Fantastic experience: I give 5 stars as I only been here once and it was for a cosplay event. It was a nice place and I think it's great there was a cosplay event held there. Should totally be more of that, since cosplay is becoming a big thing now.

MistaKay90 3 years ago

Negative experience: Only use the gym here, which is nearly there equipment-wise. Avoid during school holidays as there is only one squat rack and crews of actual children who, from what I gather, only do deadlifts (which you don't really need the rack for anyway?) Needless to say it's the first week of the holidays in and it's the third time I've had to cut my workout short because of kids taking the p*ss. Otherwise a good gym? Edit/ downgraded to a 1 star. Place is absolutely riddled with kids. Cannot get anything done. Membership cancelled.

Rory McFarling 3 years ago

Positive experience: I only use the gym. I don't feel there is a lot of machines here and it like everywhere is is full at peak times of young lads sitting playing on their phones between sets. Still it does the job and the staff are friendly enough.

Darren Foster 4 years ago

Positive experience: It's got pretty much everything you need for a decent workout apart from a calf raise machine. I can imagine it being a bit on the small side if you exercise in the evening. The exercise classes are pretty good as well.

M Bravey 4 years ago
