Nice gym however, pool far too busy. You have to book a slot and if you do not make it you are charged 6. I wouldn't mind, but to book a slot you would expect less than 4 people in each lane. So no freedom to turn up when you wish and when you do the pool is often too busy to get a swim.

Considering the difficulties the centre must have faced with COVID, I had an unbelievably easy, safe and enjoyable experience. It is so reassuring to see the measures in place but still be able to exercise as normal.

Decent facilities: gym, conference type area, indoor nets suitable for cricket and ball games. Reception and waiting area seems spacious enough. Lots of free parking.

Great facilities and always love using the fitness suite! I even get to use the "mywellness" app on the equipment which helps me stay on track. Booked in for a session with Alex on the climbing wall last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, brilliant customer service and will definitely do it again!
