How the scores work

Rating is the gym’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, set against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so 4.5 from hundreds of people counts for more than 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects whether customers are still leaving reviews.
