First time using this gym
First time using this gym, I have used other gyms in the area. Online booking is ok but the app is a bit glitchy. There’s no way to contact anyone at the gym. I was told I’d get a phone call and it never happened. I’ve emailed the personal trainer and no response. I did my first class and not at any point did the instructor as if anyone was new or if anyone had any injuries they should be aware of. Luckily other members were helpful in explaining what equipment would be needed for the class as the instructor didn’t advise. The most concerning is the mats used for class are all rolled up and there’s no facilities to wipe them down after a class, so if someone is sweating and then the mat is rolled up it cannot dry and it’s not cleaned from the previous user. Other gyms provide wet wipes. Considering we are post pandemic you’d think they’d still have cleanliness as a priority, I wonder how often these mats are unrolled and actually cleaned. I’d definitely recommend bringing your own workout mat. I wish the app had more info as to what the class entails. Most of the class descriptions are written similarly so it’s hard to understand what’s involved. Everyone seems pleasant enough. It’s early days so will see what the rest of the place is like.

Hi Joanna,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your first visit.
We're pleased to hear that you found everyone pleasant and that other members helped make your first class a positive experience. However, we're sorry to learn that several aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations.
We understand your frustration regarding the issues you experienced with the app, the lack of follow-up communication, and not receiving a response to your enquiry. We're also sorry to hear that you felt more guidance could have been provided during your first class, particularly around class expectations, equipment requirements, and checking whether any participants were new or had injuries.
We appreciate your concerns regarding the cleanliness and maintenance of the exercise mats. Providing a clean and safe environment for all customers is extremely important, and your comments will be shared with the centre management team for review.
Thank you again for your honest and balanced feedback. We hope your future visits are more positive and that you continue to explore all the facilities on offer.
Warm Regards,
Hazal

Its just perfect
Its just perfect. Good equipment, very easy to use and very good environment. Would recommend to anyone looking for a gym with great facilities and people to. However the only thing I will complain about is the track facilities as there is almost nothing available there and just the track which is a bit upsetting as I would love to go there and be able to do a variety of events.

Incredibly angry that you’ve changed…
Incredibly angry that you’ve changed our membership terms and introduced payments for fitness classes that were previously free!! How is that good service? Yes, my wife and I have a ‘gym only’ membership, but why change it now? And without any notice. Not impressed!

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for getting in touch!
Having reviewed the account, we can confirm that when the membership was originally set up, this was purchased as a Gym Only Membership. Due to an error on our system, the membership had been incorrectly allowing access to facilities beyond what was included within this membership type.
We have recently corrected this so that the membership now reflects the Gym Only Membership originally selected when joining. We understand this may have come as an unexpected change and apologise for any confusion caused.
If you would like to continue enjoying full access at The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Centre, we would be more than happy to upgrade the membership to a Better Health Centre Membership for £37.00 per month. Alternatively, the centre team would also be happy to discuss the available membership options with you directly.
Please do let us know if you would like us to arrange this for you, and we’ll be happy to contact you via email.
Warm Regards,
Kaisha

Good afternoon
Thank you so much for your review.
We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying being back and have had a fantastic first two weeks at The Queen Diamond Jubilee Centre.
It’s great to know that our staff have been so helpful to you.
Fitness classes are very popular, and bookings open 7 days in advance. For example, if you want to book a Tuesday class, the bookings will be released at 10 pm the Tuesday before. We recommend jumping online right then to grab your spot.
You can also add yourself to a waiting list if a class you want is full, and we’ll send you an email if a spot opens up due to a cancellation.
We hope you continue to enjoy your membership!
Kind regards
Rachel
