Negative experience: I'm very disappointed with the service provided by the manager and deputy manager at the university gym. I've been a customer for years and have always received great service, but recently there have been issues. The manager falsely accused me of something and used it as a pretext to suspend my gym membership, which had been free for years due to my basketball trophies. The customer service representative and deputy manager assured me on multiple occasions that I didn't need to add funds to my membership card because I had credit, but after a year and a half, they suddenly claimed they needed payment. Overall, this experience has been very frustrating and I don't recommend using the university sports gym due to their lack of understanding and poor management. Make it more detailed I am extremely dissatisfied with the service provided by the manager and deputy manager at the university gym. Despite being a loyal customer for many years, I recently encountered some serious issues with their conduct. The manager made false allegations against me, leading to the suspension of my long-standing and complimentary gym membership, which had been granted due to my history of winning basketball trophies. Despite being reassured by both the customer service representative and the deputy manager on multiple occasions that there was no need to add funds to my membership card because I had credit, I was suddenly informed after a year and a half that payment was now required. This entire situation has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I strongly advise against using the university sports gym due to their lack of competence and mismanagement

Negative experience: Horrible gym, had to ask for refund. They pick and chose wich rules to apply and to who. The staff always picked on me and let everyone else do what they want. They are discriminate and irrational. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Positive experience: Small and doesn't have a broad variety

Thomas C 5 years ago

Positive experience: Good value gym, open at convenient times and never terribly busy. Probably the cheapest in the Hendon area. Equipment is varied and well kept but the space itself is very small and crammed with very little natural light. Coaches are generally nice and friendly but the main issue is the crowd that go. If you go at a more abstract time you see the regulars who are always happy to chat but if you go at peak times for the students you get a lot of unfriendly and sometimes even aggressive lads who make working out a very unpleasant experience. There is also a distinct lack of rule enforcement in particular the wearing of appropriate footwear. Many walk around the free weight section barefoot / socks which is not only unhygienic but dangerous. Changing facilities are reasonably well kept apart from the showers which have insufficient drainage meaning stagnant water collects making it unpleasant unless you are the first in in the morning.

Carlo del mazo 6 years ago

Negative experience: Edit post covid: 1 hour 25m maximun time working out policy. They don’t reply emails neither return money, I got subscription before covid and next week closed and been wanting to get my money back as they changed policy and they don’t reply anymore. Not worth it anymore, go somewhere else to train in peace. A shame because was a closer the location, moving to another one without this policy.

Ricky Fox 7 years ago

Negative experience: Small but good equipment. Never too busy. Staff are fine. My main problem is they have a ladies only hour twice per week. Not a section of the gym. the entire gym. I can train 3 days out of the week and on two of those they have a women’s only hour during the peak times of the morning. Meaning I can’t properly use the equipment. The gym during these times has under a dozen women in. Just corner off a section. This is sexist. Literally using quarter of the equipment. Why is their no men’s hour? I enquiried about this and apparently it’s tradition and Because of certain cultures - but again his is wrong because certain cultures the men also wouldn’t mix therefore to be fair there needs to be a men’s only hour. Also tradition? Next they’ll have slaves here and blame it on tradition. In a world we live in now I find this terrible annoying. Gym on its on is fine though :-p 3.5 stars for the gym.
