3 /5 Liam: After being a member of this gym for over a year, Ive noticed both its strengths and areas for improvement:
- The staff here are very friendly, always greeting you when you arrive or around the gym. They make everyone feel welcome.
-The gym is rarely crowded, which means you can train comfortably at any time of the day.
-New equipment has recently been added, which is great.
-Free parking on site.
However, there are a few concerns that members often discuss:
-The overall cleanliness is very poor, particularly in the changing rooms. There is a very unpleasant odour and they are not kept clean as they should be.
-Some of the machines and benches are quite dated and held together with tape or DIY fixes.
-Many of the mirrors are either broken or in need of a clean.
-The cardio equipment is also outdated, and theres a lack of variety.
-The dumbbells are worn, with their weights marked in white pen, and some have handles secured with black tape.
-Lastly, a recent email announcing a £7 monthly price increase has led several members to cancel their memberships. While the gym is reasonably priced, anything over the standard price of £29.99 a month seems steep given its current condition.
Overall, my experience at the gym has been positive, thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and the recent addition of new equipment. However, the gym is in desperate need of refurbishment and most importantly to address the cleanliness issues.
