The complex has decent facilities, but the fitness suite can get busy. It's not full of meat heads like some gyms but it certainly doesn't have a sociable atmosphere. It's cheap and cheerful, but the facilities are due an upgrade. I've never seen the staff cleaning the equipment and few people wipe down after use. The induction was very brief and cleanliness should be emphasised more. The showers are great, hot, clean, and have a decent flow! But the changing rooms can get dirty especially when there are sport events. The venue would benefit from having a couple of full time cleaners, or by asking fitness suite staff to clean equipment regularly. So... Cheap (for Durham) decent gym, but no classes and sometimes slightly unclean!

After joining the gym in October 2022 its now a place I look forward to going to 6 days a week, the place is clean, has modern equipment and a positive social atmosphere. The staff all have knowledge in different areas of fitness and are always happy to give advice or just have a chat. The gym does have very busy periods but it's manageable and most people are happy to work in. The staff run a variation of classes from boxersize to pilates which are fun and are as challenging as you make them. Cafe is fairly priced with a great range of hot and cold food and drinks including protien shakes, protien bars and cafe nero coffee. Showers are always clean, have consistent hot water and have good water pressure.
