Racquets is the friendliest gym you will ever go to. From the moment I started playing women's squash I loved the vibe at the gym. Everyone is welcome and a bit like cheers everyone knows your name. The staff there are always on hand to help you in the gym with the equipment and the range of classes available is really varied. I also have really enjoyed learning squash. I had never played before and now I really enjoy it and have a good understanding of the game.

Racquets have fantastic staff and instructors who are friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The yoga instructors(Laura, Vernalisa and Philly) are amazing as is fitness instructor Kat (Free Weights and Aerobics) and Nigel (Pilates). All the classes are great fun and not deadly serious. Racquets is a really friendly place with lots of social activity - and a great supporter of the Thame community.

I moved away to Devon three years ago but still do the on line classes that ran from covid times!. Keeping me up to date with the instructors and of course keeping me fit! It’s a great way to exercise if you can’t actually be there. There is also the added advantage that you can do a class whenever you want to.

Grateful for the fun and inclusive for all abilities junior squash sessions. Really enjoyed learning to play squash here in my 40s and appreciate this local squash club run by local friendly people who get involved in the community. All our family of 5 have played squash here over the years! Looking beyond the 1970s build is important to appreciate this fab local facility. Thanks to all at Racquets!

I joined Racquets Fitness Club primarily to play squash and ended up using the gym running machines to improve my cardio and joining in on YOGA and Step classes to increase my flexibility. This gym is not flashy but what it lacks in glitz and glamour it makes up for by the bucket load in personality. All of the staff are really friendly and despite not knowing anyone before joining the club, I was soon introduced to other squash players. The squash "join ins" are a favourite of mine, where all abilities play each other. I was only able to attend one of Simons fitness for squash sessions due to time constraints but I will defnitely sign up to them again when I return. I tried 3 types of YOGA during my 5 week membership and did 10 sessions of STEP, all of which certainly improved my general fitness and flexibility. Did you realise Racquets has a Chinese Restaurant and Bar? No I didn't either. A great place to relax, chat and have a drink after a hard game, training session or class. If you'd prefer a coffee there is a self serve machine and seating are on the ground floor. The changing facilities were regularly cleaned and the showers were ALWAYS piping hot, a must have in any sports venue. The Sauna was a real bonus to soothe those aching muscles. Racquets is a great club, with good facilities and fantastic staff who made me feel really welcome. If you want to keep fit I highly recommend joing Racquets Fitness.

I love this club! Exercise is definitely not something I look forward to doing ... and gym membership has never lasted long... but i've found a bit of a home here. They have been so encouraging, patient and friendly. And who knew how fun squash is!!! Totally unpretentious place that I enjoy going to, rather than feel obliged to.

I joined racquets a few months ago as they offer a very competitive over 60’s membership. The gym is a friendly place and all the staff and fitness instructors are very helpful. As a more mature woman I sometimes feel intimidated at other gyms with a much younger and fitter membership. I’ve not felt like that at all at racquets and would definitely recommend giving it a go..!

I have been a member for several years, initially joining to improve my squash/racketball. Which I would like to this has happened given I have taken advantage of coaching that is available. Court availability is normally fine during the day, however book early for peak times and when the summer leagues are running. There are a number of different memberships available. I have full that allows me to use all the other classes, I.e spinning, HIIT, Pilates etc. Having built up a thirst, enjoy a drink in the well stocked bar and listen to some wartime stories from Simon. A further bonus, Lemongrass Chinese also operate out of the premises. It is not David Lloyds but it is a friendly welcoming club at a fraction of the cost.

First visited the Centre 10 or so years ago to get fit and then took up racquetball. It's a great place. Excellent facilities for young & old, beginners & the more experienced. Most importantly, the Racquets' team are very friendly, supportive and, of course, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended.

It would be great if it could open earlier on tue and thu as I work funny shifts but I have enjoyed the non judgemental attitude I have had at some gyms. Brilliant facilities and love the grit yard on the warmer days.

Pricey fees for a small gym — not to mention a limited range of gym equipment presents issues to its availability during peak hours. With the emergence of a new gym in town, Racquets will have to up its game to compete. That being said, you can't fault the staff — and the whole place has a homely, if somewhat dated feel to it. It also has a prime central location, other gyms in town are not well located by comparison.
