Gym Sports club

😐 Staff, classess and equipment are 5/5 but due to my work hours, the gym is often closed. Its not crowded most of the time, the shower facilites are great. Student discounteans its the same price as pure gym, the problem for me are the openning hours. People often mention facilities, Great, good,

  • 3/5 Rosaleen O. 6 years ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Reasonably priced with a good-enough quiet gym and a range of classes (spin, yoga, Pilates). I hear quality of classes can be variable. Probably best for anyone looking to squeeze in some more exercise before/after work or at lunchtimes. Wouldn't be my first choice for leisure.

    An absolute fortune for room hire and charging the uni's sports club too much. They don't have enough money as it is and they're expected to pay a lot for something that should be given to student sport at a fair and reasonable price.

    I went here to watch my wife play a roller derby game. The place looks to have reasonable facilities plus the hall that the match was played in. The staff i encountered were pretty friendly too. Downsides? No dedicated parking and zero baby changing facilities in the building, I had to change my son on a chair in the disabled toilets

    Great place in a Central location. Close to train and bus services plus there's plenty of parking nearby which is free on Sundays. Love the Sunday morning roller skating/rollerblading sessions there from 10:30-13:00. Suitable for all levels and instruction and skate hire available too.

    Very big facilities with a large variety of sports. I only used the gym and the machines on first floor were new and sound, enough variety. I could use it as one off paying less than £5

    Visited the gym whilst on a business trip. I wasn't sure if it was open to the public or required membership. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Very reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Jimbo 1. 1 year ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Great gym when I was last here a few years back. This gym would definitely do way more business if it opened at 5am

  • 2/5 Philip P. 6 years ago on Google
    Dont expect much from the gym; for cardio etc its well equipped, the gym however is poorly maintained and equipped; odd plates everywhere and bars are all in need of TLC. Ok for a one off if needed.

    Great gym, cheap as chips and great facilities. Cleaning of the showers and general gym has declined since the uni made most cleaners redundant...but it is still worth the money.

😠 I started using this gym as it is the only Ladies only gym I could find.

There should be stricter measures to ensure that the lad...
