Defence Lab Isle of Wight - (Near , UK)

Ellie Jenkins I’ve been a member here for a year and I love it. However in my opinion the children’s times are too long, 6 hours in the day on Saturday & Sundays seems like too much, especially when you close early. I have to avoid these times because it’s packed with too many kids running around and jumping into the pool. I wish there were more hours dedicated for adults to have nice calm swim.

Vikkiee Bennett This facility in the hotel in open until 10pm. We cant fault this pool, when we went we were the only people in there so had the whole place to ourselves. The pool is shallow enough to touch the floor at both ends so much safer for children & nonswimmers like myself. The hottub was lovely too, only downside is the staff have to turn it on from behind their desk so you may have to wait until they see you in there or go find someone. The Sauna & Steamroom also really great. At the time we visited, the showers in the changing rooms had no hot water buy we simply showered on our rooms before & after instead, complimentary towels are always offered to hotel guests, simply ask at reception.

Tony Payne Went here for the first time this morning and its a really good place for the little ones to play. The play area is fenced off and there are loads of different toys for them to use, requiring minimum supervision from parents. There are plenty of tables outside of the play area and some have couches which is more comfortable than a hard chair if you are going to be there for a couple of hours. Everything is clean and the staff are lovely and friendly. Food and drink is available if you want. I highly recommend it if you want to keep small children occupied, especially if its a wet day.

Nikki Bedford I joined Anytime Fitness back in October! I really enjoy training here. The equipment is excellent and well maintained, and there’s plenty of variety whether you’re lifting, using machines, or doing cardio. The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming, the members are friendly and the team are consistently supportive and approachable. As a woman, I’ve felt intimidated in the weights section at other gyms, but here everyone is so helpful and respectful that I just walk in and train without a second thought. It truly feels like a space where everyone belongs. A great gym with a strong community feel.

Helen Eadie I can’t speak highly enough about Aro Kickboxing and the incredible experience my daughter has had with Jason as her instructor. From the very first session, Jason’s passion for teaching and his ability to connect with the students stood out. My daughter has not only developed new skills but has also grown in confidence, focus, and discipline, all while having a great time. Jason’s teaching style is both engaging and empowering. He makes each lesson challenging yet fun, and my daughter looks forward to every session. His patient approach, combined with clear and motivating instruction, creates an environment where kids feel encouraged to push their limits without feeling pressured. The classes are well-structured and cater to different skill levels, ensuring that each child gets the attention they need to thrive. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about his students’ progress and well-being. My daughter has learned so much, not only in terms of kickboxing techniques but also in terms of respect, perseverance, and teamwork. I would wholeheartedly recommend Aro Kickboxing to any parent looking for a martial arts program that is both high-quality and inspiring. Jason’s expertise, combined with the positive atmosphere he cultivates, makes this a fantastic choice for any child looking to develop physically and mentally.
