    Some would call it hard core, some would call it decidedly dodgy....

    Personally I love the gym. Although it can get quite busy, and there is sometimes no availability…read morefor the specific machines you need, there is always something you could be using. The staff from my experience are amazing, and I have interacted with almost all, and had sessions with 2 of the staff members. They make working out fun! I also love how clean they keep the gym and how open plan it is (I'm a complete clostrophobe!) So in my opinion, more than worth the £10.99 per month!!

    An ok gym if your after using cardio equipment, if your looking for free weights and kettle bells…read moreetc then this is the last place I would come. For starters there is only one Smith machine which isn't unusual for a gym but given its popularity there should be at least two, there is only one squat rack, and what I couldn't believe it's only one Olympic bar! Each of these pieces of equipment had at least 3 or 4 people waiting to use them! The weights area is generally small, there are 2 sets of each weights which is ok but since this is a budget gym every kid is on there trying to prove how much they can curl to each other; this means free weights are everywhere and I mean all over the place! No one puts the weights back and people sit on benches with 3 or 4 Sets of weights around their Feet! It was so hard to get a proper workout! The cardio equipment is next to top notch though and all brand new, the weight machines are ok, the lateral pull downs etc are all standard there are a lot of machines tho that are simply useless in my eyes. Some weird twisty abdominal thing which seemed to do my triceps more than anything, i did ask about the machine but the guy working there was none the wiser!? Lockers are tiny, Had to force and kick my gym back in! No locks on lockers (supply your own), one water fountain for the entire place which is pretty big by the way! All in all for cardio then yes for weights no no no! There are much better places that deserve your money.
