Positive experience: Good Basketball court
Negative experience: Very dirty changing rooms, please clean more often and educate people in keeping the place tidy
Fantastic experience: I am back doing circuit training with Maurice after the same class stopped at Willesden Sports Centre around 20 years ago; I remember the amazing session back then that got me fit! Good value for money too with the cost of living crisis. Shabba
Keep up the good work
Negative experience: Court was extremely slippery, couldn't really ball there.

Positive experience: Pay as you gym with lots of other keep fit programs through out the week
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, good resources and friendly people
Hi Lara many thanks, when do you visit?
Fantastic experience: Great place, great staff
Many thanks
Negative experience: Tried to book a badminton court and had to ring, email and text multiple times just to get a booking. I specifically confirmed this booking twice and when we turned up the court was double booked. No-one was there to shed any light on the matter and any calls weren’t answered. Waste of time.
Fantastic experience: We need more community run centres. Great place with friendly people.
Hi Evelyn, thanks for taking the time to review Charteris, very succinct!
Fantastic experience: Charteris is a gem of a gym and sports centre ! Although it is smaller, it has all the facilities you need, runs a good range of classes including a brilliant over 50s circuit training class on a Friday evening and an excellent Pilates class on a Sunday morning and its great for badminton too! It is also much friendlier and more relaxed than most sports centres and has a real sense of community about it. No monthly charges- just pay as you go, so you don't pay for what you don't use. Fantastic!

Hi Lorena, thanks and keep up the good work,
Fantastic experience: Charteris is a community spirited sports centre that caters for all ages. A wide variety of activities take place here from Basketball, Karate, Pilates, Zumba, over 50s and Personal training, The space is also used for children's parties and other group orientated activities. A great place to be involved in, with a price bracket that doesn't dent the pocket!.
Hi Stacey, thanks for this, keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: After retiring from work my Doctor diagnosed me with Type 2 Diabetes and prescribed medication (MetFormin tablets). He advised me to exercise and to lose weight. I joined my local Charteris gym and the free weekly Over 50s Keep Fit session where I received a warm welcome and made new friends. Charteris is a community-based not for profit centre run by committed and hardworking Director Lloyd and colleagues who have developed a popular programme of activities for a diverse neighbourhood. After 6 months attending Charteris my Doctor tested me again and found that my health had improved and that I had lost weight. He told me that I no longer had Diabetes and stopped my medication. I will continue to use the Charteris Gym and to attend the weekly Over 50s sessions as it helps me to keep fit, lose weight, improve my health and hopefully live longer!
Hi Donal, Many thanks for your kind words and for sharing your, I think, important, story. I will be joining you on Friday for the over 50's as usual.
Fantastic experience: Great people, fantastic facilities and a brilliant community sports centre.
Thanks Steve
Fantastic experience: Great sports hall and lots of different classes to attend in a personal /non commercial environment.
