This is a really good gym overall. There’s a wide range of equipment – some of it older, but everything is clearly well maintained, neat, and in good working order. They’ve also just replaced the dumbbells, which is a great upgrade and shows they’re investing in the place rather than letting things slide. One of the biggest strengths of the gym is the people. There are plenty of fitness coaches and classes available, so whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, there’s proper support to help you reach your goals. The instructors are friendly, approachable, and genuinely encouraging, which makes a big difference to the atmosphere. The gym floor itself is always clean, and you regularly see staff actively wiping down equipment and keeping things tidy – something that doesn’t go unnoticed. The only area that could really do with improvement is weight re-racking. I genuinely feel bad watching staff put weights away, only for another member to come along, use them, and leave them out again. Even when people do try to put them back, they’re often placed on the wrong racks or in the wrong order. I know this is a common issue in many gyms, but it does feel like something that could be handled better here. A few ideas that might help: • Clearer, colour-coded or brightly large numbered racks so it’s very obvious where each weight belongs • Better visual guides (for example, larger labels or outlines) rather than current small posters people tend to ignore • Encouraging a stronger “check your station before you leave” culture • Light incentives or friendly reminders from staff during busy periods None of this takes away from how good the gym is overall – it’s clean, welcoming, well equipped, and well staffed. With a bit more focus on encouraging members to put weights back properly, it would be an even better experience for everyone.
