There is a small sauna and steam room that is allocated to males / femails on certain days.
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.
Decent equipment, not too busy, free parking, good value for money.
Clean.
Large sauna & steam rooms.
Cons:
Tropical Shower half broken - just needs some simple maintenance - De-Calc of heads and repairing lights.
Powerplate broken.
Many lockers broken .
