STAY AWAY !!

STAY AWAY !!! I visited the Leeds store on Saturday and was assisted by a blonde advisor with glasses. He recommended an indoor bike within my £200 budget that was available online but not in-store. He assured me I would receive an immediate order confirmation via email and that delivery would be 'anytime this week'.
​I paid via POS, but I have received ZERO confirmation. No email, no receipt other than the card slip, and now both the Leeds and Glasgow branches are unreachable by phone. I am not interested in excuses about 'lead times' or 'processing delays'. The verbal agreement was delivery this week and immediate confirmation. Since you failed the very first step, I am exercising my right to cancel. I do not want the bike, I want my money back. I have already filed a dispute with my bank and reported this to Action Fraud. Do not bother with scripted replies; just process the refund!!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.

Our records show that you visited our Leeds store on Saturday 7 February, where you placed an order for a Bodymax SC30 indoor bike. At the point of sale, a receipt was provided and our sales advisor advised that delivery would take place within the week. An invoice is also automatically sent by email; if this was your first order with us, it may have been directed to your junk or spam folder. We did attempt to contact you directly by email to discuss and confirm if you do wish to cancel, but did not receive a response.

I can confirm that your order was dispatched this morning with our courier, Arrow, and you may have already received tracking details. Arrow is a premium two-man delivery service and will deliver the item to a first-floor room of your choice. As this is a booked service, the courier will contact you directly to arrange a delivery date that is convenient for you.

Please accept our apologies if the invoice email was not received as expected. However, as a receipt was provided in store and delivery was advised within a week, the order has been processed within our published delivery timeframes, with dispatch taking place on the first working day following purchase.

Regarding your comments about contacting us by phone and live chat, we did experience temporary network issues yesterday that caused disruption to our communication channels. While this was resolved as quickly as possible, we appreciate that it may have caused inconvenience and apologise for this.

Thank you again for your feedback. If you would like to discuss this further, we would be happy to assist.

Kind regards

Good luck waiting for your refund!

Ordered Stairmaster 4G Gauntlet online on 08/01/2026 at a cost of £3945, and paid a credit card deposit of just under £2000 (balance 0% with V12 finance) after initally speaking with a sales consultant in Aberdeen who advised delivery time would be between 2-3 weeks. By 19th January, had had zero communication from anyone, so called Fitshop (was put through to ?Glasgow Fitshop) & was advised that the advisor in Aberdeen advised me incorrectly & stated it would be a 6+ week lead time. Given this, I decided to cancel order that day and requested a refund of deposit. Was advised by email my card refund would take 'between 10 to 14 WORKING days' YES! you read that correctly. Fast forward to 5th February - still no refund, called them up querying where refund was as they were getting interest and I was being charged interest from my credit card for the privelege of receiving nothing. Ended up having to contact my credit card to raise a dispute to get my refund back. Never have I in all my days heard of a company keeping hold of your money for what turned out to be almost a month, when they are quick enough to take money out same day. Extremely disappointing experience all round from start to finish. The left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing and the the miscommunication causes nothing but frustration.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. I appreciate your comments regarding the perceived miscommunication around lead times, and I apologise for any confusion this may have caused. StairMaster is a premium product, and to ensure it arrives in the best possible condition, items are shipped directly from the manufacturer using their dedicated courier service. Lead times are typically around 3–4 weeks; however, at the time your order was placed, these were slightly extended due to increased demand.

Your order was placed via a finance agreement, and as such, the deposit was paid directly to the finance provider. Upon receiving your cancellation request, we arranged for the finance agreement to be cancelled immediately. Please note that refunds are processed by the finance provider, and we advise customers that this can take up to 14 working days to allow for processing time.

I am sorry that this experience did not meet your expectations. Should you have any concerns regarding the status of your refund, we recommend contacting the finance provider directly. Of course, please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.

Kind regards,
Fitshop

Do not use this business

Do not purchase any products from this business, I’ve spent over £10k over the past few years with them, lately I’ve purchased a lower cost item (£58) that hasn’t been delivered and FITShop do not want to help in anyway, even though they’ve taken full payment. This business is not professional and shouldn’t be trading. Absolutely shocking behaviours.

Avoid. Two damaged items supplied and refund still not resolved

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience has been genuinely exhausting.

I was sent two separate bikes, one after the other, and both arrived damaged. After the first damaged item was returned, a replacement was sent — which also arrived damaged. At that point, I requested a refund.

Since then, the situation has deteriorated further. The refund has been repeatedly delayed with vague responses, long periods of silence, and no clear timeline. Emails have gone unanswered, phone calls have not been returned, and I have had to chase constantly just to get basic information.

What is most disappointing is not simply that mistakes were made, but the complete lack of ownership or communication once the problems were clear. Supplying one damaged item may be bad luck; supplying two in succession and then failing to resolve the refund is not.

I have now been forced to escalate the matter through my card provider due to the retailer’s inaction.

If you value your time, money, or peace of mind, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before ordering. Issues can happen with any company — but how they are handled matters. This experience showed a worrying lack of accountability from start to finish.

Based on this experience, I would not trust this retailer to resolve problems once your payment has been taken.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are very sorry to hear that there were issues with your online order. While courier damage is uncommon, we fully appreciate how frustrating it must have been for this to occur, particularly as it happened on more than one occasion.

I can confirm that your case was passed to our accounts team for action, and I apologise for the delay in this being expedited. We can see that your refund has now been successfully processed.

I have also been in contact with you directly and would like to thank you for the feedback you provided. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further assistance.

Disgusting customer service

I had a fairly disgusting experience with this company. Ordered an adjustable bench which was due to be delivered on an organised day (it never came and they never communicated). As I didn't want to wait in again I cancelled the order instead and was due to receive a refund minus £25 for delivery. It has now been a month with no refund and they are completely ignoring my mails. Terrible customer service and I will now likely need to proceed with legal action, avoid this company at all costs. Further update: A very helpful lady from Fitshop got in touch after this review to apologise and organise the refund which I have now received, a gesture I really appreciated. It would not be enough to convince me to use fitshop again but at least shows they are a responsible company.

Ordered £500 of kettlebells on 14…

Ordered £500 of kettlebells on 14 January. Delivery arrived on 16 January, most boxes were soaking wet and one looked like it had been thrown around a bit. Miraculously all but one were 'acceptable'. Contacted Fitshop to sort the damaged one, over a week later I was offered a 5% refund or a replacement. I opted for a replacement and it has gone silent since. No confidence in this company and pursuing a full refund through my credit card company. Personally, I wouldn't order from Fitshop online, not worth the aggro.

Fitshop Taurus MS60 Elite Trainer

I purchased the Fitshop Taurus MS60 Elite Trainer - Multi Function Gym Rack System along with other accessories ( Camberley Store) & payed them to install them, they installed it January 2025. Several months later. I contacted them (3 Rutherglen Links, G73 1DF, Glasgow) 30/09/2025 of an incident I had, I was performing squats with a weight I could handle but the bar you twist (off & on the hooks) got stuck, I had to rock the bar to get it free. I sent them a video with photos. It took till 28/11/2025 for an engineer to come to my place to fit a new part (makes no difference as I'd stopped using it for chest, legs & shoulders) the same engineer came 16/12/2025, fitted more new parts and took photos as he wasn't happy with the machine. I've asked for my money back & they've stopped answering my emails & calls. You buy a machine so you can safely train by yourself & it traps you underneath it. I told them I would complain on Trustpilot & they just don't care.
