I’m never normally one to write reviews but I felt this was needed…I was in the area and needed to get my session in so googled for a gym and this place popped up with very good reviews so I was hopeful. I got to the gym and scanned the QR code outside (there’s a turnstile you need to scan in on at the entrance), to fill out the forms and get my day pass. It didn’t work due to poor signal so I pressed the bell to ask for some assistance and pay. No one came initially but the gym seemed busy so I waited but after 5 minutes I rang again but still nothing. After 20 minutes and a lovely lady going to try and find staff for me (which she admitted was hard to do as well), I was finally able to get in and start my workout - albeit frustrated by the long wait but the staff member was nice when they eventually came out and the day pass was only £8 so I tried to brush it off.Credit where it’s due, they have a lot of very good equipment, I personally used the dedicated powerlifting section for the majority of my workout. Sadly though, it doesn’t seem to be very well maintained. The racks were in good working order but the calibrated plates were stiff going on and off any bar I tried and even stiffer when trying to get them off the weight tree or put them back, to the point of practically hanging off the plates just to get them to budge. The other thing that I noticed is that it wasn’t very clean. When setting the rack up for bench press, I found the kit to be covered in thick layers of dust and dirt, as well as other kit being scattered all over the floor (which I know is likely members not putting stuff away) which made the place feel very cramped.In short, the gym does seem to have something for everyone and some good specialist equipment but unfortunately my experience was dampened a lot by the unnecessarily long wait to get in and the general cleanliness and maintenance of the kit available.
