Fantastic experience: Staff very friendly and easy access
Positive experience: Took my grandaughter to Little bear feet she had lots of fun
Positive experience: Nice little library.
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.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities..and excellent staff as well
Positive experience: Good location but for parking, no marks. You need to park at Morrisons Parking
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.

Positive experience: Used as a gym with CrossFit box in the centre. Nice range of equipment.
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.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff and excellent facilities. I use the gym and classes regularly. The instructors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and make sure you get the best from every class.
