The Gym Group Reading West

There are only two StairMasters and one hip abduction machine, so be prepared to wait—especially during peak times. In fact, it always seems busy no matter when you go. I’ve tried mornings and lunchtimes on weekdays, and there’s usually a queue for the machines you need. As others have mentioned, the hygiene facilities could really use improvement. The women’s toilets only have foam soap, and one of the dispensers doesn’t work properly—it barely dispenses anything. Of the three toilet stalls, only two have working locks. The third has been broken for ages and still hasn’t been fixed. If you can afford a better gym, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. I’m counting down the days until my membership ends so I can move on.

They say the manager decided to just block entire male locker room, showers and toilets by making it impossible to enter by any and all members because someone lost a jacket they left in the common space. What an invasive and intrusive management… giving me warnings like this… he must have full metal jacket movie regime membership. Treating us like this instead of putting signs up saying “a jacket thieving b. is at large” and watching the cctv to narrow down suspects.
