Steve's Gym

Steve's Gym sits just outside Newton Abbot, a straightforward fitness facility that won't win any awards for atmosphere but does the job if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks and don't want to miss your training routine. It's a proper local gym - the kind where people actually work out rather than pose for Instagram. You'll find the standard kit: free weights, machines, cardio equipment. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy.

This is squarely for the fitness-focused crowd. If you're on a park holiday at Dornafield or The Smithy and can't face a week away from the gym, it's convenient enough at just a couple of miles away. Don't expect boutique classes or fancy shakes at a juice bar. It's functional, honest equipment in a functional space.

Admission details are thin on the ground - no website listed, so you'll need to ring ahead or ask at your caravan park reception. Opening hours aren't published online either, which suggests it's a local operation that doesn't rely on passing trade. Day passes for visitors are probably available, but don't assume.

Honestly? It's not a reason to book a Devon holiday. But if you're staying at Parkdean Resorts Torquay or one of the glamping spots nearby and you can't let your fitness routine slide, it'll keep you ticking over. Phone ahead before you pack your trainers.
