Simmply Active Gym has now opened in Moorside with memberships starting at £11.99 per month.

Bringing together style, accessibility and affordability, Simmply Active Gym has been designed to make fitness feel more achievable for everyone.

The facility includes:

Fully equipped gym machines

Studio space

Fitness classes

Hot drinks

Shower and changing facilities

The organisation is built around a community first approach, focused on improving both physical and mental wellbeing through simple, accessible activity.

Through group classes, sports and local initiatives, the team aims to bring people together, encouraging connection and movement.

Simmply Active works with individuals of all ages and abilities, creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of background or experience.

This is further supported by its wellbeing programme – Simmply Minds – which provides mental health support for vulnerable members of the community.

By combining physical activity with emotional support, the programme helps individuals build confidence, routine and resilience.

With a strong focus on accessibility, Simmply Active hopes to remove the barriers which often prevent people from engaging with fitness.

By keeping pricing low and creating an open, supportive environment, the gym aims to play a meaningful role in supporting the health and wellbeing of the local community.

David Simmons, CEO of Simmply Active said: “I am delighted to open this space to the community. Simmply Active Gym brings together specialist staff, high end equipment, and a range of classes, all designed to support people without the heavy price tag.

“We all know that the cost of living is rising, but I want to ensure we can support people’s mental and physical health as affordably as possible.

“There shouldn’t be a high price on staying healthy and that’s exactly what Simmply Active is here to change.”

Simmply Active Gym is located at Unit P, 12 Moorside, Colchester, CO1 2TJ.

Phase 2 memberships are currently available from just £11.99, with limited spaces remaining.
