The Gym Group Bournemouth

Generally I like The Gym Group but I’m so unhappy with my home gym at Bournemouth that I’m considering moving to Puregym just because of it. The cardio kit (the oldest I’ve seen at ANY on the many branches I’ve visited) is so old & clunky - not good for older members trying to keep mobile through injury and arthritis. Bournemouth also has poor hygiene - the male changing rooms often reek of urine. The Bournemouth gym manager is unresponsive to constructive criticism & negative feedback and disengaged entirely from the conversation. Other than Bournemouth I would give a 4 star rating. My other gym I use often at Streatham is pretty good with a friendly environment and kit is rarely broken. I like the flexibility to use other branches nationally and I’ve generally found the facilities pretty good. Bournemouth lets the side down badly. I have to use that one regularly whenever I visit my elderly dad.
