Michael Inman 5 years ago

Positive experience: It's reasonably well equipped sports centre, that has tried to keep up with the times and in doing so it's sort of succeeded but having said that it has its problems as well, there's very little on site parking and what there is isn't very well sign posted, both access points to the site are very poorly lit one of which is down some fairly slippy steps if it's wet the other leads from the nearest public carpark but again is very poorly lit. It does have on site facilities to host children's birthday parties with a really well equipped activity area with ball pool, slides, and climbing ropes but it lacks in not having a cafe only vending machines, theres no swimming pool there as that's based approx 1.5 miles away which has always seemed a little daft, but for keep fit and gym work it's perfectly adequate

Stadiume Hott 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been using these facilities for most my life, always had a wonderful time visiting here. My Grandmother also said it was a wonderful place to work. It's not the biggest place but it has always been super fun for me. I've not been in a while but practicing in this place played a small part in developing myself as a much Footballer. Loved this place. Will revisit someday. Recommended.

Positive experience: It's a place to train I suppose. The gym is an odd shape - long and narrow. This means that bros step over the bar, in front of you, right behind you etc etc when doing anything with a barbell. The bars are utter trash, with the bearings stiff in most of them. The discs are a mish-mash of brands and there's no order to them, with most strewn about the gym. There's also only a handful of full-sized discs. There's mirrors everywhere, and no way of squatting facing the other way if that's your preference. However, they've got a few decent machines. The leg press is great! And they've got the usual bro-specific stuff if you're hitting up some hypertrophy stuff. Weirdly, they have a decline bench but no incline bench. It's quite steep for drop-in sessions, however this seems to be the norm across the UK.

Michael Jackson 9 years ago

Negative experience: Fantastic venue only let down by very poor car parking. £35 a month for a membership and top of that £ 70 a month for car parking (£3.50 for 3h 5 times a week) absolute joke.

Hi Michael, it's great to hear that you like the centre. Unfortunately car parking is out of our control. I believe that many people do use Morrison’s car park which is free for up to two hours. Thank you for your feedback.
