Amal A 1 year ago

Negative experience: The manager was very bad and rude, he did not respect our presence, only seven minutes after the party ended, he raised his voice loudly, ordering us to leave the building, he did not speak kindly at all, even when I stopped at the machine to buy juice for my child, he shouted at me loudly, a very disrespectful person, I do not recommend dealing with them anymore, and they were not cooperative at all. There are much better places to celebrate with children in a healthy atmosphere and environment with nice and respectful employees.

Peter Holden 2 years ago

Positive experience: Only use the gym and it's alright I guess

Kartikeya Walia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best option for students in Clifton, if you love to swim. Joint the Fitness+ and avail swimming, gym and health suite (sauna). It is £20 per month which is definitely worth it.

Fat Man 2 years ago

Negative experience: Update.. The cleanliness has gotten better over the past couple of months. Wipe your feet on the way out. This place needs a dedicated cleaner. Changing rooms are disgusting. Litterally never get cleaned. The walls and floors are filthy. Someone had a shave in the toilets and their hairs have been on the soap dispenser all week. Toilets are filthy. Broken cigarette paper been on the floor for over a week. Plenty of other debris on the floors for over a week because they never get swept or mopped. The gym equipment never gets cleaned either. I've been a member for years and it's always been the same. Only 1 member of staff ever came in the gym to clear away used tissues and wipes and take away empty bottles of water etc but he left during lock down. Just hire a cleaner already because it is gross.

Negative experience: The only people who have been working at reception were very helpful and friendly. Changing rooms and toilets were dirty

Zoe Hunt 2 years ago

Positive experience: The swimming pool etc is good. The gym isn't great, always grubby (especially the machines gathering dust), not enough room to warm up, the free weight area is too small (they don't have a squat rack) and in my personal opinion too many cardio machines. No one there to show how the gym can be used. Other users are very friendly though and staff are nice especially receptionist but there's just never any member of staff in the gym to help. A bit of change with cleanliness, manning on the gym, new equipment and change in layout and this could be a really good gym.

Melanie Powell 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attended a swimming party with my daughter whom enjoyed herself very much. As a non-swimmer felt confident enough in the group pool area with armbands and noodle floatie to try swim and she did for a few yards. Due to robust gymnastic training I have no time to let her have lessons, but she felt safe enough and confident enough to try anyway.
