All the equipment's in the gym is new, nicely decorated. Also badminton court is in a very high standard compare to other gym. Only downside is during summer or when the sun is out it becomes difficult to see because there are no curtains to block the sun light coming through.
Overall great place to visit.

I like that the monthly fees are low compared to other commercial gyms. And despite that you manage to run a really impressive gym. And and to that one can enjoy swimming and other sports all under one roof, I don’t think there’s any other place in London at these prices. Plus, all the money goes into developing the facilities which is used by local communities is commendable.

It's not too big but has most of the stuff I'd be using for a workout. The space has a clean and modern feel to it. I am personally not fussed about the ladies area as much but I think it's a nice thought as well.
Nice that you run classes and that on Friday's swimming pool is accessible to gym users.
As a recommendation, it would be even nicer if you had one of those inclined beds for abs exercises.

Great fitness instructors - always look forward to attending the classes. They are knowledgeable, helpful and always enthusiastic
It is great that members can use the gym when classes are cancelled, and that the swimming pool is available on Fridays - gives a great variety of sports and exercise regimes to choose from
As for improvements - think the attendance system could be improved. Too based around giving receipts and sometimes it is easy to forget, which results in me being charged for penalties for classes I did in fact attend!
Would also be easier if members for fitness classes didn't have to queue to enter - the bar code on our cards should be able to recognise us

Generally the staff are friendly and helpful. The centre itself has a lot of character and is generally well maintained.
Only negative has been some maintenance issues in the changing rooms with the Male Gym showers not all working all the time and some lockers in the Male pool changing room breaking and swallowing the 20p fee - which the manager couldn’t pay back.
