How FreeGym works

Try Bristol's gyms, studios and trainers for free or less – here's the whole journey, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Search near you

    Pop in your postcode and see what's nearby – free tasters, discounted passes and memberships from Bristol's gyms, studios and trainers, plus free community events like parkrun.

  2. 2

    Claim or buy

    Free offers just need an account – claiming takes seconds. Paid offers check out securely by card, handled by Stripe, so we never see your details. Either way your voucher and its QR code land in My offers and your inbox.

  3. 3

    Wait to be booked in

    The important one: it's not a walk-in pass. The venue will contact you within 24 hours to arrange your visit – please don't head down until they have.

  4. 4

    Go and redeem

    On the day, bring photo ID – your voucher is in your name and the venue may check it matches. When you arrive, tap Redeem now and show the screen; staff scan the QR code and you're in.

Community events are even simpler

Listings marked COMMUNITY – parkruns, run clubs and the like – have no voucher and no booking, and they're free to join. Each one runs things its own way, so check the listing for the full details before you go.

Fair and honest

One voucher per free offer, and fair use caps free claims at a dozen a year – that's what keeps the freebies free for everyone. And reviews on FreeGym only come from people who actually redeemed a voucher, so the stars mean something.

The money bit

Paid vouchers are valid for 4 months, and you have a 14-day cooling-off period for a full refund if you change your mind. If a paid voucher ever expires unused, contact us – we'll refund what you paid, or credit it if you'd rather. Your money doesn't just vanish.
