2/5 Maxwell K. 4 years ago on Google
Having
been
a
member
for
1.5
years,
I've
just
cancelled
my
membership.
Here
are
some
pros
and
cons:
Pros
The
staff
are
usually
pleasant
Towels
and
shower
gel
provided
Despite
being
underground,
quite
a
large
space
Was
usually
reasonably
quiet
at
the
time
I
went
Cons
Aircon
frequently
on
the
fritz.
Last
Summer
it
was
unbearable
and
it
took
them
months
to
agree
to
get
more
regular
fans.
Sometimes
works
and
sometimes
doesn't
now.
Some
trainers
like
to
use
a
boombox
when
they're
working
out
and
play
music
very
loud
(this
is
on
top
of
the
normal
music
on
the
gym's
speakers).
This
has
been
going
for
months,
but
when
I
recently
drew
it
to
the
management's
attention
they
claimed
ignorance,
despite
me
seeing
them
walk
around
the
gym
when
it
was
going
on.
Weights
are
usually
just
left
all
over
the
shop,
although
I
know
this
is
a
problem
at
a
lot
of
gyms.
There
used
to
a
large
stretching
area
on
the
gym
floor
with
thick
floor
mats,
but
this
has
now
been
removed.
The
men's
changing
rooms
aren't
very
clean
(hair/fluff
permanently
on
the
floor),
plus
there
are
no
foot
mats
in
the
showers.
Not
open
at
the
weekends
and
I
have
been
told
by
staff
that
I
would
have
to
pay
to
use
another
Fitness
First
(Brixton).
I
think
the
money
they
charge
is
probably
about
right.
You
get
some
perks
that
you
wouldn't
get
at
cheaper
gyms,
but
they
obviously
know
it's
not
as
nice
as
Virgin
Gyms
or
similar.
Plus
being
closed
at
the
weekends
isn't
great.
Ultimately
I
cancelled
as
I
didn't
think
the
pros
outweighed
the
cons.
They
didn't
argue
when
I
cancelled
so
I
think
they
know
it's
not
great
there.
