The gym facilities are great and never too busy. It is spacious and clean. The classes are easy to book and even though I have only attended three classes they were fun, the trainers were good and the classes well attended. The changing rooms are very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful and some have been there for many years which is a good sign, hopefully.
The gym is very good value. Excellent machines, very good studios and plenty of space.
Three negatives in my opinion:
1) in the men’s changing room there’s always a lot of water on the floor, looks like it is coming from leaks in the ceiling. That would be great to dry I more often.
2) the room where the treadmills are is often hot, would be good to put more A/C. Can be dangerous for some people especially elderly
3) four treadmills haven’t been working for a while now that’s a lot. We often have to wait long to have an available treadmill as they are popular.
I love Clissold Centre The cafe is the best at any of your centres Sobell is a lovely place to take classes and has a great ice skating rink The staff at both these places, and Highbury Leisure centre make you feel welcome The classes are run by brilliant people
It is about the staff members whom are always ready to solve any query and are accessibly. They are polite, friendly and professional, I feel very welcome.
I have attended different pilates classes. The teacher's are experienced in their field and are flexible.
Concerning the building, it is necessary to mention the lack of toilets. Only three toilets, and one not working, are not enough for the number of women attending different classes, the gym, etc. The building is kept clean.
The gym is very friendly, both the staff and the other clients, a good mix of people who are mutually encouraging and accepting of people with different abilities and objectives. The men's changing rooms are however a disgrace, with the dirty floors and leaky ceiling, there are missing ceiling tiles and the remaining ones are covered in mould which could be a health hazard. I hope they are being tested regularly for legionella before there is an outbreak.
