I have been a member at Pirates for over 25years!! So I think that speaks volumes. If your looking for a club that offers great fun classes by enthusiastic instructors, regular programme updates, good gym equipment and friendly approachable staff then Pirates is the place. They offer a variety of memberships to suit everyone. The gym and studio are large enough so you will wont be turned away as its too busy and they have ample parking. Thank you Pirates for giving me a place to escape for over 25years xx
