Zap Fitness 24/7 Mowbray

I've been a member since January and I've been here a lot. It was a great gym, but now not so much. 1) You use to be able to get in via a key tag, but now the only way to get inside of the gym is via phone access which I have to buy data just so I can access the gym or it won't work. The membership is already expensive without having to pay for data just so I can access the gym I already go to. 2) I'm not sure what's going on with the vending machine, but it's been empty for months. This gym needs an upgrade like the one Kings Meadows got. 3) The window frosted seals have been removed. There's now no privacy for members and it's potentially dangerous as bystanders can now stare at you from their cars at the lights and pedestrians can stare at you while walking past. It's made it all that much easier for people to stalk you and make you feel uncomfortable. The last thing I want to do when doing painstaking exercises is to be watched by onlookers near by, that's almost akin to getting watched by someone while your in the shower, just no privacy.

Original; My sons have used this gym for almost a year. Initially the gym was good. However the gym management made a decision to change key tags. I've read the generic responses on these reviews and whilst they claim that they've gone completely digital that isn't the case. They still give keys to selected members and goodness knows what the criteria is for being given one. This also has NOT stopped non members entering the gym and using the facilities. There are a couple of people who go there and regularly preach religion to members and use amenities. They just enter the gym with other people who are members. Also one of my sons is a vulnerable person and doesn't always have a carer with him so the removal of the privacy film on the windows has made him really uncomfortable. He's starting to look at obtaining a membership elsewhere. If you want the place to seem more friendly, put a smiley face on the window! As for the vending machine, that's an ongoing issue and management has been informed on a number of occasions. Their solution was to remove the product and leave the broken machine there. Edit (reply); a typical, head in the sand response. As if security would arrive in an instant, that would take HOURS! And read other reviews for not only for this Zap Fitness but others - people (particularly women) are very uncomfortable about being exposed to the general public, some feel unsafe and they don't feel like they should be put on display to promote your gym. One could even argue that this breaches your contracts with members. And regarding the key; one of those mentioned does not own a smartphone and has been continually stuffed around trying to get a key!
