The practical things that make a session easy to fit in: park right outside, shower afterwards, grab a drink on the way out.
Amazon Gym has all the additional facilities you could hope for. The gym has an abundance of free parking options, hot showers across both changing rooms, hairdryers for use as well as much more.
We also offer a range of products behind our reception desk such as water, pre-workout, electrolytes, protein snacks, Monster energy, Red Bull and hydration drinks.
Turning up to the gym for the first time — or even the fiftieth — should be simple, and at Amazon Gym we've tried to strip out anything that gets in the way of that. From the moment you pull into the car park to the moment you're changed and back out the door, the facilities here are built around making training as frictionless as possible.
Right outside the gym is a large, newly resurfaced car park, and it's completely free — no time limits, no permits, no apps to download before you can leave your car. Given how rural the surrounding area is, with members travelling in from Attleborough, Watton and the villages nearby, having generous free parking directly on site makes a real difference. You won't find yourself circling for a space or paying to train, which is one less thing to think about before a session.
Once you're inside, both changing rooms are fitted with hot showers, so there's no need to head home to clean up after a session — handy if you're training before or after work, or squeezing a gym visit into a lunch break. Alongside the showers, there's a substantial number of lockers in both changing rooms, and we've deliberately kept locker provision high so that space is very rarely an issue — you should reliably find one free, even at busy times. Hairdryers are also available, so a full change and tidy-up before heading out is genuinely practical here, not just an afterthought.
Amazon Gym is designed to be usable by as many people as possible. A disability ramp is in place for wheelchair access into the building, so getting in and around the gym doesn't rely on navigating steps. If you need any assistance with this or have specific accessibility requirements, our team are on hand — just ask a member of staff when you arrive and they'll help however they can.
Behind the reception desk you'll find a small but useful range of products to cover anything you've forgotten or fancy picking up mid-session: bottled water, pre-workout, electrolytes, protein snacks, and popular energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull, alongside general hydration drinks. It means you don't need to plan every last detail before you arrive — if you forget your water bottle or want a boost before a heavy session, it's covered.
You don't need much to get started. Suitable training shoes and comfortable workout clothing are the essentials, and a water bottle is always useful, though you can also grab a drink from reception if you forget one. A towel is worth bringing if you plan to shower afterwards, although the changing rooms are well equipped either way. If you're coming for an induction or your first session, it's worth arriving a few minutes early to park, get changed, and get orientated in the space before you begin — the car park being right outside makes this easy to time well.
Amazon Gym is based in Shropham, easily reached in around ten minutes from both Attleborough and Watton, with straightforward road access for members travelling in from the surrounding villages. The free car park sits directly outside the main entrance, so from arrival to walking through the door takes moments — there's no long walk from overflow parking or need to navigate a multi-storey. For anyone visiting for the first time, this makes the gym easy to find and simple to get to, without the usual hassle that can come with visiting a new gym.
Whether it's your first visit or a regular part of your weekly routine, the facilities at Amazon Gym are there to make training straightforward: free parking on your doorstep, proper changing facilities with hot showers and ample lockers, accessible entry for all members, and small essentials on hand at reception if you need them. It's all designed so the only thing you really need to think about once you arrive is your session.
On your first visit, consider calling up ahead of time to try and book an induction. However, if you feel confident with the kit already, feel free to turn up within our opening hours and park right outside. Then come in and feel free to ask our friendly staff on the desk for anything you need help with.
"AMAZON GYM WAS A GREAT PLACE FOR ME TO TRAIN BEFORE WORK, AS I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO GET A HOT SHOWER AND FRESHEN UP"
On your first session to the gym, bring the essentials. Breathable clothes, a water bottle or sports drink and a towel if you are considering showering after. We promote the wiping down of equipment before and after usage. However, we supply the microfiber wipes for this for each member, which can be disposed of at the end of each visit, keeping the gym a happy, healthy place.
