Positive experience: Needs alot of improvements. For a start taking control of the newly installed EV chargers which can never be used because they are always occupied by NON EV cars! Regular football goes and residents all using these spaces as casual free parking with no penalty!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the gym here for about 18 months now. It is a small gym, but it has good equipment following a recent upgrade. As a female weight trainer I have never felt intimidated in this gym at all. Everyone is super friendly, from the staff to fellow gym users. I would recommend this place.

Dillan Bartlett 5 years ago

Positive experience: I visited for my badminton club I work at and the hall we were in was good, but it only had four courts and the club is rather large now, meaning we have to have more than 4 children on a court. The hall can also be quite echo-y but I could easily talk over the noise

Alicja Rose 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently went to use the local gym at Birchwood and I was very surprised by the quality of induction I was given. The instructor, I think his name was Pav taught me how to use the equipment and was very attentive and made sure I have good technique. I was feeling anxious at first but he put me at ease. I didnt use gym for a long time so it was just what I needed.
