I
appreciate
people
go
to
gyms
/
leisure
centres
for
different
reasons
and
goals
so
this
comprehensive
review
is
based
from
a
perspective
of
a
natural
bodybuilder
who
retired
from
competing
last
year.
I
only
go
to
Shrewsbury
club
between
6am-9am.
The
main
reason
I
joined
was
access
to
a
pool
and
take
up
yoga
classes
to
rehabilitate
a
hip
issue
whilst
still
training
at
the
gym.
The
car
park
is
huge
and
you
should
have
no
issues
finding
a
space.
There
is
a
children's
outdoor
play
area
which
is
a
nice
touch.
There
is
also
an
covered
outdoor
crossfit
style
training
area
where
I've
seen
classes
take
place.
Entrance
is
by
a
membership
card.
Staff
are
always
friendly
and
say
hello
when
you
arrive.
The
changing
rooms
are
excellent.
Plenty
of
large
lockers,
which
require
a
refundable
£1
coin
(or
token).
Male
changing
rooms
have
4
separate
shower
cubicles
and
a
communal
shower
area.
The
area
has
nice
decor
and
tiled
everywhere.
Noticed
there
are
two
separate
family
changing
rooms.
POOL
-
a
20
metre
pool.
Deep
end
1.5m
and
shallow
end
1.2m
so
younger
children
will
require
buoyancy
aids.
Most
of
the
time
it
is
warm
but
occasionally
the
shallow
end
is
cooler.
Adult
lane
swimming
is
on
when
I
attend
and
never
too
busy.
The
sauna
and
steam
rooms
are
adjacent
to
the
pool
and
are
great.
Operate
at
the
right
temperature
(for
me
anyway)
and
never
too
crowded.
Good
sized
vitality
pool
is
around
the
corner
from
the
pool
within
the
adults
only
relaxation
area
where
there
are
a
number
of
loungers
for
you
to
relax.
The
gym
area
I
train
here
four
time
a
week.
The
downstairs
area
is
weights
whilst
upstairs
is
all
cardio
equipment
with
some
functional
resistance
training
equipment.
I
spend
most
of
my
time
downstairs.
The
gym
equipment
is
all
supplied
by
Technogym
and
the
equipment
is
generally
of
a
very
good
standard
and
well
looked
after.
Dumbells
go
up
to
50kg
i
think
with
four
benches.
There
are
three
squat
racks
and
therefore
three
areas
to
deadlift
or
Olympic
lift.
Whilst
the
equipment
is
decent
the
gym
I
feel
is
unbalanced
-
too
much
upper
body
(push)
equipment
and
not
enough
leg
or
pull
equipment.
They
could
really
do
with
a
hack
squat,
another
cable
station
and
a
few
others.
Saturday
mornings
are
also
very
busy.
I've
turned
up
twice
only
to
walk
straight
back
out
as
its
too
busy
and
I've
trained
elsewhere.
The
layout
of
the
gym
also
excludes
crossfit
style
training
as
usually
WODS
are
in
conjunction
with
weights
and
cardio
equipment.
But
with
weights
downstairs
and
cardio
upstairs
its;
difficult
to
do.
There
is
a
comprehensive
class
programme
and
definitely
something
for
everyone.
I
attend
flow
yoga
classes
twice
a
week
and
these
have
been
excellent.
Lucy
is
an
excellent
instructor/
teacher
and
I've
no
doubt
I
will
reap
the
benefits
of
the
classes
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months
ahead.
Tennis
features
heavily
at
Shrewsbury
club
and
whilst
I'm
not
active
in
the
sport
I
can
tell
they
have
extensive
tennis
facilities,
indoor/
outdoor
courts
and
offer
coaching
too.
The
restaurant
area
on
the
1st
floor
is
pleasant
with
plenty
of
seating.
Just
had
the
one
coffee
so
far.
They
do
serve
food.
There
is
a
childs
indoor
play
area
next
to
the
restaurant.
Speaking
of
children
they
do
offer
all
adult
members
the
option
to
sign
up
any
children
under
16
as
members
for
free.
This
is
a
great
benefit
to
adult
members
so
I've
signed
up
my
children.
Although,
there
are
over
subscribed
so
there
is
a
wait
to
get
them
on
board.
Fair
enough.
When
I
breakdown
what
I
use
at
the
club
each
session
then
the
£69
monthly
memberships
is
well
worth
it.
That's
how
you
need
to
look
at
it
if
you
are
thinking
of
signing
up.
If
you
make
use
of
most
of
the
facilities
then
you're
getting
you
moneys
worth.
Overall,
very
happy
with
my
experience
so
far.
My
only
gripe
is
the
gym
area
which
does
need
a
rethink
in
my
opinion,
hence
4
stars
and
not
5.
But
best
have
a
look
around
and
see
the
club
for
yourself.
