Spirit Health Club Within Holiday Inn

Negative experience: Nice facility. It’s disappointing that there isn’t a flexible option for business travellers. I’m in the area for up to a week at a time, but there is no weekly gym pass available. UPDATE I initially left a 3 star review, which in hindsight was generous. At the time of my visit, I found Shannon on reception to be rude and condescending. After making it very clear that there was no flexibility around membership options, she later attempted to call me to “follow up” and see whether I wanted to join. I used that call as an opportunity to give direct feedback about her behaviour and to express my surprise at being contacted to sell a membership after that interaction. I received what felt like a disingenuous apology. Some staff training is urgently needed.

Negative experience: Bigger than the normal hotel gym, with some classes and a pool. Popular with families whose kids are learning to swim. Weights room can fit about 3-4 people but then feels crowded. Good amount of treadmills. When not too busy it is nice to gym there. Ladies sauna has been out of order for about a month. Fix your unsubscribe function(!!). I have REPEATEDLY asked to be unsubsribed from all your emails, even with direct replies. This is absurd.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, pool and sauna for a reasonable price. Staff are always friendly and would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Ran my first class in Resistance Pilatchi yesterday in The Club Fareham-Solent for 30 Members. The members and staff were excellent and I really enjoyed teaching the members and receiving great feedback! Many thanks to Pippa who organised the event with post-exercise refreshments and has some faith in this exciting new mind-body concept! I look forward to continuing Resistance Pilatchi classes at The Club. Thank you!

Negative experience: I was disgusted. I am a disabled person. They have spent millions on doing up this gym and fitness club with not much thought to disabled people. The ladies changing room had a disabled toilet and a large disabled shower with seat etc. but when I went to the pool I couldn’t get in it! Both ends had ladders and no sloping steps entrance. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.this is the first pool I have been to like this. Come on management. Get into the real world!!!

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff, clean, parking, jacuzzi, nice swimming pool and sauna though a bit lacking on the gym machines, abs especially, maybe that's why all of us are just a bit more wide at the Equator at this gym

Fantastic experience: I have been using this gym for about 5 months years now. The staff and members are lovely and friendly. Our children have swimming lesson up there which are fantastic and I can see the gym improving all the time. I love being able to have the full bag, classes, gym, pool, jacuzzi, Sauna and steam room.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the staff. They are very friendly. Ben- mgr Szymon Kaine Harriett Carrie Nathan Pippa Lois They are all very friendly and nice to talk too. The address your concerns very quickly.

Fantastic experience: Love the pool!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service and gym. I cane out of rehan and the support I got from this place was a touch of class. Kane Ben Polly Nath Jamie just name a few are amazing. Im now 100 days sober and this place played a massive part. Thanks guys.

Positive experience: Just to be clear my scoring system: 1/ Don't go, just don't. 2/ I can't recommend going 3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back 4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited 5/ I enjoyed it, would invite/recommend others there myself It's unfortunately a standard hotel gym trying to be a 'proper' gym. Great for a one off work out and relax, but wouldn't be enough to join full time for me.

Fantastic experience: Went for a visit to look at joining. Staff were helpful, and the place seemed well run. Am going to try s group this week. I am very optimistic

Fantastic experience: Staff ate really helpful. Not usually too busy, equipments clean for what it is. Always phone ahead and check the facilities you would like to use are open though.

Fantastic experience: The club is great, with a wide variety of classes to suit everyone's needs. I cannot recommend Nathan's HiT class enough, after 30 mins you'll be sweating, out of breath and unable to talk. Each week the class is different and tailored to those in it. Nathan pushes you to your limits which is the best way to know what your body can do.

Fantastic experience: The Staff at Spirit really are Fantastic. Each of them go out of their way to create a really enjoyable environment. Their classes are always challenging and fun! They support individuals to reach their potential. Nathan's High Intesity classes are particularly fab. He pushes you to achieve more than you could alone. Going once a week, has helped me get my fitness back and given me confidence in the gym. The smaller class size feels like a PT session and he can go round individually to help and improve your form. Can't reccomend Nathan's HIIT classes enough! Never sweated so much whilst having fun! He will get you fit

Negative experience: On first visit was hit with a parking fine of £100. Not one staff member told me I had to enter my number plate at the desk. Now I have to got to court and they are unable to help me with evidence needed.

Fantastic experience: The facilities are fabulous, 15m swimming pool, gym, classes, jacuzzi and sauna. Lovely staff and good value for money. Has busy and quieter times as everywhere.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym facility with swimming pool and jacuzzi

Fantastic experience: Clean, tidy, lovely little gym and pool. Members and hotel guests only. Doing a sterling job keeping everyone as safe as possible during these uncertain times. Pre booking essential. Amazing team, helpful and friendly. Car parking available in hotel car park.

Fantastic experience: Always friendly happy people

Positive experience: An okay gym for what's it's worth . Although feel the membership prices are quite high for the quality of space or equipment available . But not the worse one I have been to .

Fantastic experience: Used the gymnasium and pool as a resident of the hotel and I must say it was very good quality. Small, as you would expect for a hotel gym but with plenty of equipment. 17 cardio machines and numerous 'Life Fitness' weight machines. Wasn't busy at all, but with a number of members coming and going which made it feel well used and friendly. The pool is not lifeguarded and very clean and the jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, while smaller, were superb. Would highly recommend if you are staying in the Holiday Inn.

Positive experience: Daughter has swimming lessons here, it's a nice pool

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym. Well run

Positive experience: Scruffy unhelpful staff, good facilities

Fantastic experience: friendly and easy to join in with ckasses and groups pool is warm

Fantastic experience: The facilities are great with a good sized pool, gym and studio. Lots of classes. Staff are fabulous

Positive experience: Nice faculties for gym members and hotel guests alike. Pool is situated with changing rooms one side and steam-room/sauna/jacuzzi on the other. Good gym, conducive to planned or all fresco workouts with weights room and dance studio close by. Staff are very friendly but too many changes recently has upset the smooth rythm it used to run with generating various degrees of discontent from some members. It works for me ........

Fantastic experience: Best one!

Positive experience: Improving Slowly.
