EXETER'S PREMIUM GYM
& WELLNESS CLUb
INDEPENDENT | LIFESTYLE-LED | EXPERT COACHES
You can train at any gym in Exeter – but very few let you finish a strength session with a swim, unwind in the sauna, refuel with freshly prepared food, meet friends for coffee, stretch out in Pilates and book a deep tissue massage – all in one place.
At Exeter Golf and Country Club, fitness is more than an hour in the gym. It’s a place to train harder, recover better and enjoy the journey.
Whether you’re building strength, training for your first Hyrox event, preparing for a marathon, following a functional fitness programme or simply investing in your long-term health, you’ll find the space, coaching and community to help you keep progressing.
Because the best results don’t come from the hardest workout. They come from finding a place you’ll want to come back to.

TRAIN YOUR WAY
EXPERT COACHES | TOP QUALITY EQUIPMENT
No two members train for the same reason – everyone feels welcome to train for their own independent goals, but with the sense of community you get when you’re amongst people who’ve been coming here years.
Walk through our gym on any day and you’ll find people training for completely different reasons:
A Hyrox athlete shaving minutes off their time.
A bodybuilder chasing a new PB.
A runner building strength to stay injury-free.
A 17-year-old learning to lift with confidence.
A member in their seventies staying strong, mobile and independent.
None of them train the same way.
All of them belong here.
Our members range in age from 16 to over 90, creating a community that’s as diverse as it is welcoming. Whether you’re taking your first steps into fitness or have been training for decades, you’ll never feel out of place.
UNLIMITED CLASSES
Stay motivated with more than 85 weekly group exercise classes, including Functional Fitness, Strength, Circuits, Spin, Pilates, Yoga, Les Mills BODYPUMP™ and BODYBALANCE™, plus classes for every fitness level and goal.

EXPERT COACHING
PERSONAL TRAINING
Whether you’re building strength, training for a Hyrox event or simply looking to feel fitter and healthier, our experienced Personal Trainers can create a programme that’s tailored to your goals and evolves as you do, so every session moves you closer to the results you want.
With expert Personal Trainers, Fitness Class Instructors, Swim Coaches and Rackets Coaches all under one roof, you’ll have the support and expertise to achieve more than you thought possible.
REST | RECOVER | REFUEL
WARNING - IT'LL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE
Most people worry they’ll struggle to make it to the gym.
Our members have the opposite problem.
One workout turns into a swim. A quick coffee becomes lunch on the terrace. Before you know it, you’re back the next day for a class, a sauna or to catch up with friends. It’s a pretty good problem to have.
Join For A Membership About More Than Working Out

END OF AN ERA. This week we’re saying goodbye to Jojo after seven years, Charlie and Immy after four years and Holly after two.
Travelling and exciting new jobs ahead for them but sad times for us as they’ll be hugely missed by colleagues and members.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along — looking forward to the next one! 👏
Special Mention: Finlay Walker — for their brilliant attitude and enthusiasm throughout the camp.

Sandwiches come in all shapes and sizes, but the Exeter Golf and Country Club ‘club sandwich’ takes some beating.
Triple-toasted, chargrilled chicken, streaky bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise. 👊

WINNERS… AGAIN! 🏆
Exeter Golf and Country Club have done it again, taking home the trophy at the @hiltonamesofficial Funder Games for @hospiscaredevon 👏
A 5-a-side tournament that came down to a tense final against @exeterbradleys - and a penalty shoot-out!
We started with a 2-1 win over @simpkinsedwards , followed by a 1-0 win against @nexus.os Misfits and a 4-1 victory over @nfu_mutual securing our place in the final.
The final finished 0-0 after a seriously tense game, so it all came down to penalties.
Thanks to all our players from across the F&B Team, the Gym and Greenkeepers who stepped up to play and those who took the penalties - especially to our Greenkeeper and our goalkeeper- George - who scored his penalty after saving many in the sudden death penalty shoot out.
We have to give a special mention to F&B Team Leader, Owen who heroically carried on playing after falling mid-game and breaking his wrist. 😬👏
Huge thanks to everyone who took part, and to Ottery St Mary Leisure Centre for hosting us on Friday.
Champions again! 🙌

Hatton Boxing with Vince: 10 WEEKS DOWN. 2 WEEKS TO GO. 👊
A big well done to everyone on our Hatton Beginners’ Boxing Course for putting in the work over the last 10 weeks.
They’ve covered the fundamentals of boxing, from stance and footwork to jabs, crosses, hooks, body shots and uppercuts, plus combinations, cardio, power sets and perpetual motion.
They’ve also been getting to grips with the defensive side of boxing - slips, sways, blocks, parries, ducks and weaves - alongside plenty of fitness, skipping and bodyweight work.
Now it’s all about bringing those skills together.
Next up: defence + combinations in simulated sparring on the pads.
Amazing progress! New course starts later in the autumn! Tag who you’d want as your sparring partner.

In fact, we’ve definitely found the best place to be today… In the pool. Out of the pool. In the pool. Out of the pool. On repeat until 9.30pm tonight.
When it’s 31°C in Exeter, it’s got to be:
Swim. Sun. Swim. Repeat. All day long.

Last night’s Run Club was one of those evenings that reminds you how lucky we are to have this right on our doorstep.
From the club, we’re so close to Topsham and the estuary…the water and scenery definitely helps take your mind off the run.
Good miles, good company and plenty of chat along the way.

UPDATED - the smoking ban is now CLUB WIDE. The only place smoking is permitted is the smoking shelter by reception.
Due to the ongoing, exceptionally dry conditions, a smoking ban is now in place across the golf course and practice areas until further notice.
With vegetation extremely dry, the risk of fire is significantly increased. Please help us keep the course, surrounding areas and everyone on site safe by not smoking anywhere on the course or practice areas.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 🙏

Thanks to everyone who came to our summer tennis camps over the last three weeks. We were blessed with glorious weather!
Thanks to the coaches: Sid, Srasta, Vicky, Alex and Jess. And a special mention for Sammy, who volunteered his time for two weeks to help with the younger juniors.
We had children from beginners to advanced across our six courts - always a great opportunity to try playing on different surfaces from our two clay courts to our four Astro courts! Well done everyone!

Here’s what our Greenkeepers got up to during our Golf Course Maintenance Week, with Dave’s dog Bella keeping an eye on progress throughout!
Last week our greenkeeping team gave all 18 greens - plus the practice greens - some serious TLC, carrying out essential maintenance to help protect the health and resilience of the turf, particularly during these exceptionally dry conditions.
🌱 Verti-cutting removed excess thatch and organic matter, encouraging healthier, upright grass growth.
🏖️ Top dressing helped smooth and firm the surfaces, improve drainage and manage organic matter.
🌿 Overseeding introduced fresh, vigorous growth to improve coverage and help strengthen the turf.
🔩 Spike aeration to 4 inches relieved compaction, improved air and water movement and encouraged deeper root growth.
🧹 Brushing in the top dressing worked the sand into the surface, helping to fill imperfections and support a smoother putting surface.
⛳️ New holes were cut to reduce wear and keep play fresh and fair.
With the course currently dealing with drought conditions, maintaining healthy roots, good drainage and resilient turf is more important than ever.
A big week of work to help give the greens the best possible chance through the rest of the season.
