on hand to speak to without being defaulted to a chat bot or an automated message, fills me with confidence. I will be consistently using you guys again in the future.

Excellent service from Best gym

Excellent service from Best gym, as always great customer care and contact, always reply and very courteous. The sauna was very easy to install, everything just clipped together. the quality is amazing, it's a really beautiful product and comes with a back rest and oil burner. Amazing bit of kit and I am absolutley loving it. It takes about 10 minutes to get to 33 degrees which is warm enough for you to get it whilst it gets to max temp. I use it to meditate, stretch, or read and with the lights and built in blue tooth speakers I really don't want to get out of it. Hopefully start seeing the benefits in a few weeks

I purchase goods from best gym…

I purchase goods from best gym regularly and I have never had a bad experience. Richard is very helpful, friendly and patient with my many enquires before I actually decide on what I want. Shipment is very quick and everything I have ordered so far have been top quality. These guys are one of the best in the business and I plan on sticking with them for a long time to come.
