So it seems that The London Borough of Lend Lease (AKA Southwark) have got into bed with another private firm whose only motivation is to make massive profits even if this means putting the Health and Safety of Southwark residents at risk.

This place is not a great, it's not very clean and the staff I've spoken to are really unhelpful but it's the Health and Safety violations that are really worrying .

Fire doors blocked, many wedged open. this is to stop people getting into the gym for free. The manager actually justified the practice. Not sure if any from from Everyone's Active has sat in a Corners Court when a company says they've locked fire doors to maximise their profits. I have and hearing how people burned to death still haunts me.

I asked for an induction when I joined the gym and was told that I would have to pay for personal training. I said I didn't want personal training, I wanted to know how to use the equipment safely. After being told about three times that I had to pay for personal training, I asked to speak to a manager. After I had to tell them about their responsibility under the Health & Safety Act, they said there had been a misunderstanding and of course they could show me how to use the equipment safely for free. To be fair the member of staff that was trying to sell personal training came to afterwards to apologies and said that management at the centre have told them to also sell personal training.

oh, and there's no disabled access to the centre and hasn't been for nearly a year now. They told my disabled friend that to get in he could phone to let them know he's coming, for him to hang around the bin area and they'll let him in via there.

This place/company are a disaster waiting to happen. I hear you shout out, 'if it's that bad, why don't you leave?' because I paid upfront for a year.
