Davisd Lloyds, Cardiff - Read before you join!

Advantages: Good place to play tennis
Disadvantages: The Members Relations Team are crooks!

REVIEW OF DAVID LLOYDS, CARDIFF The club is best described as having two sides. The Good: A good quality club. Expensive, but great for tennis and very family friendly. The gym is very good and the cleanliness of the club is of a very good standard for the vast majority of the time. The tennis staff are great, very helpful, great fun and during my 7 years as a member I was always made very welcome, DML is a star. There are some pleasant members ...
...tennis leagues you will always have good people to play with at all levels. The bar and restaurant prices are a touch overpriced and portions sizes and quality can vary. The bad AND THIS OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING: The office staff, in charge of Membership Relations, are ruthless and to be frank; very very dishonest! The club ties the members into very long contracts and does not adhere to it’s own contract with regards to price increases (14a ...

Fitness First-Cardiff

Advantages: Friendly, clean and well equipped
Disadvantages: no pool and can get busy at peak times

I have been going to fitness first now for about 6 months after it was recommended to me by my mum who has been going for several years. I feel that is very reasonable and I got membership for only £29.00 p/month and I can go anytime (cheaper packages restrict you to peak/off peak etc) The gym is very well equipped with ample treadmills, bikes and cross trainers for when it is very busy. It also has every machine you can think of for working your ...
...where you can workout away from the hustle and bustle of the main gym if its a bit busy. In there it has mats on the majority of the floor if you need space to workout with gym balls, hand weights etc (all of which are provided and there is a good selection of different weights and different sized gym balls to choose from). This room also has one of a wide selection of machines to provide a full body work out. They also have another excercise room. ...

Review of Fitness First, Cardiff

Poor customer service from Head Office. Broken and cold showers

Advantages: variety of fitness classes, pool
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 ...

Review of LA Fitness, Holborn, London

Greens Health & Fitness Club

Advantages: Fairly cheap membership fee, decent enough facilities
Disadvantages: A lot of niggling problems

...have been a member at Greens Health & Fitness club in Stoke for around about three years now, as it is convenient for me to use and close enough to work to use at lunchtime. I was previously a member at Total Fitness Gym but left as the membership fees were getting too high. Greens has a good gym, with decent quality cardio machines (we have treadmills, exercise bikes, cross trainers, rowing machines, step machines and what we call 'wave' machines ...
...That said, I wouldn't recommend Greens to any of my friends and family. The reason being is that our Greens Gym has now been open for 11 years, and I feel that the standard has dropped somewhat in the three years that I have been a member. The staff are ok, although I was told off when I joined because I didn't tell the personal trainer that I needed an induction and personal exercise plan. I was a little bit taken aback as I was the new member ...

Review of Greens Health & 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 ...
