From the Google Business Profile, photographed by The Norwich Fitness Academy.

The Norwich Fitness Academy is listed as a gym, a boot camp, a fitness centre and a personal trainer, and it holds 5.0 from 62 reviews at 3 Guardian Road. Next door at 1b is GAIN Fitness. Two of the best rated training venues in the west of the city share one short road, which is not a coincidence so much as a sign of where the useable industrial space is.

The hours read like a coaching business rather than an open gym: half six to half seven most weekdays, a ten o'clock start on Wednesdays, a midday finish on Fridays, two hours on Saturday morning and nothing on Sunday. Go here for structure and instruction. Go elsewhere for a room to wander into at nine at night.
