I would say it's a hidden gem of a gym in the area, it's very large. The dumbells are pretty old and beaten up though which is why I dropped 1 star. Who knows how much they weigh now.

Tfd is an excellent facility. It is really spacious with classes and equipment to suit all abilities. I particularly like the endless swimming pool. The staff are really professional and helpful. Would recommend as a first class gym. I also use the beauty salon there, which is really handy too.
