FREE gym day passes

Below is our round-up of free day passes to gyms. With these, you can generally make use of all facilities that the gym has, for example, classes, swimming pools and more.

Nuffield Health: free 3-day pass

Valid at 90+ locations across England, Scotland & Wales

Nuffield Health is offering first-time visitors a FREE three-day gym pass at most of its fitness centres during March.

Go online to Nuffield Health and fill in a form (you’ll need to provide your name, email and mobile number). You’ll then be sent a booking confirmation to take with you when you attend the gym during your trial period. You’ll also need to take photographic ID.

The pass is valid until Monday 31 March, and you have to claim the three days consecutively, so plan ahead for three days when you can attend back-to-back. To make sure you can use all three days, the latest you should attend the gym for your first day is Saturday 29 March.

Nuffield Health day passes usually cost £10-£20, so this is a great way to test out the facilities without needing a membership. It tends to offer one to three day gym passes a handful of times a year.

You can’t use the pass at Barbican, Battersea, Chigwell, City, Fulham, Ilford, Kingston, Paddington, Romford, Shoreditch, Wandsworth Southside, Wimbledon or Wolves. You won’t be able to book group exercise classes with this pass.

Free and cheap class passes

If you’re not fussed about using all the gym’s facilities, these below are free or cheap class or one-off session passes. These usually involve signing up to a cancellable subscription.

Classpass: 1-month £1 trial

With in person and virtual classes

Newbies can get a 1-month trial for £1 when signing up to ClassPass. You’ll then be entered into a monthly subscription costing £69 a month (based on London, prices differ depending on location) but you can cancel at any time. If you don’t want to be charged for the next month, you’ll need to cancel at least two days before your renewal date.

ClassPass doesn’t have its own clubs, but rather gives you access to selected gyms, yoga studios, leisure centres and more. It works on a credits system, where different gym classes or session cost a certain number of credits.

The free trial month gets you 52 credits, which you can use on any classes listed on the app. The number of credits a class costs varies between gyms and locations.

You’ll feel the biggest benefit of services like ClassPass if you like your workouts to have a bit of variety, or you’re just interested in classes and not other gym
