I wanted to leave a review to recognise Carl, who works at the gym. He is honestly the only member of staff who consistently greets me when I walk in. He is always happy, friendly, and welcoming, which makes such a difference to the overall atmosphere. Carl regularly walks around the gym floor checking that everything is okay and asking if I’m alright or if I need any help. It’s reassuring to know someone is approachable and genuinely cares about the members. On the days Carl isn’t working, the experience feels very different. When I’ve asked other staff for help, they often seem unsure or tell me to come back another day. In contrast, Carl never puts things off β€” he helps straight away or makes sure I get the support I need. Carl is a real asset to the gym, and his customer service does not go unnoticed. Thank you for having such a dedicated and supportive member of staff.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families wanting a convenient all-in-one leisure facility for regular swimming, gym use, or a well-organised children's party. The bouncy castle party packages are particularly well-regarded for younger children's birthdays. Dance fitness classes add variety for parents looking to exercise alongside a kids' visit.

β€œI recently joined the gym and Carl is the first person I see every time I check in. He is always very friendly, welcoming, and makes me feel comfortable as soon as I arrive. Carl is extremely helpful and always ready to assist whenever I have questions or need help using a machine. He takes the time to come over, show me how everything works, and explain things clearly, which has really helped build my confidence at the gym. He is also the only person who consistently greets me and makes the effort to say hello, which makes a big difference and creates such a positive atmosphere. His professionalism and kindness truly stand out, and I really appreciate the support he gives to members.”

β€œDance Fitness Class I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Michelle's dance Fitness class. I love the Afrobeat music and really hope the centre continues to offer the Afrobeat music classes. The music has great rhythm and I love dancing to it. I really get a great work out at Michelle's class.”
