  A gym on it's last legs!
  
  Went to this gym on a Month trial membership. The staff are friendly, particularly a guy called Ben and a woman called Dee, but the gym is disappointing in a few ways.
  
  The maintenance of the gym is very poor with many machines having little things wrong with them. The cleanliness in the gym leaves a lot to be desired. I used the preacher curl bench, and noticed that someone had sweated so much there were sweat lines running down the front of the bench. I returned the next day and the marks were still there, so it hadn't been cleaned. The cleaning is done very very badly, and the smell of old body odour lingers in the air!!!
  
  The gym allows kids from different groups to use the gym, who are poorly monitored. In the mornings there are a group of kids who seem to be from some kind of school exclusion unit. They definitely have behavioural difficulties, and their foul language can be, well foul. In the afternoons kids from a local private school use the facility, and whilst the foul language is absent, so is common sense, and they are a bit clumsy in the use of the equipment.
  
  The pool is regularly closed for mysterious reasons, which one can only assume is down to poor maintenance. The steam room is great, but on some of the nights, it gets switched off early, so you find that at 9.30 the steam stops. I have also had the lights in the cardio rooms upstairs turned off on me at 9.30 (health and safety hazard) but I was led to believe the club shuts at 10 not 9.30.
  
  The female Personal trainer is shocking, she simply has to be the worst personal trainer I have ever seen. She stands away from her clients with a cup of coffee in her hand, whilst they do their exercises with poor form. She is painful to watch, and I wouldn't train with her one to one, if she paid me. The club has a bald PT, who seems a bit more attentive, and switched on. I didn't see any other PT's so I assume it is only them.
  
  The club does not offer food in the bar, and it has definitely seen better days, but it is a comfy, friendly environment. Mark the barman is a friendly chap and is on point when it comes to serving people.
  
  The parking facilities are great, and you never have a problem parking.
  
  I would say the club is probably not worth the charge, when compared to some of the newer 24 hour gyms. The closing times are too early for a gym in 2017, and they are often in a rush to kick you out.
  
  This said, with firmer management, better staff motivation, better cleaning and better maintenance this could be a very good gym. At present it is a tired old ship just limping about in the ocean waiting to sink.
