I really look forward to Nicole's aqua class on a Thursday evening. I love that every week she does something different and not the same routine. I love the music she's plays which keeps you going throughout the work out. She if very informative. She gives you easier options or harder options. She always introduces herself to the class and tells you which part of the body you're working on durning each exercise. Nicole's is always energetic, I don't know how she does it!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for adults seeking aqua fitness classes or independent pool access — the Thursday evening sessions are a genuine highlight. Families using the library will find a welcoming community space.

The library is a great place. Clean, employees are always busy dealing with customers and a lot of community groups seem to congregate here. Exactly as a library should be. It reminds me of a library I went to in Ireland: a good sense of community. I've only used the swimming pool once and everything is as you'd expect, swimming pool on point and clean. Highly recommended.

It was a nice experience. I had my fears because that was his first time in the pool but each trainer we met were professional and calm in handling him. Thank you all

I currently pay for two memberships at £39 each at this 'community gym'. However, several ongoing issues are making it difficult to feel that the membership offers real value. The £3 fee for each class cancellations within four hours is discouraging and doesn’t reflect an understanding of members’ reallife schedules. Combined with a limited and repetitive class timetable, it feels like we’re being charged extra without being given enough choice or flexibility in return, no variations just mostly dance classes and not enough allround Access to training spaces is also restricted. The back room is kept closed outside of classes, which means there’s no open mat area for stretching or functional work. Most of the dumbbells are locked away, further limiting what members can actually use. Cleanliness is inconsistent, and in the women’s gym the Stairmaster has been broken for months with no updates or repairs. For a facility that encourages community engagement, these maintenance gaps are noticeable. I am checking other gyms this would mean traveling further away and this is upsetting.

Overview

Abraham Moss combines a public library with a pool, gym, and class programme. Thursday evening aqua sessions led by Nicole receive strong repeat attendance. The library area is praised for community atmosphere and family-friendliness. Gym membership carries a cancellation fee for classes cancelled within four hours. Children's swimming and gymnastics lessons have drawn complaints about instructor attitude and lack of structure.
