Having read other reviews and being a regular user of this gym I had to add my comments. The good points - cost, some of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The negatives - some of the members are a problem with their disgusting habits. The changing rooms are too small and when busy it's not a pleasant experience at all. Too many members treat it like their own bathroom. I've seen people shaving at the sink in the toilets, trimming their beards and nostrils in front of the mirrors. Gross - where's the hair going? I don't go to the saunas, again there are members who think it's fine to use them wearing boxer shorts. I try to use the showers as little as possible, they often stink, and people make some weird noises showering. Best just shower at home if that's possible. In short the changing area merits a 1/5 score. They are gross and cramped. The gym itself is largely ok. As other reviews have stated there really should be some cleaning equipment. I saw the business response saying they were from covid. If your members want the option to clean equipment before or after use then you should accommodate that regardless, I think it's just a cost cutting measure that these are no longer available. Especially important considering numerous reviews question hygiene and cleanliness. The gym itself is a touch overcrowded. I don't dare go after 4pm as it's far too busy. I've spoke to other members who feel the same. Some equipment is under high demand. Some days it can be quite frustrating trying to use what you want to. Doesn't help when some staff and gym goers pair up using a machine then do 4+ sets. As at January 2025, there are getting to be too many people filming their workouts now. Again if it's not staff producing content for their Instagram (which I can understand to an extent) more and more regular gym users are doing this now too, it's getting a bit much. Does noone just workout and not film themselves these days? Lastly. Far too many gym users don't put equipment away after use. For example leaving benches at cables machines and squat racks for other users to have to move. Similar with weights, these are left all over the place, or everywhere except where they are supposed to be. Changing area is often soaked as sauna users walk barefoot thru changing room or do what the guy in picture is doing and cool off on the benches. Ends up with floor being wet and all the seats being wet. Recently changed the layout. Spacing of equipment has got worse. I should probably collect a wage from this gym from the amount of weights I have to find, return etc. Also worth noting - if you wish to cancel they ask for 30 days notice and will refer you to debt companies if you cancel the direct debit. You have to contact them by email and they are very slow to respond. I've contacted them twice and they will take at least 2 weeks to reply. Having said that I received a satisfactory outcome to my email request so that's one slight positive.

Hand dryer in the women’s toilet hasn’t been working for at least a month, if not more. Toilets are also always blocked or not working and there’s never any soap !!!! Feel like we were so hygiene aware during covid and this has disappeared again. During the height of summer there were absolutely no cleaning supplies, meaning that me and everyone else were leaving machines absolutely dripping in sweat with no means of cleaning them - and no it’s not hygienic to bring and use your own sweaty towel either. Blue roll and spray at multiple stations should be an absolute necessity.
