Nice January promotion. Gym is well stocked. However, too busy. Couldn't get near the equipment. Impersonal. Not very welcoming. Walked in and made it clear it was my first time as just joined.... See more

No anxiety
I've found my experience a good one. Staff are super friendly and very helpful, especially Ellie. No one stands and stares at you (members) they're very polite. I have anxiety and I feel really relaxed when I'm there.

Not good value for money
Many of the machines are out of order despite being newly refurbished.
Nothing is signposted eg there is supposed to be a sauna but there is no sign of one anywhere. There aren't many classes either.

The recent upgrade has given it a beautiful ambiance and some extra space and spread. This allows more people even during peak. Nice equipment that can allow varied workouts without having to wait for someone to finish.

Polite friendly experience
Customer service is good,, staff are helpful and polite only thing I would change at the moment is adding how busy it is to the app so people can tell if your going to be waiting for machines or if like myself you have social anxiety and get nervous in large crowds, gym group have this feature and I find it helpful the only thing I’m swayed from is jd has a better car park so I’m not worried about parking,, I’ll be making my mind up at the end of the month as to which membership I cancel

Not so Luxury Changing Rooms
Unless it is the very small print, I was completely unaware there were no lockable lockers in the “Luxury” changing rooms, on the first day I went to the gym, so walked straight out again and went looking for a suitably priced padlock to use on my next visit.

The gym is clean and well stocked with equipment it has everything I need for a work out .

5 days after joining and with the initial payment coming out of my bank account, I am still waiting for my membership details ( membership number etc) to be emailed, upon sending an enquiry ticket to customer services, I received a reply stating it will take up to 14 working days before someone looks into it, I’m sorry to say that I find this unacceptable and dismissive.
