3 /5 Tim Cooper: I had been a member here since it opened (2015 I believe). It has been one of several gyms I’ve frequented in that time period mainly due to convenience. Recently it seems to have gone somewhat downhill and I have revoked my membership.
My primary gripe was with the equipment not being properly looked after. Screws on benches very loose (when approached a member of staff about it she didn’t even have a sodding Allen key!), and upholstery not being repaired adequately.
If the franchisee is reading this you MUST ensure equipment is kept safe and tightly secured on a frequent basis, otherwise you will have a nasty lawsuit on your hands.
In addition, they bought one of those stupid V-squat machines instead of the proper hack squat that place was crying out for! I rarely saw anyone use it!
Finally, the general cleanliness of the gym is no longer up to scratch.
I have tried to be fair and objective here; if you are looking for an adequate space to train in Dorking it’s ok. But I no longer felt mine and my wife’s membership was worth it. And the safety issues must be addressed.
I hope the franchisee reads this and makes the necessary improvements to what could be a pretty decent gym.
Oh, and change that hateful playlist!
