    Over £55 a month for a full membership, not what I expected at all I'm afraid. Every time you go near the pool area there are children's swimming lessons for hours and hours, class after class, which means the car park and changing rooms are also constantly full with parents and children. Parents constantly peering through the windows, in and out, collecting the kids after each lesson. Trying to navigate around the pool to the Sauna, Steam room spa bath and seating areas becomes is simply a nightmare. Men and Women in the pool area are expected to be afforded some privacy whilst in bathing costumes and this is obviously not possible with the swimming lessons. This is not what I expect from premium priced leisure facility. Many other members saying the same as the lessons are getting longer and longer on virtually every day, at peak times too. Something needs to be done. Local community leisure centres are for children's swimming lessons, not private gyms. Seems to be a simply a money grabbing exercise which if not halted will eventually be the end of the Gym as there will be no members.

    Went back after cancelling years before, a decision I regret. Swimming area hasn't changed for years and needs updating. Gyms area isn't that big compared to other well known gyms and the equipment needs updating and especially the decor. There are cheaper gyms that are more appealing. To top it off I added my 6 yr old to my membership for swimming as I knew I was taking him twice and worked out cheaper adding him for the month, which i later find out without them saying that he was now in a 3 month contract that even though they didn't tell me I couldn't get off. Would have been cheaper just paying in twice. Rip off and would recommend David Lloyd, or dedicated super gym.

    It is no longer a relaxing place to go as there is none stop screams and shouts coming from the swimming lessons. Also parents watching threw windows. Not at all relaxing anymore and have spoke to a few other members who are considering leaving due to the noisey swimming lessons at every hour of the day. Also expect to only be able to use a 1/4 of the pool due to swimming lessons.

    Been going the gym for atleast 4 years now. There was quite a turnover in staff of recent but now they have the balance to perfection. I go of a morning so I don't see all the staff regularly. Three guys who stand out for me who work there are Tom, Adam and John. All stop and have a chat and are really top people and a credit to the company. Adam for me has a wealth of fitness knowledge with competing in the past. Always offers advice and answers any questions I have to do with improving my physique.

    A little pricey but if your using the rewards scheme and going alot then it's not to bad. Jacuzzi steam room and sauna is good. The pool can get busy and quite small for lane swimming.

    Used to be good years ago but all the facilities and equipment are dirty or broken and they have the nerve to raise prices of membership. Don't know about the ladies but the men's lockers are full of questionable blokes talking about drugs. Just gone really down hill. Oh and if you try and cancel you pay for another 3 months £160 to leave.

    I didn't visit the gym but did use the pool. The pool itself is fine, but I noticed some of the floors didn't look like they'd been cleaned since the last change of management, however many years that might have been...

    Been on and off here for years as ive always lived in the area. Its the best its ever been in there. Still stuff to be refurbished but big changes have been made. Staff are really friendly and always have a smile for you.

  • 2/5 Paul 1 year ago on Google
    If you're looking specifically for a "gym", you should look elsewhere. There're many other gyms that are less than half the price yet have much better equipment and changing facilities.

    Excellent place to relax ,staff are all very approachable & pleasant. Cheese & wine organised by Rachel & Quiz nights are superb .Rachel is a brilliant host always smiling around the village offering advice on membership & activities. A must place for membership or just a social event .

  • 3/5 SurgeonGR 10 months ago on Google
    Although it is a very good and promising gym, I have to admit that the building and facilities have been neglected. The ool needs proper cleaning (most of the times you can see "items" on the bottom). The walls need refreshing paint as they are starting to peel off. The parking street has too many holes and needs fixing. The staff in the pool tries to maintain a clean environment, but the company needs to do something bigger than this. Also, most of the days, something is not working.. it might be the hot tub or the sauna or the steam room.. and the temp of the hot tub is not always hot.. a few times is actually very cool, which makes the whole thing pointless...

  • 4/5 Maria J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pool area, really nice sauna and steam rooms, cold plunge shower and poolside jets to enjoy. The recent fresh paint throughout has improved it too. The staff are lovely and really helpful. Update: a new jaccuzi has been installed!

  • 4/5 Steve L. 7 months ago on Google
    Recently joined. It's reasonably priced gym with adequate equipment and pool. It does look like it could do with an upgrade, refurbishment and lick of paint.

  • 2/5 Paul F. 3 years ago on Google
    A good selection of static equipment but feeling very cramped at the moment. It's expensive for what it is. Very run down and scruffy. Staff are trying their best and are very helpful. Gets quite busy in the evening where people stand and have a natter

    Well equipped gym, good sized pool, steam room, jacuzzi and sauna. A sports bar on site where you can catch live sports events. All in all ticks a lot of boxes.

  • 1/5 Fryderyk's V. 4 years ago on Google
    I tried to cancel my membership from September. In January I went to gym to cancel from them so I called cancelation team in January and I should pay last payment in February. Unfortunately in March they charged me again and the gentelman said there is no cancellation on the system. Lol. Beware of this gym as this is the worst service I ever got in my life.

  • 5/5 Sandra G. 2 years ago on Google

    Went for my booster jab, very good efficient staff. Quite busy though

  • 3/5 stephen s. 5 years ago on Google
    Facilities are OK, if a little tired. Recent refurb on the changing rooms didn't make them any better, or worse. Pool is good when it's hot, but is usually a standard temperature, which is cool, but perfect for a good swim. Staff are mostly friendly although front desk gym can be a little abrupt and not always as attentive as you would expect for a hotel with a reputation built on its slightly posher marketing. Hotel restaurant is good for the carvery on a Sunday!

  • 5/5 Jane Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I just want to give a massive shout out to the Manager and staff at the Village gym in Liverpool. They always go the extra mile to ensure that they provide excellent customer service and if they can help they will. The friendly welcome and inclusive atmosphere that I experience on each visit keeps me coming back for more. Thank you to all the team. I visited the gym again today in a work capacity as support for adults who have additional needs the lovely welcome we received and the extra care that staff gave us was just brilliant and a massive thank you to Sophie poolside who made sure that the experience was fun and everyone felt included and valued.
