We pulled the live Google rating and review count for all the gyms across Thurrock, including Grays, Tilbury, South Ockendon and Stanford-le-Hope (checked 4 October 2026), ranked on rating first and review count to break ties. Every figure below is real and correct at the time of writing. Nobody paid to be on this list, and ratings move, so a quick check before you go is worthwhile.
How we ranked them: highest Google star rating first, ties broken by number of reviews. 6 of these have fewer than 50 reviews, so they are listed after the better-evidenced ones.
