This is the most versatile gym I have ever experienced. It's clean and friendly and any equipment that is broken is repaired straight away . A PROPER gym. not at all like one of the many fitness farms that are around at the moment.

Great multi level gym with good facilities and plenty of high quality machines. Staff are very helpful. Even the decor and walls filled with body building competitors pictures is inspiring for gym goers.
