Great gym Charlie is especially helpful the best person in the gym
💯
Great place love it
Amazing gym, friendly people even then there's the odd few moody ones but most are chill. The machines are high quality and the place is kept clean. The only problem is that its horrible in the summer. The lack of AC is noticeable. In the winter its perfect.
Thank you to Charlie for showing me around the gym and Aimee for answering questions over the phone a week prior. Deffo my kinda gym and once I move to the area will be singing up and make it my regular, looking forward to having some EPIC sessions there. Peace out!
Make it look so nice on TikTok etc. Went with a day pass. Not one thing in the gym was impressive. From talking about memberships with a member of staff to just trying out every machine to which not one actually worked seamlessly. Dumbbell section was a shambles. Benches are ripped and dig into your back. Can’t even get the pin into the weights on cables etc. Don’t waste your time in going. Joke of a gym. CATFISH.
Gyms decent, reminds me a bit of The Rock Gym where I used to go. Some of the machines are kind of outdated but decent enough. The outdoor gym is nice kinda wish it had some boxing bags out there. Overall 8/10
