Sugden Sports Centre

“Here’s the thing this is one of my favourite centres. If you’re just starting strength training and you want to learn proper technique, they run two amazing classes: Friday morning and Monday afternoon. Melvin (the coach) has helped me fix my form for deadlifts, chest press, squats — basically everything I used to hesitate with. Because of that, my fitness journey kept moving forward instead of stopping out of fear of doing things wrong. And the best part? It’s a women-only session designed to help women get confident with weight training.”

“Lovely staff at Sugden sports centre. Thank you to Tegan and Dorian the managers and Nicky and Iqbal the Taekwondo instructors who looked after my Daughter until the ambulance came on Thursday. All very professional and caring.”

“The gym has recently been renovated, it is very busy especially when students return from university. The studio has not been renovated, the equipment is old and with clear signs of wear & tear, especially the yoga blocks, straps and matts. The heating during classes in this area is inconsistent and sometimes quite cold when classes are held. The toilets in general are dirty, the cleanliness is not good, it is true that it is a busy place but the standards are very low. This needs to be improved. The staff are nice but there is no attitude of going the extra mile for the customer.When I experience doubts a few times they wasn't able to give me help or point me in the right direction. I go because I get a discount from my job, but if I had to pay the full membership it definitely doesn't worth value for money. Positive thing:Quite a few teachers from the classes are quite good(specially yoga) Update- This review has been edited on 27/2 .The management team of the center to which I took my complaints and discomfort for the deteriorated equipment for yoga classes has been heard and has renewed the equipment completely. They've changed the mats,blocks and straps. The quality is good and they've taken care to do a follow up. Customer service is good, specially from the new assistant manager,Samuel N. From the beginning he has had an excellent and active and proactive attitude,which shows without a doubt that he is interested in receiving feedback and to know opinions of the customers on the use and enjoyment of the facilities. Improvement of the service”

“I've been here twice now. Much better than moss side gym. Good equipment. Not sure how it is when students come back though. One bad problem, parking! Manchester council should make more free parking for customers.”
