Great looking Gym, But asking too much Price wise!

Advantages: Great gym and equipment, very clean and modern, friendly staff
Disadvantages: The Price!!

...first looked at the gym LA Fitness. As we walked in we inquired about getting a tour of the gym and we were told to have a seat and an instructor will be with us shortly, we had only sat down for literally a minute if even and we had been called for the tour, which i thought was rather quick and off to a good start anyhow. As we got a look around and created more of a feel for the gym we both thought it was well laid out with a good amount of training ...
...form, very modern, and more importantly clean, the place was spotless. After the tour that was well presented by the instructor we were really considering joining as you do so we asked some questions about the different types of memberships you can have and the prices etc. Everything was going well and then he mentioned the options ~ Option 1 ~ Club Peak 12 months (your chosen gym, at any time) for £45.99 for 12 months with no Sign up fee which was ...

Review of LA Fitness, Belfast

Quick Fit !

Advantages: Welcoming, homely, well-run
Disadvantages: Expensive if you do not use it a lot

...heart crisis seemed likely. Esporta Belfast opened not too far away from home, and a caller at the house offered a month's trial for £20. I was there in a jiffy ! 2 ~~~~~~~~~~The Hurdles~~~~~~~~~ Time was still a hurdle. No extra hours had been added to my days! But an early start proved to be the answer - at 7.15 am there are few folk in the gym and fewer on my phone ! Being a creature of habit was another hurdle, and I knew that this had ...
...least half the people in Esporta Belfast, are there with the same needs as myself.! 3 ~~~~~~~~~~The Surroundings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Esporta Belfast is very easy to reach - traffic permitting, being very close to the City Airport, the Holywood Exchange and Tesco ! It is set in its own grounds with green fields and a little wood surrounding three sides. There is plenty of parking and I have never seen it more than three quarters full. The foyer ...

Review of Esporta Club, Belfast

Anyone NOT for tennis ?

Advantages: Easily accessible, good facilities and nice staff
Disadvantages: Cost - unless you use it well

Gym memberships appeal to two groups of people - those who want to impress others with their affluence and those who are desperate to improve fitness. I am in the latter, and reckon it is good value. Why ? Lloyd's in Belfast is in a great location, close to the Dundonald Ice Bowl, and on a nice green field site. It has pleasant outlooks and plenty of parking room - which is a secure, card-operated facility. Inside, the spacious entrance area ...
...courts, pools and gym. Racquets courts - if you are for tennis after all, the courts are vast indoor areas as well as some outdoor courts, plus squash, badminton and table-tennis facilities. Swimming facilities include a large indoor pool, a smaller, heated outdoor pool, spa, sauna and steam room, all accessible from the changing rooms which are used for the rest of the facilities. ( I have been in other clubs where that is not the case, and it ...

Review of David Lloyd Clubs, Belfast

LA Fitness, Aldwych. Horror story, don't trust with your stuff.

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Staff, size, safety

The equipment is average and the size small but not too crammed. My horror story relates to stolen stuff. I rented a locker there, and two months after had it broken into when the staff "accidentally" clipped the lock. Three months after they did a refurb, and all my exercise gear went missing. Their lost property list was five pages and this had apparently happened to everyone. The only excuses they had is "A lot of things happened during the refurb" ...
...dozens of people having their gym equipment STOLEN from your gym "out of your control"? This was in March 10. Staff offered more months of locker hire in compensation, which I would obviously have to continue my membership to take advantage of. I declined. They said they would be in contact but havent. Also, when I joined they offered a "student membership, 50% off standard rate", but this was a lie, as the standard membership prices are nowhere ...

Review of LA Fitness Waldorf, London

Virgin Active, Stockley Park, Hillingdon

Advantages: Accessible by walking over Stockley Park or along the bypass. Also served by buses A10 and U5
Disadvantages: sometimes machines are out of order. Very busy during from about 5pm week days

This is one of the big Gyms with a 25 metre pool and Spa with whirlpool, sauna, steam room and sanarium. It also boasts a Sports Hall and two studios as well as two floors with weight area and excersize machines. It also has a creche and a cafe, with Internet facilities and a lounge area I have been a member for a number of years now and get good benefit from my membership by going at least three times a week. There are a number of membership packages ...
...suits in respect of how much you want to use it. There are so many classes to choose from as well, all included in your package. The only extra's are Personal Training Sessions and Swimming Lessons. The staff are friendly and helpful with their services and the place is well maintained by member care staff who are always around to clean. ...
