The reason I have given quite a low rating is that the gym itself looks in pretty bad shape aesthetically and the staff members could easily be more welcoming. I think the gym has been open for roughly a year or so and I had presumed that their introductory offers were to get members in while they put the finishing touches to the place, but apparently not.
The roof in the stairwell to the upstairs leaks and there are numerous holes in various walls - some of which have been filled in a less-than-professional manner. The walls in the mens' changing rooms are just exposed boarding which I think most other places would paint; and the sauna doesn't seem to be operational despite the length of time the gym has been open for.
There are also always at least 2/3 items of equipment which are 'Temporarily Out of Order'. The issue with this being that 'temporarily' seems to equate to at least 2 weeks.
Overall, yes you can have a decent workout at a very reasonable price and I understand that people don't go to the gym for the mood lighting and sleek, clean lines, but I'd rather pay an extra £5-10 a month for a better experience (which I will be doing after my contract expires).
My friend referred me to this gym - cheers(!) - and it took 3/4 emails and numerous conversations with the staff before he received his £1 a month discount on his own membership too.
Rude staff that clearly don't want to be there: the manager especially has a bad attitude, for example, when I asked to cancel the contract their system was not working, which is fine and I understand this, but I then asked whether I can leave my details. He said - and I quote - "you can if you want".
this was said implying that yeah sure leave your details but I'm not going to do anything, perhaps he was too busy playing pokemon at the desk. After 6 attempts to cancel the DD including multiple promises that this has been done from at least 3 staff, it was still not cancelled so direct debit should be cancelled yourself or these leeches will keep taking your cash.
There is lots of equipment here all of which has not been cleaned since opening, showers are dirty, no lockers in changing rooms, personal trainer that kicks you off machines aka little man syndrome ~ you know who you are.
Holes in walls everywhere, broken machines that are never fixed, full of 90's rude boys, leaky roof that drips water on steps insurance claim waiting to happen there. In short the place is awful but it's cheap I suppose. DO NOT JOIN.
Also forgot to add I refered a number of people and they claim to discount you £1 for everyone that you refer. They make it such a faff with again false promises from staff that things will be changed .
Super cramped in there as too much equipment in one place and also very dingy lighting in the downstairs room.
All in all pretty terrible experience.
I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who wants to use proper equipment!
It may have quality equipment but that's standard for a gym. The service speaks volumes for me.
I strongly advise to never take a long term contact anywhere! Especially here! As soon as your tied into being a customer you will be treated badly because they don't need to care about customer service to get you to come back. I really would be baffled as to why anyone would take out along term contract here.
