Large free weights areas for the serious guys who spend too much time looking in the mirror. Large pool + sauna + steam room + hot tub for relaxing afterwards. All classes except tennis are free once you stump up the membership fee and are fun. Some cliquey clientel, but EVENTUALLY they will talk to you. Can take ages to fix broken equipment. Adequate car parking. Busiest around 6pm, so avoid at that time if possible.

The sports centre is possibly one of the best facilities for Oxford Brookes. Although membership if…read morequite expensive, even for their own students, the facilities are very respectable and far better than those provided by Oxford University's Iffley Road complex. They also have membership options for occasional visitors. However, unless you live nearby; given that you will be paying quite a bit, you may be better opting for one of the commercial gyms in the city

I would say considering it's Oxford and not many gyms around, Pure Gym offers great value for money…read moreratio. Yes, occasionally toilets will lack toilet paper and soap dispenser will be empty, but considering monthly payments on other gyms such as David Lloyd and Nuffield, I think it's quite competitive. Definitely no frills: gym is crowded, classes are booked out quickly, and always a lot of people at the machines. However, to most classes you still can come even if they have been booked out, and always some machines are free. There is an option of upgrading to premium-ish membership ( something like +3 pounds), where you will be given an opportunity for early booking. Also, there is a limit on how many classes you can have booked. At the same time, the gym has quite a busy schedule of classes (probably the busiest out of all the gyms I had a look at at that moment! Also from time to time they organise some paid courses with limited spaces but I have never signed up for those.

Westminster Sports Centre is open to everyone - not just students from brookes! Also its not one of…read morethose gyms that is only open to members - you can buy a single swim or gym session without signing up to a membership! Its one of the cheapest gyms i've been to and the by far the friendliest. It has a number of facilities, including a 25m swimming pool, a 55 station gym, two squash courts, a large meeting/training room, badminton facilities, basket ball facilities, a number of tennis courts, 6 outdoor pitches and an 18 hole golf course. The pricing of the memberships are very competitive. Don't expect to pay more than about £25 per month for most if not all of the facilities. Locals get discounts (as well as service men & women) and can knock up to a quarter of the price. Prices range from £16 to £48 per moth depending on the degree to which you wish to use the facilities. Phone up to check availability. The swimming pool is kept to about 30.5 degrees centigrade. The gym is large and spacious and airy. It can get a little hot later into the evening but there is air conditioning (which i've been told is being improved). The squash courts are the best i've played in. The centre offers a number of classes that can be found on their website, including spinning which is well run and is usually in the air-conditioned training room. The staff are friendly and are always up for a good chat! Its always nice to come in from a long day at work and see a smiling happy manager behind reception. The place is kept clean and tidy by a team of dedicated lifeguards and cleaners who if asked will always help you out. There are only a few negatives: the car park at the moment is a hassle - as i gather it, the university don't like people parking and have a barrier system in place. The bad side of this deter ant on us as customers is that we have to get a token from reception, for every time you use the facilities. This is a hassle to begin with but you get used to it. If you don't think you'd like this then you can always ride your bike/moped/push bike to the centre; which provides bike storage by the barrier to the car park. Or alternatively you could catch the U1, which stops on the campus by the teaching facilities. The other negative is that sometimes its frustrating to see managers or reception staff sat behind reception doing nothing (browsing facebook/ playing games/ texting) whilst the cleaners are in the gym, and the lifeguards on poolside. Admittedly the centre is never that busy, but its plain to see there are jobs to be done to tidy the place up a bit. If not just in the reception area? Anyway over all its a great little centre that not that many people know about and really has a family/friendly feel to it. I would definitely recommend it and its always there to try.

It's a big shame, but it has been ruined. My children have both used the swimming lessons there for…read moreyears very happily. Unfortunately, there is a new incompetent manager (Stuart McC) there. When my daughter progressed to the end of the swimming lessons with 2 lessons to go, we informed Stuart that we would like the refund for 4 lessons that were still pre paid. He explained that nothing could be done about the 2 lessons that were for the end of the course (fair enough). However, he could refund the remaining 2 lessons....in 57 days time at the earliest because he was 'short staffed'. I have been a manager for years and this does not wash. When produced with a letter he signed himself saying that you could get a refund, I received a nonsense email filled with bluff, jargon and no substance. Still curious as to whether it will take 57 days to get a £16.00 refund. Personally, I wouldn't sign up to any sports membership here whilst this incompetent manager is in charge, unless you want to find yourself in this situation over any membership fees.

The gym is much better than expected- it is clean and loads of equipment and classes on. While the…read morevariety of classes is not as good as the Oxford central one (for example no body balance or body combat classes), the gym is less crowded. Also there is no reception but you can buy gym necessities, such as a padlock, a towel, or a drink in vending machines. Although classes require booking it seems unnecessary as people seem to just show up. The location is good - as the Templars square is a major shopping area plenty buses stop nearby. Also free wi-fi - always a bonus!

The pool is really stunning with experience showers and an aromatic sauna and steam room at poolside. The gym has all the latest Technogym equipment and although I don't use the spa treatments there are seven treatments rooms. I really can't see any reason you wouldn't join this superb club.
