Issue with how they handle memberships. About 6 months ago I spoke to a staff member at the front desk and asked to pause my membership because I was leaving the country. I was told it was fine, and when I wasn’t charged the following month, I assumed it had been sorted.<br><br>Fast forward 6 months later, I suddenly get charged £50 again out of nowhere. I emailed them and was basically told my membership was never paused, and that the staff member “shouldn’t have said that.” Conveniently, because I don’t know the staff member’s name and they “asked around” and no one remembers the conversation, they’re acting like it never happened.<br><br>They refused to refund the £50, saying I didn’t follow the correct procedure. But from my perspective, I did exactly what I was told to do by their own staff. There’s zero accountability here.<br>Instead of showing any goodwill, they hide behind policies and the “small business” excuse while taking your money.<br><br>Wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy paying for things you can’t use and dealing with poor customer service.
From the minute I walked into the gym I felt welcome, all the staff have been fantastic, Dean is very welcoming and has a vast knowledge that you can see he wants to pass on to his clients, the coaches paying attention to small details that can make a huge difference to how you perform, Joey and Anya are on it and really positive towards everyone. Bens knowledge of nutrition has really put me on a positive path with food and made it so simple, no mental fad diets, only simple facts. Just walking through the door, always get a really nice welcome from Lauren, really is a fantastic gym. The staff I haven’t met I’m sure are also amazing, if this is the calibre of the ones I’ve been lucky enough to speak and be trained by. Keep up the good work.

Great space!!! Great staff
Went in on 05/08/25, met a couple of the trainers (Oli was one) both extremely friendly and informative, answered all my questions and invited me back this weekend for a free class. Amazing gym with almost every piece of equipment you could want. Thank you!
