William Gregg is the leisure center in Heanor, not the sandwich shop…read more The leisure center has had a full refurbishment over the past year, and is a lovely clean facility. The changing rooms are great with decent sized lockers. The gym here is brilliant. The staff are really motivating and friendly, and always on hand to give advice if you need it. They also make sure you don't feel intimidated by the body building types. There is loads of equipment and loads of running machines means I've never had to wait to use one yet. The brand new pool is lovely! Very clean and modern. If you're going to use the facilities here regularly I'd recommend becoming a member. It's very good value for money, for about £30 monthly you get unlimited use of the facilities and classes on offer, and you can use your membership at the Ri0pley Center too!

A review of a council run leisure centre should probably really focus on what the place sets out to…read moreachieve. I would guess that it aims to provide a place for the public to fulfil their leisure requirements, with decent equipment available, a good selection of classes, served by good staff and all reasonably priced. With the above in mind I can not fault Carlton Forum. I moved to the gym in here from a more expensive National Chain, for the simple reason that I needed to save a few quid where possible. Having ditched my £65 per month subs at the previous gym I am now paying £31 per month at Carlton Forum. So what have I lost for the £34 per month I now get to keep in my pocket??? Well the luxury definitely, the nice plush sofas, a receptionist with a perfect smile and model looks etc etc. But in terms of the need it intends to fulfil - that of keeping fit - absolutely nothing! Carlton Forum provides access to all the equipment I need to carry out my regimes exactly as before and the atmosphere is less pretentious than the previous place, giving a more communal and relaxed feeling when you finally pluck up the courage to visit the gym. Obviously there are a wide range of things on offer beyond that of just the gym. Swimming, tennis, football, badminton, exercise classes, spinning classes, squash etc etc. So there really should be something for everyone.

My only gripe is that some members seem to have a problem understanding gym rules ie returning dumbells to there correct places, and using sweat towels, this should be monitored and enforced a lot more than it is to ensure all members are able to enjoy their workouts completely.

One of the worst gyms I have ever seen. There is a huge amount of space for useless machines and a…read moretiny free weights section. There is no reception desk and the pathetically small free weights section is inadequate at all times of the day. There is also hardly any equipment barring the machines. The coup de grais as far as I am concerned is the fact you cannot view the place prior to joining. It is sneaky and wrong. Avoid at all costs!

It can get busy during week nights between 5 and 6 but not so much so that you can't get on any of the equipment. The equipment available is a little dated, but unlike chains of gyms, it's always working and you never see the dreaded "out of order" sign. There are plenty of classes available but I can't comment as I've never been to any. The only thing that really annoys me about this place are the opening hours but I think that's the millennial part of me that wants everything 24/7, and closing at 8pm on weeknights and and 4pm on a Saturday just isn't convenient enough for me unfortunately...
