Bannatyne Health Club

"Honest opinion, as gyms go this has to be one of the worse. Lack of equipment that will limit your workouts, progression and fitness, and staff that simply do not care. What equipment there is, is poorly maintained and often out of order. The ‘out of order’, or ‘we are on it’ sign is the most frequent thing here, ironic ‘we are on it’ as the members obviously aren’t as they can’t use it. Half the equipment is running machines of which half get turned off due to them trying to save money. Pool and steam room same applies as temperatures have been dropped. Lots of lights out, TV’s get removed and not replaced and mirrors broken. Changing rooms are simply unhygienic and the carpets I would dread a swab test. This gym needs a complete overhaul and money spent on new equipment and infrastructure (air-con being a prime example) rather than being run on a shoe string and into the ground. There has been zero investment since Bannatyne took over. Maybe Bannatyne should focus on selling ice cream again"

"Love this gym, I have been a member for a while and have tried many. I was very nervous when I first started, but the staff that work there are really friendly and always helpful. Very clean and warm environment with great facilities, and so many classes and training sessions for all different needs included. Wouldn't go anywhere else now."

"Went for a spa day and was quite disappointed as it just felt like a gym and not the spa experience we were after. Swimming pool is small and cold and only a few beds in a corner squashed next to each other & only one private cubicle in the changing rooms. Spa itself is very small and the hot stone beds were the best thing about the day although one bed wasn't working. If you want a spa experience I suggest you go somewhere else."

"Beware shady practices when trying to cancel in writing. If you do not give a full months notice (even 1 day less) they charge an extra month. If you do not pay they harass you nearly every day by text email and phone, then reject your cancellation and seek to keep charging you every month. Then when it gets above a threshold they pass it off to debt collectors for more harassment. Avoid at all cost especially as also the showers hardly work, half the cubicle doors dont shut, changing rooms smell and a quarter of the equipment is usually out of order so you have to queue to use what is working."
