Esporta Bristol

Advantages: friendly staff, plenty of gym equipment
Disadvantages: noisy bar

We joined this gym as it is close to home. I find the staff here very friendly and helpful. The facilities are all I need-an average size pool with a steam room, jacuzzi and sauna, a gym with plenty of every type of equipment and also a wide choice of classes to take part in. For those with babies/young children there is also a nursery open all day. As well as the above, there is also a bar. This bar is generally very busy and can be full of children ...
...noisy. The bar does food too, which I have found to be really tasty. The facilities are generally well maintained and clean. At the time of writing this review, they are undergoing a refurbishment of the whole place, which is making it a lot more pleasant to use. ...

Review of Esporta Club, Bristol

Relaxation at Living Well, Bristol

Advantages: Everything.
Disadvantages: Finding it.

...and affable, and the food, delivered to your table, SUPERB. The manicurists were excellent, very friendly and efficient. Nothing was felt to be too much trouble for them. I have emailed both the Living Well head office, and Boots, to apprise them of our opinions. We would heartily reccommend it. ...

Review of Fitness First, Leeds

OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING

Advantages: Good tennis
Disadvantages: Personally witnessing a long-standing member being refused entry.

OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING: The club appears to tie the members into very long contracts (currently, I believe 12 months notice) and this year when my membership was due for renewal the club did not adhere to their own contract with regards to price increases, 14a & 14b of the contract in particular. The office staff, in charge of Membership Relations, I found to be rather dishonest! I personally experienced some very unethical tricks when negotiating ...
...who she is, will even insist that she does not receive emails as official notice of resignation or retraction, depending on what benefits her, of course. I have also personally witnessed a long-standing member being refused entry to the club only 2 days after his payment ran out. How ruthless! Be careful! ...

Review of David Lloyd Clubs, Cardiff

Don't join

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Facilities

...has meant that companies like LA Fitness continue to operate when they ought to shrivel up and dissappear. This club is awful! Showers are closed, though if you were to go inside them you would find broken floor tiles and a leaking roof. The exercise studio features a leaking roof and lots of 'feature' puddles that gym instrutors need to warn of, just in case a member falls. The club is like an unwanted puppy - neglected, tired and in need of some ...
...complete the much promised £1m refurbishment as its unusable at present. It's a shame as I have been a member for many years and used to love it - a really friendly and and intimate club, which under the 'new' ownership of LA Fitness has been run into the ground. ...
