One of the worst returns experiences I’ve ever had. Took well over a month of repeated chasing to get my money back. Two stars as clothing is typically of decent quality but unless you are confide... See more

Amazing products and service for over 5…

Amazing products and service for over 5 years of using them. I have used Machine Fitness for a long time now and absolutely love their products. Great value and quality, i have even got my partner some of the leggings and she loves them! I would strongly recommend the new agile t-shirts, i wear them every time at the gym now.

I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID…

I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID ORDERING FROM MACHINE FITNESS

I made two separate orders for two t shirts, and returned both via recorded delivery, following the returns instructions on the Machine Fitness website.

I received confirmation from my chosen courier that my parcel had been delivered to Machine Fitness on 25/4.

I emailed Machine Fitness on 26/4 to request the status of my return/refund. I was informed that the Returns Team would be in touch once my return is processed, and that returns usually take 3-7 days to process.

11 days since receiving confirmation from my chosen courier that my parcel had been delivered to Machine Fitness and having not heard anything, nor received my refund, I contacted Machine Fitness again on 7/5 to request an update on the status of my return/refund. It has taken them a further 3 days to respond to that email, and I have been advised that they will ‘check the status of my return with the Returns Team and get back to me very soon’.

It is now 17 days since I received confirmation from my chosen recorded delivery courier service that my parcel had been received by Machine Fitness. I have still not received any direct confirmation from Machine Fitness that my return has been received or is being processed.

Under the Distance Selling Regulations, customers must be refunded within 14 days of the returned goods being received. Needless to say I am now in the process of talking to Citizens Advice.

Never have I ever experienced this level of inadequacy from an online retailer.

There is a common theme amongst reviews of Machine Fitness. They all relate to issues regarding returns. 28% of reviews are 'bad', that's nearly a third. Here is another one. Avoid a headache and shop elsewhere.

*Update: 14/5*

In response to retailers reply

I emailed for a second time on Saturday 7th May, requesting an update on the status of my return for a second time. I didn’t receive a reply until Tuesday 10th May. Monday 9th May was not a bank holiday. The timeline of our communication is evidenced in our email
thread below. Your reply to my review is untruthful and inaccurate.

The only communication I received regarding the status of my return was in response to chasing it myself. Why didn’t somebody inform me that my return had been received / was being processed? Why didn’t somebody inform me that it may be delayed for whatever reason? There was no communication.

I returned items but received no form of a acknowledgement from you that they had been received. When I first requested an update I was simply informed that the returns department would notify me when it had been processed.

17 days elapsed between receiving confirmation from my courier that my items had been delivered to you, to my refund being issued. This is significantly longer than your estimated 3-7 days, regardless of bank holidays. And it is a long time to wait when no form of communication is issued letting me know what was going on.

My review is a fair, truthful and succinct account of my experience when returning items to you, why should I delete it? Your five star reviews are misleading otherwise. My experience was not five star.

Your urgency to rectify my issue was only apparent once I had informed you that I was seeking advice / having written my review.

I hope that this instance assists you in improving your returns process, notably the way in which you communicate with future customers that are returning items.

Customer refund was processed prior to us receiving this review and within 14 working days as per the regulations the customer refers to. The customer states we didn't reply to the emails, our customer service team replied within 4 hours during working days on all occasions. Promptly and explaining the process throughout each message. We have tried numerous times to reach out to the customer to discuss this review, with no reply or communication back from them unfortunately. We pride ourselves on our 4+ star rating and are working hard towards 5 stars and providing exceptional service for our customers.

These are the best pants—period.

These are the best pants—period. They are warm and soft, look great for guys with muscular quads and hammies, and the drawstring actually does it’s job and let’s me deadlift and squat without the pants riding down in the back. I have 2 colors, but I’ve worn out the first pair after 3 years so I need to order more.

Black sports bra

My friend recommended me to machine fitness as he always shops from them, so decided to try out the black sports bra, I have been so pleased with it! It’s honestly so comfortable, it gives a good amount of support with it feeling too tight. I would 100% recommended and I can’t wait to try out other items!
