Writing this review on a friend's account because otherwise my name pops up. Absolute shambles of a gym. Push button showers, which give you about 15 seconds of water. The shower area ALWAYS stinks of sewage, despite not being attached to the toilets. Shower areas are clearly not cleaned properly - there was the same used plaster and toothpaste up the wall for over a week!! The insides of the lockers are filthy and never cleaned. The gym area itself is incredibly dark, with ridiculous, very bright spotlights in random locations which are blinding when you stand in certain positions. They have just removed all but 2 of the barbell benches, meaning that training during peak times it utterly pointless now. There are nowhere near enough weight clips for the end of Olympic bars, there are only 2 5kg weight plates as far as I can tell. There is no chalk for your hands, nor a box for box jumps. I asked one of their staff to spot me for ONE rep and he looked like I'd just asked him to do the most strenuous, annoying job in the world. He also clearly had no idea how to spot someone either - he literally grabbed the bar as soon as it started to slow and lifted it right off me. The pool is FAR too warm to do any serious swimming in. In a year of visits, I can count on one hand the number of times that both jacuzzis have been working. The steam room, as with the shower areas, often smells of sewage (although this is partly disguised with a weak eucalyptus scent). All in all, it is utterly TERRIBLE value for money. At the prices you pay for this gym, you would expect much more, both in terms of maintenance and facilities. I will not be renewing my membership.
