Fantastic experience: My partner and I trained at the workhouse before moving away. The gym itself is very clean. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the other members are super supportive. In my time using the gym new equipment was being added what felt like every other week with feedback taken on from members to provide the best training experience possible.

Negative experience: Beware of joining this gym - it seems trying to cancel your membership is impossible (I have been trying for almost 5 months!), they take upto 2 weeks to respond to each email & will keep sending you letters demanding money off you - even when you have given them the proof of address you have moved away from the area (is this even needed?!) which will give you the OK to cancel?! Communication was poor from the beginning of trying to cancel, they obviously don't read previous emails on your reasoning to leave the gym and just ask you for money. Also an extortionate joining fee for what reason?! I was lied to upon joining that it would enable me to cancel my membership at ease (no charges) after the first entitial 12 months - apparently not the case. I have been a member of multiple gyms and never experienced bad customer service like this.
Hi Hazel, sorry to hear about your poor experience. I would like to point out that all of the issues above seem to be relating to the direct debit company who handled the special offer that we put on in 2019 and are not issues with our gym or the staff themselves. I believe we have done what we can to help while you have been going through this process but unfortunately there is only so much power that we have in this particular situation. Thanks, Jordan

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean equipment and amazing staff. There’s not much else you need from your local gym. It really caters for all with a spinning studio, extensive cardio and a wide range of weights. Worth a visit to meet the lovely staff who are very helpful will show you round the entire gym and make you comfortable before a simple sign up process and away you go with fingerprint recognition. Really a great experience.

Really great facility and really supportive team working there.
