So I actually switched memberships out of here a couple of months ago. Here are pros and cons of this place in my opinion:

Pros: brand new facility. New pool, new gym, new equipment and technology. Super fancy and modern. It s also one of the more affordable places for exercise (especially with student discounts!).

Cons: as someone who works during the day, I rely on this facility for evening and weekend classes. I wasn t quite pleased with the caliber and quality of the fitness classes. Some instructors were amazing and clearly trained on how to lead a class, whereas others did not seem to have any training at all and would lead the worst classes ever. And I m not talking about hard vs easy. I m talking about proper intervals, good flow of movements, punctuality and time for stretching at the end, and a variety of exercises. You d have the exact same class week after week- which gets so boring and really does nothing for your body.

Another con are the lockers. I guess they missed the memo that the pound was going to change because you can t lock them unless you have an old British pound.

And my final con is the cleanliness of the place. Sure, it s brand new and it all seems clean and shiny but it is very evident that they do not prioritize hygiene. At the end of the classes, nobody is told or encouraged to clean the mats that they just sweat all over and so if you go know you ll notice that the bright green yoga mats are stained black from shoes and sweat. Other gyms have disinfectant wipes to clean them up. The bathrooms in the evening often have garbage everywhere too.

Please keep in mind that my review is only relevant for the classes. I have never used the swimming or regular gym facilities.
