[Andru Chappelle](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103653064821265535874/reviews) ★★★★★

I go to this sports centre regularly, it's not the worst place, but there's definitely room for improvements. The locker rooms are too small for the amount of people that use the place, and a lot of the lockers don't even work. The cleanliness could be improved in general also, including the gym itself and the sauna. The people who work there generally are helpful and pleasant in my experience, but they definitely need an upgrade in some areas

One of the coolest gyms in Cambridge. Also, would like to say many thanks to Melis as a great PT. He helped me to lose 15kg of pure fat within 2 months and gain some muscles. Always the best training sessions created by personal conditions of the body and the aims you need. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Generally always pleased with my experiences in the gym here. Often it's not too busy, machines are available, and help at hand. The people at receptions are always kind and helpful! The lockers can be a little tricky to work, so don't hesitate to ask for help.

We've had bad experience repeatedly with the Sports Centre. Extremely inefficient and rude staff and management. They do not set up courts on time, are not consistent with their rules and management, and most of the reception staff are extremely rude and unreasonable when things need to be sorted out. The courts are dirty and disorganised almost always. I would definitely *not recommend*.
