Positive experience: Great facilities!

Cameron Jack Trayling 3 years ago

Positive experience: Managed to get a good deal for pay as you go membership. Equipment is in a good condition and there is enough space most of the time, as it is rarely busy. (At least before January) Only real issue is a lack of plates for barbells, and a missing 12.5kg set of dubbbells. Also some better music would be appreciated instead of the radio, like some heavy metal or classic rap.

andrew allende aguilera aguilar 6 years ago

Negative experience: We had our daughter’s birthday party here and the service was the worst ever! There were 5 “entrateiners” and all they care about was to kick us off as soon as possible!! Clearing plates away while people was still eating and rushing us all the time we were there!! Obviously in the confusion one girl forgot her jacket and between 5 of them they were not able to find it! Definitely we will never be back!

Fantastic experience: Great little gym that always seems to be nearly empty! I have the place to myself most mid mornings. Very affordable fees and they have classes daily to improve your fitness. Yoga was fantastic and includes deep breathing exercises to leave you very relaxed after the session. I recommend a session with trainer mike ward top notch

Anish Shah 8 years ago

Positive experience: Great facilities for a small and friendly leisure centre. There is a large pool for lane swimming and lessons and a small pool for kids also which is ideal. The gym is small but sufficient. There is also a large hall on the upper floor. This place is very hidden away and you need to go down a small road to the end for the entrance. Mostly the place is not good for general public use bit for classes and booked events.

Filip Dorobisz 8 years ago

Frederick 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good value for money

Jack Sandi-Edwards 8 years ago

Positive experience: Rly gd, just the bike machines and treadmills aren't accurate. The bike machines Said my ftp was 150 watts higher than it actually is, and the treadmills said that I ran 0.4km in 4 minutes, the time it takes me to 1km. All the other equipment is great though.
