Wow… this place looks like something from 20 years ago, not a gym in 2023. Serious lack of TLC and much needed investment. Changing rooms and toilets (male) are shocking - really dirty, with one or two urinals out of order and pee all over the floor. Tried using one of the four rowing machines; first one, the screen is broken. Second one, one of the foot straps is broken. The other two, despite having the dampener set to 10, have no resistance whatsoever so feel completely broken and like you’re pulling a piece of loose thread. The weights area is adequate, although I personally hate those circular dumbbells and advise getting both those and hex. Overall the machines are a bit rusty and old. Overall this place is tired and underloved. I’ve seen better hotel gyms.

The staff are friendly and the facilities are good, but the cleanliness is well below standard. There used to be staff visibly cleaning changing areas etc on a regular basis, I haven't seen this for a while and it shows. There is always dirt on the changing area floor and round the pool there is slime between the tiles. Such a shame.

Can't wait until the year is up and I leave to be honest. Changing rooms often aren't cleaned properly with some messes seen the following evening, very few private changing cubicles available, a few showers that don't even work and steam room/pool/jacuzzis not policed so often see blokes in their underwear instead of swimwear. Gross. Sunbeds out of use with no apparent time they will be. Ripped ceiling above pool, appallingly patched in places, cold and draughty when not patched Also the entrance gate is so frequently not working, I'm not entirely sure why I pay a monthly fee when anyone could just walk in. Google wants me to update my review. Only things to add are the frequent steam room and jacuzzi not working/closed. And lack of cleaning in the changing rooms (even when people go to report blood on the floor, it's still there an hour later).

Since the takeover I’m still yet to see any investment. Machines are looking tired, and don’t get me started on the locker situation. There is never any lockers available because members lock them and take the key home. There must be over 100 lockers in the mens and today there was about 20 men in the gym and no lockers available. I saw a bloke with his locker key attached to his car key. How selfish! Staff are fielding complaints everyday from paying members but the head office won’t do anything and are blaming a delay in China for not being able to fix the situation. Invest in the machines and sort the lockers!!!!’ Then I’ll Change my review So investment in the changing room was made and you now need padlocks for the lockers so that’s no longer an issue. I have now moved gyms due to cost and quality of machines

All the lockers are broken been promised to be refurbished for for about a year they just keeps getting worse. The pool thermostat is broken sometimes it’s very hot other times it’s cold. The steam room is out of use because it has no door. On the plus side staff are great considering the place is going down hill.

Jacuzzis always cold. Understaffed. I don't blame the staff it's clearly head office doing everything to scrimp and save. Shame as the place has lots of potential.

It was great to see the mens lockers have been renewed recently. Now you have to bring your own padlock, but there has always been an available locker to use this way. The gym floor equipment is still good. Great variety and availability of equipment of every type I want to use and more. Pool facilities have been good the last time I used them. Parking facilities also good and maintenance has been carried out on the grounds, as bushes were starting to encroach some parking spaces.

Neglected unfortunately. Need to sort your entrance barriers out. All sorts coming in to train for free. Not had a penny spent on it in five years and looking tired now. Oh, and the toilets smell like the zoo

Changing rooms and their toilets are dirty, so is the equipment, lockers don’t work, air on in the gym hardly ever on, staff are unhelpful and some are rude. Views would be nice if you were able to see through the filthy windows. There are other gyms in Southport with much better facilities and less expensive. Been a gym goer for years and this is the worst I have been a member of.

Staff are friendly enough but there aren't enough classes and the whole place is pretty dirty and in need of a refurb. For some reason they also seem incapable of having a sufficient stock of cleaning roll/tissue, which is an utter disgrace as COVID is still knocking about!

Shocking. Equipment all 10 years old +. Can tell no monies been put into it since ownership changed hands - much better gyms in Southport 🤣

The staff are great. However, the pool is usually cold and the steam room has been out of operation for weeks. If I’d known it would be like this before I joined, I wouldn’t have bothered.

Shocking! I am leaving the country and have sold my house and they will not let me cancel the membership within the three month window. I have provided one-way tickets to Ibiza which have been rejected as evidence. They are actually asking for a utility bill of my property to "prove" I am not coming back to the UK. They have threatened additional fees and charges if I cancel my direct debit once I leave the UK. Worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Utter disgrace. Expect the MINIMUM at every stage. This is a joke outfit so BEWARE. I cannot leave ZERO stars!

In town for a month and thought keeping (getting) fit would be great idea and on the day we went for a look they had a month special for £50, while not cheap, it is just for a month. The facilities are excellent, lots of machines and free weights, classes of varying types, wandering staff to help - usually with a smile, a great team at the reception and even a 30 metre pool. All over very good but did have to wonder about some Fitness Instructors/Trainers who were very overweight and it can be a bit chilly in the workout area.

When JJB and DW fitness had it was a good place to go to. Now owned by Everlast, they seem to running it down because there should of been Mens new lockers in by February and it’s now April Get a grip and spend some money!!

They scam you after you have closed your account according to their conditions, which will include overpaying usually. Then they phone you up stating you are in arrears and will take you to court if you don't pay (in some cases years later) not don't worry! The fix is just signing back up again! SCAM totally avoid, even go jogging round the block is better than this.

Couldn't speak high enough about the Staff at Southport DW, my whole time in the building I felt like everyone cared and showed a true interest in me and my needs. The gym is big, airy and bright with everything I could need under one roof. I have been a member at other gym's but the personal experience I had here makes this the #1 gym in Southport by a country mile!

Great gym with plenty of weights and machines to use even at busy periods!! Pool/jacuzzi and steam rooms well maintained and clean 👍🏻

Large enough pool, lovely Jacuzzis and steam room and very clean

Recently moved gyms, went swimming this morning, changing rooms clean, showers hot, pool warm and staff really friendly 🙂

Joined 2 weeks ago Normally I go at 6am. The men's locker room is spotless at this time. No issues with the 2 jacuzzis or steam room. The pool is good, only complaint is 4 feet depth max, wish it was 8 feet + so u could dive in. Overall happy enough with the gym upstairs. Wish they had another cable row machine More update Hyperextension machine and ab cruncher. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sadly just cancelled my membership after trying a swim in the pool that's still unheated after 11 days. Such a shame that the club is going down the toilet as it has so much potential and the staff are all fantastic. I really feel for them.

Good gym , loads of potential to be the best around once it's refurbished. I was a member here a decade ago and it's not changed much but I believe they will be doing some work on it. Pool area is clean , love a bit of hot therapy with the steam room and jacuzzi and a nice cold shower by the steam room for a bit of Wim hof cold therapy to finish off on. The staff look well motivated and are super friendly , that's so hard to come by these days. Overall I think this gym is good value for money and has the potential to be a 5 star rating. Thank you all at the club , your doing a good job Much respect John.

Great to get back to gym classes very well organised

We have cancelled our subscription last month and they are still taking money out of our account. But finding it almost impossible to get hold of anyone. We are still trying

Great staff, great class. And lots of well implemented social distancing precautions

Love it here. Especially the swimming pool area. Lovely empty changing room. Pool very quiet on a Sunday afternoon also.

The best gym in Southport, but then again there isn't a great choice
