A fairly decent sports centre offering various workout machines as well as swimming, with very…read morepolite staff. However, the workout machines are often always in use by someone, and the selection is quite limited, probably due to the space taken up by the pools. Also, membership is very expensive, and although it's a great rival to Fitness First, it does have less machines, fewer classes, and more costly, also, a Fitness First membership can be used in most Fitness First gyms worldwide, and they have more facilities than any other gym network. If you don't do swimming and you can get to a Fitness First, it is the better choice. The staff is helpful though, and I know the gym manager here personally. If it's local to you, you've got a bit of money to burn, or you can't make it to a Fitness First, then this is definatly the place for you, and you will enjoy it, but if you're willing to look into alternatives then Fitness First comes more recommended.

Pool or pulpit...that is the question!…read more Here at the Virgin Active in Repton Park, they placed a swimming pool right inside a church...how cool is that? When I first entered the pool I was really taken aback and quite mesmerized - it felt a little sacrilegious, but at the same time I very much enjoyed swimming in this beautiful environment. The gym area itself is also quite neat, as you sweat underneath a prettily-decorated vaulted ceiling. There's plenty of exercise equipment, although the weight-lifting area is a little small. This Virgin Active gym is in Repton Park, which was the site of the fomrer Claybury Hospital - a psychiatric hospital. Apparently there's still the ghosts of the past haunting these premises....

This Virgin club is nestled within…read morethe closed community (Repton Park), the best way to get here would be by car, although there is a bus stop just outside Repton Park it is still quite a walk when you are inside. This gym has a Costa Coffee inside next to the reception that also includes food (this can get slightly irritating when working out and smelling food) o_O The gym has quite a few treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, free weights, TRX etc, each machine has a tv screen with the ability to plug in your IPhone/IPod which allows you to listen to your music but also you can store your workout data to your phone too. The most amazing area in this gym is the swimming pool, it is absolutely stunning, the whole gym used to be a chapel for the mental institution, so the decor inside is beautiful. Within the pool area, you also have the sauna and steam room, along with some sun loungers and some juice to drink. The only gripe I have is that there is no air-conditioning (but I don't think there is anything they can do about that due to the building structure).

Run by the local authority, Cathall Leisure Centre is covenant and cheap. So whether you are after…read morea game of squash, a dip in the swimming pool or good work out in the gym Cathall has it all. You can sign up as a full member from roughly 30 per mouth or just attend on a pay as you go basis with no contracts or cancellation fees. Although the gym equipment might not be as high tech as a David Lloyds or Esporta there is always a personal trainer on hand to offer advise and if you prefer group exercise there are a number of aerobics classes throughout the day. The squash courts are a godsend for those of you who like to play regularly as they are a snip at 4.50 for 45 mins off peak and rarely get booked up. You can also enter a squash league that caters for all levels. The swimming pool is large enough to have a good splash around and there is a separate section for children and parents.

The prices are as you would expect (not the cheapest but not the most expensive). there is a full size swimming pool with diving boards. Check to see what times they section off part of the pool for 'swimmers' as opposed to the kids etc. the gym is as good as any I have seen with lots of equipment so not too much standing around waiting for the bech press etc. There are also qualified insrructors on hand to ensure you get the most out of your time. Regular classes are held in a number of different rooms, check out the website for listings.

Best i have seen anywhere, very high tech and you can email members through your Gym key, watch TV on your machines, listen to the radio and at the end of your session it tells you how many calories you have burned and what you need to do more of!

I…read moreprimarily use the centre for badminton, but there are so many other sports on offer such as tennis, aerobics, squash and a well equipped gym. You do not have to take out a membership in order to use certain aspects of the centre, such as the badminton or squash courts but it can prove more economical if you choose to do so, especially if you intend on using the centre on a frequent basis. There is also an excellent selection of activities for children, especially during the school holidays. The only thing that lets Redbridge Leisure Centre down is its poor changing and showering facilities, if these were improved then I'd definitely rate the centre higher.

I was a member of this gym for half of the year in 2007. It is an excellent all round facility with…read moreswimming pool (indoor and out), rackets courts and also a state of the art gym. For such good facilities there is obviously a price and it was very expensive for myself and my other half to go. As with most people, the novelty of the gym soon wore off so that is the reason we stopped going. However, if you are more dedicated than me then you would do well to join here. On your initial visit, you have a meeting with one of the trainers in the gym who talk you through what you want to achieve from using the gym and they set you a plan (free of charge). They take you around all of the equipment and show you how to use it. What I found was a nice touch is that they remembered our names and always said hello when we went. There is a lovely café there that offers good food (healthy and some non!). The outdoor pool would be superb in the summer months.

Since the transfer from Fusion to Everyone Active, the quality of the gym has gone sharply…read moredownhill. About half of the gym equipment has been removed, and what's left isn't properly maintained. The new pull-up bars, for example, have been installed too close to the ceiling and are basically unusable. Management is completely unresponsive -- they've been promising new equipment since June, then said October, and now it's supposedly coming in April. Honestly, it doesn't seem like it will ever happen. To make things worse, the showers have been out of order for over a week with no sign of repair or communication from staff. Overall, it feels like nobody in management actually cares about the state of the place. Most of the gym instructors have also left since the takeover -- only one remains -- which really says a lot about the current working environment and management approach. The only redeeming part of Clements Hall is the group fitness classes. The instructors running them are fantastic -- enthusiastic, professional, and clearly dedicated. It's their energy that keeps this centre going despite everything else falling apart.
