Great gym, with some improvements I’d love to see
Great gym, friendly staff and good range of equipment. I usually go during the quieter times so theres never any issue with it being too busy and not being able to use equipment etc which is great. I make use of the upstairs side room so I can dim the lights and not have music on when it’s available.
Some improvements:
Small things really but things I’d love to see improved or made accessible as a neurodivergent person they could sway others decision in becoming a member.
The sinks in the toilets upstairs in the men’s smell like sewerage when using hot tap and not all the dispensers have soap in. Small issue but it always makes me weary of hygiene
Although there’s a whole section downstairs with kettlebells, weight’s etc. I don’t yet feel comfortable hanging out down there as a neurodivergent person, the upstairs feels more comfortable for me. So I’d love to see more weight range and kettlebells up the stairs so I don’t have to keep carrying them back and forth (there’s definitely room for them!).
Although the side rooms are fantastic outside of classes for working out in a different and more comfortable space, I’d love for more availability for neurodivergent people - Dimmed lighting, reduced volume in music at specific times etc. this might encourage less sensory overload and build more confidence with people who wouldn’t usually want to work out due to these issues.
