  Been going for 2 and a half years consistently. Machines are well maintenanced but definitely worn (what do you expect with the age and use of the gym?) Staff are amazing and willing to help with spots or general questions, and a fairly accepting community of daily goers. Definitely recommend

  Awful service, never able to use facilities due to classes. I signed up with my children, ages 13 and 11. We wanted mostly to swim and play badminton. It turns out there is only a 15 minute window every week in which to book a badminton court. That time is at 845am on a Monday morning. You will be asked to wait on hold for 15 minutes and then will be lucky to get a court. Phone any other time and you are out of luck. As for the pool, there are lessons absolutely every weekday during the times when people who work or have school aged children would likely want to swim. I was even told we would not be able to swim during the 'open swim' time of 530am on weekdays unless my kids can 'keep up' with the professional swimmers who train at that time. It is an outrageous rip-off.

  Fantastic facility. We are lucky to have places like this to take the little ones on these cold winter days..

  Great 25 m pool and good running track for those really cold days you don't want to run outdoors.

  Parking is atrocious. Give yourself lots of extra time if you actually want to participate in swimming lessons.
