Poor customer service from Head Office. Broken and cold showers

Disadvantages: lack of lockers, lack of usable showers, cramped fitness classes

...services, using all threatening manners to extract payment from you because they say you have signed an agreement, but then they themselves fail to fulfil their side of the agreement. I would not use this gym again and do not recommend the the London Wall branch of LA Fitness ...

Virgin Active Croydon - It Didn't Work Out

Advantages: Clean, functional, has all key facilities and equipment.
Disadvantages: Cramped, basic and has a poor ambiance.

...I was living at working. Virgin Active Fitness Club in the Grants complex, Croydon, fitted the bill in this respect and I’ve been a member there since November 2008. Why Did I Join a Gym? There are many reasons for joining a gym. These include vanity; concern about health; a desire to improve fitness for sporting or professional reasons; programmes for recovery from injury; and no doubt various other reasons that haven’t even crossed my mind. ...
...My decision to join Virgin Active rather than any other gyms was based on location and to an extent on brand recognition – I was aware that Virgin Active was a major player in gym provision and felt that I couldn’t go too far wrong. The only other gym I’ve been a member of before was the Fitness First at Cottons near London Bridge, which was an excellent gym with which I was very satisfied, but which was no longer suitable once I wasn’t working in ...

La Fitness in Sutton Coldfield - Don't Bother!

Advantages: Location, low price, although quality reflects this
Disadvantages: Poor state of repair, over crowded, bad service, poor value for money.

I joined La Fitness - Sutton Coldfield just under a year ago and I am counting the days until it ends. I thought this gym would be a good choice as it was close to the train station where I get off and would encourage me to go more frequently. There is a Bannatyne at New Oscott but I couldn't face the traffic on the Chester Road. I secured a corporate deal by introducing our company to LA Fitness. As I forgot my card on the day I actually went to ...
...I would be able to use any gym for the same price. This would've helped me as I could've used the branch in town as I work nearby. When I joined I noticed that there was often equipment that wasn't working and was left for a fairly long time before it was fixed. The air conditioning is only on now and then and the swimming pool's heating frequently doesn't work - I have actually been in outside pools that are warmer than theirs. Now there is no ...

Pleasant fitness club in manchester

Advantages: Plenty of equipment, classes, and a great view
Disadvantages: Cost, location depending on where you are

The Esporta at Salford Quays is probably one of the best in the Manchester area in terms of cleanliness, service, appearance, and equipment. It is lacking mainly in size of the pool, and perhaps location, but the location depends on where you live, so it may be very convenient! The fitness area includes two levels of machines for Cardio: stationary cycles, sitting cycles, rowing machines, treadmills, step machines, and a variety of other equipment ...
...machines, arm machines, and a variety of specialized equipment for hamstrings and tummy exercises. Free weights: all the necessary weights and bars you could need. Stretching/fitness ball area: a floorspace with area for stretching, using small freeweights, or fitness balls. Spin room: enough room for maybe 30 people (i.e. stationary spin cycles). Fitness hall: a large area for other aerobics classes. There is also a pool, separate changing ...
