Piers Storey 10 months ago

Negative experience: Ask them to make sure the gate is open on the 3 g every week to retrieve balls that go over fence and every week it's locked . After the response I stress that we ask every week and it doesn't get opened !! And yes 1 star is deserved cause it completely ruins the experience . Will be 4/5 once this issue is fixed

Sorry that you have had to ask to get a gate opened and that you feel that all of our facilities deserve a 1star review because of this. I will feed this back to staff. Please can you let us know what night you use the pitch and what booking you are part of?

Negative experience: Came in, paid £5 for a day pass, ten minutes later I'm told that they're closing cos there's a PE lesson with the attached school and they need the space. I was told I couldn't have my money back. The gym is fine, it's got the basics, but it's not reliable unless you know the timetables. I travel a lot so it's no good for me. It would be fine if I were reimbursed but that's what earned it one star.

Hi Steve, Im sorry to read that you have had a bad experience. I fully appreciate that this situation wasn't dealt with correctly. Firstly you should have been told upon arrival that we were due to close and secondly you should have been given a full refund. I do understand that you were offered a free session though which wasn't mentioned in your review. Our gym is owned by the School and they do use it for what totals less than 4 hours per week. During this time, for obvious safeguarding reasons members of the community are not permitted to use the facilities and mix with the students. These are displayed on the main door and the gym door. We will of course give you a full refund and also we're happy to still give you a free session in the gym aswell to apologies for the lack of communication. Please contact us on 0191 4274055 or pop back into Reception. Ashley (Sports Centre Manager)
