Lock Lane Sports Center: Opinions
Positive experience: Great Curry & Chips. A £3 bargain.
Fantastic experience: Great venue for a birthday party the room is a good size. The bar was in the right spot.
Fantastic experience: Plenty of machines get a good workout clean and tidy helpful staff
Negative experience: I usually go to the JD Gym at Xscape and have been doing so for the past two months without any issues. Today, I decided to buy a day pass for the JD Gym at Lock Lane since I was in the area. Although the facility is smaller, it has a sufficient range of machines. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience due to some of the other gym-goers. Almost immediately, I was approached by someone who began offering unsolicited advice on my form. Despite explaining that I had an injury and was comfortable with my routine, he continued to pester me, even when I put my headphones on to signal that I didn't want to be disturbed. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere, which I’ve never encountered at the Xscape location. Staff don't seem to care about this and treat it as normal. It's not a great environment at all. Based on this experience, I won’t be returning to Lock Lane.

Negative experience: I enjoy using the gym and facilities, staff are usually kind and helpful but I came into the gym recently with a lot of anxiety and scanned my card wrong a few times, the young girl and two older men at the desk just laughed together at me and mocked me as I walked away, can say it made me feel quite uncomfortable.
Hi MarcTech721, so sorry you felt uncomfortable on your recent visit, this was never anyones intent. As a not for profit community club we try to treat our users as friends not customers. On this occasion it has obviously backfired for which we apologise. If you would like to make yourself known to centre manager he would happily apologise in person for any inadvertant discomfort caused and discuss how this could be avoided in future.
