## What visitors say

[Mr M](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103565093188488426740/reviews) ★★★★★

Tired gym with worn equipment in de Stafford and village sites. Changing rooms at all three sites are a disgrace, dirty floors, and broken lockers. Staff are friendly but never answer the phone, ever. And never seem to do any work on fixing the centres problems. Village has had a jucuzzi out of action for over a year. No water tap near sauna. Whole place is run with zero care about the facilities. The fact they charge the same as premium gym is a disgrace and only because there are no decent alternatives in the area.. If there were any competition and a new gym opened up, this place would be finished and closed within a year.

Decent local gym. Equipment gets very busy for the numbers of clients, especially the school children at times, so there's often a wait or you can't get on at all and have to do something else instead. There's often a broken machine or paper for wipedown has run out, so it's at max capacity I think. I would like to see it stay open later on the weekends like other gyms, the 4pm finish is quite early.

Not sure where the justification is for £7.75 a swim … pool smelt like wet faeces and urine. Changing rooms were dirty, not in the typical sense of a public pool, again permeating smells; cubicles that don’t lock; toilets that feel acidic. The reason I make these points is so management (if they read it) do not blame the staff, but actually put some of the outrageous prices back into the place to bring it up to a acceptable standard!

Staff are nice, but infrastructure is tired and or broken. Gym showers have been out of action for months.

People say this sports center offers a good range of free weights and exercise equipment, and has a decent pool that's good for kids' lessons.

Other reviews mention the facilities can be poorly maintained and changing rooms can be neglected.
