4.2/5 (50 Reviews)
Paul Barba Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: The reception is courteous. The pricing is very reasonable. The court is clean and not dusty. The basketball hoops are a bit too bouncy... The side wall basketball boards are bouncy too and there is a bit of gap for a layup and not worrying too much to slam against the wall. The half courts sides are decent in size. The mens changing rooms are good and do not smell. (I do not know about the gym, i never used it)

Aashish Nair Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great affordable place to work out with almost all the equipment and amenities.

Paul Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Staff continuously time and time again close the premises before the set closing time. Today for example Friday 17th May the staff has locked up 1 hour before it was supposed to. Really frustrating seeing as the opening times for this gym are already not that flexible.

Hi Paul, Last admission is an hour before closing. This is stated on our website and at reception areas. Thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic experience: Nice place for covid test!!! For other stuff, I have no idea.

M L Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: An absolute fortune for room hire and charging the uni's sports club too much. They don't have enough money as it is and they're expected to pay a lot for something that should be given to student sport at a fair and reasonable price.

John Watt Published on Google 6 years ago

Alex Hammond Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really helpful staff

Lorna Barton PhD MSW Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, cheap as chips and great facilities. Cleaning of the showers and general gym has declined since the uni made most cleaners redundant...but it is still worth the money.

Jonathan MacDougall Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: A fine establishment

Nicolas Oviedo Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Very big facilities with a large variety of sports. I only used the gym and the machines on first floor were new and sound, enough variety. I could use it as one off paying less than £5

Kofi Osafo Published on Google 7 years ago

F. M. D___ Mario Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Good place to workout

Blair Fotheringham Published on Google 7 years ago

Negative experience: I went here to watch my wife play a roller derby game. The place looks to have reasonable facilities plus the hall that the match was played in. The staff i encountered were pretty friendly too. Downsides? No dedicated parking and zero baby changing facilities in the building, I had to change my son on a chair in the disabled toilets

Andy Gill Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Good facilities

Gregor Watson Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place in a Central location. Close to train and bus services plus there's plenty of parking nearby which is free on Sundays. Love the Sunday morning roller skating/rollerblading sessions there from 10:30-13:00. Suitable for all levels and instruction and skate hire available too.

Rosaleen O'Brien Published on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: Reasonably priced with a good-enough quiet gym and a range of classes (spin, yoga, Pilates). I hear quality of classes can be variable. Probably best for anyone looking to squeeze in some more exercise before/after work or at lunchtimes. Wouldn't be my first choice for leisure.

Philip Pitman Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: Dont expect much from the gym; for cardio etc its well equipped, the gym however is poorly maintained and equipped; odd plates everywhere and bars are all in need of TLC. Ok for a one off if needed.

William Published on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent fitness center, highly recommended.

Ilaria Trifoglio Published on Google 9 years ago

Positive experience: Gym is well equipped and clean but there's a problem that has been bothering me since last year: IT'S FREEZING

Martin Orr Published on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Try Skating every Sunday 10.00 till 13.00 Fantastic club, well worth giving it a go!

Ross Taylor Published on Google 9 years ago

Negative experience: Poor gym facilities for the cost. Not worth it. Xercise4less nearby has better and more equipment at a lower monthly cost.

Thomas Zere Published on Google 9 years ago
