Lovely space but needs to swap some of the many idle treadmills with any other strength equipment that would encourge more people to exercise better or come more often.

It's very good but it's lacing space

I mainly come here for pre season cricket nets with my team. But ever since the floor was changed in the sports hall the experience of training is really bad because the ball doesn't even bounce as high as it used to. This is why I have given 2 stars.

New update: this centre is for school students only now, this is what I've heard, so phone them and double check.

Old review:

Conclusion: Good for cardio and average body fitness/build but not for professionals.

30 per month for 16+ and £12 for <16. This is for only this gym payment which you need to apply in person; however, in case you need access to Fusion services elsewhere then it costs more and you apply online.

Tip: You can get 2 months free at Christmas for 1 year reg. Also, invite a friend and get 1 month free after 3 months if that friend has kept h- membership.
update: we did not get an invitation bonus

Pros
Staff are polite and friendy
Good air accommodation
Spacey free car park. However, "Caution:" this gym is located within a school property, hence no available parking space at school time. Also, it closes between 2 to 4 pm at working days not to mention it closes every day around 10:00pm and 8pm during the weekends.
Lock your bike on sight as it happened and my headlight got stolen.
Get yourself a good medium lock to save your belongings.
There is a bathroom and a dressing room.
Drinking water fountain and container filler
