I signed up here. They did not even give me a tour. I tried to enter the gates, but my card would not work. I thought I was being waved through, next thing I know one of their staff slaps me across the chest with the back of his hand, says to me "Do you think you're special? Get in the queue". As it turns out, they turn off the card readers on the weekends and all members and non-members have to queue up, often for 5 and 10 minutes to enter the gym. There is usually only 1 or 2 people serving long queues that can reach to 20 or more people. A couple weeks ago, I waited more than half an hour to get in...Beyond that, the gym closes at 6pm on Saturday which is ridiculous because it is always full of people at that time even 10pm on the weekdays is a little short given modern lifestyles and work demands. Recently I showed up there at 9:34 pm a weekday to get in a quick work out after a horrible late day at work. The manager says to me no one can enter after 9:30pm even though I already had my gym kit on and no equipment with me. There was no one else around so it just seemed completely unnecessary. Honestly, I thought he was just taking the mickey, but he was totally serious. The personal trainers on the other hand seem to be nice and treat people with basic respect. I think they are one of the few things I like about this place. Other problems, lots of useless band machines with very little resistance, very few dumbbells, equipment is not fixed regularly, the weights are often sloppy and disorganised, crowded and cramped especially on the weekends and many other issues. But if you come to this gym expect: unfriendly to indifferent desk staff, long queues, strange rules, inconvenient hours, frustrating procedures, poorly stocked and maintained equipment and to just generally be humiliated and have your patience tested to its maximum extent. But if you're expecting to simply walk in and start working out, forget about that especially on the weekends! I'd give this place a miss because there are much friendlier and more uplifting alternatives nearby that will actually value you and your membership.
