Facilities and Equipment
The gym is considered small by some reviewers, with inadequate equipment and frequent overcrowding, leading to long wait times. The pool facilities, on the other hand, are generally praised, with a 50m pool available and swimming lessons offered. However, some reviewers noted that the sports hall is on the small side, and lacks adequate ventilation and seating.
Customer Service and Staff
The staff and customer service are widely praised, with reviewers noting that they are friendly, accommodating, and understanding. The staff are commended for their willingness to resolve issues, such as billing mix-ups, in a fair and amicable manner.
Value for Money
The facility is considered to be reasonably priced, with cheap entry fees to the swimming pool and a good value for money overall. However, some reviewers noted that parking can be an issue and costs extra during the day.
Atmosphere and Community
The facility is described as having a great family-friendly environment, with a strong sense of community among members. Reviewers noted that the atmosphere is generally positive, with friendly and willing-to-share lap swimmers.
