Equipment is relatively well maintained.
Can get busy at peak hours but hasn't stopped me getting on the things I want to use.
This wasn't a great start. The problem with these gyms being unstaffed is that you can't actually speak to anyone to resolve the issue and gain entry. You can't even phone them as they don't have a phone number. All you can do is email them and wait several hours for an answer, but why would you waste several hours waiting outside a gym for an answer to an email? Very impractical.
I then walked to the gym in Wandsworth Town which is the gym I had initially selected and fortunately gained access. I tried this gym out for three days and it also seemed like it was usually unstaffed. I at least managed to gain access and was able to exit the gym without much ado.
Although, needing a code to gain entrance and the gym being unstaffed didn't fill me with much confidence if the emergency services would need to gain immediate access due to needing a code to get in. If they did manage to get in by some quirk of fate, and needed to stretcher someone out then there's no way in a thousand years they'd be able to carry anyone out on a stretcher through those pods - even if they had a code.
I know they have their emergency leaver in case of an emergency, but they would still struggle to get in even if the emergency button worked properly.
From reading other reviews it seems like the emergency button has been used before and there was no help available.
For these reasons I would not recommend using this gym, even if it is somewhat cheaper than the competitors. The lower price comes at a higher risk!
