The gym is okay but fat too small and the sauna is a real disappointment. You can only use it on certain days, and I can't go in with my wife as it is men on some days, women on others. That probably appeals to some, but I will never use it as she gives me the confidence to do those sort of things. However, the badminton courts are the best for miles around, and free for members to use. I will keep my membership for badminton, but won't use any other facilities.

Nice small gym, very friendly and good equipment. It is always clean and with the sports hall available for activities it is great.

There is a small sauna and steam room that is allocated to males / femails on certain days.

I went in today and wanted to join the gym but I was absolutely disappointed by the environment .firstly they did not had a sufficient play list of songs and there were some kids in the gym and suddenly a song come up which made one of the stuff up and running towards the a little laptop one the corner to switch to a more acceptable song!!!!! this was not the end of story. I had to change a few treadmills and all were shuttered .one touch screen was not working the other one push button. And to my absolute disappointment sauna was not at all proper there was no seat outside the sauna and steam room and if you stay inside them you would not get warm like you do in other local gyms. They were really making me as warm as running.so I hope they fix their problems because that s not worth it for 20 quid.at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice gym, all the equipment you could ever need. Been going there a while and I've never been short of things to do. Definitely recommend the gym and personal trainer sessions.

Previously rated this 5 stars but that's all changed.
The touch screens on the running equipment is a lucky dip in regards to what setting you get, been like that for months, the gym staff nod politely but nothing happens.
The showers stink, all it would take is a bottle of bleach down the shower traps over night once a month but that would involve taking action so that's not going to happen.
The toilets and showers are a joke, who ever designed them needs to go back to crayons and colouring books and steer clear of any design related tasks.
You quite literally have to back yourself in to a cubicle, turn 45', breath in and if you're less than 9st wringing wet you might just get the door to close.
The steam room stinks of mould. The sauna is about the only part of that area that a. Doesn't stink, b. Works.
The showers are on push button timers that only last for 3-5 seconds, the water is so hot that you sweat just as hard coming out of the shower as you do in the gym.
The tropical and rain fall shower in the steam/sauna area is a trickle of water, all it would take is for the shower nozzles to be soaked overnight in a descale solution, told the gym staff but nothing happens.
The lockers are always taken... Which is really strange as you can go into the gym and there will be 6 people in there yet nearly all the 50+ lockers are taken... How does that work?
In the summer the changing room is like a sauna, no air circulation and no way to open the windows as (back to the designer with his crayons) no one thought to put opening windows in a male gym changing room.

Really is a poor run down gym, with zero maintenance on the equipment or facilities.

It’s a college gym that is open to the public for a few hours per day. £ it casts the same as everlast intro price £20 but without the pool and jacuzzi. But as I say it’s a student gym. Personally it’s fine for me. I take it for what it is. They could do with cleaning it more than once per week but apart from that, it’s fine. Get your workout in and get a steam or sauna, grab a nearly warm shower and leave it at that. The staff are cool too but again…. Young people so young people issues. But I have young people who live with me so I’m okay with that too. No complaints from me
