A scarcity of equipment. One squat rack and only 3 benches for example. The place can get pretty packed as well, even on weekends. If you can only go at peak times, you won't get on any equipment, so this isn't the gym for you.

The equipment they do have is outdated and a bit run down. For what you pay (£22) you can do much better. Pure Gym for example, is cheaper and you get a lot more: Modern equipment with a plethora of options.

In summary, the gym is in bad need of more investment.

Staff seem friendly enough though, and the place is kept quite clean, which is why I didn't give one star.

Made the mistake of visiting this gym for the first time during rush hour and wasn’t what I’d expect it to be. First of all the entry and exit system didn’t make any sense to me but staff was helpful to assist me.

Secondly the gym is so small that I didn’t get to use anything I actually wanted to use as it was so packed. I am mixed race and felt like an outcast as everyone kept staring at me which made me feel very uncomfortable so will not be visiting this gym again. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who doesn’t like a crowded and muggy space to train.

Sorry but there needs to be more diversity in this place.

I could already see from the photos how small and dated the place was, but decided to join to see if maybe it was better than what the photos portrayed.
It’s not. It’s actually worse. The equipment is more than just dated, is rusty, noisy (stationary bikes), with part missing (of the bikes present only 2 had computers). The functional area is too small and ill equipped, not even a sandbag in sight.
And last but not least, the lockers. I’m not even sure I understand how they work. Am I supposed to pay to lock my stuff? That’s absolutely laughable.
You pay £24 a month, for a sad excuse of a gym and can’t even use the lockers without paying.

It’s a conveniently placed gym but As a female, I don’t feel too safe in their changing rooms. Men clean these facilities and the main doors are just left open! They usually clean at the end of the day but its usually busy at that time because they are only open till 10!!? At 6am its quiet it’d be nice if they did it then and respected women’s privacy at busier times. The shower curtains fall off spontaneously which is scary.. would really appreciate a review of hours and facilities.

Been going here for a few years- it's well equipped and the staff are usually helpful. Can get a bit busy at certain times but if you are OK with that it's not an issue. There's a mixed bag of users so people at a variety of stages can feel comfortable. There are occasional A- holes, but they tend to turn up at predictably busy times. Most of the members are fine and just mind their own business.
