What visitors say

Honestly has the ability to an amazing centre, if you like Spin classes just forget it.. there was 14 bikes but as they are refusing the centre the bikes have been cut back to 11 bikes ? Another 6 months before they have the new spin classes. The ones now you are aloud to book 2wks in advance. Unless you have your phone glued to your face 24/7 you do not stand a chance.. the staff blame management.. there are constantly free bike because people don't turn up and can't be bothered to let the centre know. So other people miss out.. the centre know about this and apparently ment to fine none attendance £2.50, they never do.. unfortunately I have give up trying to book as its a ridiculous system. No doubt the response to this will be we are refurbing the and in time there will be more bikes... what about the ridiculous system you have now..

The swimming shower facilities really need improvement. They’re far too small for the number of children coming out after lessons, which leads to overcrowding. The floors often end up dirty because so many people are passing through in outdoor shoes, and the changing rooms themselves aren’t fully clean and have an unpleasant smell. Two of my children have also caught verrucas, which is worrying. That said, the swimming school itself is absolutely fine — the lessons are good and the instructors are great with the kids. It’s the facilities around the lessons that need attention.

Quality gym with quality equipment. Recently refurbished gym, not large, but it has everything you need and it doesn't seem to get busy. Also two recently refurbished studio rooms too.
